Princess In Hiding

Bruises

Kathy's P.O.V.

Its been about 2 weeks and every single day after practice I would come home and go straight to my room. I would cry myself to sleep. I never leave the room unless its to get food, go to school, Nate comes and takes me somewhere, or an event that I had to go to other wise I never leave. Mary, Steven, James, Daniel, and Jason would try and come into the room and talk to me but I just sat there looking out the window or just stare at something or nothing.

Today Nate wanted me to go to his house. I really don't want to go but unless I want him to go out and tell everyone my secret. I just can't have that. Landyn is really happy here. He made new friends and I think he likes Anna and I want them to work out just like I want Brent and me to workout but that's never gonna happen. As I was changing into some track shorts and a long sleeved shirt I heard a knock on the door. I walk over and open it to see Mary.

"Nate is here." She said with a sad smile. I smiled back and said a quick thank you. As I grabbed my shoes, phone, and sweater I walked out of my room and closed my door. I walked down the hallway and down the stairs. I walked past the living room where I heard the boys laughing and talking. I'm glad their happy they don't need someone to make them sad. As I walked by I saw all the boys stop what they were doing and look at me as I passed by. I glanced at them then looked at the floor and ran the rest of the way to the door.

When I walked out I saw Nate sitting in the car and looked really impatient. He's gonna give me hell for it I just know it. Once I got in he looked at me saying he's mad is an understatement he started yelling at me saying 'You're so slow' and 'If you take forever again you'll regret it' he just kept yelling at me. I looked out the window and saw the guys looking. I looked down and just waited for Nate to calm down. Once he's did he drove off to his house and we sat in silence.

When we got to his house he turned the car off and got out. I also got out quickly and followed him into his house. Once the door was closed he pushed me against the wall and smashed his lips on me. The same lips I fell for. The same lips that told me he loved me. The lips that were sweet, nice, and caring. But now it's just disgusts me to the point I wanna throw up. His lips left mine and trailed down to my jaw and then to my neck. I just stood there and prayed that he would stop.

He brought his mouth back up and kissed me rough. He then pulled away when I didn't kiss back. I looked down only for him to lift my chin up roughly to look him in eyes. His eyes turning darker. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to his basement. He was going to fast that I started falling down the steps. I cried out in pain. My whole body yelling at me to not move and just lay there. When Nate reached the bottom steps he bent down and pulled me by the hair to get up. I cried more only for him to punch me in the stomach repeatedly.

"If you want me to stop just say so princess." He sneered at me a look of disgust in his eyes.

"P-p-plea-please s-s-stop. I-I-I'll listen." I said shaking in total fear. I shake as I wait for him to speak. Tears ready to start falling down.

"Next time I kiss you you kiss back got it!?" He said as he looked me up and down. I nodded not trusting myself to speak. He kisses me on the lips but I don't kiss back. This just sets him off the edge. When he pulls back a wicked smirk came onto his face as he slapped me. My head snapping to the left. My cheek burned and swelled with pain. I cried more. He lets go of my hair and I fall to the floor curling into a ball. He walked behind me and kicked me over and over. We've been in the basement for over 2 hours of him just beating me over and over. His laugh echoing everywhere as he looks at the damage. When he stops he bends down and forces me to look at him. His face held no regret at all.

"I have to go. I'll drop you off at your place." He said and stood up full length and walked up the stairs. I get up slowly and limp all the way up stairs and to the car. Good thing I left my phone and sweater in the car. Once I got in Nate reversed and drove off to my house. Once there he yells at me to get out when I do I'm barely closing the door when he drives off. I tie my sweater on my hips to hide some of the bruises that were starting to make themselves visible and limp my way inside. Once I get in I walk past the living room where the boy were still at. As I was limping past I ran right into someone and fell to the floor and cried out in pain.
