Kristies POV
"Where do I start?" I hesitated not wanting to talk about anything that I've been through in the past. But I trust him and he needs to know that.
"I don't want to make you feel bad about what I'm going to say to you in a minute. Promise you'll still want to be with me after this? Don't tell you're parents anything.". Nate's parents and I never gotten along good. They hate the fact that we've been friends for basically our whole lives and I don't want to see their reaction if they ever find out we're a couple.
"Of course I won't tell my parents. Gosh I'm not that stupid.". Nate said in a slightly offended voice. I giggled and got back to talking.
"Well when we started loosing touch I was a mess. My poor mom has done everything she could to help me move on. Of course my dad isn't around very much because you know he's always working...". Nate nodded in understanding.
"Nate...I kept trying to call and text you but you never answered me and every time I hit send I kept staring at my phone hoping it'll lighten up. I didn't know what you were doing or if you were with a girl, and honestly the unknown things killed me. I never wanted to get out of bed and when I did I wouldn't have a productive day, id basically mope all day long. You're such a part of me now that I'd feel so broken without you and that's how I've been feeling until you finally started talking to me again.
"Things has not been good for me. I've tried to have a boyfriend but I'd always end up picking the wrong one. He would either abuse me physically and emotionally and he sexually harassed me. I finally had the guts to get away from him only because my mom noticed there was bruises all over my back and my eyes looked swollen from when he punched me in the face one day.
"She helped me take him to court and thankfully he's in jail now but every day I still worry about him finding a away to escape or if they will let him out. I'm a scared person because of him. Another boyfriend I had was an alcoholic and he wasn't as bad as the first one but he still would hit me every now and then and I was able to escape from him too. I was raped by both of them of course, they were very harsh about it and one day I had enough and tried to kill them but they beat me and threatened me first, so I kept my mouth shut. And then there's Drake who you've met and I'm sure he's going to do everything he can to make me miserable too..And I've also tried to kill myself by popping pills but I was one short because after I woke up from being unconscious I saw that there was one left and I realized that if I had taken that one pill I wouldn't be here right now.. I've cut...". I rolled up my shorts to show him the faint lines on my higher thighs.
"I cut there because I knew no one would see them. I'm good at keep secrets. Nate looked at me with sad eyes and I could tell I've made him feel bad.
"I should have been there for you...". I cut him off and put my finger to his lips. He kissed them and then he pulled it away and went for my lips. as we started kissing things began heating up but then someone was banging loudly on my door.
"Kristie! Nate! We've got to get out..Nate you're parents are here!!". We broke apart as if we got electrocuted and scrambled to get our shoes. I was scared shitless. Like me Nate has been abused too only by his parents. Remember when I said I don't get along well with them? Well this is the reason why. I heard glass shatter and ran downstairs with Nate behind me wondering what the fuck are they doing.
"My son will not be with you're piece of shit of a daughter!!" Screamed Nates mom as she attempted to throw another glass at her. I ran to where my mom was sitting in the corner of our kitchen, Her hands were covered in blood.
"Nate! Get me bandages from the medicine cabinet in our bathroom!". I screamed frantically at Nate. He ran to the bathroom and as he started coming back his father slammed him into our table knocking it over.
"Did you hear what our mother said? You will not be with Kristie!" I tried not to get into shock about everything that was happening. I had to help my mother and get her to a hospital. My father is on a business trip so really it was up to me to help her. I grabbed my cell phone and dialed 911. I explained them my situation and the police and ambulance said they'd get here right away.
"You're going to be okay mom.". She smiled at me and raised her eyebrow.
"I know that sweetie, you don't think iI'd give up that easily do you?". I gave her a small smile and waited with her until the ambulance came. And that's when I Nate screaming with his parents.
"You two will go to jail for this!". Nate screamed blood all over his shirt.
"Silly boy! Well get away with it we always do!!". I heard sirens outside our house and Nates parents tried to run out the back door but the cops got them and shoved them into the police car. We got my mom on a stretcher even though she insisted she didn't need one. I drove Nate and I to the hospital knowing he's in no state for driving. I wasn't either really but I had to get there to see my mom.
