Chapter 5

Cats POV
I can tell that somethings up with Ava, she seems, how do I say it? Precautions. I fell really guilty for letting her watch me get beat up. I should of never turned my backs on the boys, I still love every one of them. I used to babysit Brandon & Ashton every weekend 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, because Mama Rowland had to go to work, and she did not trust Hunter one bit watching the younger boys. This was when my dad didn't drink, and he and she were friends, we do live next to each other. During that long and wonderful time, Hunter would usually have the rest of the gang over, this was how we all met. I still go over once and a while to watch Ashton, Mama Rowland always is telling me that Ashton misses me so much. I miss him too, I miss all of them... I snap out of it. I realize that my dad will probably be home soon, too late. I hear him scream for me down stairs, oh crap. I quickly tell Ava to shush and tell her to climb down the balcony on my escape ladder, and run, run until she can't feel her legs anymore.
Avas POV
I am so frightened right now, Cat keeps telling me to go climb down her "escape" ladder and run. I surprised she isn't scared to death. I realize that I'm frozen. I manage to try to talk to her though.

[ C=Cat, A=Ava ] (whispered)
C: Ava you need to go, like now!
A: I'm not leaving you, what's going on.
C: Ava! Just leave, I don't need you here, please go. It's for the best.
A: If I go will you promise to talk to me tomorrow, and tell me you're okay?
C: Yes! Now please go.

Hunters POV
I can't believe Cat never realizes I watch her cut and cry herself to sleep in her bedroom every night. I never told the boys because the would kick me out of the group, and without them I was nothing. I was surprised when I see Cats balcony doors open and shut, and a girl climb down the ladder. Then she moves quietly over to Cats kitchen window, it's really odd. Is someone breaking into Cats house?

Cats POV
Worst idea in my life, I almost risked my new friends life. I finally muster up the courage to go down to see my dad, he is super angry, and drunk. He yells at me, then slams my head against the wall, I feel dizzy. He kicks me in the stomach, and punches me. Everything hurts. I'm so happy when I feel the world fading to black, all my pain is gone.

Avas POV
THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! I stand helplessly at a window while my best friend is getting abused. I'm calling the cops!

Hunters POV
What in the world is going on at Cats house. All I can hear is screaming and the sound of something being thrown around. Then I see sirens. Crap, this is not good this is not good at all. Then I hear gunshots, I run out of my room to the street. And I see Cats dad lying on the floor. Then I see police officers comforting a girl, hey wasn't that the same girl I saw sneaking out of Cats house? I get closer to see, it's Ava! I wonder if she called the cops. I then turn around to see paramedics carting out an uncauntious girl who is busted up bruised and bleeding every where. It's Cat... I then hear cameras snapping and news reporters, and neighbors crowd around her house. I can't believe this happened... What will the guys say.
