Aphmau was 5.
Her dad left.
Her mom drank.
She'd disappear.
Come back.
and be violent.
Aphmau didn't under stand.
She was taught to keep a smile on her face and she'd be fine...
not.
Aphmau's POV ---- The guys with blue and sandy blond hair left me and brown haired guy alone in the classroom. I kept quiet till he said something.
"You.. Your bandages..? Your being hurt..?"
I nodded
"What's your name?"
I asked.
"Laurence.."
he said.
"Nice name."
I said.
"Thanks"
he smiled.
"Your being abused too..?"
He asked. I held my breath as I clenched on the side of the desks.
"Yeah, I am.."
I said after Laurence asked me.
"Yeah, I am."
I spoke clearly, as I took off my jacket showing my cuts, bruises and bandages on my arms. Laurence took my off his shirt and I saw that his chest had bandages and his arms covered in bruises and cuts like mine.
"Were abused together.."
He spoke weakly. I kept quiet till the bell rang.
"Math"
We both spoke in an elusion.
"Do we really want to go..? "
"Nope"
I grabbed his phone and put in my contacts. He did the same with mine.
We walked out of school. Even though it was my first day.
We went to the park and Laurence told me about his life and I told him about mine. We had a lot in common.
"So, umm...When did you start getting abused??"
I asked. I know.. I know.. Its rude to ask someone that.. But I was just interested.
"When my mom died...I was 11 years when my dad became a drug addict..."
I same there shocked.
"Same with my mom, but my dad died and she started doing beer and drugs..."
I said and let a tear escape my face. I whipped it away quickly.
"Wanna see my full face..?"
I asked and Laurence nodes. I moved my hair from my face revealing a very large sized bruise on my cheek.
"Here.."
Laurence handed me a necklace.

I put it on and my cheek was healed.
"Thanks, it's lovely."
I said and he smiled.
"We better get home so we don't get paddled.."
I said.
"Yeah.."
We stood up, walking home hand in hand.
Laurence dropped me off at my house and waited till he got to his door. We counted to three and went inside.
4 minutes early.
sigh.
At least Laurence won't be hurt...I went to my room and locked the door and looked out my window and saw Laurence.
I smiled and he noticed me. He smiled back. I opened my window. Our houses were extremely close to each other so we held hands. I felt a tingle but ignored it.
