Destery's pov
"Alright kiddo you need to go to bed." said Iris. Me, Jake, and CC groaned at the same. "Nope! It is 2:36 in the morning. And you can be a crab ass in the morning. So lets go." "Ugh fine. Seeya guys!" "Night Destery!" Called all the guys! Man they were cool they bought me AND sissy stuff. They gave us a home and.... I think Andy likes sissy!! Best day EVER!! We walked up to my bedroom and she came to say good night. "Iris.... can you sing Saviour?" "Of course buddy. Its night time ritual!" And so she started-
I never meant to be the one who kept you from the dark
But now I know my wounds are sown because of who you are ......
She sang the rest of it as I drifted off into a deep peaceful sleep.
Andy's pov
"So I was thinking that tomorrow we could get Iris and Destery a phone." Stated Jinxx . We all nodded in agreement at the idea. "She must be singing Destery to sleep since she still hasn't come down. If her voice is half as beautiful as her face..." I trailed off realizing that I was talking out loud. "I looked at the guys and they were smiling at me and it was creepy so I put my head down. She came down minuets later wearing hear pjs. Which consisted of a tank top and basketball shorts. She looked beautiful and she had her hair pulled back into a pony tail that was still super long. Some one cleared their throat and I realized that I was staring at her. "So now will you tell us?" Asked Jake. She looked around at us hesitantly as if thinking something over. "Ok but remember you promised. Ok so I walked in from going to the library. My dad was mad again for what reason I do not know. But as soon as I saw him I wish I hadn't. He charged at me and punched me straight in the stomach. He hit me a few more times and I started cussing him out but he continued to hit me. My mother asked if he could shut me up cause her tv show was on. I yelled again and she yelled shut up again. He hit me in the face several times. Hence the bruised face. He told me to send Destery down or me and him would go again. I went in my room and Destery saw me. As soon as I heard foot steps on the steps I pushed Destery out the door and into his room and I told him to lock it. My dad said that my actions were stupid and beat me ever more. He walked back down stairs so I took a shower and while I was in there I..... cut. I got out and took care of my wounds and then went to see Destery, I sang him Saviour cause he says that when I sing that he doesn't have nightmares. So its our ritual. And then the next morning I woke up to screams that belonged to Destery and knocked my dad out and told him to go in his room and lock the door and to not open it unless it was me. That was the night we left. And that's is why You see Destery with a Black eye and busted lip though they are both faded. Me on the other hand.... I want to show you what he did.... may I?" They had stayed silent through this entire story and gave me sympathetic looks and flashes of anger across their faces. Ashley was the first to speak. "Show us what you want.... we will always listen and watch." She gave him a small smile and walked into the kitchen. I cant believe she had to put up with that!! She is so innocent. How could he hurt that angelic face?! And Destery's baby face?! Iris walked back in with the makeup off and what we saw shocked us. Most of her face was black and blue and her eyes were completely black. Yet she isstill beautiful. Broken, battered, and bruised, but beautiful. "If it weren't for you guys we would have been on the streets. So thank you. You mean so much to us. All of you!!"
