Rya's pov

"Lets go." He commands as we get in the car. The whole ride was silent until we arrived to his house. I finally get the urge to speak.

"Dustin, w-we should break up." I say nervously playing with my fingers. He looks up at me in confusion.

"You're just gonna leave!? Huh." He says raising his voice. My eyes sting filling with tears.

"Dustin you HURT me almost everyday, its not healthy!" I argue with tears running down my cheeks.

He looks down trying to think of an excuse.

"Well maybe if you LISTEN to me I wouldn't hurt you! Get in the house now!" He hollers at me. He gets out of the car and opens my door and pulls me out. I yelp. He drags me inside his house that smells like smoke.

He throws me on his bed and slaps me with his hand. I almost black out. I hold my cheek in pain. The burn, the stinging pain, the discomfort. I couldn't take it anymore. Before I could jump out of my thoughts I felt a hard grip around my neck.

"You're not leaving me bitch!" He aggresively pushes me back down on the bed.

Endless tears form in my eyes. The pain is unbearable. Should I run home again?

I manage to get up and shake off the fear and pain.

"DUSTIN, I'm leaving, I'm fucking done, come back when you change!" I scream in a shaky voice. He shoots an angry look and I immediatly run to my car.

As I turn on the car I see him running outside swearing and yelling. My heart races but my mind knows this is right.

The tears continue to flow. They reach my mouth tasting like salt. I ignore it and pay attention to the road. Questions roll my mind.

How am I going to avoid him? Should I call the police? Why?

My nervous feeling forms a knot in my stomach. My cold hands tremble.

I finally get home and run to my room. I throw myself to my bed and scream in my pillow.

"WHYY?!" I scream. My head starts to hurt. Great. I get up and walk to the bathroom. I turn on the cold water and splash my face.

As I dry my face with a towel I feel a sharp pain on my neck. The bruise got worse. It got bigger and more noticeable. The red mark on my cheek is also visible.

Wtf! I fucking hate my life! How am I going to hide this?! Ugh.

Atleast I stood up for myself.

I shake it off and put on my pjs. I slowly slide under my covers and cry silently in my pillow.

Next day

'ERR ERR' The sound of my alarm clock alarms. I slap it off and groan. Oww. Every time I try to turn my neck it hurts.

I push my self out of bed and walk towards the bathroom. I do my routine and walk to my closet.

Hmm. I put on a grey sweatshirt with dark skinny jeans. I layer on foundation to cover the bruise and mark on my cheek. Now that its concealed I put my hair up and do my eye make up.

I've always loved my hazel green eyes. They were just like my mother's. Bright, stunning, and always lighten up my look.

I jog downstairs and eat a granola bar. I put on my converse and head out the door. I turn on the engine and drive to school. My stomach gets a sick feeling as I get closer to school.

Shawn's pov

I look at my clothes and try to decide what to wear. I need to look good for Rya.

My eye catches and grey v-neck shirt with black jeans. I spray a little more cologne than usual and do my hair. (a.n idk how to spell cologne.. k bye.)

I nod at myself in the mirror and run down stairs to grab a muffin.

I turn on the engine of my car and drive to school.

I walk inside the school and spot Rya trying to open her locker. This is my chance. I walk and almost reach her but see a familiar guy aprroach her. Dustin. He wraps his hand around her neck close to his face and almost chokes her. She yelps. I jog up to them.

"Hey hey what the fuck dude leave her alone." I say pushing him away.

"None of your buisness back off." He snaps back pushing my chest.

"I'll call the cops, fuck off." I finish pushing him off. He finally walks away.

"Rya you okay?" I ask holding her shoulders. I notice tears rolling down her face. She nods but I know she's scared.

I pull her close to my body and rub her back. She wraps her arms around my neck. I feel her crying on my chest. She pulls back.

"T-thank you Shawn." She smiles wiping the tears.

"Anytime, do you wanna talk about it afterschool?" I ask holding her hand. She nods. We both walk to class together.

Rya's pov

I couldn't believe it. Shawn just stood up for me. I feel so loved and cared for. The way he argued with Dustin. Shawn was my voice.

Just as Dustin was choking me, Shawn came by and stormed him away. I was scared that they were gonna fight but Shawn stood tall and confident pushing Dustin away. I jump out of my thoughts.

I notice Shawn staring at me in the corner of my eye. I turn my head to look at him. God, he's so handsome. I smile at him.

He turns a light pink shade and turns towards the teacher.
