❤️Raine❤️
Alex walked me home in a silence, something was definitely up with him. He lived a few blocks down from me. Alex was usually quirky, weird and could talk for hours about anything. I was getting worried about him.

"Hey are you okay , you seem a little down?" I ask meekly.
He said "yeah I'm fine, it's just that I'm worried about you Raine," He paused like he was thinking deeply. Then he broke the silence again, "why don't you talk about your dad to me anymore, it's dumb, I know. I-I'm just concerned."

He knows about my father being mentally abusive. He also knows that he has hit me a couple times.
I turned to to him with my big brown boring eyes. He had just hit a soft spot, I felt tears prick my eyes. I turned away trying not draw attention to face. He noticed right away and looked at me with his blue eyes and began to study my face. He looked worried if anything I felt bad not telling him thing, but he just couldn't know what had happened the past few nights at my house.

He broke the silence again and pulled my into a  bear hug. " I know it hurts, can you please tell me I'll try and fix it.

I pulled away from his hug slowly missing the comfort of another persons touch.
I looked at him with tears running down my eyes "I'm okay , I'm fine , one more year and I'll be out of his house."

I tried to pull myself together. Telling myself to stop crying. I'm making a foul of myself. With that in mind I stopped the waterworks.

I grabbed his wrist and kept walking. He was speechless, but he knew that I would tell him sooner or later. I let go of his wrist and looked up at him
"I'm sorry," I muttered.
He quickly spoke," Don't be sorry for things you can't control."

I was at home in bed watching Vampire Diaries. My father was asleep on the couch from drinking with his 'drinking buddies'. I could hear them downstairs. I was scared and frightened by all of them.

Especially after what happened the last time my father fell asleep while his buddies were still at his house. I began to panic but I knew I had to stay strong. But what if they came up to my room? What would I do then?  I then texted Alex:

To Alex(from Raine): hey can you pick me up in like 3 min? I'll explain everything.

From Alex(to Raine):yeah, I'll come as fast as I can.
I started to climb out my window on the second story when my fathers aquatints barged into my room like it was Sparta. I gripped to side of the window looking out of it and seeing my new neighbor. I looked back at the intoxicated, low life, scums, that I'm terrified of.  The three of them were stumbling towards me yelling  me to take my clothes off and much more repugnant  things. I leaped out of the small window.
