Crazy enough

Balancing act

I quickly fell asleep, shocking, I hardly ever fall asleep easy anymore.. I have to take sleeping pills but rarely I have those nights where I don't need them

So usually when I have my few friends over I have to hide them why? Because my life is "perfect" remember? Yeah right... If only they knew what it was like

I awake to the sound of my ringtone signaling I had a text. I look at the screen, almost blinded me "shit.... why are you so bright? " I say quietly so I wouldn't wake anyone up. "Who the hell is texting me at-" I glance at the time "3:12?! Seriously? This better be important.." I unlock my phone and look at the message.

*new message from Logan <3*

Logan? Why would he be texting me this early? Oh did I mention Logan was my boyfriend? No? Oh well. sorry?

Logan is the only one who knows about my home life.. I remember he was over about a year and a half ago and he saw my bruises on my shoulder when my jacket slipped down..

"What are these?...." Silence.. "Chey? Please tell me?..." I heard him trail off at the last word or two. "It's nothing.." I say trying to avoid the conversation "Chey no it's not.. What happened? You can tell me" I debate telling him anything because I know how my dad would react if he found out I told anyone. "I'm waiting Chey" I take a deep breath and start to speak

"My father abuses me..." My voice barely above a whisper "what?" "I said.. My father abuses me" my voice level now where he could hear me "what?! Why didn't you tell me?" "He warned me if I told anyone he'd-he'd.." I begin to cry remembering what he warned me about.. " he'd what?" "He said he'd take a gun and shoot me.. Please don't say anything! I wasn't supposed to tell ANYONE!" "Chey! How can I NOT stand up to him?! How can I just sit here knowing he does this to you? I can't bear the thought of someone doing this to you..."

I smile lightly remembering the memory.. Anyways back to the story. "Logan it's no big deal. I'll manage just like I have for the past few years.." "Chey no.. He can't treat you like this! Not when I'm around!" He promised me he wouldn't consult my father on it or anyone else. "But if he ticks me off I'll have to beat his ass" Logan tells me. We both laugh lightly "hey I have to go but I'll text you tonight okay? Call me if anything happens! I'll come get you okay?" "Okay.." I smile up at him and give him a good bye kiss. As I watch him leave out the door my sanity leaves as well.. *end of flashback*

He's kept that promise too. For almost two years and that's why I love him as much as I do!
