We were all sitting in the car. Mark was driving with Ethan beside him. Tyler insisted that he sat in the back with me. I looked out the window, imagining what might happen. To be honest, all the best possibilities was me coming out with maybe a bruise or black eye. It sent a painful shock down my spine. Apparently I flinched and Tyler noticed. He put his hand on top of mine. I flinched again then turned to him. "I'm sorry did-" He started to pull his hand. I turned my hand over and quickly grabbed his.

"No...I need this." I mumbled, looking at him with watery eyes.

It was small gesture but, needed. They were all so sweet, taking me in, and even showing me to the house. Eventually we stopped. I looked up and gulped lightly. The man I once called my father stood on the porch. His darkened, drunken gaze fixed onto mine. My body began to shake on its own, until Mark's voice brought me back.

"Nothing will happen" He looked at me with care, "We'll protect you, right guys?"

Ethan looked like he could kill but, immediately shook his head. "Oh, yea, I'm sorry." He blurted and started to get out. I followed behind him. I held my arms together and quickly passed my father. Tyler stood outside with him. "So you're...Michael?" Tyler crossed his arms, leaning on the porch pole. "And you are?" Michael grunted. A flash of anger ran through Tyler's eyes.

I quickly threw things into a bag, moving throughout the room. Of course I only the things I needed and a few things that were important to me. Mark looked over my shoulder. "Who's that?" He asked softly.

Without looking at him I started to talk "My...my mother and sister" My hand ran over the picture. I stood up, hugging Mark tightly. "Thank you..." He smiled an  hugged back.

"Let's go home."
