•Friday•

I was walking home from school when Daniel pulled up "want a ride?" "I thought it was a one time thing?" "Just get it in" "fine" "are you going to the party later?" "I guess.. not to hyped about it though" "well I'll see you later then" "okay thanks for the ride"

I was getting ready when I got a text from my dad

Dad- your brother and I won't be home this weekend money on my desk for food love you be careful

Me-okay love you too

"Yay I don't have to deal with people" i threw on my best pair of skinny jeans and nice shirt and did my hair luckily the bruises aren't as bad now so it's not as hard to hide them. "Ready for hell" I said

"Geez more people here than I thought there would be" I thought to myself as I walked in the school. I sat in a corner of the room for about half an hour when Austin and his dildo gang came over to me "if it isn't our old friend fuck face" "fuck off and I'm not your friend" "is that why you killed your brother because he wasn't your friend" "what..." " ya know Jonathan" "I didn't kill him.." "you started the fire didn't you" "it was an accident.." "mmm so the house catching on fire and him getting stuck in there was an accident" "yes I would never kill my brother on purpose" I said with tears in my eyes. "Dude leave her alone" said Daniel "I'm just trying to get the truth from her" " I didn't kill my brother!!!" "7 years old he died so young all because you didn't make sure the fire was out" "shut up it wasn't my fault!!" I ran out of the school tears running down my face as I dug through my bag looking for my blade. It was raining and I was standing along the wall and then I put the razor to my wrist and pushed it into my skin watching the blood run out. I was about to do another cut when a pair of big arms slowly wrapped around me as one hand took the razor from me slowly, my vision blurred from tears, soaked, and shaking I didn't care who it was it was nice to just have someone hold me I fell into their chest and just cried while mumbling "I'm sorry Jonathan" over and over then he whispered "it's okay I'm here for you now.... let's get you out of this rain." Daniel said as he took me to his car "don't worry... I won't let them treat you bad anymore." He took me home we were both soaking wet at this point. "Here's some of my brothers clothes for you to change into" "thanks but won't he mind?" "he and my dad are gone for the weekend I'm home alone" we both got changed. He cleaned and bandaged my cut making sure it wouldn't get infected. "Thank you.." he smiled at me kissing the bandage "all better" I smiled at him "wanna watch a movie?" "Sure I'm not in any hurry to go" I put Tangled in and curled up next to him in my bed "when you said movie I wasn't expecting a Disney princess movie" "shhhh this is my favorite movie" I said laughing "okay then" he pulled me closer to him and I laid my head on him taking in his warmth I fell asleep.
