(THIS INCLUDES PHYSICAL ABUSE AND SWEARING)
*Liza's point of view*

I run as fast as I can to get to David's house, were only in 1 class together which is English history so I'm gonna tell her parents that we have homework to do together in that class. Once I finally get to his house, I feel a bit nervous, but I want to see David.
*knock knock*

David's mum: "Oh, um, hi." She seems terrified

Liza: " Hi. I'm Liza! David's friend, I saw that he wasn't at school today and we have an English history project we have to do so I decided I could come to do it here if that's ok with you."

David's mum:"Okay, of course. He's upstairs, his room is the first door on the right."

Liza: "Thankyou!"

I head up to his room, wondering what I should say to him... I walk in and he's sitting on his bed facing the opposite way and staring out of the window.

"Hi David" I say as calmly as I could.
I walk over to him, he just looks at me, I lean into a hug, and he cried for about 5 minutes on my shoulder

"It's horrible! It hurts so much!" He says and I can hardly understand him because he's crying so much. Suddenly everything goes quiet and I know something is wrong. David looks at me with a look of panic his face.

"Liza! My dad's here! I don't want him to hurt you! Here go here and don't make a single noise!"
He pushes me Into his closet
"Put some clothes on you so that we really can't see you! Quick he's coming!" Im scared! Not for me but for David! I decide to tape it, I know it might be a bad idea but at least I have proof and I can show it to the police. I get my phone out really gently. There is a small window thing on the door where I can slip my phone without making any noise.

Suddenly his dad barges in. He grabs David by the collar of his top, he hold him in the air and throws him to the floor.
David's dad: "You stupid shit! Why are you so stupid! You were such a mistake! I never meant to have you! My life was so much more peaceful without you! I hate you! Now take this knife! Take it before I kill you myself!"
Oh my god! I have to do something! I can't come out, I text gabbie really quietly whilst the camera is still recording.

*text convo*
Liza: GABBIE! PLEASE ANSWER! CALL 911! NOW! I CANT DO IT BECAUSE ILL GET CAUGHT! TELL THEM TO COME TO DAVID HOUSE! NOW! HES ABOUT TO GET KILLED!

Gabbie: Oh my gosh! Okay I'm calling! You better not be messing with me!

Liza: TELL THEM TO COME QUIETLY TO HIS HOUSE BECAUSE IF NOT HE WILL HEAR THE SIRONS AND RUN AWAY!

Gabbie: okay! I'm calling!

David takes the knife in his hands. David at this point is crying a lot.
David's dad: " NOW CUT YOURSELF! DO IT! NOW!"

He starts cutting himself, and he screams in pain

"DEEPER YOU WEAK ASS!"

David cuts even deeper into his arms, and his Dad starts beating him up. David suddenly faints and the dad laughs maniacally. He takes the knife and cuts his stomach and his arms. Suddenly the police is in the room and they grab him.

"WHO CALLED THE POLICE! WHO DID?! I WILL GET YOU SOMEDAY! I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU! JUST THE WAY I KILLED DAVID!" That hit me hard, I cried even more than I had been for the past 10 minutes. Is he really dead? I still didn't come out. I heard him screaming down the stairs so I figured he was going down the stairs. One policeman is still in the room, waiting for me to come out. Gabbie must have told them I was here. The paramedics rush into the room and put David onto a big bed. I walk out of the closet and feel really weak, as I walk out I fall to the ground, my knees not strong enough to carry me. I curl up Into a ball and cry for a long time. The policeman starts rubbing my back and trying to get me up in my feet but I still feel weak.

"IT'S ALL MY FAULT! HE WOULDN'T BE DEAD IF I HAD OPENED THE CLOSET! HE COULD HAVE KILLED ME INSTEAD! ITS ALL MY FAULT!" I'm screaming at this point and crying, and I realize David's mum is in the room crying too. The paramedics leave with David, But tell the mum to stay here for a while. One police man stays to. The mum walks up to me, I think she is going to yell at me.

"You can punch me!" I start crying really loud again "It's all my fault and I'm so sorry! "

"Liza," She says remaining calm but I can see the tears in her eyes "it's not your fault! I am so grateful that you came to our house! Liza! You saved us! Maybe David will be in a terrible condition, but you saved us from us never being abused again. David is going to be alright. I promise." She hugs me very tight and we both cry for a long time.
