I put Darcy into her new crib in our new home. Her room was pink and her bed had the softest fabric. It had plenty of toys and was adorable. As soon as I laid her down, she was out. I tiptoed out and Lily ran straight past me, her feet padding across the floor.

I walked into my room. The walls were blue and it had a picture of me and him. I wanted to cry. I missed him so much. I picked up the picture frame outta a box. I set it on my dresser and I picked out clothes for school tomorrow. A light blue tank top, since my bruises are fading, and ripped skinny jeans. I was feeling more confident lately. I was gonna look hot tomorrow. I slipped into shorts and a long sleeved t-shirt. I got on my laptop and went to Facebook. It beeped plenty of times.

"23 New Friend Requests.

60 New Messages.

100 Notifications.", it read. I skimmed through the friend requests. I added them all since I've seen them around school, but didn't care to check the messages or the notifications. I walked downstairs and sat on the couch.

"Connie?", a familiar voice asked. I turned around to see Adrian standing in the doorway of the living room.

"Yea?", I answered. He scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"I.. Uh.. I want you to follow every order I give you... Not like a slave. Just.. I saved you from that hell hole. So listen, please?", he stuttered. What!? Instead of pushing it I just nodded softly.

"1: I don't want you speaking. Only to me and my dad.

2: I'm having a Halloween party soon. We will go as a couple.

3: Your now my girlfriend.", he ordered. I raised an eyebrow, then my eyes widened.

"What the!? I don't have to listen to you!", I snarled.

"Sorry, Connie. Just listen. Please?", he begged. I nodded, sadly. I stormed up to my 'room'.
