My mom's eyes go wide with fear, "What?!", she yells. "Remeber that time I cane home from school and I had a black eye? Luke. And when I walked in crying? Luke. And every other time", I confess, "Why didn't you tell me?", my mom asks, "Everytime I said I would... he said he would hurt me even more".
"Mom... oh god mom. He's coming to L.A.!", I yell, I cover my mouth with my hands, "It's ok sweetie, he can't find us. Go upstairs and get some rest", My mom hugs me and the pushes me towards the stairs. I go to my room, lock my door and fall onto my bed crying. My phone rings and I pick it up

J: Come outside please

L: I don't wanna, I want to stay here

J: Then let me inside

L: No

J: Please?

L: Josh please...

J: I'll tell Brendon to let me in

L: Oh I'm so scared

J: Come on please

L:...

I don't reply and I put my phone down. I go to my mirror and put my hair into a ponytail and wipe my face, "Ok.. either your gonna have to face Josh.. shit", I mumble a conversation with myself. I get a knock on my door, "Can I come in?", Brendon asks.
I go to my door and let him in, "It's ok... you did the right thing Liz", he says hugging me, "I know. Now Josh is trying to talk to me and I don't feel like talking to anyone else", I say, "Then don't. Just talk to me", Brendon says pulling away and pulling me onto my bed.
I sit down beside him, "Did you show mom the scars?", Brendon asks, "I couldn't bring myself to do it, "Hot shot, he tried to stab you", Brendon says, "Don't remind me". My door suddenly flies open to have Josh standing in the doorway, I stand up off the bed, "What are you doing here?", I ask him, "Luke tried to stab you?!", he yells.
"Don't change the subject. Why are you here?", I ask again, "I'm here because I care about you Liz. When you don't reply to text messages it scares me, ever since you said Luke did horrible things to you, I've been worried about you", Josh says.
"Josh he's coming to L.A, do you think I'm not worried about myself?! Imagine what he could do to you!", I yell, "He's coming to L.A?!", Brendon yells, "Yes! Look", I show him my text messages from earlier today, ".... FUCK", Brendon yells. "Watch your mouth", my mom yells from downstairs.
I look at Josh, "I know you care about me... but we've only know each other for two days. There's nothing you could do to protect me, it would only make Luke even more ma-", my phone dings

LU: Get ready I'm coming for you

LU: and we're gonna have so much fun tonight

LU: I know your reading these texts

LU: And don't even think about running away with that yellow haired freak

I cover my mouth with my hands again and drop my phone, Brendon picks it up, "Luke, this is Brendon. Don't fucking lay a finger on my sister, or we will have some fun ourselves", Brendon says aloud. I slowly sit down on the floor,"DeadDeadDeadDead", I lay my head down in my knees and take deep breaths.
"Liz, Liz it's ok.. don't worry", Brendon says, "I-i can't. I can't Brendon, he'll hurt me, hell he'll hurt you guys worse", I say. "If he does, he'll go to jail", Brendon says. I lift my head up and look at Josh, "JoshJoshJosh", he looks down at me, "What?", he asks. I stand up and push him out into the hallway and kiss him. He kisses me back, "Woah Woah woah. The fuck?", Brendon says pulling me off Josh, "Heh... what?", Josh asks putting his hand on the wall. "I thought Liz hated you", Brendon says, "We made up after Luke broke up with me", I say. Brendon shakes his head, "On the plane? Like, as in, yesterday?", he asks, "Yea..", Josh says.
Brendon let's go of me and walks back to his room, I smile, "How?", Josh says, "How what?". "How are you smiling? Your ex boyfriend is coming to kill you", Josh says, "And? I probably deserve to die", I say, "No you don't", Josh protests, "Why not?". "Because I don't know what I'd do with out you", Josh says pushing into my room and kissing me. I push him off of me, "Go away", I tease turning away from him, "Never", Josh says wrapping me in his arms from behind.
He kisses me again I turn around to face him. He wraps his arms around my waist, as I do his neck. Josh pushes me down onto my bed falling on top of me, "Ow!", I cry out. Josh smiles as I push him off me again, "Come on", he pleads smiling. I shake my head no, I sit up and look at him on the floor.
"Tyler's literally being the most annoying person in the world right now", Josh says looking up from his phone, "But he's your best fren. How's he being annoying?", I ask, "He won't shut up about me and you", Josh answers looking at his phone, "Awe. Tyler ships us so hard!", I giggle, "What's so funny?", Josh asks, "Nothing. Just a memory", I lie. Josh crawls back onto the bed and lays down with me, "I'm too tired to go home. Can I stay here?", he asks, "Sure... I guess".
I stand up and grab a shirt and shorts, I go into my walk in closet and change them come out and lay back in bed with Josh, "Are you gonna change?", I ask, "Out of these clothes? Into what?", he asks, "I dunno... Brendon m-", Josh cuts me off, "Like... in my underwear?", I can practically hear the grin on his face growing.
"I-i g-guess", I stutter. I hear Josh unbotton his shirt and throw it to the floor as well as his pants. He lays back down and wrap his arms around me as I go to sleep.
