A New Start // Jake Dufner

Chapter 1

Ivy's P.O.V.

I'm Ivy and I just turned 19, so I could leave whenever I wanted. I didn't have any money, so I'm basically homeless. I was walking down a road about a mile away from "home." I saw this group of three guys and two of them had cameras in their hands. I kept walking, but they walked up to me and scared me.

I jumped and the one with brown eyes asked "Do you need help?"

"Uh um.... sure." I replied shaking.

The one with brown eyes said "I'm Mikey Manfs, but you can call me Manfs. That's Jake Dufner with the other camera, and the other one is Ademir."

"o-ok, I'm Ivy White." I answered still shaking. 

"Here Ivy take my hoodie. You look cold." Jake told me. Of course, I took the hoodie and put it on. We all piled into Mikey's BMW. Mikey drove, Ademir was in shotgun, and Jake and I were in the back. I was tired, so I laid my head on Jake's shoulder and fell asleep.

When I woke up, Jake walked in and said "Good Morning." I didn't answer because I was so tired from last night. Jake said it was 10 AM. I went out to the living room and everyone was asking if I was okay. I said I was fine. I didn't want them to know about the abuse, so I went to the bedroom.

Jake's P.O.V

I could tell Ivy was lying, I saw the tears start to build up in her eyes. She ran to the room before we could say a word. I decided to enter the room and ask her if she was really okay. When I walked in, she was crying.

"Are you really okay?" I asked her because I knew she wasn't. 

"Not really" Ivy answered.

"What's wrong?" I said knowing it was probably going to be bad.

"Okay.... When you guys found me, I had just ran away from home. My parents. They abused me physically, emotionally, and sexually." She answered with more tears running down her face.
