After Marilyn and I walked back into the living room everyone decided it was now time to steal shopping carts. One by one everyone pilled inside Henry's van; everyone except Danny. I walked back in to get her to find her crying with her head in her hands. I sat down next to her.
"What's goin on?" I ask.
She put her hands down to reveal cuts upon cuts. As she looked at them stifled a sob.
"Danny...why?"
"M-my boyfriend and I are fighting again. And-and he s-says the most terrible stuff to me. Today is was I'm fat and I should go kill myself. Last time it was I'm ugly and no one will ever love a girl with scars."
I was taken aback, "What? Danny, why are you still with him?"
"I-if I left he'd just find me a-and...I'm p-pregnant," with the word 'pregnant' she squeezed her eyes shut and covered her stomach with her arms, bloodying her shirt.
"Listen to me Danny, you are beautiful and smart and funny and you are going to have an amazing baby. But you need to stop drinking and smoking and hurting yourself but most importantly you need to get away from him. I will find you a place to stay if it kills me and if he even says your name I'll call the police, okay?" I say even though I don't perticularly have a place to stay myself.
"I dont know.." She said looking down at her stomach.
"Just think about it, okay?" I practically begged.
"Okay," She agreed reluctantly.
With that we got up and left to go continue our night.
