*Kyle's P.O.V*
I was sprawled out on the couch, watching t.v, when my phone started ringing. The caller I.D. read 'Mom'. I smiled to myself and answered only to find Charlie at the other end.
"Hey Char, why are you messing around with mom's phone?", I tease her.
"I wanted to talk to you," she says, and I sense something in her voice. Sadness.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask, getting up from the sofa.
"Its just, Its dad," she says. She was talking about Bill, our stepdad.
"What'd Bill do now?", I say, through gritted teeth.
"Dad's been hitting us again. He hits me less, but he's worse with mom," she says. "Its getting bad Kyle," she starts sobbing.
"Hey, it'll be okay. I promise. I'm coming now. Im coming to save you, okay?"
"Okay," she sniffs.
"That a girl, now give the phone to mom."
"Hey son, how are you?", my mom says coming on the line.
"How are you is the questions here," I say.
"What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean mom, why didnt you tell me before?"
"I didnt want to cause you any trouble," she says.
"Im coming home for college now, and I am going to teach that man a lesson."
"Kyle, no, dont."
"You cant stop me mom. Im coming back."

I walk out the airport and focus on finding a cab. I just reached New York. Ciara, Theo, Mason and Nina all came to see me off. Ciara was distraught, I could see it in her eyes. But she kept a smile plastered on her face for me. I kissed her sweetly one last time before boarding the plane. I can still feel her lips against mine as I get into the cab. I direct him to my college. Mom asked me to stay there for a while until she settles things at home.
As I reach the college, I go straight to the admin office to get my schedule and dorm keys. When I enter my room, I see that my roommate hasnt arrived yet. Once Im dont putting my things in place, I sit on my bed and dial Ciara's number.
