"All you want is attention" Blake rolls his eyes in the doorway.
"Were you watching us?" Reed asks
"Kinda hard not to when waterworks over there is crying her eyes out"
What does Blake have against me?
"Blake I swear to god if you don't start treating Kylie right.." reeds fist balls up.
"Why? It's not like I'm being nice to her to get her to like me" he smirks.
Reeds cheeks turn bright red and he gets up and chases after Blake, who is now running. Reed slams the door as he looks for Blake. I flinch at the loud slam.
"OW REED" I hear Blake yell.
Reed storms back in the room slamming the door behind him. I flinch again. "What'd you do to him?" I asked.
"I didn't do anything. I was going to yell at him but I got tired of chasing him. He pretended like I did something to make you mad"
"Ohh"
"Kylie" I hear him say. I look at him for him to continue.
"Are you afraid of me?" he asks.
I looked down. "I'm scared of everyone"
"Why?"
"Everyone knows how to hurt someone. Everybody in my life has made it plain and clear that I deserve to be hurt for messing up anything; even little things"
"No no no, Kylie. That's not true. You never deserve to be hurt"
"I'm a fuck-up. I screw everything up. I do deserve to be hurt"
"No Kylie, you don't. You deserve for everyone to love you and to never be hurt. Sometimes we all screw up, but we don't deserve to be hurt for it" reed says.
I stare at the floor. I wonder if my father wondered where I was. Or if he knows where I am? If he even cares? If he's happier now that he doesn't have to worry about me being a bother?
"Kylie?" reed snapped me out of my trance of thinking. "Are you ok?" he asks as he pulls me into a hug. I shook my head no.
"Another pity party?" Blake asks walking in the room. He sits on his bed and is on his phone.
I pull away from reed. I stand up slowly. I'm still dizzy, but I can keep my balance. I slowly walk out of the room.
"Blake please stop she's really been hurting" reed sighs. He came into the hall where I was holding onto the walls, trying to keep balance and still walk.
Reed grabbed my hands and guided me back to his room.
I sat back on his bed. The room was dark. "Ok, it's getting late. I think you need some rest" reed whispered to me. I nodded, and he kissed my cheek.
He left to sleep in the living room. I fell asleep quickly.
He punched my jaw. My hair was being tugged on, and I fell to the ground. He towered over me, and it made me even more frightened.
He picked me up and threw me at the wall a couple time. He started to punch me worse. "PLEASE. PLEASE STOP!" I cried.
My mind jolted back to reality. Reed was shaking my shoulders, hovering over me, trying to calm me down. "God she's so annoying" Blake sighed and walked out of the room.
"Are you ok?" reed asked me. I didn't think I was. I mean physically I'm fine. Emotionally I'm fucked up.
He hugged me tightly. I clung onto him so tight, I never wanted to let go.
"Shhh you're ok. It's alright" he whispers in my ear.
He pulls away and kisses my cheek. "You ok now?" he asks. I nod and he leaves. Then, I try and get some peaceful sleep.
"Why do you even like this ugly girl anyways?" I hear Blake.
"Blake look at her. She is not ugly. She's beautiful"
"Um scars, cuts, and bruises on her face don't make her beautiful" he argues.
"Can't you see deeper than skin?"
"Deeper than skin? The only thing with her thats deeper than skin is the pity party she throws for herself"
"Blake, she's gone through a lot"
"She only wants attention, reed" Blake says.
"I think she's waking up. Be nice" reed says.
I opened my eyes to see reed and Blake. Blake was rolling his eyes. I sat on the edge of the bed. I stood up without being as dizzy as yesterday. I walked out.
"Kylie what are you doing?" reed asks
"I'm clearly not wanted here" I say and keep walking.
I made my way to the door before reed grabs my wrist. I gasp and pull away immediately.
"Sorry" he says quietly. "But please don't go. I don't want you to get hurt again"
"But I'm not wanted here" I argue
"I want you here"
"Blake doesn't and he's not being nice about it and I don't want to hear about how ugly I am and how much he doesn't want me here. I don't want that" I walked out.
"Kylie please!" reed begs. "I can get Blake to stop"
I turned around to face him. "Fine I guess" I gave in.
I don't want to be alone again just as much as reed wants me to be safe.
