*Destiny's POV*
I was sitting silently in my room as I did my homework. Well, not really, I was currently trying to finish a new song I was writing while my math book sat open in the corner of my bed. The doorbell rang downstairs. I looked out the window before making my way downstairs to open the door. It was Bailey. As soon as the door opened my jaw dropped and my eyes began to water. I held my left hand to cover my mouth and my right stretched out to the shoulder of my best friend. Her eyes puffy and red; her lip cut and slightly bleeding; tears were steaming uncontrollably out of her eyes. There was a red mark across her face and a bruise on the hand holding a backpack.
The door closed behind her as I let her in. I've seen her cry, but never like this before. The strong, happy girl I know was a complete wreck. She was broken. We took a seat at the dining table. "Bellz, what happened?..." I spoke softly
It took her a while to respond, she was trying to hold in her tears but sobs just came out. I just waited there patiently, knowing that what ever happened was hard for her.
"They- I... I-... They b-beat me again. The-they yelled prof-fanities a-and they hate me Daisy! They hate me!" she sobbed some more.
"Who did this?..."
"My parents... They kicked me out.... I-I have no place to go..."
"Your parents?" This infuriated me. I know she has family problems and stuff but this is way out of hand. There is no reason to beat your child. Absolutely none. Then it occurred to me, "Wait... did you say again? Bailey, have they done this before?..."
She looked at me for a couple of seconds then nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me??"
She shrugged and sniffled, wiping her tears with her sleeve.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know... You can live with me. My mom will understand. Plus she loves you, you're like her daughter already.
Bailey shook her head, "I don't want to cause any trouble.."
"Don't be like that, you're staying here. Final. Don't argue. Here, let's go get you cleaned up.."
That's the day she changed. She was still the happy-go-lucky, care-free girl... but she was.. different. I could tell that she was permanently hurt. Even though she doesn't dare talk about that day, she still reminisces on it. The terrible memory lingering in her head.
People at school knew she moved in with me, they just think it was so we wouldn't be separated when her family 'moved'. It's December now, exactly 4 months after the whole thing went down. Bailey has a new boyfriend to keep her busy. She likes him a lot. I don't exactly approve of him, but she's happy. It's really fun having her live with me. She's like my sister basically and even though we are almost exact opposites, we make a perfect duo. She's my partner in crime, haha.
My mom and her boyfriend are leaving to Fiji for a two week vacation in 3 days. Sometime during that Bailey wants to throw a 'Christmas' party. YA, the thought of a bunch of hormonal, drunk teenagers really says 'Christmas'.
"Please, oh, please, oh, PPLLLLEEEAAASSSEE!" Bailey begged, as we sat down eating lunch at our table.
"Iiiiittt'llll beee fuuuunnn..." Andrew sing-songed. He's Bailey's boyfriend.
"Come on babe. Andrew's right." Andre currently had his arms wrapped around my waist and smiled in my ear. I rolled my eyes, he's too cute.
"Fine." I gave in, "You guys suck."
"We suck? Or YOU suck?... You're boyfriend's dick." Andrew laughed.
I felt my face heat up, "You're disgusting." I threw a carrot at him, unfortunately, he deflected it.
"You're friend doesn't think so. And THAT'S all that matters." He smiled and kissed Bailey's cheek.
"You are sometimes gross though." She giggled.
Andre let go of me and kissed my cheek as well. "You going to eat that babe?" He was referring to my brownie.
"YES. Thank you."
"Hey Daisy, isn't that Julia?" Bailey pointed behind me.
I turned around, "Hefferland?"
"mmm"
I turned back to see my brownie half eaten. Oh no she didn't! "BELLZ!"
"What?!" She spoke with her mouth half full and giggled a bit, her hand now covering her mouth.
"You ate my brownie!"
"Nuh-uhhhh!" she continued to giggle. The boys laughed too.
"You butt. You ALWAYS take my food! And you wonder why you never finish yours!" It actually does kind of bug me, but I get my revenge one way or another.
Lunch was over and it was time for class. Bailey and I have a similar schedule. Luckily, me, Andre, Bailey, and Andrew all have this next class together. AP American History. Honestly, Andre and Andrew aren't cut out for this class, but somehow they manage. The rest of the day went on as we count down for school to end.
