Recap:
I need to forget reed. The only way to do that is to go back to my house. I kept walking all the way to my house. I stopped in front of the door. Should I really do this? I just got better. But its not like anyone really cares about me, anyways. I turned the handle and went inside....
I got through the door without being strangled to death, there's an accomplishment. I closed the door quietly behind me. I never really thought about it, but this house in general scares me. I've been hurt here so many times, that it makes me uncomfortable to even be in here.
"Where the fuck have you been?!" my father yelled. I saw him standing in front of me. He towered over me, it always makes me more terrified.
He shoved me down. "Well?!" he asked for an answer.
"A friends.." I say unsure if that's a good response.
"Get up" he says through his teeth. I stand up quickly. "Don't ever leave again!" he yells. He punches me for each word he said. His last punch left me sliding down the wall and onto the floor.
"You're lucky I don't kill your ass!" he screams at me. He pulls my hair and picks me up, only to throw me at a wall. My head hit off the floor. He got on the floor to punch me. Once he was done punching, he left the room.
I reached in my pocket and took out a blade and slid it across my wrist. I watched the blood ooze out.
My father came back in the room. I put the blade back in my pocket. He kicked me a few times. He got down and starts to bang my head off the floor.
He then left again. I got up, my room spun and I couldn't keep balance. I fell over again. I tried to hold onto the wall to keep balance. I walked slowly. I need to get out.
I opened the door. Once I couldn't hold onto the wall anymore, I fell on the ground. I felt a warm liquid run down my face.
A car was going by, but stopped when they saw me. People were getting out. My vision was going blurry. "KYLIE" I swear it was reeds voice. He ran to me. "What happened to her?" I heard an unfamiliar voice.
"I think her father beat her again. I don't know why she left my house, though" I heard reed answer.
I felt someone pick me up. I look up to see reed. I cuddle in his chest because its warm. He carries me to the car and brings me to his place. I laid in the back and my head was on his lap. He stroked my hair, it was really soothing.
When we got to his house and he carried me inside, the last thing I heard before sleep took over me was: "god she only left for your attention she's so stupid"

"I don't care. You're going to tell me what you said to her!"
"All I did was ask her if she likes you!" Blake defends.
"Really? What'd she say?" reed asked
"She asked me if you liked her. I told her that you would never like her with how ugly she is. I mean with all the bruises and stuff on her face? I told her that you definitely don't like her at all" Blake says
"Blake why would you say that? That's rude. Besides, I don't think that at all! I think she's beautiful. I don't care how damaged her face is.. she's still beautiful" reed says
"Really?" I asked. They both turned to me.
"Yes really" reed says right before he kissed my cheek. "How do you feel?"
"I'm ok" I say. I wasn't really that bad. It's just my head hurts like hell, but I'm trying my best to ignore it.
The room was dark. Its night. "Blake can you leave for a while? I need to talk to Kylie privately" reed says. Blake walks out.
Reed sits on the bed. "I need to ask you something" reed sighs. "What caused you to go back there?"
"Nobody would ever love someone with an ugly face.. I'm all covered in bruises and scars everywhere from my father. Nobody would ever love that. Blake made it clear yesterday that you don't" I explain.
"No Kylie. Blake is an idiot. He wants to hurt you even more. Looks like he's doing it, too. Look, you're gorgeous no matter what. I know you may not believe so, but I swear its true"
"I need to ask you something now. Why are you helping me? Usually there's nobody that wants to help me"
"You needed someone to be there for you, and you didn't seem that bad of a person. Of course I saw you when you were in a lot of pain, and you were about to pass out. I just thought you needed help and I didn't mind helping someone in need"
I hugged him. He's so amazing. He tightly hugged me back.
"Please get Blake to stop saying I want attention" I mumble in his shoulder. "I will" he says.
He pulled away. "It's getting dark. You should probably get some sleep" he says softly. I nod and go to sleep.
I was shoved down to the floor and kicked in the head. The pain wouldn't stop. My head was pounding. He looked down at me with a smirk of success on his face. He grabbed me and threw me at a wall and did this a couple times. My whole body aches and every move I made had so much pain in it.
He grabbed my wrist and tugged me into a room. He threw me on his bed and held me down as I struggled to get away.
"Please wake up" I hear reed. I open my eyes to see him towering over me. He gave me a hug.
I see Blake sitting on the edge of his bed with his hands in his face. "I'm sleeping in the living room with you, reed. I can't sleep if she's thrashing around your bed every second" I hear Blake say in a tired voice. I looked at reeds alarm clock. Its 2:45am.
"I'm sorry" I apologize.
"It's alright" reed softly says. He kisses my cheek gently. "Are you gonna be ok?" he asks.
"I think so" I say. He nods and gets up, going to the living room again. Blake follows him with his hands full of blankets and a pillow.
I return to sleep, hoping the bad memories won't haunt my dreams again.
