Since what happened with that girl ( I found out her name was Cheryl ) I didn't see her all week long. I'm really starting to worry about her! Yeah I know she probably hates me but seeing her break down really got me. After I didn't see her on friday either, I decided to visit her, or at least to spy on her lol. I asked Betty for Cheryls address. Even though she told me not to visit Cheryl, I just felt like doing that. I don't know why I care so much about this girl oh god. I went on my motorcycle and started driving.

I arrived 25 minutes later. Wow. I can't believe she lives here! Her house is really big but also kind of scary. I opened the fence and slowly walked in. Her garden is so big oh my god. I kept walking until I heard someone scream. OMG IT'S CHERYL! I hear her scream again and again. It sounds like she's being slapt. Oh my god what am I supposed to do now?!
I couldn't move I just was in shook.

Suddenly someone opens the door. Cheryl runs out crying and screaming. IS SHE BLEEDING? Her cheek is really red. I hear her mom screaming:

"YOU ARE A SHAME FOR OUR FAMILY CHERYL! "YOU'RE DEVIANT! DON'T YOU DARE COMING BACK"!

Cheryl: "BELIEVE ME, I-I WON'T!!!

I barley understood her because she was crying so much.
Her mother slams the door.
Cheryl finally notices me.
I still couldn't move. I felt paralyzed.
She slowly came to me.

"T-Toni?"
Oh my god she knows my name. Wait why do I even care?
"What are you doing here?" she said while she tried not to cry.
"Uhm after I didn't see you all week I wanted to check if you're okay..." I said. She stared at me very weirdly.
"Sorry Cheryl I- I know I sound like a creep, I should just go.." I said while stepping back, willing to go because I felt like a stalker but then suddenly she did something I didn't expect. She just fell into my arms and hugged me. It was so overwhelming.  Hugging her honestly felt so good but I couldn't enjoy it since she started to cry again.
"Cheryl what's wrong? Please talk to me I'm here for you!"
"I..." she looked at me like she was about to break down.
"Thanks for trying to help but I really need some time to think about what happened" she said.
We exchanged our numbers and I told her to message me if she needs someone. This was the first time she smiled at me but she didn't seem happy at all.. "See you soon" I said really hoping to see her soon again.

I couldn't stop thinking about what just happened. I feel so sorry for her!
She doesn't deserves this! Nobody does..
I had to drive to the bank because I needed some money for the class trip, but I was perfectly fine with it because I had enough time to think about what just happened.
Her hug felt so good...
I never felt anything like that ever in my life..
How can I even think about that? Her mother is abusing her! God I'm going to hell! I'm thinking while driving next to the Sweetwater River. Even though it was frozen, the river looked really beautiful. I smiled. Maybe this town isn't as bad as I thought.. Maybe Cheryl and I could actually be friends.. Oh there's Cheryl...

WAIT. What is she doing there!? She is  sitting on the Ice! Is she... Oh God! She is trying to break it!
No no no no! I scream. I never jumped of my motorcycle so fast. I ran as fast as I could.
"CHERYL WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
I scream while I run after....
