When i walked out of the house a couple minutes later i was all bruised and scarred. I put on a long sleeved black and white shirt, i rolled up the sleeves to my elbows though. I had gotten my cell phone so i ran over to Jordan's house. "Whoa what happened, Hayden?" Jordan asked and wiped some blood off my face. "Nothing.. Fell... Can we go inside?" I said very weakly and kind of tiredly.  "Yes of course." Jordan helped me in and we went upstairs to his bedroom, "What really happened Hayden..?" He asked it very slowly and sweetly, "Are you okay?" I sighed and looked away, "I'm fine.. My dad just saw me so... Never mind it's not really important. Doesn't matter.." i shrugged. Jordan hit my shoulder pathetically, "Doesn't matter?!? Are you out of your mind?!" he sat down on his bed and patted a spot for me which i took, "are you crazy... It's a big deal Hayden." he shook his head. "Why do you sit there and take it like that?" he gave me a small look with a tiny bit of confusion and anger. "Well we used to wrestle and box each other a lot, he always got hurt but i got the worse of it. He would yell at me then get overly angry and whip the shit out o me. That's just how it worked... Soon enough i was too scared to fight back so i didn't." i looked at Jordan and his jaw was dropped. "So you just took it? Didn't you ever tell anyone?" I shook my head and blinked my eyes very wearily, "i-i thought it was normal.." Jordan sighed and gave me a blanket, "normal..." he sighed out," Just Lay down and rest for a while... You look like you need it." I was about to say something but it was true, Jordan shut the blinds and turned out the lights then shut the door a bit, "Sleep Hayden... I'll watch out for you." he smiled then walked out. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep but i couldn't... There were whispering voices in my head, cursing me... Threatening me. "Why are you so worthless? Useless... You little brat! Your such an asshole. You whore, you bitch. You fucking screw up! You'll never find love. Your parents don't even want you! Why are you even here? I'm going to rip your head off and use it as a soccer ball, scoop out your eyes and use them as ping-pong balls, use your arms and legs as paddles for a boat... Your hair will be my personal broom, and your insides will be my dogs chew toy. You have no purpose-"

            "-HAYDEN!" i opened my eyes and looked around, Jordan was sitting there with his hand on my heaving chest, "are you okay? You were tossing and turning and screaming.." he stared at me. "What... Oh sorry.." I sighed and looked away, "I'm alright... Nightmares sorry..." Jordan just kind of looked at me weirdly, "Don't apologize.. Really it's fine.." he petted me slowly and sighed, "you sure you're alright?" "Oh yeah... I'm brilliant.." I smiled at him then sat up a little and grabbed my side because it hurt really badly.. I was bleeding, "Nix that... I'm not okay" i groaned in pain. "Oh my god what happened?" Jordan asked with a really worried expression on his face. "N-nothing..." i tried but he raced down the hallway an came back with a washcloth and some gauze. As he came over to me with it I suddenly got quite scared, no one has ever cared for me.. What if this was too good to be true? "Hayden, what happened?" he tried to take off my shirt to help me but i wouldn't let him, "please let me help." he looked at me with the sweetest eyes. I lifted my shirt to expose a hole that was bleeding through poorly done stitches, archery accident when i was 13. "Wow..." he apparently had never seen anything like that before, he dabbed it with a towel and wrapped it in the gauze, "god i feel so bad, come here." he said and pulled me into his arms. I melted.. Just totally and completely melted. "I'm okay really..." i assured him, put my hands on his back, and hesitantly hugged back. "Don't even try Hayden.. Your not okay, your a complete mess. Luckily, I can help you.. I'll be here forever." Jordan smiled and held me. Being held felt really weird... It was warm, really warm and comforting.. I loved every moment of it.
