I looked at 'Blue' with confusion. I was supposed to stay away from him. My brother had warned me to keep my distance.

"Sure dude." Cody said shrugging. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and left the dance floor.

I was confused as to why he wanted to dance with me. The last time I saw him he wasn't so welcoming...

The DJ was playing a quiet song for people to slow dance. 'Blue' grinned at me and took my hand in his, placed his other hand on my waist and began slow dancing with me.

"So beautiful, what's your name?" He asked while looking me up and down. I felt disgusted by the looks he was giving me, but I wanted answers from him.

"Ivory, what's yours?" I said looking him straight in the eye.

He grinned at me. "I'm Ryder, beautiful." Now that I know his name I probably shouldn't call him 'blue' anymore.

"I have a few questions for you." I said being as straightforward as possible. He nodded.

"What does your tattoo mean?" He looked confused as to which tattoo I meant. I was looking at the cobra with a crown. He followed my gaze and instantly his mood changed.

"Why don't you ask your brother and your precious friends." He said harshly.

Damn, looks like he's on his period.

But I knew something was not right when Austin began stuttering in the car. Something is wrong and their hiding it. I have to find out.

"I have one question left. How do you know Dean?" He chuckled sarcastically at my question. "You'll find out soon."

He took my hand and brought it to his lips kissing it. "I have to go now sweetheart, I'll see you soon."

After he said those words he left me alone on the dance floor. I sighed and decided to go back to the bar where Katie was standing talking to Blake.

Once I had arrived to the bar Blake abruptly turned around and glared at me. "Why were you talking to him?" Blake asked rather harsh to me. I was confused by the tone he was using.

"What is it to you?" I asked while raising one eyebrow.

He shook his head and answered. "Just listen to me. Never talk to him again."

I scoffed and turned my back to him. He grabbed my shoulder and forcefully turned me around and hurting my shoulder in the process.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" I exclaimed mad.

"Tell me you will not speak to him again." He said gritting his teeth and clenching his jaw. He was still holding my shoulder in a hurtful grip. I could see that Katie was shocked by his actions.

I grabbed his hand and threw it off my shoulder and turned around and made my way to leave the party. I knew I was going to have a nasty bruise on my shoulder because of him.

I stopped when I heard a loud slap. I turned around and saw Katie giving Blake a slap to the face and scolding him for doing that to me.

"Don't you ever and I mean ever talk to her like that again. You are not in the position to demand that from her. If I ever see you grab her like that again I will personally kill you."

After her speech she followed me and grabbed my hand to leave the party.

I swear she is the best friend on the planet. I gave her a small smile and silently thanked her for sticking up for me.

On the way out we were stopped by Luke and James. The first thing that Luke noticed was my red shoulder. Instantly his mood changed from happy to furious.

"Who did that?" He asked angry still looking at my shoulder.

I just stared at him not knowing what to say. "Tell. Me." He gritted out.

"I-"

"Ask your dear friend." Katie spit out and dragged me outside. I quickly looked behind me and saw Luke storming off and James watching Luke and then back at me. He saw me looking and kept staring at me till I broke it off.

I returned my gaze back to Katie and saw that we had arrived to her car. She decided to drive.

After 20 minutes of pure silence we had arrived at my house.

"Are you sure you don't want me to stay over." Katie asked concerned. I nodded my head in agreement and opened the door to leave.

"If you need me just call me doesn't matter what time it is." She said sternly. Katie was a true friend and I was thankful for that.

I gave her a small smile. "Of course."

I closed the door and took my keys out to unlock the door to the house. Once I unlocked it I went  straight to my room and changed in short shorts and a tank top.

I pulled my hair in a messy bun and layed down on my bed.

I was thinking about what Blake did earlier. Whenever I thought about how he hurt me I kept having flashbacks from my 'father'.

Flashback:
"Dad please don't!" I exclaimed loudly. I saw him getting the knife from the kitchen. He took slow steps towards me.

"You are no child of mine." He said with a deadly tone to his voice. "Dad no please, I haven't done anything." I sobbed through my words.

" It's all your fault." He screamed in my face. He kicked me in the stomach. I fell down and clutched my stomach and cried screaming.

He laughed like a maniac and grabbed the knife. He slid it across my back. I was screaming in agony and he seemed to be pleased by the look on his face.

—-End flashback—-

Someone was shaking me. I gasped and cried harder. I felt the person hugging me and saying soothing words.

I looked up and saw Austin giving me a soothing smile. "I'm here." He said with a soft voice. I sobbed louder as he held me tighter.

I still had the long scar on my back. I had a lot of scars, but that was the longest one. My other scars were shorter, but still noticeable. I usually hide it with my choice of clothing.

After 30 minutes I finally calmed down. Austin sat next to me still holding my hand. "What happened tonight."

I said nothing and showed him my shoulder. I felt him squeezing my hand to control his anger. "Who did that." He tried to sound emotionless, but I heard the deadly tone behind it.

"It doesn't matter. It just triggered something from the past. That's all." I said with a shaky voice and tried to smile, but I'm pretty sure it looked nothing like it.

"If I found out who it was I will kill that person." He stated angry.

I laid my head on his shoulder and slowly kept falling asleep. I felt him tucking me in the bed and giving me a goodnight kiss on the forehead. I heard a soft 'goodnight' before the door closed.

I have the best brother ever. I'm grateful for the people around me who care and love me. I'll never forget that.

Sorry for the late update I've been very busy with everything, but I'll try to update regularly.
