For andyman103 I'm so sorry this took so long to write, I have been so busy! I hope you guys like it!

Teddy P.O.V

Y/N was a beautiful girl. I had always known and thought that. A bright, happy beautiful. I see her around school a lot, but lately, she has seemed different. She has now become a shy, reserved type of beautiful, and I couldn't figure out why. I knew that her dad was never in the picture. He ran off when he found out her mother was pregnant, but Y/N never let it affect her. Y/N also had two little brothers, but their dad cheated on her mum with a 17 year old high school drop-out. No matter what happened through all of that, Y/N had always stayed her bright self. She was strong, and I admire her for that.

Y/N P.O.V

I was making dinner for myself, my two brothers and my mum again, just like she had asked. It's not like she's going to be home for dinner anyway. She'll just be out, drinking her sorrows away, leaving us to fend for ourselves and try to make a living. Why don't we just tell the police or a friends parent that we aren't being cared for. Well, you see, what they do then is they take us away from her, take her to some facility to get help, which she desperately needs, but then they take us to an orphanage, and that is one place that we do not want to end up.

I hear the door slam open and see my mum stumble in with a bottle in her hand. I quickly shoo my brothers into their room and make sure that they are out of my mum's sight. Well, at least, she used to be my mum, now I just don't care anymore. She looks up at me and snarls.

"You! You are the cause for all my problems! I know your father didn't leave because of me, it was because he didn't want to look after a little shit like you! I bet that's what drove your brother's father away too! He had nothing better to do than a 17 year old bitch!" With that, my mum threw her beer bottle at me across the room. Thank the gods that I dodged it in time. I quickly ran around the other side of the kitchen and tried to run upstairs to my room. I had put locks on both my brothers and my door so that, if needed, we could lock ourselves in, away from my mother, but she beat me to the staircase.

"No one likes you Y/N, you're just a stupid little shit! You've never even done anything productive with your life! All you do is cry and complain and try to act all goodie two shoes by trying to keep the house clean and by doing all the cooking and laundry. Well I'm sick of it! You're just a pathetic little bitch that wants some attention." She slapped me right across the face, definitely leaving a mark and causing me to fall over. I looked up at her, tears filled my eyes.

"You're not my mother. Not anymore." And with that I ran straight out of my house and as far away as I could. I ran all the way to near the tree house that my friend Gordie showed me once. It's on a hill that overlooks Castle Rock. Once I got there I sank to my knees and sobbed. I sobbed my heart and soul out. I eventually felt gentle arms wrap around me carefully.

I saw Y/N run out of her house when I was sitting on the front deck throwing stones into the garden. She lives a few doors down and I had heard shouting and it had caught my attention, then I heard a door slam and Y/N was running towards the hill where our secret tree house was. I chased after her, wanting to know what was making her so upset. Once I got there, I saw Y/N on her knees, crying. It broke my heart to see her cry. I walked over to her and gently wrapped my arms around her shoulders, slightly startling her as she jumped in my arms.

Y/N P.O.V

"Teddy?" I asked when I saw the kind face of my long-time crush.

"Yeah it's me. Do you want to talk about what's wrong or would you rather not?" He asked me kindly, making me cry a little more from his kindness.

"I would love to tell you. But the thing is, I can't. If I do, they'll take us away." I sob into his shoulder.

"Hey hey hey hey. How about you tell me, and I don't tell anyone, unless you give me permission." Teddy suggests.

"Y-y-you p-p-p-promise?" I stutter, sounding like a complete and utter fool in front of my crush.

"I promise." I see the trust in his eyes and I nod. I tell him everything about my mum, dad, my brother's dad and her constant verbal and physical abuse. He just sits there listening to everything I tell him, making an angry looking face when I tell him about my mum hurting me.

"I can't wait until I get enough money to leave Castle Rock forever." I finish. When I say that, he looks at me in horror.

"Please don't leave me Y/N. I need you here. You don't have to stay around with your mum, but please, just don't leave me." He says, sadness filling his eyes. I smile, tears filling my eyes.

"That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. I've never really felt... wanted." I say the last part with hesitation.

"Well I want and need you (A/N: no that's not what he meant you dirty minded rascals) in my life. You're so beautiful and strong and you help me realise and see things clearly. Do you remember that time the teacher told me I was stupid for getting a D on the test and I nearly ripped his head off?" I nod silently. "You helped me calm down and realise that I shouldn't care what he thought. It was you who helped me when my dad made me feel low, now it's my turn to help you." Tears were pouring out of my eyes by this stage.

"Thank you Teddy, that means s much to me." I hugged him and gave him a soft and gentle kiss. I knew it was right. He was right. We felt right together. I love Teddy Duchamp, and I can't wait to spend more time with him.
