Emily's pov
"Are you okay?" Connor asks me.
"Fine." I say then walk over to Asher. I sit down next to him and grab a towel.
"I'm fine." Asher says as I try and wipe the blood off of his face.
"Hey." Raven says and sits down next to me. "That was insane."
"Yeah." I laugh lightly then turn to face her."I think we're going to leave soon."
"I'll get my things." She says then walks towards her chair.

"I can't believe we start school tomorrow." Raven says as we reach our room.
"Me either." I laugh then unlock the door. I help Asher to my bed then grab a pair of sweats and a sweatshirt.
Raven's pov
"Goodnight." I say as Emily comes out of the bathroom.
"Night." Emily says as she walks over to Asher with a wet washcloth.
"Jesus." Asher says angrily. "I told you earlier I was fine."
"I'm just trying to help." Emily says then walks back into the bathroom.
"I just need some rest." Asher says as Emily walks back into the room.
"I'm going to take a walk." She says then walks toward the door.
"Emily." Asher says as she walks out and closes the door. "Shit."
"So you'd rather have dried blood on your face than let her clean it off?" I question.
"It's not about that." He says then walks to the bathroom. He walks back out within a couple seconds with the washcloth. "I had a father that liked to treat me a lot worse than you're seeing now. My mom was never around to help. I guess I just don't want to start relying on Em to clean me up every time I get a punch thrown at me."
"I get part of that. I had a boyfriend who liked to treat me like shit. But I wish I would have had someone like Emily there to help clean me up." I say then sit up in my bed. "Is your dad still around?"
"Yeah, he's a teacher here." He says. "He teaches the family studies class."
"Must suck to see him everyday." I say.
"That Dylan guy is your ex right? So he's still around?" He asks.
"He tries to be. But I'm officially done letting him." I say proudly. "It feels really good."
"Well, I hope you never have to meet my father." He says then laughs lightly.
"I think family studies was one of my required classes." I say disappointedly.
"Good luck." He says then lays down in Emily's bed. "It's late, I'm already showing up bruised, better not show up tired as well."
"Good idea." I say then lay back down in my bed.
