* 3 months later *
Berkley Pov.
Well to start things of I have been living with the Conners for about 3 months. Grades and attitude still subpar but I guess better than when I was in Oregon. Other than that nothing major has happened except I have fallen for Harmony.
Not sure how it happened. I just started getting to know her and noticing little things that draws me in.
One thing I noticed is that Harmony been having bruises on her body and keeps lying to me about them when I ask. Someone is doing this to her but I have no idea who.
Anyway there is this new girl, Blair Goldsmith who has been saying things about Harmony and I want to punch her in the face. Making rumors and picking on her like she is not a human being.
Right now I'm in my room standing in front of the closet looking for something to wear for school and it's already 7: 55 a.m. Shut the fuck up, I woke up 30 minutes ago.
" why can't I find anything to wear?" I said to myself.
I continued to look around for about 10 minutes before I found the perfect outfit. A black and white short sleeve shirt, black shorts, black thigh socks and white doc martens.
" HARMONY CAN YOU COME HERE REAL QUICK?" I yell.
After I yell I hear quick foot steps coming up the stairs.
" y-yes?" She asked out of breath.
" how do I look?" I asked.
" like a badass." She said shyly and smiled.
That made me smile, she is so cute when she smiles.
" thanks." I said.
What Harmony had on, made her look cute. It was a light gray knee length dress, white high tops, and a plaid shirt around her waist.
" you looked cute too." I said.
She blushed.
" come on, let's go to school." I said.
We walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, where we saw Erin.
" h-hi Erin have y-you seen s-sir?" Harmony asked.
" oh he had to go to work early this morning." She answered.
After Harmony heard that she practically ran out the door. As I grabbed a banana I heard Erin started to speak.
" have a good day at school." She said softly.
When I got outside I saw Harmony looking up at the clouds. I had wanted to take the bus but we walked instead.
It look us 25 minutes to get to school so we already missed and second period.
When we entered the school we went our separate ways. I went to pre-calculus while Harmony went to creative writing. The only bad thing was Blair was in my pre-calculus class and she sits right next to me.
" hello dumbass did you do your homework, oh I forget you get that nerd to do it." Blair said.
I rolled my eyes.
" oh, did you see my latest post on ig." She added.
When I shook my head she handed me her phone. When I saw her post I thought I was going to throw up. It was a 3 second video of Harold beating Harmony inside her living room 2 months and a week ago.
" haha oh my god you didn't know." She said.
I told my teacher I was going to the bathroom, I needed to process this. Harmony was being abused by her father.
