I wake up in my room, flashbacks from last night take over my brain. I pull my cover closer to my body as I begin to shake. My bedroom door opens and my gaze meets Sweetpea's. I calm a little. Knowing I am safe with him. 

"Princess... I'm not gunna push but can you tell me what happened last night" I shake my head and play with my dress. 

"No-not yet" I whisper and he nods giving me a sad smile. "I'm not gunna go into school today" I add.

"You sure?" He raises his eyebrows and I nod "I'll come here after school, okay?" I pout slightly.

"Or you could stayyyy..." I smile a little as he chuckles and shakes his head, he approaches my bed, sitting next to me. His hand reaches to caress my face and I lightly flinch but I see the pain flash in his eyes and knew that he noticed. I sighed as I pulled him into my embrace, nuzzling into his chest. "Have a good day" I smile sadly as he gets off the bed, giving me a final glance before leaving the room.

I drag my body out of bed and into the bathroom, running the shower.  As I take off my dress and my panties. I carefully undress my wound. Looking to see a large scab taking the place of where the cut was. I hiss a little as I climb in and let the hot water run down my skin. I scrub my skin to rid myself of any traces of Nick and last night events. Scrubbing and scarping at my skin until it is bright red and sore and then I pause, I think; Me against Nick in court. I wouldn't stand a chance. Nobody would believe anything that would come out of my mouth. I climb out of the shower and wrap myself in in a towel before wondering back into my bedroom, rummaging through my clothes. Finally settling on: A black jumper, black vinyl skirt and fishnets, before pulling on my thigh highs and serpent jacket.

I wait patiently in the booth furthest away from everyone, my eyes trained on the milkshake in front of me. I stir it, round and round. My gaze shifts to the door as the bell chimes, seeing the raven haired beauty walk in and sit across from me, my hands still subconsciously stiring the liquid. 

"How're you holding up?" She asks cautiously, I shrug.

"I-I cant press charges." I whisper more to myself then her.

"What? Why not?" She quizzes quickly, her hand reaching across the table for mine.

"Can you imagine, me standing across from him in court? I'd be a laughing stock. That would be if anyone was to believe me in the first place." I laugh dryly and shake my head. "I can't do that to myself again" I mutter

"Hunter, you can't give up. We would be with you every step of the way" I shake my head. "H, listen. You're not the only girl Nick has done this to. I know, because he tried to do it to me. My hand pulls away from hers as I cover my mouth.
