I have been staying at the Bowers home for a few months now. The chief of police had found me half dead at the town line while on his way to work, I was in the hospital for a month and a half. I had nowhere to go I had no family no friends... Nothing. So when the hospital finally told the chief I could no longer stay there he had to find somewhere for me to go, he said he would have let me come home with him but couldn't because his wife would never allow it. He's a liar and a bad one at that, I know he wouldn't ever take me even if his wife allowed it or not. He and most everyone else thought I was disgusting, with my fresh pink scars littering my body. I was quiet I kept to myself save for when I had nightmares, but the real reason no one wanted me around was because my scars made me disgusting; not like I asked to be beaten and tortured then thrown in that ditch. So after a few handful of people said they couldn't (wouldn't) look after me the chief finally got fed up and dropped me on officer Oscar "Butch" Bowers. He tried to fight it like everyone else, but when the chief threatened him with his job he shut up and took me home with him. That night I met his son Henry a sixteen year old teen, who couldn't look his father in the face but wouldn't stop staring at me. After two weeks Henry started taking a liking to me even though I'm three years older than him, and after a few one on one hang outs he introduced me to his friends. Which consisted of Reginald "Belch" Huggins, Victor "Vic" Criss, and Patrick Hockstetter. All of which would stare at me uneasily until getting over their shock of my scars, after that they were all rather sweet to me; although the others thought it was strange how sweet Patrick was with me. Well that was until he went missing... I didn't know him for vary long but the knowledge of his disappearance saddened me greatly, it of course hurt Henry more; and he would often come to me for comfort. 

Today however had been a bad day and I knew to give Henry his space he needed and let him come to me. The first gunshot shocked me while I sat reading in my room, upon peering out of the window I found Henry shooting his fathers pistol at a few bottles; but became nervous when I caught sight of his father coming down the long driveway. I took off for the front door when I realized Henry didn't notice his father coming home, but I was to late. As soon as I reached the front door and opened it his father had reached him, I stood silent at the screen door watching. I even sighed audibly when he simply turned away from Henry, but quickly ran out onto the porch when he turned back and fired three shots at Henry's feet.  

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" I screamed jumping off the porch and jogging to stand between Butch and Henry

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" I screamed jumping off the porch and jogging to stand between Butch and Henry. "Teaching my son a lesson, go back inside." Butch barked making me growl in anger glaring at the "man" before me. "I'm not your fucking daughter so don't tell me what to do firstly, and secondly you NEVER aim your gun ANYWHERE near a innocent civilian. So unless you want me to report this little lesson to your boss I suggest you fuck right off." He was pissed that was obvious, but I don't give a damn because I am livid. "Girl." He growled out as a warning. "What will you do Butch?" I hummed taking a step closer towards him. "I'm not afraid of you, you're a coward and a pathetic excuse of a man let alone human being." His face was red with anger, while Adrenalin ran through my entire body. "There is nothing you could do to me that someone else hasn't already, so if you wanna try and hurt me go ahead I dare you. I'll have you on your ass with a broken jaw before you even know what hit you." I growled again clenching my fists, and to my surprise he was smart enough to walk away; I simply watched as he walked inside before confronting the guys. "Henry--" I froze upon turning to my dear friend.

"Belch Vic go home." I spoke softly looking to the two boys, who nodded then quickly left. "Come here." I mumbled pulling Henry into my chest. The second I touched him he latched onto me in a bone crushing hug, but I didn't care I simply held him tighter allowing him to sob quietly into my chest. "Come on Henry lets go for a sort walk." I mumbled pecking his forehead, he gave a few small nods and allowed me to walk him along. 

When we got to one of the many streams running through Derry, Henry fell to his knees and pulled me down with him. Acting on impulse I layed down and tugged Henry down with me allowing him to lay himself on-top of me, where he cried harder. "Shh.. It's okay.. I'm here.. I've got you." I cooed kissing the top of his head while one hand rubbed his back, and the other held the back of his head; my thumb softly petting his hair. "I've got you baby." I whispered subconsciously, only realizing I said it when Henry froze. Sitting up a little he looked down at me with puffy blood shot eyes looking confused and slightly angry. "I wasn't calling you a baby hun I just-" I was cut off when he lunged forward and kissed me, it was a harsh heated kiss yet still passionate. He broke the kiss looking down at me with scared eyes while we both lay there panting. I smiled tugging him back down to me for another passionate kiss, moaning into his mouth while raking my fingers into his hair. "You're not mad?" He asked a moment after we pulled away. "I could never be mad at you Henry." I smiled warmly up at him truly happy to see the fear wash away, and a smile to bloom upon his tear stained face. Happily he nuzzled down into my neck seeming to forget what happened merely an hour ago.  "Will you be my girl?" He whispered so softly I wouldn't have heard it if he wasn't next to my ear. "I am three years older than you hun, and these scars take away all the beauty I once had." I mumbled back playing with his hair. "I don't care that you're older, and I think you're stunning. Please say you'll be mine?" He quietly spoke hugging me a little tighter. "Of course I'll be yours, so long as you are mine." I cooed kissing his temple. "Forever." He mumbled breathlessly melting at my gentle touch.
