Chapter 15

~One week later~

Hazels POV

Dad had only been home one night last week, I was glad of it. Tuesday night he came home really late, things had gotten really bad.

Jack had tried desperately to stop him attacking me but he pushed him aside giving out to him.

He never hit Jack, we're not sure why.

My face was bloody and my body bruised.

I didn't look too bad so when we told people I had fallen down the stairs they believed us.

Jack Gilinsky was furious when he saw me the next day after school.

I was embarrassed that he made such a big deal of it, I couldn't imagine telling anybody else.

He told me that he was sorry he wasn't there to help Jack.

My night terrors were not as frequent but I was afraid to fall asleep, scared to see him in my dreams.

They promised me they would sort things out.

I was used to empty promises, but so grateful about how much they cared.

I spent a whole lot of time with Hayes.

We would watch movies in his with Skylnn and Elizabeth or go surfing together.

I didn't see him at all really in school, even though I wanted to.

It was kinda weird.

He insisted that I stayed with my friends, I was worried he hadn't made any friends of his own but he told me that there were a bunch of guys that he played soccer with at break.

It was fine with me once he was happy?

Nash and the guys were convinced we liked each other.

But we were genuinely good friends, I had made it really clear from the start.

Could a girl and a boy not just be best friends?

"Stop it!"

"Stop!"

Matt and Carter were splashing me and Shawn with the cold water.

I wasn't quite ready to dive into the water without a wetsuit. I wore a t-shirt though, because of my bruises.

I stood there shivering.

Shawn was having none of it.

"Carter STAAAP!"

Everyone automatically joined in yelling at Carter.

I was attacked from behind

-Taylor and Hayes each taking one of my legs and throwing me into the water.

I resurfaced laughing, wrestling Taylor.

Nash and Cameron were observing us on a bright pink lilo we had found lying on the beach.

They had to hug each other tightly so that they could both stay on without falling.

Such idiots.

I had been seeing less of my friends recently, I had almost forgotten about them.

The girls had begged me to go dress shopping with them this morning.

The all needed something new to wear for a party that weekend, I didn't get anything.

I probably wouldn't be going.

I had asked Hayes what he thought about it and he shuddered at the idea.

"Icecream will do fine!"

I smiled it made me remember the night we first talked properly, it felt like so long ago when I had met the mysterious boy with blue eyes standing at my locker.

Hayes POV

That week hadn't been too bad, I was getting used to things.

I had been avoiding Hazel at school, the last thing she needed was having me following her around.

I stuck to myself, people weren't interested in me and I understood why.

Dylan and his friends didn't see me much. There wasn't a lot they could do to hurt me in school.

We all went to the beach on Sunday again.

The beach was my favourite place ever, it had the best waves.

Hazel loved it there just as much as I did.

Everyday I looked forward to seeing Hazel and spending time with her.

Sometimes I felt stupid always calling over to her and ringing, but she made me happy.

And I really needed to be happy.

It felt like ages since I first met her.
