Chapter 3

                         *Later that day*
Ambers POV
I can't believe what Hayes just did. Why would he do that. He is gonna get me hit even more for telling that they hit me. Great. This is just beautiful. Even worse he is gonna get hit as well.

"Hayes why did you do that?"
"Because, you don't deserve it and I can't let someone as beautiful and kind as you take that shit." Hayes said with a wink.
"How's your hand? Does it need ice?"
"No Amber I'm fine haha. It's just a little banged up."
We go quite until we reach my house. I realize that my father is home early.
"Oh shit" I mumble under my breath
"What's wrong?" He asked. I guess he heard me.
"You should leave Hayes. You don't want to be here right now okay." I say with fear and tears streaming down my face.
"Hey it's okay I'm gonna stick with you okay. Your home now. It's safe here." He sends me a smile. But it's not safe I get abused here more than I do at school.
"Please Hayes, just go you can't come in okay"
"Amber it's fine let's go."  Hayes says opening up the door for me. This is not gonna go well. I can already tell.

John's POV (her father)
"Ha. Look what we have here. This little slut brought home her fuck buddy. At least one of them. Who knows how many you have haha"
"Dad this is Hayes. *Amber says quietly* an he isn't my fuck buddy."
"What was that you little bitch" I say growing louder and angry.
"N-nothing" Amber says.
*Slaps her across the face*
"Get up to your room you piece of shit!"

Hayes POV
What the fuck! Her own father hit her. She gets abused at home too... this isn't right, she can't live like this anymore.
"Hey! Don't hit her again!" I yell at John.
"What the fuck you gonna do about it?" He states.
"Just don't touch her again." As I say that I see Amber run up to her room.
"She's a huge slut she deserves every hit she gets. She's a nobody haha. Hell we didn't even want her and we still don't! Haha"
"Get fucked" I scoff running up to Ambers room.

Ambers POV
I can't believe Hayes saw that. Great. I can hear them yelling from in my bathroom. I can't take this shit anymore. I see my razors on the counter from last night. Why not. It's not like anyone cares.
"Once for Ethan"
"Twice for Grayson"
"Third for my father and mother."
"Fourth for the hell of it." As I take the last cut Hayes runs in. He has tears in his eyes.
"Amber stop!" He yells as I do the fifth.
"Hayes..."
"Amber don't do that. You can't hurt yourself!" Hayes screams while crying.
"It doesn't matter! I am a fucking nobody. A fat piece of shit! Don't you get it! Nobody fucking wants me here. So just let me die...*sobs*" I choke out crying the hardest I ever have.

Hayes POV
After walking in on her cutting her wrist. I couldn't believe it.
"It doesn't matter! I am a fucking nobody. A fat piece of shit! Don't you get it! Nobody fucking wants me here. So just let me die..." She says.
I can't believe what she just said. She goes to cut again but I run and take the razor away.
"No Amber! You can't keep cutting. You are so much more than a nobody and a piece of shit. Your not fat either. You are so perfect in my eyes Amber... You have no idea. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Even though we just met today, I want to protect you forever. I want to make you feel safe. Make you happy again." I say to her. She looks at me with tears in her eyes.

Ambers POV
After he said that I just broke down. After i cry more Hayes comes and wraps his arms around me and hugs me.
"Hayes I-"
"Shhh. Don't say anything okay. Just try to calm down." He says rubbing my back.
"Hayes?"
"Yes beautiful?"
"Can we go lay down. I'm tired." I say
"Of course just let me do something first." He says cleaning up the blood on my arms . He goes gentle over my cuts.  After he's done he kisses my cheek and hugs me again.
" Okay now, let's get you to bed." He says picking me up and carrying me to my bed.
" Hayes. Can you come lay down with me?"
"Of course I will princess."
"Thank you." I say scooting over to make room for him.
"Hayes. I'm so sorry that you had to see all of that with my father." I say not looking at him.
"Hey, look at me." He lifts my chin up with his finger. "It's okay don't be sorry." He says hugging me. I soon drift off to sleep.

Hayes POV
Once Amber falls asleep I check her wrists. I looked at them in awe. I can't believe she does this to herself. I see some scarred and some new from today and some that must have been from last night or this morning.
I whisper softly "Amber you mean so much to me. I won't let you get hurt anymore. I won't let you hurt yourself anymore. I love you." I then kiss her scars. I watch her sleep for a second she is so amazing. I will make her mine soon. She deserves everything in this world.  She begins to wake up.
"Hayes? "
"Yes Amber?"
"You should probably leave. You don't have to stay here."
"I want to stay here, but I do have to leave"
"Do you need a ride?"
"No I live 2 houses down from you. Goodnight beautiful."  I then kiss her on her forehead and climb out of her window and off her balcony onto a tree. I love her so much. I hope she knows that.

Grayson POV
I see Hayes climb out of a tree walking to his house. This is my shot. I have to go now. So I start to climb out my window and jump down onto the ground. I then run to her house and climb up the tree and jump to her balcony thing. I then knock. Shit. Here goes nothing.

Ambers POV
I hear a knock on my window. It's probably just Hayes realizing he forgot something. I get up and I see a tall black figure, but it's not Hayes's. It looks more like... oh no. Not Grayson. I get to the doors and I am shaking with fear.

"Hey, umm Amber can I come in?" He says with a smile.
"Uhh s-sure."
"So I guess your wondering why I'm here at 2 in the morning."
"P-please don't hit me Grayson."
"No Amber I won't. I promise you."
I try to hide my cuts realizing that I don't have a long sleeve on. But he noticed me hiding my arm.
"Amber. What's on your arms?" He asks getting closer to me.
"Grayson please don't hit me!" I say covering up my face.
"I'm not gonna hurt you Amber. Now let me see your arms." I stare at him, scared of what he would do if he found out I cut. He reaches for my arm but I pull it back out of instinct.
"Are... you scared of me?"
"Well what do you think!! You beat me everyday! You took away everything I had. My happiness my pride my self dignity! Everything!" I say crying. "Please don't hit me I didn't mean to yell at you..."  He looks shocked and then takes my arm carefully and turns it over.
"Amber why are you doing this?"
"Because of you and your brother! You put me through so much shit this is the only way I can deal with it."

Grayson's POV
I grab her and bring her close to me in a hug. Not wanting to let her go. I can't believe she cuts. I am a fucking monster. Hearing her cry into my chest, it kills me.
"Shhh, Amber it's gonna be okay." A tear slips from my eyes." I am so sorry." She cries harder.
"Grays-" she gets cut off by a man walking in the room. Shit it's her dad.
"Look you brought another fuck buddy you big slut." He says and pushes her to the ground.
"Hey! Get off of her!" I yell.
"Oh fuck off. She's my kid. I don't want her to be but she is." He yells back.
" You are a piece of shit you know that Amber. Nobody fucking likes you. You are the biggest slut I have ever met!" He says kicking her in her stomach. He leaves the room and goes to his. She begins to puke up blood and has a black eye.
"Amber! Are you okay? Let me see your face!"
"Grayson I'm fine I get that every single day along with your guys. It's nothing new."
"I'm gonna do something but don't freak out okay." I begin to lift up her shirt a little.
" Oh my god. Amber that looks really bad. You need help."
"N-no I'm f-fine."
"No your not. I didn't know you got abused at home. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because you never care about me or what happens. Like you said. Nobody fucking likes me!" She begins to cry I hold her to my chest until she calms down. She tried to walk to her bed but could because of the pain.
"Here let me help you." I picked her up and laid her down carefully on her bed. She fell asleep within seconds. I whisper
"I am so sorry Amber. I love you so much. I always have ever sense we were in 6th grade when you moved here." I kissed her cheek and left. We can't hit her anymore. I won't let Ethan  hurt her anymore.
