Could Dominic be right? Do I have a chance with this 'Caspar'?

Like he'd ever fancy me though, who has? NO ONE because I'm ugly, and worthless.

Archie left me, my mum left me, and my dad won't leave me, nothing has gone well in my life Since I was a few weeks old, and my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, that's when my dad got into drinking, he would leave me to go to the pub, and if people asked he would always say he was going to visit mum in hospital.

As far as I know he never did...

"Come on, it's break next!" Dom tried motivating me to run, but all I could think of was my mum and Archie, how people I thought cared for me left.

"Sorry Dom, I'm not feeling too good, you carry on, I'm gonna sit out for a while" I lie, Dominic obviously isn't buying it but he says it's okay anyway.

I walk over to the bench in the corner of the field and watch as the rest of my class ran around.

"I wonder if you actually do high jump?" I asked myself sarcastically,

"You don't" a voice said which made me jump, I fell off the bench and landed on one of my bruises, causing me to wince in pain.

I look up and Caspar is looking at me strangely,

"Why did you just wince? You fell of a bench" he said, I looked up into his eyes,

"Uhh" I moaned, I'm not telling him about bruises, I hardly know him.

"Hey casp, who ya talking too?" One of the boys yelled, the boy strutted over and looked down at me,

"Dude, whys she on the floor?" The boy asked,

Caspar looked down at me and smiled, but it wasn't a friendly smile, it was one like my dad gives me before I get a punch,

"I guess she's just being an easy target for us" Caspar smiled, he grabbed my arm and dug his not existing nails into my arm, he got right into were I harmed myself and I let out a scream,

"Please, your hurting me" I begged, that's the last time I fall for a boy I hardly know.

"GET OF HER!" I hear Dominic shout, he runs over and punches Caspar in the face, making blood spill from his nose,

This looks all to familiar, but I'm normally in Caspar's shoes, and Dominic is my Dad,

"DOMINIC STOP!" I cry desperately, I feel a panic attack coming on.

I start heavily breathing and gasping for air, my heart starts racing, and I fall to my knees,

"Dom please..." I manage to spill out,

"Dom! Help Skye!!" I hear Tom shout,

I feel someone's presence fall to the floor next to me, but my vision is to blurry to see who.

"Skye, can you hear me?" I hear Dom's voice, I nod slowly, still breathing heavily,

"Okay, your having a panic attack, do you know what caused it?" Dom asked calmly,

"The- way-your-attacking-Caspar" I stutter,

"Skye, he was hurting you, I can't let him do that to you" Dom explains, rubbing my back with his hand. I couldn't tell him anymore, I promised myself that id make sure to never loose a friend because of my Dad, saying goodbye is something I can't do.

Everything goes black...

I wake up in a bed, I don't recognise this to be a hospital though, there's a single bed with about 12 plastic chairs circling it, I look to my right and there's Dom, asleep next to me on the bed, he's fully clothed and so am I which is a relief,
