*Haeyoung's P.O.V*

"HAEYOUNG!!" I shot up from my bed as I heard my name being screamed "Y-Yes!" I partially responded "GET UP AND MAKE ME FOOD!!" I slowly looked at the alarm clock that sat on my dresser "Imma be late if I do" I sighed as I quickly got up

"I have to get to school" I said lowly "What?! I don't care about your damn education, I'm hungry!" I flinched as my dad raised up his hand "D-Dad" I quickly hugged him "Please..." I breathed against his chest "W-What are y-you..." His voice shook as his heart skipped a few beats "I need an education" I cried silently "Get off!" He harshly shoved me on the floor "You don't even care about this family! That's why your brother ran away and your mother killed herself! Because of you! If you weren't here the family would've still been together!" I held onto my knees as I felt my eyes turn red and my body shake "Get the hell out of my house!!" I didn't budge "Now!" I began to scream as I was being dragged by my hair

*Jaehyun's P.O.V*

As I walked to school I decided to take a different route, the one I usually go on is too long "I like this street better, it's nice and quiet" I nuzzled my chin into my jacket as I turned into a neighborhood  "It's so quie-" I stopped in my tracks as I stared at the scene across the street "Dad! Please!" I quickly pulled my hands out my jacket as I realized the girl screaming was wearing our school uniform "Shit!" Without caring whether cars we're coming I quickly  I ran across the street, causing traffic "Hey!" I began to yell at the man that was abusing the girl "Stop!" I yelled as I reached the man "Move!!" pulling the man off the girl I threw my fist, hitting the man directly in the face "No! Stop!" Just as I was about to hit him again my arm was being held back "Huh?" I quickly turned to face the girl "Haeyoung?!" Realizing who it was my heart dropped, Her face was all bruised "Are you ok-" I choked as I was being grabbed by the neck "Dad! Let him go!" My eyes watered as I struggled to breathe "Please" The grip around my neck began to loosen "Le-et g-" I smacked the man's hand "Dad..." Lowly the girl spoke as I was let go, I fell on the floor as I held onto my neck "Dad!" My vision became blurry as I saw the man running away...

*Haeyoung's P.O.V*

"Jaehyun!" I continued to shake the boy as he didn't wake up "Jaehyun!" I began to cry "I-I need to get him I-Inside" I slowly began to grab his arms, linking his arms around my neck. As I dragged him inside I felt his heartbeat against my back "Thank god..." I breathed as I set him on the couch, as soon as I let his body fall I ran to the kitchen and got some warm water and ointment "Please God, Don't let anything happen to him" I wiped my tears as I ran over to the boy "Jaehyun" I whispered as I sat by his head "You need to drink this" I slowly picked up his head and placed it on my lap "Please wake up" I caressed his head as the bruises fit his face perfectly, The silence was interrupted by my phone ringing, I slowly looked around when I noticed it on the floor "Hold up" I slowly bent over and grabbed it. Sliding the accept button I placed the phone my ear "Hello?" I set down the cup of water and ointment I was holding "HAEYOUNG WHERE ARE YOU?!" I yanked the device away from my ear "Shhh" I slowly put it back "I had a bit of a situation, I'll be at school tomorrow" I sighed as I hung up the phone, putting it back down I looked at the boy sprawled across my lap "What am I gonna do with you?" I hesitantly moved some hair away from his eyes "Even when you have bruises you're still so handsome" I smiled as I realized the situation I was in "I just wish you would notice me..." I breathed as I set my head back, closing my eyes I let sleep take over my tired figure

*Jaehyun's P.O.V*

"Mmm" I grunted as I slowly sat up "Where am I?" I gripped my neck as soon as pain spiraled through my body "Ahhh, That's right" I sat up fully, feeling movement next to me I looked over "Haeyoung?" I whispered as I stood up, What happened for her dad to do that? I walked to her and slowly fixed her body, laying her down strait I grabbed a blanket and pillow from the chair next to the couch "Here" I bit my lip as I picked up her head placing the pillow under then placing the blanket across her "Goodness her face" I slowly brushed her bangs to the sides, looking around I found a white tube on the stand "What's this" I grabbed it and began to read it "Medical Ointment" Without hesitation I unscrewed the lid and squeezed some on my finger "Don't move" I held onto her chin to prevent her from flinching. Slowly I began rubbing the cream against her skin. Once I was done I searched her body for any more "Nothing..." I looked at her knees, ankles, stomach then her hands "Nothing seems to be-" I went quiet as I began rolling up her sleeves "God..." I covered my mouth as I stared at her flawful skin, Cuts deeper than ever, Some red some going up and down, side to side "What happened" I quickly grabbed her other wrist noticing the same thing "Jesus" My heart slowed down... 

*Haeyoung's P.O.V*

"Mmm" I groaned as I rose up from the sofa "What happened" Removing the blanket I hissed "Ahh" I quickly looked down at my wrist "What the-" I pulled my arms closer to my face "Did Jaehyun..." I slowly slid my fingers across the Band-Aids all over my wrists "Why would he-" I quickly ran to the restroom, "Did he..." As I reached the mirror I looked at my face, noticing all the shiny spots covering the cuts "Put ointment on my face" I slowly began walking back to the couch "What else did he do?" I began looking around, I stopped once I spotted a piece of paper on the stand...

~I'm so sorry for what happened today... I let the teacher know that you couldn't come to school because of personal problems, I left extra Band-Aid's just in case. If you need anything Here's my number....I hope you get better, and please contact me when you wake up

-Jung Jaehyun ~

"Jaehyun..." I breathed as sat down on the couch "Where's my phone?" I quickly looked for it "Here" I finally found it "Should I?" I questioned myself as I walked to my room "He said to...But what if he thinks I'm a push over" I placed the note on my dresser and turned on my phone

"Hello?"

"Is this Haeyoung?" 

I stayed quiet as his voice sung through the phone

"Hello?"

Snapping into reality I finally spoke "H-Hello? Jaehyun?" 

"Haeyoung! Thank god it's you!" 

I couldn't help but smile 

"Are you okay? Do you need anything? How are you fee-" 

"Jaehyun" I cut him off "I'm fine, Thank you..." I sighed "For everything" My voice cracked 

"No It's fine, If you can't come to school I'll let the teacher know. I got your back" 

I heard a cough through the phone

"Jaehyun?" I began "Are you okay? How's you're throat?" I held the phone close to my ear

"It's getting better thanks, but don't worry about me. Just focus on your self" He said lowly

I sniffled some,

"I won't ask any other questions but just answer this one for me, Okay" He breathed as I hummed signaling him to ask "Do you take any medicine?"

I slowly pulled the phone from my ear, If I tell him. Will he make fun of me? What if he tells people? I'll get bullied, I-I don't want that.

"Hello?" His voice was to be heard 

"Jaehyun?" I placed the phone back up "I'll talk to you later, I- Uh need to shower" Before hearing his response I hung up the phone

Stepping back into my room I let my towel drop as I began to change "Mom" I sighed as I sat on my bed, reaching for my pill bottle, I poured some on my hand and into my mouth "How much longer do I have to fight this fight?" I began to sob as I swallowed the pills in my mouth "I'm just so tired" I placed the bottle back down as I looked down at my wrist "If I do it again, Will I feel better?" I tilted my head as I began to pick at the band-aid's on my wrist "Will I?" I slowly began to smile as the tears I shed continued to fall on the badages, dampening them "It'll only hurt a little" I slowly pulled open the cabinet in my dresser "I'll finally feel better" I pulled out the blade that sat onto my books "It's okay Haeyoung, No one cares. At least not anyone alive" With that I began tearing the bandages off my open skin, "It'll all be okay" Once all the bandages we're on the floor I brought the blade to my skin, looking over at the picture "I love you..."
