Allowing

GREAT!!

(Natsuki's p.o.v)

I slowly open my eyes. I take in my surroundings. Ugg the same messy living room. I slowly get up afraid to wake my dad up from his slumber. I wince in pain as the bruises from last night start to become heated with pain. I sneak into the bathroom and look at the mirror . I was still in my school uniform but it had a bit of blood on it. meh people could think it was juice or ketchup so it doesn't matter' i think to myself afraid to speak. Speaking being the cause of yesterday's beating . I lift up my shirt to see what damage was done to me. There was a pretty big purple bruise on my ribs and a couple red , green , and brown bruises scattered around my stomach .

*beep*
            *beep*
                       *beep*
"no. No. No!" i say as i try to run to the alarm clock trying to shut it off. "tsk tsk truely useless and stupid" a voice dreaded to hear . "im sorry papa please dont im very sorry" i beg him. I get a swift punch to the face. "get going to school . NOW!" he yelled as he pushed me out the room and down the flight of stairs. "but papa its still early " i try to reason.

                          Smack!

"no excuse now go!" he yelled kicking me in the back shutting the door in the process . I put my hand up to my face feeling the sting on my cheek. I look at my phone and switch to camara. I looked at my self through selfie mode. " oh crap! No no" i say as i walk down the sidewalk. 'That dirty no good son of a -'

         Ring!           Ring!
                   Ring!

I look at the caller ID on my phone .

            Yuri
Accept.      Decline

I hit the accept button and put the phone up to my ear. " whats wrong yuri ? Is everything alright?" i ask genuinely concerned as she doesn't call me often . " uh hi natsuki dont worrt i just wanted to check if you were alright i just saw you pass my house limping " yuri's beautiful voice filled my ear. 'WAIT did i just say beautiful ' . "hello nat ? Your just standing outside now" yuri says with concers laced in her voice "wait how did you know I was just standing there?" I say slightly raising my voice . "Nat please it's 4 in the mornings people are still sleeping. And your kinda just standing out side my door now. " Yuri says trying to calm me down "wait it's 4 in the morning " I ask Yuri  panic enveloped with every word. "Yes it's 4 in the morning maybe you could stay at my place until the time for school comes?" Yuri asks trying to secure my safety. I look to the house I'm in front of and see Yuri with her arm across he chest and her phone in the other hand clicking end call. "S-so what d-do you s-say nat?" Yuri asks as she puts her hand on her door nob. Just then a gust of wind hits me hard and with the damage done by the man I call father I could easily just get sick. I slowly walk up to her and she points with her head to the nice warm fire place.

  " just to let you know I'm not in here because I want to it's because I need to " I state looking away while peeking to see her reaction. Which is her trying to stifle a giggle. She couldn't contain the giggle any more and let it out . It was so amazing such a noise should be showed off to the world, but as soon as the laughter begun it ended . I look over to her to see if she's alright. Yuri has concern in her eyes as she reaches her hand out and gently moves my bangs out of my right eye. She gasps silently and then cups my cheek I lean into the touch. "Natsuki please tell me what's going on." She speaks in a gentle and soft voice afraid to scare me off." I-I cant say " I say looking away from her. "Nat you've come to school with 3 black eyes and 5 limps please i just want to know if you at least need some bandages or ice if that's the best help I can give you." She puts her fingers underneath my chin and tilts my head so I would look at her . "Yes I need bandages and ice would be nice. " I ask as I lean further into her touch that was her hand on my cheek.
" ok let me go get the bandages upstairs you wait in the kitchen . Ok?" She asks I just nod

*step*
          *step*
                      *step*

I listen as her foot steps fade away I get a good look at my surroundings. Nice black couches. Dark brown coffee tables and a flat screen tv. 'Sick' I look around then I start to sing:

"Tell me am I going crazy? (Uh huh)
Tell me have I lost my mind? (Yeah)
Am I just afraid of lovin'? (Uh huh)
Or am I not the lovin' kind? (Yeah)
Kissin' in the moonlight
Movies on a late night
Gettin' old
(Uh huh)
I've been there, done that
Supposed to be hot
But it's just cold
(Yeah)
Somebody wake up my heart
Light me up
Set fire to my soul, yeah (Uh huh)
'Cause' I can't do it anymore (Yeah)
Gimme that can't sleep love
(Gimme that can't sleep)
I want that can't sleep love
(Gimme that can't sleep)
The kind I dream about all day
The kind that keeps me up all night
Gimme that can't sleep love
(Yeah)"

"Your voice is very nice" a voice from behind me scared me so bad I fell on the ground and put my hands up to protect my face. " oh Gosh I'm so sorry Natsuki I didn't m-mean to." Oh it's just Yuri. 'WAIT YURI JUST HEARD ME SING AND SAW ME PUT UP MY HANDS UP IN THE WAY I WOULD DO IF IT WAS MY DAD DAM!' (ᑭEᖇᑕY ᒍᗩᑕKᔕOᑎ ᖇEᖴEᖇEᑎᑕ ᗩᑎYOᑎE)  yuri picks me up and takes me to the kitchen bridal style . She goes to the fridge and brings out an ice pack places it on my right eye. " sorry about scaring you. U-um where else does it hurt?" she says as she starts tuging on her sleeve.
