"Abuse" 1

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Mitch's mansion.

"Hey, dood! he said. I smiled a fake smile.

"Hi." I pulled the sleeve of my sweater further down my arm. Mitch stepped aside and I passed him carefully. "is Adam coming?"

"I dunno." Mitch shut the door. "he said he would." I braced myself as Mitch opened the door to the ballroom. Music began blasting into my eardrums as he and I stepped in. I glanced over my shoulder and Mitch was already gone. To my left were people dancing and to my right was...

Kegs of beer. Damn.

I noticed Jerome to my left dancing and he looked to be dunk. Just then, he spotted me and he staggered over to me. I'm screwed.

"Hey, Ty." He slurred. "Glad you could make it."

"Y-yeah." I stuttered. I turned to go sit down and he grabbed my arm where my cuts were. I let out a faint yelp.

"Come with me now." He hissed as well as he could. Jerome practically dragged me into the bathroom. I was tossed in the floor. Jerome took off my sweater and I made no attempt to stop him. He kicked my bare ribs repeatedly and left.

I lay on the floor of the bathroom with a broken rib. My cuts were freshly opened and there was a steady stream of blood coming out of them. I decided I wouldn't cut my wrists anymore. Someone could easily find out.
