Mark was my best friend, sure I had plenty of friends, but nobody could compare to him. He was so funny and sweet and even his family loved me. I would stay over at their place sometimes and I was probably the most happy there. Mark could tell something was wrong with me by one look. And this morning was no different. I'm sure he already thought something was up, but choice to not bring it up. But today was different...We were laughing and joking around in front of the school waiting on classes to start. He was tickling me and laughing, but he stopped and froze. I looked over at him and his face dropped as he lifted my shirt up a little. I gasped and pulled it down quickly.
"Wait Y/N what happened?...that...that's a handprint!" Mark yelled while pulling me into a hug.
"Mark you can't tell anyone....it would be so bad...."
Mark was crying, "They can't do this to you!"
"Markie it's ok...it's not bad he isn't always home..."
He shook his head furiously and held me closer, "Let me save you....You can live with me!"
"Mark shhh you're being too loud..."
"Please..."
I shook my head and looked down, "Please just don't....let's forget it and be happy? I'm fine"
He looked like he wanted to protest, but he sighed and nodded as the bell rang for class.
Mark had finally found out about what goes on in my home. To say I was terrified was an understatement. But he promised not to tell anyone, and he is still my friend. We were both sitting in math class goofing around when the Principle walked into the room along with my father. I froze and moved closer to Mark. I could feel him tense up next to me.
"Y/N L/N, please follow me to the office." The principle announced, and the class was filled with 'ooohhsss'.
I stood up, but Mark grabbed my hand and I looked back at him smiling, "it's ok." I whispered and he let go sadly.
Once I got to the office we sat down and he looked at me sternly and said, "Y/N a student overheard a conversation you had with Mr. Tuan earlier this morning."
I played dumb, "What do you mean? This morning we were talking about a scary movie I saw on tv?"
"Oh is that so?"
"Yes sir, why?" I asked looking over at my father who seemed calm, scary calm.
"Well I just had to check with you and I would like to ask if I could see your arms and legs."
My father stood up and slammed his hands on the table, "What kind of perverted principle asks to see a little girls legs and arms?!"
"Sir calm down, I just have the check and make sure she isn't hurt."
"You honestly think I'd touch my little girl!?"
Yes...yes you would...I thought, but said, "Honestly sir...My father would never hurt me.."
"I have an image to uphold for my company, I could end this little job of yours. So I'd appreciate it it you'd never accuse me of such things again!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me up, "I'll be taking my daughter out of school for the day." With that being said he dragged me out of the school and into the car.
The car ride home was eery silent, and I was sweating from being so nervous. I've never seen him so mad yet so calm at the same time.
"Am I in trouble?..."
"Shut up, we're almost home!"
I shrunk back into the seat and whimpered, he was about to say something when his phone rang. He picked it up, "Yes this is he?"
"What the fuck do you mean?!?!?" He yelled and I flinched looking over at him.
"I'm not having any of this shit! That is my company I will talk to you tomorrow!" He yelled and threw his phone out the window. He literally just threw his phone out the window. I stared at him with my mouth hanging open in shock. He glanced over at me and if looks could kill I'd be dead. His grip on the steering wheel got tighter as he speed up. I hugged my bag close to my chest, hoping nothing was going to happen. When he finally pulled into the driveway and parked the car he yanked me out and dragged me into the house.
"W-w-where is m-m-mom..." I stuttered as he slung me into the wall.
"She won't be home for awhile. But you won't see her!" He yelled as he punched me in the face.
I fell onto the floor clutching me face crying. He has never been this rough and he's never hit me in the face. I groaned as he grabbed my shirt collar and slammed me into the wall.
"First I have to leave work!" I received a punch to my stomach making me gasp loudly, "Then I almost get caught because you couldn't keep your little mouth shut!" Another hit to my face, my vision was slowly becoming blurry, "Stay the fuck awake! Then my company calls me, because they find out! Said I can't run it!" Too many hits to count and as I finally lost consciousness the last thing I heard was, "I'll kill you then that little punk!"
....Mark?....why Mark....

Thunder sounded around me and my eyes fluttered open slowly. My whole body hurt and I could taste blood. Thunder echoed through the house as I looked towards the window. It's darker outside, and raining extremely hard. How long was I even out?
"You can't do this!" I heard my mother yell from upstairs.
I groaned and slowly slid my body up against the wall.
"I can do whatever I want!" He yelled and then I heard something heavy fall against the wall.
No way did he hit mommy?! I tried really hard to stand up, but I fell down bringing the side table with me. I cried out loudly when the table hit my leg and I closed my eyes shoving it off. I heard someone coming downstairs and I kept my eyes close. Please go away...please go away...
The steps stopped in front of me and I could feel the shadow above me. I slowly looked up and lightening flashed showing his grin. I shuttered at the sight, he looked absolutely crazy.
"It's your fault...It should have been you. My son shouldn't have been taken...."
I whimpered and moved closer to the wall, but then he did something I never expected. He had a gun pointed at my head when I looked back up at him. My heart dropped and I could barely breath.
"You are unwanted!!! You aren't loved! Everyone hates you! Why are you even here? I'm not letting you fuck anyone else's life up!" He yelled and he pulled the trigger.
I shut my eyes tight, but all I felt were two arms around me. I opened my eyes slowly to see my mothers face.
"It's ok....I c-c-called...the police!" she screamed as she stood up slowly, he missed and shot her arm.
He grabbed her and threw her to the floor causing her to scream.
"No no mommy...." I cried
"Leave my baby alone! I've let this go on long enough!" She yelled and then he....he shot her.
I screamed and tried to get to her, but he slammed me to the wall. I could hear someone banging on the door....then I heard his voice...Mark?....sirens could be heard in the distance.
"You'll join her don't worry." He whispered and then he pulled the trigger.
I couldn't scream, I couldn't move, I fell to the floor clutching my chest. My body was burning and my eyes were closing as I saw a blur run in front me. My eyes were fully shut when I was in someone arms. Small, yet bigger than me....warm....loving....it had to be Mark.... I managed to mumble, "Thank you...." then everything was cold.
Nothing.....









Electric shock

I felt a bolt jump through my body

'I don't want to wake up'

Cold

'Nobody wants me there.'

"Don't leave me!!!" Mark's voice cut through the darkness.

I felt a wave of warmth

'Mark...'

Nothing

'I don't wanna be here'

Shock

'But I can't leave Mark'

Warmth

'I'll stay for him'

"She's alive!!" Someone yelled but I couldn't open my eyes.

"Where am I? Where's my mom?...Mark?" I cried out and tried to sit up, but then a sharp pain shot through my body as someone held me down.

"Let me see her!" Mrs. Tuan's voice

"Ma'am only family can be here."

"She has nobody else!! We are her family!" Mark yelled.

"Mark!!" I cried trying to sit up again, but a wave of shock hit me. My chest felt like it caved in and I couldn't breath again. My body was shaking and I couldn't stop it.

"Hurry, she's going into shock!"

Everything was fading again, the last thing I heard was, "Please ma'am" and "wait outside!" Lastly "what we can!"

'I promise I'll stay....Mark...you care right? You won't be mad if I stay?'

you care right? You won't be mad if I stay?'
