~1st official chapter! Yay! :)~ 

CALI'S POV: 

"Why...why me?" I whispered to myself while crying. He said he loved me....he lied. It was all a lie! A fucking game!! I sat on the cold bathroom floor in my apartment. Crying my eyes out, wishing I could just magically feel better. But sadly, that's not going to happen. My ex-boyfriend Drew and I just broke up. He was cheating on me, but that's not mostly why we split. He abused me. Constantly, physically and mentally. 2 months after we started dating. I never told anyone, I was too scared. I would constantly feel alone, and depressed. To make myself feel better I cut myself, trying to forget all he has done to me. I finally, a couple weeks ago, got away...I moved to Massachusetts. Drew wasn't thrilled about that. He thinks he owns me but, he's sadly mistaken. Even though I'm thousands of miles away from him, he still hurts me. He always calls me a slut, whore, bitch, etc.

"I'm done.......i'm so fucking done." I say. I get up and walk into my bedroom, I reach underneath my bed and pull out a shoe box. I slowly open it. Inside lays 2 razors. I grab one and walk back into my bathroom. I hold the razor up to my wrist, while looking at all the other cuts I have put onto myself. I slide the cold metal against my skin. It burns...it stings. But it's worth the pain. I make 3 other cuts, until I hear a knock on my front door. I jump at the noise and quickly put down the razor and rise off my wrist. Then throw on a long sleeve shirt to cover the damage. I walk to the front door of my apartment, slowly opening it, I see my friend Aleks on the other side. I instantly get happy, I don't know why...he just makes me always happy no matter what. And I love that. Our eyes connect and he smiles at me. I smile back. 

 "Hey Cali" Aleks says. "Hi Aleks. What are you doing here?" I ask him, hoping he's not planning on staying long. "I just came by to hang out. I do all the time, why are acting like it's so different this time?" he asks me. Because I was in the middle of something that I don't want you finding out about. I push that thought away and choose a different response. "Oh yeah, it's not. I was just wondering. Um, I guess I can hang out right now." I respond with a nervous smile. "Cool." Aleks says smiling. He walks into my apartment and sits on the couch. I close the door and turn towards him. "I'll be right back. Just make yourself at home like you always do." I tell him while giggling a little. He nods in response and turns on the tv. I walk back into my bathroom and clean up a little, then put a bandage on my fresh cuts. I look in the mirror and don't like what I see staring back at me. Ugly. All I see is ugly. I've never had anyone tell me I was pretty, other then Aleks. He constantly compliments me every chance he gets. Which I appreciate, but deny to believe his words. I recollect myself and walk back into the living room where Aleks is waiting. I sit down next to him. 

ALEKS POV: 

 Somethings up...Cali isn't acting like her normal bubbly self. Come to think of it, for the last couple days she hasn't been acting like herself. God, I hope she's okay. I would hate to see her upset. She's my world. I look over at her and admire her beauty. Her perfect black hair is a mess and she's wearing no makeup. But somehow she still manages to look flawless. She senses me staring and looks over at me. "May I help you?" She asks with a smirk on her face. "Oh uhh.." Is all I manage to say, I always get lost in those beautiful green eyes. She continues looking at me. "Nothing..it's nothing." I stutter. "Oh." Cali says, sounding a bit upset. We look away from each other and sit in silence for the next couple minutes. I break the silence, " Cal are you okay?" She looks back at me, "What would make you think somethings wrong?" she asks. "Babe I know you. I'm your best friend, I know when something is wrong." I say. She sits there quietly for a few seconds until breaking out in tears. I am shocked at the response. I grab her into a hug, with her face buried into my chest. I try to comfort her. "We-we broke up. Drew and I broke up last night." she says.

"What? Why?" I say. "I broke up with him. He cheated on me." she replied while still crying. I was shocked..but sensed there was something else she was not telling me. "There's more to the story then that." I tell her. "Yeah um he hits me." Cali says quickly hoping I wouldn't catch on what she said. "What?!" I yell while looking down at her. He hits her! What fucking kind of man hits a girl, especially one as beautiful and nice and Cali?? "How long?" I ask. "2 months after we started dating." she says in pitty. "That's 4 months that he has been abusing you! Fucking 4 months! Cali why didn't you tell me?" I yelled at her. "I-I was scared. I'm sorry." she says barely audible. I go off on her, on how she should've told me and how I was mad at not only Drew but also Cali. She backed away, still crying, she looked scared. I recognized this and calmed myself down. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blow up on you like that. I'm just mad okay. And worried about you. You're my best friend, I would die if anything bad would happen to you." I say while looking at her. She also calms herself down. "I understand. I'm sorry also." Cali said with her voice still quivering. I sat back down on the couch and she sat down next to me. I hug her, we stayed like that for a couple minutes until I looked down at her. She looked up back at me. I wiped the last remaining tears from her face. She weakly smiled, I smile back. Suddenly something happened, we slowly start leaning towards each other. Our faces were inches apart. We...
