Escaping (cody simpson fan fiction)

Chapter 20

I got home and found Cody sitting on my bed. He enveloped me in a hug then asked me what happened with Katie. I explained the whole thing including seeing her drive away in the beat up truck. Cody looked very distressed. "What's wrong?" I ask nervous about why he is acting like this. "I just remembered something. When Katie and I were dating I found some odd bruises on her. I asked her where they were from and she always just changed the subject or said she got them from falling off of her bike or something." I understood what he was trying to imply. We sat in silence thinking over our newly discovered information. "What do we do about this?" I ask in a sort of whisper. He shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head. "There is no proof that she is really being abused. There is nothing we can do." Cody said sounding very sad.

Cody stayed with me while I did homework. I did math and Spanish, then read a couple chapters for English. He was very good about being quiet while I was studying. I was in a lot of advanced classes so he wasn't much help in actually doing the homework. Because I had spent almost my whole life just doing school work I was very educated for a freshmen. I took honors comp. lit. 3 which was a class usually for juniors. I was in honors calculus, and AP chemistry. I was in almost no classes with multiple freshmen so I had a lot of older friends.

Cody stayed for dinner then we went up stairs to watch a movie. I changed into pjs and got under the covers. I fell asleep half way through the movie and only woke up When I rolled over and didn't feel cody next to me. I looked at the clock and it was 3:30 AM. I tried to fall back asleep but I couldn't. I sat up and grabbed my Spanish flash cards and quizzed myself.

When it was a reasonable time to wake up I rolled out of bed and jumped in the shower trying to wake up my body and freshen up. I looked in the mirror and notice very large bags under my eyes. I got ready for school then ate breakfast. Then off I was for another day of hell other wise known as high school.

During second period I needed to use the restroom. I got the hall pass and made my way to the restroom. I walked into the nearest restroom, as I opened the door I heard weeping. I walk past the stall were the crying was coming from and entered an empty stall. As I did my business I heard the girl stop. Probably because she heard me come in. When I was finished I opened the door and saw the back of a short brunettes head. I walked over to the sink and washed my hands not looking over to where the girl was. I looked up to find the paper towels and found myself in direct eye contact with Katie. I saw her red tear socked face and it made me sad. As I looked closer I noticed a large green and brown bruise on her right cheek. I walked up to her and just hugged her. She didn't resist, she needed a little love right now and I don't hunk she cared who gave it to her. After we broke away I pulled a piece of paper out of her binder and grabbed a pen, I scribbled down my phone number and handed it to her.

"Text or call me if you need anything." I said while walking back to class.
