     "Wake up, you fat pig!" My dad yelled. I felt a hand hit my face hard.

     "I'm up, Dad," I said with tears in my eyes. He left the room and I sat up. My face hurt so much. I cried as I got out of bed and went to my bathroom. I washed my face and got dressed. I did my makeup and hair. Then I went downstairs. My brother was already waiting to drive me to school. I grabbed my bag and ran to get in the car. My brother yelled at me the whole way to school. When we got to school I jumped out of the car and ran into the building. Tears filled my eyes as I ran through the hallway. I got to my locker and quickly put my books in my locker. I grabbed my book for first period and ran to the classroom. 

     At the end of the day I sat down on a bench in the hallway. People walked by as I cried with my face in my hands. I could feel someone sit down next to me. I looked up and saw the most popular boy in school, Aaron.

     "Are you ok?" He asked looking at me with gentle eyes.

     "N-No..," I said quietly. 

     "What's wrong?" Aaron asked sitting next to me.

     "My family life," I said as tears ran down my cheeks. Aaron put his arm around me and I hugged him.

     "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked holding me.

     "Can I trust you?" I asked looking up into his eyes.

     "Yes," He smiled.

     "My father physically abuses me and my brother verbally abuses me," I said shaking.

     "Isn't your brother that junior Ein?" Aaron asked me.

     "Y-Yes," I said quietly. 

     "I'll be right back," He said standing up.

     "N-No, please, stay with me!" I said.

     "I need to show him not to mess with you," Aaron said.

     "No, he'll abuse me more," I cried. He sighed and hugged me tightly. We talked for a bit and eventually he offered to give me a ride home. In the car we talked more and when we got to my place I took a deep breath so I would be prepared to take a hit for coming home late. I walked in thew door and saw my dad standing in the kitchen with a paddle. I ran up to my room, but he chased me. I was able to close my door and locked it. I called Aaron in tears. 

     "Sneak out of your window," Aaron said, "I'll come pick you up and you can stay at my place."

     "R-Really?" I asked smiling.

     "Yes, I'll be there in half an hour," Aaron said.

     "Ok, thank you," I smiled and hung up. I quickly packed my bag and snuck out the window as I made it to the ground I heard my door break. I started running and saw Aaron's car. I jumped in and he drove off. When we got to his house we went to his guest room. It was right next to his room. 

     "I'll let you get settled in," Aaron said hugging me. I smiled and he left me alone in the room. I took some of my clothes out of my bag and put them in the closet. After some unpacking Aaron came into the room with some dinner.

     "Hey, here's your dinner," He smiled. I ran up and hugged him. He let go of me and I took the food he sat with me and we talked as I ate. Eventually I needed to go to bed and I looked at Aaron. He got up and I hugged him.

     "Will you stay here with me tonight? I'm scared," I said with tears in my eyes. He hugged me.

     "Fine," He said. I lied down in bed and he sat down next to me. I grabbed him and pulled him down next to me. He blushed but I hugged him. He smiled and hugged me. I fell asleep in his arms.
