I start to wake up and feel alot of pain. I try to remember what happened, I remember my dad hitting me with a bat, then leaving. I remember being picked up and brought somewhere. I try to open my eyes, but it's so bright. When my eyes finally adjust I see that I'm in a hospital room. I can barely see a nurse and someone else talking by the door. I try to sit up but it hurts, and I slump back down, a machine starts beeping and the nurse walks up. I turn to see who the person is and it's Colby. "C-colby?" I stutter out."hey, how are you doing?" "What happened?" He thinks for a minute then answers. "A couple days ago your dad beat you, do you remember?" A COUPLE DAYS?!? "Wait, how long have I been asleep?!?" He looks worried, "12 days..." I sit back and look up. "What happened to my father?" " I called the police on him, they said he wasn't found at your house, so he's on the run" I got scared and Colby could tell. I started breathing heavily and a nurse came in and have me meds to put me to sleep. "It's gonna be ok, I'll protect you..." Is all I heard as I fell into a deep sleep.
    I woke up again and opens my eyes, to see Colby with a huge grin. "What are you so happy about?" I ask, " well, 1. the doctors said you could leave to day and 2. if your up for it, you could come live with me and my roommates" I started smiling "Really?!?" "Yeah and would you want to live with us, it's my group of friends, Corey, Aaron, Elton, and me?" "Of course! That would be awesome!" A doctor came in and did some tests to make sure I was alright, the she unhooked me from the machines and IV. "Your free to go!" I put my clothes on and got ready to leave. Something came over me, I don't know if it was happyness or relief, but I ran over to Colby and hugged him with all the strength I had. He was startled at first but quickly hugged back. "Come on, let's go shopping!" I looked at him confused. "We need to decorate your new room" I grinned and we left for a mall.
     After shopping for a bed, blankets, a rug, a desk, and a TV, we headed to Colby's house. We got there and it was huge! We pulled up and got out of the car, to see the guys holding up a sign saying 'Welcome to your new home!' I smiled. They came up to me and I flinched, bit calmed down, 'They aren't going to hurt you' I kept telling myself. They asked how I was doing, and if I needed help moving in. I said yeah and we started to unload my furniture into the mansion sized house. Corey showed me where I was staying, so I started decorating. I had everything set up, then Colby was standing in the door way. "How are you settling in?" He asked, "Good, thank you again for letting me stay here" "no problem, can we talk?" I got a little nervous. "Um.....sure" he closed the door and came in. We both sat on my new bed, he sighed. "How long has your father been doing this for?" I was taken back by the question and looked down, ashamed. "14 years...." I mumbled. He didn't say anything for a minute. I looked at him and it's like he's was thinking about what to say. "What has he done to you?" I was shocked. "You don't have to tell me but I'm just worried.." I thought for a sec, I can trust him. "I don't like repeating, what he's done..." He looked at me. "Can you show me?" I looked at him all I saw was worry in his eyes. I nodded. I took my hoodie off, then my shirt. All I saw was a horrified face on Colby.
