Tobias pov
I lay on the floor. He must have been mad or something, but why? He's leaving but he's probably teaching me a lesson.
I hear a small knock on my front door. Who can that be?? No one really knows who I am or knows I'm alive. I'm quite frightened but I hear her voice, Beatrice.
No please. She can't see me like this. She knocks a few more times and then disappears. She doesn't deserve this. But that's all I can give to her.
I decide to get up. For some reason, I go to check if she's there. I peek out of the curtain and I see a fragile little girl.She has her head between her knees. And It looks like she's crying? Why? I can't stand to see her like this. I run to the door.
"Beatrice." I whisper opening the door.
"Tobias?" She sniffles
"Come in here." I say
She quickly comes in and I shut the door behind her.
"How long have the beatings happened?" She says standing in front of me.
"I don't know what your talking about." I say sternly.
"Don't, you can trust me." She whispers.
I sigh. "Almost a year."
"That's a long time to be treated like that." She whispers
"If I had any control over it, don't you think I would try to make it stop." I snap.
She looks at me with sadness in her eyes. She didn't come here to be snapped at. I'm lucky she's even here.
"Hey I'm sorry, why did you come here?" I ask.
"Your not the only one that gets beat." She whispers
"What?" I ask
She looks at me. She's gonna cry in any minute.
"Beatrice why are you gonna cry?" I ask
"Because I'm leaving." She says with tears rolling down her cheeks
"Why?" I ask.
"Like I said, your not the only one that gets beat." She says
Oh no. Not Beatrice. She's so delicate.
"Oh bea." I say
I can't think of anymore to say so I just hug her. If Marcus was here, I would be beaten to death, literally.
"I'm running away Tobias." "I'll never see you again." She sobs into my shirt
"Beatrice, everything is going to be okay." I say
"How?" She cries
"It's easy, just go." I say
"But what about you?" She asks
"I will be fine." I say
"No you won't. Don't lie to me Tobias." She says
"I'll be fine." "You need to go. I don't want to make this harder than it has to be." I say
She nods. "Good luck Tobias."
And like that she's gone.
