A/N: THERE ARE ALOT OF TRIGGER WARNINGS. IM SORRY DONT KILL ME;-; IM TOO YOUNG TO DIEEEE.
~~~~~~~~~
I rushed out of my house with a backpack of my things & my longboard & my laptop of course. I left a note on the fridge telling my parents I’m staying at a friends house for the week, maybe longer. They won’t care. I was walking back to Dan’s when I heard the angered voice of Mark coming from behind me. I could tell he was drunk.
When Mark is drunk, it’s never good. Ever.
I turned around to see Mark stumbling towards me, blabbering something didn’t understand. He came up to me & grabbed me by my waist & pulled me to him kissing me violently. I wanted to throw up. He tasted of alcohol & cigarettes. I kissed him back trying not to gag before he pulled away.
"Leslie baby. I’ve missed you." He slurred.
"I’ve missed you" I lied
"Good. Wanna come back to my place?" He asked almost falling to the floor.
"I have to go somewhere baby, maybe another time?" I said charmingly so he wouldn’t get too mad.
"What? Do you have another boy to see?" He said aggressively.
I was scared. “No of course not babe. You’re the only guy in my life" I said & tried not to sound afraid. He bought it because he said something I didn’t understand before kissing me quickly & stumbling the opposite way. I turned & ran for my life to Dan’s.
When I arrived to Dan’s I was out of breath & crying. While I was running my mom & dad called. They saw the note & told me to come home. I argued with them & they threw the worst insults at me. I hung up & ran crying.
I hated my parents.
I hated Mark.
I hated my life.
I never really tried killing myself yet there were times where I felt it was the only option. But I stopped myself because I didn’t feel right about it.
I’m not sure why. It wasn’t like anyone was going to miss me.
Dan POV:
I heard a soft knock on the door. I ran down the stairs almost falling. I opened the door smiling widely.
The smile faded when I saw an out-of-breath, sobbing Leslie trembling at the foot of my door. I quickly engulfed her into a heart-warming hug while she sobbed into my cheek.
I had the gut instinct this had to do with Mark or her parents.
When she stopped crying I picked her up bridal style & carried her up the stairs & layed her down on the bed.
She told me what happened with Mark & how her parents called. I felt terrible. There was no way in hell I was letting her go back home. Not a chance. She was 19. She could legally leave home if she wanted.
"Les I’m so sorry.. I feel terrible. I should have gone with you & none of this would have happened."
"It’s okay Dan. I just want to forget it ever happened"
I nearly forgot about her surprise. Gosh she was going to love this. She had been talking about it since we met.
"Well I nearly forgot about my surprise for you. Hopefully it works" I said smiling softly.
"Oh my god. What do I wear? A dress? Something casual? I took everything out of my closet. I’m the worst when picking something to wear."
"Well good, you aren’t going anywhere for a while. I’ll be back. I’m going to go call my mum" I said leaving the room.
*****
"Hello? Dan, what do you need honey? Is everything okay?"
"Yes mum, everything fine. I guess. Hey uhh- I was wondering if Les could stay for a while.. She’s having issues at home & needs to get out of there for a while."
"Yes of course she can! She’s so lovely, I’d love to have her over. Is she alright?"
"She’s fine just a little tired. I’m going to give her that thing I was telling you about last night.. I really hope she likes it.." I said scratching the back of neck.
"She’ll love it Daniel. Don’t worry. now I have to go to work. My break is ending. See you guys tonight. Love you."
"Love you too, bye mum." I hung up & walked back into the room.
I froze at the sight. She was gone.
Her things were scattered everywhere & the window was open. I didn’t leave the window open. I panicked. Why would she have left? Oh god. Oh god.
Oh god.
Dan you moron. She wouldn’t have-
"Dan?" I heard a quiet, soft voice call out from behind me. I felt relieved.
"Oh my god Les you scared the hell out of me. I thought you had left through the window or something." I breathed out.
"No silly, why would I leave? I was in the restroom getting changed. I opened the window because I needed fresh air." She giggled & I smiled.
"Good. I didn’t want you to leave." I replied hugging her tightly.
"I don’t plan on it" She said hugging me back just as tight.
"That reminds me, I asked my mum & she said you can stay for as long as you want" I replied grinning widely.
"Yay" Les said giggling.
She was perfect.
"Now for your surprise, follow me Les." I replied. I didn’t care if I was in sweat pants, although she changed into a cute dress & some boots. I couldn’t help but stare. She didn’t have any makeup on & her face was beautiful. She didn’t have a thigh gap but it didn’t matter because she was still beautiful.
