"Mom, my friend is coming over!" I can tell my mom alot now with everything that happened the other day. "Okay sweetie! Want snacks?" She yelled from the kitchen. "Yeah mom!" I yelled from upstairs. She isn't letting me leave the house but she lets anyone come over. My dad had a week business trip somewhere in Europe. So he wouldn't be home for a while. I heard someone knock on the door I ran downstairs. "The snacks are in your room." My mom said quietly. I opened the door and saw Taylor with blood on his shirt and a split lip. "Taylor!" I screamed grabbing him inside. I ran him upstairs to my room. Jack was out with some friends so I got Taylor a new shirt. "Here." I said handing him the shirt. I turned away as he was getting dressed but as I turned back he was still putting the shirt on. I saw bruises up and down his chest. "Taylor! What the hell! Why do you let your father do this?" I looked at his wrists. They weren't recent scars but they weren't old. I cried. I hugged him. "Taylor, I love you." I said looking into his eyes. He looked back at me. "Really?" I nodded. I went in the bathroom and wetted and wash cloth. I began cleaning his lip. I wiped where the blood had went. "Taylor I don't want you to be like me." I whispered. "But were so much alike." He whispered back. Tears streamed down his face. I wiped them with my thumbs. "I love you, and I don't wanna lose you." I said grabbing his hand. "I don't wanna lose you either." He said wiping my tears that had fallen. "Wanna eat?" I smiled into his hazel eyes. "Yes." He mumbled. I got the chips and gatorade that mom had left us. Then I put in a movie. I sat on the bed as the commercials played. I looked at Taylor. He was stuffing chips in his mouth. "What?" He said looking at me. "Hungry?" I said laughing. He nodded. I looked at him as he swallowed his chips. I leaned in to kiss him. & surprisingly he kissed me back. I pulled away cause he was groaning. "Am I hurting your lip?" I asked. "A little." He said. My mom walked in. "They just called me in. Jack said he would be back in an hour or two so yeah. Bye sweetie." She said giving me a peck on the cheek. She left. "Does your mom know about you being hit?" I blurted. "Yeah, my whole family does now. They watched as he slammed me into the fridge they watched as he busted me in my lip." He was angry. I hugged him. "It's gonna get better." I raised my sleeves. "Battle scars." I pointed at the cuts. He smiled and pulled the sleeves up. "Battle scars." "The battle soon ends." I said quietly. He nodded. Then kissed me for about two minutes. I pulled away. His phone vibrated. He had a text. I looked at it. It read

Ma- baby, please come home. I'm sorry. I had everyone leave. He's drunk and I called the police. Please just come home.

"Maybe you should go." I said. He nodded and gave me a kiss goodbye.
