Elliots POV
-
I woke up to my phone being blown up by liv. I had 12 messages from her. All saying "El did you get home?" "El are you safe?" "El answer wth" "What's going on?" "Are you serious answer" and about 5 more all saying the same thing. I still didn't reply because I felt to sick. My whole body was sore as I knew it would be. I took off my shirt and looked in the mirror. My whole back was pink and purple, my mom threw anything she could find yesterday. It hurt to see myself look like this. I got new clothes and decided to shower before school. I looked to see my mom asleep on the couch. I tippy toed to the bathroom not wanting to wake her. I got in and stayed in for about 15 minutes.

15 minutes later

I got ready for school. I had on a black sweats and a white shirt with a Jean jacket. I grabbed a apple on the way out so I wouldn't be to hungry. I got to school and did the usual. I got to my locker and took out the books I needed and put my jacket in the locker I turned around and seen liv. She came up to me I could tell she was angry at me. She then said "Elliot I thought you were going to text me. I was worried something happened to you. You are always supposed to text me." I felt bad but I just couldn't handle it I couldn't help how exhausted I was. I say "Liv please I'm fine and I'm sorry. I feel asleep okay it was late and I was tired. I was safe and I'm so so sorry I didn't text you but I'm okay, okay?" She hugged me and said "Okay but you can't do that again you're all I have." When I was about to say something her boyfriend came and said "Really? Why am I not surprised you're here with this asshole." We pulled out of the hug and I said "You really need to calm down. Nothing is going on between us." He laughed and before I knew it he punched me square in the face. I felt so weak because I had already been sore but it didn't stop me from punching straight in the nose knocking him down. Everyone in the hall started gathering as we fought he kept pulling me which caused my shirt to rise and I knew all of my bruising was exposed. Everyone gasped as they saw my back and a school official finally showed up. A school official finally got us off of each other. Jake was taken to the office as everyone told the school official that he threw the first punch. They told me to go to the guidance counselor and I knew everything was going to be fucked. How could I let them see my back? I need to come up with some quick. Oh god everyone is going to find out. Everyone cleared the hallway except for Olivia who stood there horrified. I slid down the locker walls and I let go. I let go and I sobbed.

The moment I saw El's back I freaked out. I don't know what to do. Everyone clears the hallway. I didn't even go after Jake. I knew something was wrong with el he has been hurt. Someone's hurting him. I am horrified at how bruised he is. He slid down the lockers and started to cry. As shocked as I was I sat next to him on the floor and he put his head on my shoulder and sobbed. I rubbed his back as he cried and all I could think is who would be doing this to him. His dad isn't home and his mom doesn't seem like she would but I haven't seen or heard from her in forever. I whisper into his ear "Who did this to you?" His cries got louder and I say "I'm here for you no matter what and you know that you can always come home with me if things are to much. You know that right Elliot?" Although I know my mom probably wouldn't approve of Elliot being over I know she'd understand the situation, she hates seeing people in pain. It just reminds her of her own pain. He takes his head off my shoulders and nods his head yes. Things are silent. He's scared. I can tell he's scared I can see it. I ask again "Who did this to you el?" Tears rolling down both our faces. He says "I'm not I can't liv I just can't." He was chocking up and I knew this was all to much for him. I say "Okay I understand. Today come over my house we can talk or not talk, whatever you want that's what we will do. Is the there anything I can do right now for you?" He stood up and so did I. His face hung low and his eyes were puffy from crying. He said "Can you hold me?" His voice broke my heart and I didn't say anything I just wrapped my arms around his back softly because I knew his back must be sore. He hugged me back and we stood like that in the middle of a empty hall for about 5 minutes. He whispered in my ear "Can you come with me to the guidance counselor?" I shook my head yes. He pulled away and we made eye contact. We stared into each other's and all I could think is I love him. He lowered his head to mine our foreheads were against each other's. We were so close that I thought me might-

I felt so hopeless in the moment but with liv by my side I thought things might be okay. I put our foreheads together and our faces were so close. In the moment I didn't care about the aftermath of this situation. Honestly I was so scared and so sad that I felt numb to everything but her. So I did it. I did it without regret. I placed my lips gently against hers and kissed her. I put my hand on her lower back and kissed her. I wasn't thinking straight but I didn't care I just needed her. She pulled away and said "El...?" I embarrassed said "I'm sorry" She said "Don't be. We don't have to talk about it yet come on let's get the guidance counselor."

I sat in the office with Olivia by my side. I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. It was amazing but I don't think she felt the same way. In the office I lied through my teeth. Everything that came out my mouth was a lie. I said I had fallen off of my bike over the weekend. I told them I was biking in the park and took a bad fall. They believed me because they met my parents they didn't think that I could possibly be getting hit. Apart of me wishes they knew I was lying so I could be out of this situation but another part of me just didn't want to lose my mom. I always questioned if the school knew about my dad, they usually know stuff like that right? I don't know. I just want to go home and sleep but I can't. They said I could go but before I left they said they'll be looking out for me and that they will send a call home. I could Only hope my mom misses the call.
