Jamie out of the screen door as a man ran after her, stopping on the front porch and screaming, "Get back here you brat!" the anger ragged in his voice.
She continued running as fast as she could, never looking back. She ran until she couldn't run any longer. Breathing hard she stoped on a sidewalk crouching on the closest bench trying to catch her breath.
She felt a light hand rest on her back which made her jump high at the unexpected contact, running again not wanting to see who was behind her, scared he had followed her.
"Jamie! Stop it's me."
At the familiar ton of James' voice she came to an abrupt stop, turning to look at him. He jogged slowly to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Im sorry for startling you. Are you alright?"
"No!" she whispered.
Quietly rubbing her upper arm James asked, "What's wrong?"
"My dad!" she sobbed, barying her face in his chest.

Ashley is basically the Queen of Nerds at her stereo-type filled high school, and being abused at home doesn't really help. But what happens when the most popular boy at school sees her bruises?
______________
"Here let me help." It was Jason. He was in the girls bathroom, the girls bathroom.
"That's ok." I mumbled turning away. The bruise was starting to show.
"No I insist." He grabbed my arm and turned me around. I winced and looked up at him.
He started to dab like I was doing, then he started to rub. He stared at my arm intently.
"Is that a bruise?" He asked looking at me then the bruise and back and forth.
"Yeah, I, um fell off my um...bike! Yeah my bike!" I said.
He rolled his eyes and let go of my arm.
"Well whatever just get that checked out." He said smiling.
"Why do you care?" I asked.
"Because I'm trying to be nice," Then he mumbled, "It's not like you have friends anyway."
"Hey! That's not nice." I said furrowing my eyebrows.
He held up his hands in a no offense motion.
"I'm just saying you could use some friends." He said.
