To Far Away

He grabs me by my other arm and pulls me towards him
"Tell me he didn't do this to you" he says angry looking me in the eyes.
We're so close I can feel him breathing. I look down almost breaking down in tears. I can't speak.
He wraps his arms around me and I fail to hold back the tears, I lay my head on his shoulder while he runs his fingers through my hair.
"I'm gonna kill him"
I look at him concerned "No, don't. It was a one time thing" I lied "You can't get involved, just forget about it. It was nothing."
"Nothing? You have bruises all over your arm! I'm gonna end that jerk! Will you just tell me how this happened?"

Cassie Layton is 19 years old, dancing is her passion and she just got into an important dance program. The only problem is her parents need to move to Argentina for work and she has to go with them because she has no one to stay with, she also can't live by herself because with the program and her studies she has no time for a job and her parents won't pay for her to live alone. She's getting ready to move when an old friend of her family offers his house. If it wasn't difficult enough to live in someone elses house it's also the house of the guy she used to have a crush on.
