Pierce's POV
"She's waking back up"

The voice was soft and manly, but it wasn't Rian's. I was disappointed.
Suddenly, my face began to burn and I groaned in pain.

"Pierce?"

Rian. That was Rian's voice. My eyes fluttered open and there he was. With his perfectly shaven head and ridiculous grinning smile. His face lit up as I awoke.

"Oh my goodness, Pierce!" Rian gasped, flinging himself next to me on the soft bed, and hugged me tightly. I slowly hugged back, my face still hurting.

Rian pulled away and I raised my hand to my face. It felt rough, not smooth anymore. Then I remembered what happened.

My vision blurred again as my eyes filled with tears. I hated Kyle, so fucking much. But I was too afraid to leave him.

"Did you see?" I whispered, looking up at Rian.

He nodded. I noticed Zack, Alex and Jack all standing at the door. Jack, for some reason, was tapping his teeth.

"What's wrong with Jack's teeth?" I asked, wiping away my tears. Rian, Zack and Alex burst out laughing, nearly crying themselves.

"He, uh, jumped on Kyle and bit him" Zack said, his face bright red, obviously laughing too much.

"Why would you...?" I replied.

"It was after he..." Alex said, pointing to my face.

My heart sunk. Rian, Zack, Alex and Jack all saw. They saw him hit me. What if they called the police? What if they confronted him? What if he turned up, back here? Or my house?
Many thoughts ran through my mind but I managed to whisper was...

"Please don't tell"

They all nodded, in agreement. Rian looked concerned.

"How long has this been happening?" He asked.

I looked up at Alex, Zack and Jack. I didn't want them here. They didn't need to know. I just wanted Rian. Rian all to myself.
Rian obviously noticed and told the guys to wait outside.

"And not earwig" he added.

The three boys left and Rian shuffled closer to me on the bed.
If this shit with Kyle hadn't of happened or the others weren't outside, I would kiss him right now.

"Pierce?" Rian said, his eyes large with worry. Our eyes locked immediately. I waited until the footsteps reached the bottom of the stairs before I spoke.

"A while". My voice was still croaky and weak.

"Why didn't you get help?"

"I was too scared" I whimpered. My voice was cracking again and tears flooded from my eyes.
"I thought no one would believe me. Because he's popular. That I caused these marks. That I was lying. That I caused these scars"

I suddenly froze. Did I just say that? Did I just tell Rian that I cut? What if he hates me? What if he kicks me out? Or hits me in disgust?

"What scars, Pierce?" He askez, his eyes big again, full of worry and care.

Why should I open up to him? He's just going to leave me, just like my other friends. I have no friends and a piece of shit like me doesn't deserve any. Don't deserve anything, or anyone.

I shook my head instantly. Rian raised his brow and reached for my wrist.
I snatched it away immediately and stood up, back to the door.

I know I normally cut on my hips but lately, I didn't care if someone saw.

Rian stood up in front of me, and I backed towards the door.
His hands were either side of my head, trapping me.

This was it. He'a finally going to hit me, I thought. Just get it over with.
Suddenly, he leaned forward and pushed our lips together.

My head swirled and the pain from my face disappeared. His lips were so soft, and tasted like strawberries. So fresh and so pure.
I kissed back and things got heated.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine round his neck. I pulled his closer, as he grabbed my thighs, wrapping my legs around him.

He spun us around and dropped me on to the bed; me underneath and him on top.
We continued to kiss for a while.
Just as i expected him to slide him tongue inside, he swiftly pulled away and pulled up my sleeve, exposing my wrist.

He gasped, and I looked away; disgusted in myself. And Rian.
He kissed me as an excuse to see my scars. He used me. Just like Kyle.

"Why, Pierce?" He whispered, welling up. I looked back at him, our eyes connecting again.

"To escape" I whispered, me too filling up with tears.

"Stay here tonight. I don't want you alone" he replied. I nodded gently as he stood up, realising me.

Then it hit me.

I had just kissed Rian.
And cheated on Kyle.


•

Kyle punched me round the face, and kicked me in the stomach.
I fell back in pain and collapsed onto the floor.
I tried to breathe, but it hurt to much.

"You fucking cheated on me, you slag!" He screamed, his hand flying across my face.

I cowered in the ball as he threw the insults and the hits.

"Pathetic"
"Whore"
"Useless"
"Weak"
"Bitch"
"Go die"

I wanted to, badly. I just wanted my nightmare to end. I stood up and grabbed Kyle.

"KILL ME THEN!" I screamed in his face.

He raised his fist once more and ended it all.

I awoke in a hot sweat.
This bed wasn't my own, these sheets aren't mine. I was breathing heavily as I felt a pair of warm arms wrap themselves around my thin waist.

"Sh sh, Pierce. I'm here, it's okay" Rian whispered. My head fell into his neck as I sobbed.

"I can't escape him, Ry. I need a blade" I wept.
Rian pulled away and looked me in the eyes.
"No. You're stronger than this, P. Trust me"

"How? How do you know? We only met today!" I cried. "I cheated on him. Now he's coming for me"

Rian pulled me back into his arms, tightly.

"I'll never let him hurt you again. I'd die for you, P" he whispered into my hair.

He slowly laid me down back into the bed ad released me.
I slowly dipped into sleep.
