I lay in bed unable to go back to sleep. I think I dozed off a little after Pierce woke up. But I guess it didn’t last. She lies down across my chest pinning me to the bed. Holding me in place to stay close to her. Forcing me to be so close to her I can feel her heart beat on my chest. I ache a little inside from what she said when she woke up.
"I can't escape him, Ry. I need a blade"
“… I cheated on him. Now he’s coming for me.”
Being completely honest, I’d never dealt with anything like this before in my life. I’d never met someone in an abusive relationship, though I had met people who self-harmed I was never able to deal with it the right way. Say the right things. Especially when you’re me that seems to be a bad thing.
I’m always the one people expect to know hats going on. I am looked at to be some sort of leader, when all I really want is to be left alone with my friends, family and music. That’s all I need in life really. Now I’m here, lying in bed with another mans broken down girlfriend who he can’t appreciate the way she needs to be.
Just before he hit her, the bastard had the nerve to tell her that he loved her. What does that really mean just before you knock someone to the ground with a fist to the face and a mild concussion. As far as I care Kyle is just using Pierce to heighten his popularity levels or something.
Through my entire high school career I’ve done my best to avoid these idiots. The guys who smack each other’s assess but think if two guys hug it’s automatically a ‘gay’ gesture. Wow. That guy just lost his sibling and his friend hugged him. They’re sooooo gay!
I’m laying here in bed with Kyle’s girlfriend and practically prepared to jump headfirst into his house to claim her.

And I have no fucking idea why.

I told her I’d never let him hurt her again. I know I lied. I can try as hard as I can but the sad truth is Kyle is suck a big-shot that he can probably manage to arrange some crazy shit to happen to her. I know because of experience.
I could very well be risking my and her reputation, all my friends. Especially Alex, Zack and Jack. They could be getting a good hit to their social status I’ll admit. Tomorrow, or today… at noon they’re all coming over, might as well have some sort of strategy planning session then. I just need their advice to decide what I’m going to do.
I may have lied about not letting Kyle hurt her again. But I do stick to my promises. Only this time I’m going to bend the rules a litte bit, I can only do my best and so that’s what I’m going to do.
I promise to try my damndest to fight to make Pierce the happiest girl alive and that includes never letting Kyle get close enough to her to hurt her. But all I can do is try my hardest. No less.
“Rian…” Pierce shifts on my chest her fingers dig into my sides slightly.
“Good morning P.” I smile down at her as best as I can despite the terrible feeling in my gut.
“What time is it?” She groans slowly pulling herself up off of me to look at my bedside table.
“I’m guessing about nine. You hungry?” I cant help but laugh at her facial expression and the mess of hair around her face.
“Starving.” She pushes up on my chest and sluggishly rolls onto her back. Her eyes remain shut tightly, probably trying to hold onto the bliss of unconciousness.
“I’ll run downstairs and start making omlettes. My Mom and Dad are probably gone, work you know?” I can’t help but reach over and run a hand through her hair trying to start to manage it as I speak.
“Mhmm…” I sigh accepting that at this point that’s probably the best response I’ll get at this point. I start to get out of bed, my stomach protests probably from the pain of yesterdays events. It feels like it just happened yet happened years ago. If that makes any sense which it doesn’t at all. I make my way down into the kitchen where I lean against the counter for a moment to gather my thoughts.
“Rian?” I open my eyes to see my mother standing across the room from me with a concerned look on her face that almost breaks my heart. I love my mom and I don’t want to disappoint her. I don’t need her to worry about my stupid high school problems. “Is everything all right sweetheart?” a small groan escapes my lips what a stupid question that is in retrospect.
“I’m fine mom. You should go, you’ll be late for work. I’ll tell you about it later.” I plaster another smile on my face for her. Her eyebrows furrow, she makes her way over giving me a mom hug before nodding and telling me she loves me before going back to the front hall and getting ready to leave.
I almost have the omlettes finished, my mother already left. When I heard the soft pat of footsteps coming down the stairs. I brace myself to see Pierce turn the corner. I guess I didn’t notice it before but her eye now has a good sized purple bruise below it.
“Do you like coffee?” I hold my arm out to her to walk into. At this point it’s probably best to keep the conversation light. I don’t want to make her re-live last night in her mind.
“I…” she starts to stutter her eyes are wide and flick around the room looking at anything and everything but me. “….I should probably go home…” she now stares at her feet sadly. I want nothing more but then to hug her tightly, tell her everything will be perfect.
“I personally drink mine black.” She raises an eyebrow at my blatant ignoring of her statement. For some reason she steps forward and wraps her arms around my waist pulling me into her tightly forcing me to hug her back. “I’m not letting you out of my sight until we figure out what’s going on. Untill I’m sure he will never lay another fucking shallow finger on you.” I mumble my speech muffled by the mess of hair that’s in my face. I also am unable to see her face so I’m forced to assume the movement of hr head on my chest was an attempt at a nod.
