Baileys pov

am sitting in my homeroom just staring out of the window when I feel someone tap my shoulder I turn around to see a tall girl with a sort of brown hair.

"hi can sit here" she pointed to the seat next to me. why the fuck is she asking me.

I nod and she sits down "so you're the new girl"

I just look at her blankly and go back to looking out the window until she taps my shoulder again I turn to look at her once more and shrug my shoulders.

I will take that as a yes you are the new girl then there is no need to be rude you know am just trying to be nice"

I pull my notebook out of my bag and a pen and a scribble down 'sorry' and hand it to her.

"it's fine I shouldn't have snapped at you am anna by the way and you are"

write my name on another piece of paper and handed it to her she looks at it and smiles

"omg I love your name"

I give her a lop-sided smile and the bell went I pack up my stuff as quick as I can and run out of the room before she can say another word and I head to English.

once I reach the English room I sit at the back again when am sat down I see ana come through the door and smile when she sees me.

is she following me or something?

she sits next to me once again and I give her a questionable look then go back to get my notebook and pen I put them on my desk.

"so I was going to ask this before you ran away I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch with me and my friends"

"Is this some kind of prank?" I write on a piece of paper and give it to her.

she looks at it and her face drops "what no this isn't a joke why would you think that"

I shrug my shoulder for like the hundredth time today.

"I just thought since you knew you would need a friend that's all so you want to sit with use"

I nod my head yes and she jumps out of her chair and wraps her arms around me she soon let's go and sits back in her chair.

I smile at her and she smiles back but her fave drops once more and I write another note asking what is up and pass it to her.

"What happened to your face"

and that when I remember the bruises normally no one notices them or they do and that just doesn't give to shit to ask what happened.

'nothing' i write in my notebook and hand it to her she gives me a wary smile I knew she doesn't believe me but chose not to say anything we sit in the rest of the lesson making jokes and giggling with each other.

Lunchtime

it turns out I and anna have all the same classes ant way right now we are headed to lunch we sit at a table with another girl.

"bailey this is Emma and Emma this is bailey this is the new girl I said she could sit with us"

"nic to meet you bailey," Emma says with a smile I smile back and sit down at the table to girl go off and get their food and I just sit playing with my hands waiting for them to come back.

when they came back they sat down and frowned at me I gave them a confused look.

"Why didn't you get any food" anna said with a frown

I pulled out my notebook and wrote down that I wasn't hungry they both gave me a sad ook but didn't ask questions.

we sat and talked all lunch it was kind of refreshing to have someone to sit with for once instead of sitting alone.

3 hours later

it was the end of the day and I and anna are walking out of the school she said she would give me a list because it was raining.

I write on my hand and ask where her car is and she laughs

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you my brother is picking us up"

I look at her in shock she never said anything about a brother oh shit this is already awkward enough.

she grabs my arm and pulls me over to a familiar black car the front door opens and Leon the guy from last night steps out what the fuck.

my mouth hangs open and he chuckles

"I would shut that mouth if I was you before I put it to good use"

ew, I thought as I closed my mouth and scowl at him for being gross.

"Leon this is my new friend bailey, bailey this is Leon, my brother"

"oh I know we met last night I saw her on the side of the road and gave her a lift home"

"great so you already know where she lives"

I am still stood there in shock to acknowledge what just happened.

anna grabs my hand and pulls me into the car we sit in the and all three of us talk for the 20-minute ride to the mine

I ask them to drop me off a block away and Loen looks at me funny I shrug it off and he drops me off a block away before I get out they bot ask for my number which I gladly give them and I smile and wave at them and walk the waste of the way home.

when I get outside of my house my father's truck isn't there yet so I rush in and start his dinner.

just as I finish his dinner he walks through the front door looking pissed.

I put his food on the cardboard box and turn around to have him grab a handful of my hair and turn me around.

"you bitch you thought I wouldn't find out didn't you"

I look at him confused and he laughed

"you whore you know the rule no friend and what did you do"

I look at his shock how did he find out I am knocked out of my thoughts when I am thrown to the ground he stalks off into the kitchen and comes back with a knife.

he kicks me in the stomach until I am almost pass out.

he starts to take off my top and I try to fight back but it's no use and too weak.

he flips me over onto my stomach and starts o carving something into my back I scream in pain with every slice and cut he makes.

by the time he is done with his arts and craft project on my back he gets up and sits in his chair and grabs the beer, I left for him with his food.

that's all I remember before I passed out.

Leons pov

am sat parked outside of my sister's school for 2 reason

1)because I have to pick her up because she has to stay with me because our parent is going on a vacation and don't trust her alone so she is staying with me for 2 months.

2)am hoping to bump into bailey again

the bell goes and I see people running out of the school about 2 minutes later I see my sister with bailey oh this is going to me I smile to myself.

when they notice the car I get out and the look on Bailey's face is priceless she has her mouth hung open looking in shock.

"I would shut that mouth if I were you before I put it to good use"

she scowls at me and honestly, she looks adorable when she scowls like an angry chipmunk.

anna introduce me and bailey but I tell her we already met and honestly she wasn't even fazed by it she just grab bailey and dragged her to the back of the car and got in.

when we got in the car I finally notice bailey had more bruises on her face than she did yesterday and scars up and down her arms.

I chose not to say anything because I don't want to scare her away just yet.

I found it a bit wired tho when she handed me a note asking if I could drop her a block away from her house but did so.

once she got out of the car I drove back to mine with my sister.

"so you and bailey huh," she asked as we slump down on the couch I look at her confused

"what are you talking about"

" I was walking for that I have a list, first of all, you don't give people lift you would leave them in the rain 2 you looked happy to see her you smile dude and 3 you don't usually talk to my friends so let me rephrase my question do you like bailey"

I think about it for a second do I like bailey I mean I can't stop thinking about her and her gorgeous smile and those beautiful ocean blue eyes I mean yeah you could say I like her.

"I mean yeah I guess"

she squealed and jumped on me and gave me and hug then sat in her spot again.

" you actually like a girl please don't tell me you want in her pant like every other girl your interested in.

"no I don't just want in her pant anna I like her I can't explain why but I do"

"good because if you hurt her am coming for your nuts she's my friend you hurt her you hurt me and you don't want to be on my bad side it's not pretty anyway and going upstairs call me down when the food here"

She walks up the stairs to her room here I made it cause she here a lot are parents go on a lot of holidays since they handed the business down to me.

About an hour later the pizza gets here and I call anna down we sit in the living room watching to tv until I break the silence.

"hey anna"

"what," she says with a mouthful of pizza.

"did you see the bruises and scars on bailey"

she turned and looked at me with a sad look on her face

"Yeah I ask her about it and she said it was nothing but I didn't want to ask about it any more than that because we just met and I don't want to scare her away yet and I mean if she wants us to know she would tell us right"

I sit for a minute and think about it "I hope" I mutter under my breath.

once we finished dinner I cleaned the plates we use while anna was up stair doing god knows what.

I decide once I was done with the dishes I was going to finish some paperwork so I head up to my home office and do so.

but I couldn't get bailey off my mind I pull her number out of my pocket and send her a quick message before I do some paperwork.

hours later

I finished the last piece of paperwork and I check my phone to see if I got a reply from bailey but now look.

I get up from my desk and walk out of my office I walk by my sister's room I open the door a bit and see she is asleep I close the door quietly.

I walk to my room I take a quick shower and put on some boxers and climb into bed and my mind drifts of to bailey I can't help but wonder why she hasn't responded to my text but I brush it off and let sleep take over me.
