“Melissa, it’s time for school” I hear my aunt say through the other side of the door.
“I don’t want to go!” I yell back at her and cover myself with the covers.
“I hear the door open and I hear my aunt sigh, and then I feel my bed dip from her weight.
‘Honey,” my aunt says pulling the covers off me.
“Come on, you have to go, you don’t want to miss school.” My aunt says, putting her hand on my head and running her fingers through it. I shake my head and I hear her let out a sigh as she gets up. I turn around and look at her, and she that’s she’s walking towards the door.
“I think that you should go, instead of running away,” my aunt says and I sit up.
“I’m not running away: I say looking at her and she smiles at me and crosses her arms over her chest and gives me a knowing look. ‘I guess I am running away’, I think to myself and sigh nodding towards my aunt and pulling the covers off me getting up. I hear my aunt chuckle and my door close. I grab my clothes and trudge over to my bathroom to shower and get ready for the day.

After getting ready, I walked downstairs and was met with an array of smiles from everyone. I walked over to the table and pulled out the chair and sat down. My aunt put a plate of bacon, eggs, and pancakes in front of me and my lips were pulled into a small smile unintentionally.
“So, are you ok?” I hear someone ask, I look up and notice that everyone is looking at me. I nod my head and pick up my fork and start to eat.
“So, you’re going to school today?” I hear Jeff ask and I nod my head shoveling eggs into my mouth. I hear Jeff sigh and I look at him from under my eyelashes.
“You know that if you can’t do it, you can call me and I’ll come and get you,” I hear my uncle say and I nod shoveling my food into my mouth. After a couple of minutes of eating I finish my food and get up grabbing my plate and walking to the sink and washing my plate before putting it on the drying rack for it to dry.
“Ready?” I hear Jeff yell from the front door.
“Yeah,” I say grabbing my bag and kissing both my aunt and uncle on the cheek before walking to Jeff who held the door open for me. We walked out of the house and towards his car and we got in and we drove away in a comfortable silence. And I’m glad that he didn’t say anything. I don’t really want to talk, I’m trying to get prepared to face him.

When we pull into the parking lot, I smile a little when I see Trevor leaning on his car. When he sees Jeff`s car he pushed off his car and started walking over towards where Jeff was parking the car. When he put the car into park I unbuckle and get out and Trevor walks up to me and puts his arm around my waist and gives me a quick little kiss on the lips. I pull away smiling.
“I didn’t think you’d come today,” Trevor says looking at me. I shrug and snuggle closer to him, feeling safe with him. Soon after Ash walks over and starts to ask a bunch of questions about what happened yesterday.
“I didn’t feel to good,” I say and I feel Trevor’s hand tighten around my waist. Ash nods her head pleased with my answer and I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.
“Are you feeling better now?” Ash asks after a couple of seconds, I nod my head and she smiles. She then looks down at my waist and her smile becomes wider. She looks up at me and raises a brow and gives me a knowing smirk. I feel my face growing hot and can tell that I’m blushing.
“So, you two,” Ash says, pointing between me and Trevor, causing my blush to deepen. Trevor nods his head chuckling. I hear a high pitch squeal and I look up just in time to be tackled by Ash herself.
“Oh my god,” Ash says hugging me and looking at Trevor patting him on the back.
“If you ever hurt her. You will be speaking to me,” Ash says with her hand on Trevor’s shoulder. I smile at how protective she is of me.
“Never,” Trevor says and I feel his grip on my waist tighten slightly. We look towards the entrance of the parking lot when we hear a car engine. The car draws everyone’s attention, and I know who it is, Brad. Trevor’s hand on my waist tightened, and I moved closer to him, regretting coming to school, I’m not ready for this. Brad gets out and looks at me and smiles but his smile falters when he sees Trevor’s had around my waist.
We stand there until the bell rings and Trevor pulls me into the school and to class. He walks me to my seat and I sit down and he sits down behind me.
“Hey, are you ok?” Trevor asks me when he sits down. I just nod my head causing him to sigh.
“If you don’t think you’re up to it, just tell me and we`ll leave,” Trevor says and I smile, causing him to smile as well.
“I`m going to be fine,” I saw and he just chuckles, I turn around as the teacher walks in.
“That’s my girl,” I hear Trevor whisper causing me to smile and blush a little. I blushed even harder when I heard Ash chuckle next to me. When did she get there? I asked myself.

Classes went by quick and next thing I knew it was lunch and I walked out and saw Trevor standing there looking at his phone, I smiled and walked up to him wrapping my arms around his waist. He put his phone away and smiled at me and wrapped his arms around my waist, and kissed me. We walked to the cafeteria and to the table where I saw all my friends. When I got there everyone asked what happened to me yesterday and I just told them the same thing I told Ash. My attention was drawn from my friends to Trevor when I felt his grip tighten and him pull me closer to him. I looked up at him to ask him what was wrong, but when I looked in the direction that he was looking, I saw Brad, standing there looking at us with a not pleased expression on his face.
