Preface.

"Stop wining He bellowed kicking her straight in the gut, she gets up hiding the pain under a blank expression. She nodded standing up weakly she clutched her stomach flinching as a sharp pain shot up her spine. Her knees shook uncontorollably as she took a step backwards and fell into the corner. "Please..Please..Please.." She whispered to him staring up at him anger in his eyes showing no gave one last chuckle before turning around closing the heavy door with a click the door was locked and she knew it was all over.

Clares POV.

She was awoken by the music blaring from her alarm clock she sat up quickly clutching a rib obviously broken as she leaned forward her eyes tearing up. -flashback- Fitz had held her against the wall. "Dont ever get that close to fucking everything up again Clare, you won't like the consequences." He said refering to the obvious gash that spread scross her left cheek, her teacher had asked what happened and she had smoothly lied telling her she had fell of her bike on the way to school she sent her down to the office and she panicked and completely screwed up telling mr. Simpson she had fell down the stairs not realizing Ms. Dawes had told him that Clare had fell of her bike earlier they got suspisious and started questioning and watching clare carefully and if fitz got caught he'd be put in jail and she knew he would kill her. She whimpered silently. "I- I.." she stuttered and he punched her straight in the ribs hearing a rather loud cracking noise echoed in the room and She screamed out in pain.

The flashback ended in tears and she was in a ball her knees tucked to her chest her arms still holding her ribs. She stood up carefully trying to keep all thoughts of him out of her head when she knew it was coming he would be there. Right infront of her locker, smiling cheerfully, he would wrap an arm around her waist and she would love the way he would make her feel would kiss her goodbye before class and she was as happy as a clam. But that was only 50% of the time, the other 50% was the side of fitz nobody knew about the part about him she dreaded. He was an abusive boyfriend. And extremely bipolar with some serious mental issues.

She snapped back to reality realizing she had half an hour till school started, she rushed around finally running out the door an apple in hand, She met half way with alli and walked the rest of the way in a rush. Clare and Alli made it to the school just in time, she waved at ally. "Meet me at the dot for lunch." She yelled to alli backing up into a tall figure, she hurried to stand up. "Im sorry." She said feeling heat flooding her face, he grabbed her arm and she winced. "Dont be," She looked up and noticed he didn't look famliar, he winked at her and her heart skipped a beat. She mentally slapped herself and grabbed her stuff from her locker first period runnning to English. She stumbled into the classroom just in time and sat down a relieved look spread across her face. Ms. Dawes entered as well with a big grin, "Today I will be assigning English partners, you will work as a team for the rest of the year on any assignments I give you." Her eyes scanned the classroom briefly, she hmm'd. "Clare Edwards... And you, Elijah Goldsworthy." She turned around slightly noticing the boy she had bumped into earlier today,"Call me Eli." He said giving an oh so attractive smirk followed by him fully turning around his piercing green eyes making her melt. "You have pretty eyes." He said obviously checking her out, she shifted in her seat all of a sudden feeling extremely nervous. "T-Thanks." she looked up at him. "YouToo" she blurted out mentally slapping myself once again.
