I do not own Camp Rock or the song "The Way She Feels" by Between the Trees

"You're late" he said.

"I know, I'm sorry. I got caught up at my-" but she didn't get to finish that sentence. He had already backhanded her across the face.

"I don't want to hear excuses, Brynna...I'll forgive you for being late if you finally prove your love to me" he said as he pushed her onto the couch.

"Mark, I can't. I promised that I wouldn't" she said.

But she knew he didn't care. He never cared. He never cared when she had a bad day. He never cared that he beat her to a pulp when he felt like it. And he sure as hell didn't care that she was trying her hardest to push him off of her as he was ripping off her clothes.

"Quit moving, you little bitch!"

The last thing she felt was the pain of him taking away her purity. The last thing she saw was his fist flying at her face. Then it was black.

Shes upset
Bad day
Heads for the dresser drawer to
Drive her pain away
Nothing good can come of this.
She opens it theres nothing there
Is only left over tears
Mom and dad had no right she screams
As the anger runs down both of her cheeks.

Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries

When she finally got home, she wasn't really in the mood to talk. Her parents, of course, were waiting in the living room for her.

"Hi, sweetie! How was your date with Mark? He seems like such a sweet boy" her mother said.

"I'm breaking up with him, mom"

"What, why? He's the best you're going to do. He's a perfect gentleman. It seems like to me it's going to be YOUR loss. He'll be snatched up again in no time. I just think it's a bad move to let him go for no good reason"

"Whatever, mom. I'm going to bed"

She ran up the stairs holding in the tears. She immediately ran to her drawer to find her comfort. She caught sight of her reflection in the mirror and saw the bruise starting to form on her eye and wondered how her parents didn't notice.

She brought the knife up to her arm to pour her pain out and strangled the screams of pain.

All alone the way she feels
Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding

Then she closed her eyes
And found relief in a knife
The blood flows as she cries
The blood flows as she cries

She dragged the knife across her arm again and again, all the while fighting back the sobs that were trying to break through her lips. She finally felt like she'd had enough and went to bandage her arm. On her way to bed, she saw her purity ring on her hand. She took it off and threw it down. She got into bed, curled up into a ball, and cried herself to sleep.

Curled up shes on the floor
Relief left her she had hoped for something more
From it (hoped for something more)
From it
He leans down to comfort her
She is weeping and He
Wraps His arms around
And around and around and...

The deeper you cut
The deeper I hurt
The deeper you cut
It only gets worse

"Hi Mrs. Parker...is Brynna around?"

"She's still asleep, but you are welcome to go upstairs and wake her up, Shane."

He didn't need to be told twice. Shane loved waking her up. His best friend was not a morning person by any definition of the word, so it was fun to try to get her up. But nothing, NOTHING, could have prepared him for what he was going to see this morning. He walked into Brynna's room to a sight that he never wanted to see, especially with Brynna.

Apparently she had been up for a little bit because there was his best friend, the girl he was secretly in love with, curled up on the floor crying. But the things that really bothered him were the bruise around her eye, the bloody knife on the floor next to her, and the bloody marks all over her arms.

"Brynna?" he whispered as he wrapped his arms around her frail body. Just then his knee landed on something hard. He looked down only to see Brynna's purity ring on the floor.

"B, what happened?"

"H-h-he r-ra-raped me" she choked out after a few minutes.

And in that moment, Shane cried. He cried because of the broken girl in his arms. He cried because he didn't understand how anyone can do something like that to such a beautiful girl. But he also cried because of the healed scars he now noticed all over her arms.

"Brynna, how long?" he whispered into her hair

"A year"

"You have to stop Brynna. The deeper you cut, the deeper I'm going to hurt. If you don't stop, this all is just going to get so much worse. Please just stop and let me try and help the girl I love heal"

She stayed in his arms for a while just crying her eyes out and apologizing. When she finally calmed down, Shane picked her up and carried her to her bathroom to clean her up.

Now shes slowly opening...
New eyes...

Then she opened her eyes
And found relief through His life
And put down her knives

Then she opened her life
And found relief through His eyes
And put down
She put down her life

An hour later they were just laying on her bed in each others arms.

"Brynna, please, you can't do this anymore. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you" he whispered into her hair.

She wasn't going to say anything, but then she felt a teardrop hit her head.

"I won't. I've come to realize that I don't need it. This, right here, is what is going to make me better. I finally feel safe, Shane"

Well, that was my first story. Please review and let me know how I did. Even if it's just to say it's complete and utter crap.
