Chapter 1

It was late at night. The Starkids had a really long rehearsal for their new show, and decided to go for a drink to relax. They were all enjoying it, but Lauren, not so much.

"Can we go now Joe?" she begged. Joe was her ride home and her boyfriend, Mark, was probably already really upset that she wasn't home already.

"What's the rush, we just got here Lo!"

"Yeah, but my phone is dead, and I'm afraid Mark will…"

"Lauren, did he threat you again?"

"No, no, he didn't." Lauren lied. The truth was that he threats her every day. Why was she still with him? She was afraid that if she left him, it would be worse. If she just sucked it up and held on, she could control it better; because he didn't just threat her, he threats her friends too. "If I ever see you with those pathetic assholes singing and dancing, I will end their joy." were his exact words. But it wasn't just that. Since Joe had found out that she hit her often, he kept and open eye on them and even paid him a little visit, which resulted in black eyes for Mark and Joe.

"Fine, come on, let's go." Joe said getting up, putting his jacket on, and announced that they were leaving.

"Bye guys, don't forget the rehearsal, tomorrow at three! Don't be late!" Julia screamed.

The two of them left the small bar, and walked to Joe's car. They both got in, and Joe drove off.

"So, what was the excuse you gave the jerk to come to rehearsal today?"

"Movie marathon at Julia's. And he is not a jerk."

"Lauren, he hit you! And I don't feel comfortable you living with him, sharing the same space, he can and will do it again!"

"No he won't okay, he promised he would stop!" she lied again. Lauren knew he was right, but she couldn't say so, or he would freak out again, and it would be even worse.

"How can you still believe in that crap! He is an asshole! You have to break up with him!"

"That's for me to decide okay!" Unfortunately, they arrived at Lauren's apartment. She opened the door, and left the car, not even looking back.

Joe sighed. He couldn't believe the girl he loved was getting hurt and he couldn't do anything to stop it without putting Lauren in a bad position. As he thought this, he noticed something. Lauren left her jacket in the car.

"Lo, you forgot your jacket!" he tried to tell her, but she was already long gone.

"That girl, I swear to god… She is going to be the death of me." He muttered before getting out of the car, locking it, and walking towards Lauren's building.

Lauren and Mark lived in the 4th floor. Joe was going to take the elevator, but it was taken, so he took the stairs. As he got closer to Lauren's floor, he heard screaming. Mark screaming. Lauren screaming. And then a slap sound. This woke him up and he ran upstairs as fast as he possibly could. The apartment door was slightly open, so he walked in. As he did, he saw Lauren lying on the floor, crying. A small amount of blood was staining the white living room carpet. Rage filled Joe up. That was the best punch he had ever given in his life. He was glad he gave it to Mark.
