"Hey Miles!" my new boyfriend, Brian, said as he sat at my table at lunch. He kissed me on the cheek. "So, what do you want to do tonight?"
"Um, I don't know go to a movie or something, I guess." We've only been dating about a week, but he really likes to hang out. I still kinda want to date Jake, but he left for Romania about a month ago and won't be back for another three months.
"Ok, but I was thinking more of coming to my house, my parents are gone for the weekend." Brian likes to get me alone where there's not of anyone else seeing us. That's when it happens, he changes, he'll be all over me one second, but then he'll be mad at me. When we're anywhere where his friends can see us he's really great, he'll hold things for me, he'll hug me, and just be the great boyfriend he's supposed to be. When we're alone, he's different, I just don't know him when we're alone. He doesn't look at me right. He looks at me like I'm the worst person he's ever seen. He even hits me sometimes, and he's tried to rape me a few times too. I would break up with him and tell someone, but he said that if I did he'd kill me.
"But Miley! I thought we were gonna have a sleepover tonight?" my best friend, Lilly, said whining. You see, I told her what Brian does to me, but Brian doesn't know that, and he never will. I secretly winked at Lilly, thanking her for the excuse to get away from Brian.
"Oh yeah! Sorry Brian, is it ok if I hang out with Lilly tonight? You can hang with Oliver." Oliver nodded. He really likes Brian, if he knew the truth he wouldn't.
"Yeah, I guess, are you free tomorrow night?" Brian asked me hopefully.
I have a Hannah concert, what am I supposed to tell him? He doesn't know I'm Hannah. "Well, um, I'm kinda busy all this weekend. I've got family things. Sorry." I cringe expecting to get hit.
"Oh that's ok. Just promise me we can hang out sometime." Oh yeah, I forgot there's people here, he can't hurt me.
"Yeah, meet me at Rico's on Sunday afternoon. Maybe you can give me another surfing lesson?" He's not all bad, I just have to make sure there's other people there. If I can find out why he's like he is maybe I can help him.
Just then the bell rang telling us it was time to go to class. "Ok, see you after school!" He got up and then took my hand helping me up.
"Thank you Brian." I hug him and he kisses my cheek. How is the same person who hits me?
He gently kissed me and then we went our separate ways. "Thanks for the save Lilly! But now you really have to come over. He might call to make sure it wasn't a lie. So can you come over?"
"Yeah, I can. See you during biology Miles!" with that she walked to English while I went to Geometry. I'm dreading seeing Brian after school.
