Ryan's Prospective:

I walked into my house after my date with Kelsi Nielson, whistling the song she wrote last year. The one my sister talked mom, and dad into re writing the music to, and of course she got her way, Miss Sharpay, always gets her way. Only reason why I agreed to do the long like that with her was because, well honestly I don't know.

"Hey Ryan, what are you doing home?" My sister came out of her room, fastening up her blouse, and fixing her hair, looking embarrassed.

I smiled at my sister, and looked at her shut door, "Hiding something?"

She rolled her eyes, "Not from you, I just heard the front door open, and thought it was the parents."

I patted her shoulder, and walked to her door, "Goodnight Zeke."

Zeke, who was on the basketball team at the high school, came out in his jersey, he rubbed the back of his head, and nodded, "Ryan."

My sister was staring at her boyfriend, "My brother went out on a date with Kelsi Nielson," she smiled at me, "Did you get to see where she lives?"

Zeke looked at my sister, "She is two houses away from my house," he shook his head, as he wrapped an arm around my sisters waist, "A lot of yelling is heard from that house."

"Yelling?" I crossed my arms, and stared Zeke.

"Yeah, a lot of noises, and yelling," He looked at me, then at my sister, "Hey sugar, can you please get me a bottle of soda?"

She looked at me, then at him, and walked away, "Sure," She started to mumble, "When did I turn into a waitress?"

He looked at me, "I don't think she is as clumsy as she tells people she is?"

"Why did you say that?" I leaned against the wall, and stared at Zeke.

"Well one night I heard crashing sound from there house while walking around, and a girl scream. The next day walking to school, I saw her, when I caught up to her she had swollen lip," He paused, "I asked her about it, and she said she bumped into something."

"Thank you," I went into my room, when my sister came back up, Goodnight, you two," I laid on my bed, and thought about Kelsi.

The Next Day At School

I sat inside the auditorium and waited for Kelsi, knowing this was where she usually came in the morning, I wasn't use to being at school this early, heard some noises from the stage, and started to look around. "Kelsi?"

Gabriella, who was on the drama team, and the science team came out from behind the curtain, she looked surprised to see me, "Hey Ryan."

"Hi Ryan," Troy came up behind her, "Kelsi, she was by her locker when I got here."

I hurried out of the auditorium, to where Kelsi's locker was, I smiled when I spotted her, "Hey, how you doing, doll?"

She turned and looked at me, with tears in her eyes.

I saw she had a bruise on her chin, and her hand was up in a sling. I pulled her into my arms gently, and held her to my chest.

I had known Kelsi since she was in fifth grade, and I was in sixth, her, and my sister use to play all the time together. I remember when I first realized she wasn't a little girl anymore last year.

Sharpay came around the corner, holding a bottle of water, she looked surprised to see me, "Ryan, here is some water for her to drink," she her friends back gently, the looked at me, "I'm taking her to the school nurse Ryan."

"I'll go with you," I let my sister wrap my girlfriend in her arm, and walk with her, as I walked on the other side of Kelsi, holding her hand.

Kelsi's Prospective:

I wish everyone wouldn't stare at me, I hate being stared at, I sat between Ryan, and Sharpay, as I waited for the school nurse to come check me out.

Ryan looked at his sister, "I'm just going to take her to the hospital."

"No you can't," I shook my head.

"They could help," Ryan looked at me confused, "Can't they."

"They will call my dad," I looked at Sharpay.

"So will the school nurse," Ryan looked at me confused.

"Yeah, but they don't come with a big bill," I watched as students came in, and out of the office.

The school principal came out of the nurses office, and looked at me, "Miss Nielson, please come into the room, please."

I looked at Sharpay, and Ryan, "Can they come in with me please?"

The principle shook her head, "When Mrs. Evans, and Mr. Evans come, they could."

Ryan's Prospective:

After Kelsi, and the principle went into the nurses office, I looked at my sister confused, "Why our parents coming?"

My sister rolled her eyes, "Hello, where have you been for the last six years. Mom, and dad are on her emergency list. I use to be on there's until Mrs. Nielson passed away."

"Have mom and dad been called down for her before?" I watched for them as I sat on the bench waiting.

"No, because I could never talk Kelsi to go to the school nurse before," My sister jumped up when she saw mom coming, "Where is dad?"

"He is with a client right now," Mom looked around, "Is Kelsi already in with the principle?"

I stood behind my mom, as she opened the office door, then sat next to the wall as Sharpay, and mom sat on both sides of my girlfriend.

The principle leaned across, the table, "Mrs. Evans, I assume the police have child services contacted you as you wished a couple months ago if anything happened with Kelsi, and they talked to you about her staying with your family until further notice?"

"Yes, and my husband is working on setting up a court day, so that we could see about keeping her out of the dangerous environment," Mom wrapped her arm around Kelsi's shoulder, and looked at her, "You will stay with us, my dear."

I wanted to reach across and pull Kelsi into a hug, but thought I should probably not for now.

Mom turned and looked at me, "Can you take your sister, and Kelsi to the house, and make her comfortable, while I finish talking to the principle, and nurse?"

I stood to my feet, "Mom, we have school."

"Son, school has been out since 2:45pm," Mom looked at my sister, "You two girls make sure he doesn't fall asleep on the way home."
