Another one hopefully soon.

"Please?" she whispers, her eye swelling, blood pouring from her nose, and her arm bent at an odd angle. "Please don't do this." But he's drunk.
"Yer used magic! I don care who fer, yer used it." He slaps her, and my mother collapses. My father spins around quickly and grabs my neck, strangling me.
"Yer no bedder wid yer magic. An yer scrawny, an weak. No un will ever love you, you pathetic excuse fera son!" He stumbles and lets go of me as he falls, and I run before he can hit me, and insult me more. I leave my mother by herself.
I run straight to Lily's house, and throw a rock at her window. A few minutes later...
"Sev?"
"Please let me in." she must hear the desperation in my voice, because, still unseen, she sends down a jump rope, which I struggle to climb up. I climb through her window, and only now does she see that I'm crying, and that I have fresh bruises around my neck.
"Oh Sev..." she looks on the verge of tears, "what happened?"
"My dad, saw magic, hit her, then me, I left, I-I ran-" I gasp that out before no longer being able to continue because I'm crying so hard. I left my mother by herself, and Lily knew it now.
"Sev, you did the right thing. You can't go home now, you'll have to stay with me." she gestures to her bed. "There's enough room for two." I'm glad it's dark, because I'm blushing through my tears. I hesitantly climb into her bed. Lily gets in as well.
I'm practically hanging off the end of the bed, trying not to touch her. But she grabs my hand, and pulls me a little more onto the bed. She takes her other hand and brushes the tears from my eyes. Her hair splays out around us, and her green eyes still shine out in the dark.
"You're so pretty Lily." I blurt out quietly, then try not to gasp at what I've just said. How could I? I'll be sent out of her house, to face my father-" She smiles and squeezes my hand. She strokes my hair until I fall into a peaceful sleep.
