Angels P.O.V
He was so cute, how could I even say anything to him, he probably didn't want anything to do with me; he probably had a girlfriend back wherever he came from. He looked like he wanted to talk to back in math but I couldn't let him, I can't fall for this guy at all my brother would ruin everything what if he found out and hurt him I couldn't live with myself if he got hurt because of me. Next class was pretty boring then it was physically education I hated that class more than anything mostly because I always had bruises I had to hide but I could work out now I didn't have many on my legs and if I do I could just say I fell or something my legs were least of my worries, my arms though that was another story, some looked like I have been grabbed to hard which I have but they were subsiding I could do this, so I changed and was out there and noticed the new kid was in my P.E class as well probably because his last name was an M like me. Maybe I'll be able to talk to him this time, I mean we could be friends that wasn't a bad thing right. We were all sitting on the benches when Serena walked up to me, "so what do you think of the new guy he has potential huh." I looked at her great she likes him too "I mean he does have that skater boy style that you like." Oh she was talking about me "I don't know S, I can't afford to like anyone right now my brother might ki… never mind." She just looked at me weird "what do you mean you use to tell your brother all about the guys you liked he was protective but he never got in your business A." "Yeah you're right it's just he's changed and he just doesn't listen anymore." "Well you could just talk to him he is very cute angel just try." "But what do I even say S I mean what if he has a girlfriend and he thinks I'm weird and yeah." Serena looked at me "You like this guy, don't you?" I looked at her and smiled. "Oh Angel just talk to him or maybe I can talk to him first and get his deal and then give you the 411." "You truly are the best friend anyone can ask for." I hugged her. Well let's get to this lame class and I'll see what I can do" she smiled and we started stretching, we were going to be running today. I kind of love running it gets my stress out, and I was pretty good at it, I saw Serena run up to Oliver and she was doing her thing then she looked at him like she did me and I was confused what did that mean did he like someone else, did he have a girlfriend. Oh well I thought I just kept running when I felt a tap on my shoulder, it was Aiden I really hated this kid "hello my darling angel another year of P.E together I love it." He said I just rolled my eyes he grabbed my arm and stopped us "this is the year Angel you're going to be mine and I'm going to deflower your virgin angel self, then I looked at him and slapped him so hard everyone looked back at us, Serena came running to us "you better get lost creep or I will tell everyone your little secret at Simon's party this summer." She smiled all evil and Aiden walked away, more like ran away. Miss Miller can you please come over here now, Coach Rancho called great I'm probably going to get detention now. I walked over to the coach "look Coach R I'm sorry" he interrupted me "what was that about?" he said with a huge smile. "I've known you for about two years now Angel and I've never seen that from you, good for you," he finished and walked away Serena came up to me "what was that about?" I think he just thanked me for smacking Aiden." "Eh that foo needed it" we both laughed real hard and then she got serious "Angel I think Oliver likes you." She said with a huge grin "how do you know?" I asked her well I was talking to him and I got that vibe well you know the same one I got from you and I was going to ask him but then I saw the whole scene with you and Aiden and I needed to know what that creep was up too. "But Angel you should really talk to him, he wants to talk to you he said he wanted to this morning but it seemed like you didn't want to so he didn't want to bug you in class." I looked at her real embarrassed I didn't know how to talk to him truthfully "but how S he is so cute and way out of my league" "Hun when are you going to realize you are beautiful." I smiled at her "okay I'm going to do it." I walked up to Oliver he was drinking water from a water bottle he had I couldn't even get a word out before he talked first "Hi, my name is Oliver." He smiled "I know, I mean hi nice to meet you I'm Angel." I said with a smile as well "I know," he said with a huge smirk god he was so cute.
Oliver's P.O.V
It was P.E time and she was there in my class again I was happy because this time I was going to talk to her and I wasn't going to worry about anything else. So we were all running I was going to run the lap and run by her but before I could even get around I felt a tap on my shoulder, this blonde comes up to me and starts talking so fast I had to say huh a couple times, "hi my name is Serena, I know you probably heard about me." I seriously thought she was going to start flirting with me which I didn't want her too in front of the girl because I didn't want her to think I was talking to anyone. But then she asked me a couple questions "so do you have a girlfriend because I have the most beautiful best friend in the world and I know if you talk to her you will really like her." Then she pointed to the girl who I really wanted to talk to all morning I stared at her she was even more beautiful than ever her hair was pulled up and she looked so cute and frigid in the P.E uniforms. Then Serena looked at me all weird and I knew she knew what I was looking at "her name is Angel, lover boy." She smiled all big. Then we both heard a slap and looked straight at her some guy was all pisst and looked like he was going to hurt her, me and Serena both moved but she got there first and said something to him he looked scared and then ran away. The Coach called her and she looked scared, but then he smiled and she looked surprise Serena went up to her and started talking , I walked to the bench and grabbed my water bottle I brought out with us I finished drinking and saw Angel right in front of me, I almost dropped the bottle because I couldn't believe she was in front of me this was it we were going to talk and then I blurted out hi and my name and she said she knew that made me happy that she knew who I was, then she told me her name and I told her I knew with a smirk. I couldn't be any more happier then I was at this moment this girl made me feel things I didn't know I could I've had girlfriends before but they weren't anything special like Angel. "So where did you move from?" she asked me I came back from my daze and told her "well I lived here in Idaho but me and my mom moved from Boise." "oh nice its more town then Meridian huh?" she asked me "well it's pretty much the same, maybe if you want we can take a trip over there and go downtown." Then she looked kind of scared and looked down. I questioned myself did I move to fast did I do something wrong.
Angel's P.O.V
I was so happy we were talking, then he asked me out and everything came crashing down. "Well it's pretty much the same, maybe if you want we can take a trip over there and go downtown." I looked at him scared I really, really wanted too "um maybe I will let you know here." I pulled out my favorite pen I keep with me everywhere and wrote my cell number in his hand "text me." I told him with a smile to reassure him that I really wanted too. I saw his face lighten up and then the 5 min bell rang for us to go get changed. I smiled at him and walked to Serena who was smiling so huge "so what happened?" she asked "well he asked me out." "And what did you say, well?" "I told him I would let him know." Her face fell "oh Angel why didn't you just say yes." "Serena Can I trust you with my life, with everything that I tell you not to tell anyone in the world and if you do I could never forgive you." "yes angel what is it, what's wrong you can tell me anything I promise with my life, you can trust me Angel I promise no I swear." I looked at her I was so scared I didn't know if I could tell her what was going on with me if she would go to the cops. "Okay meet me after school in our spot okay." She looked at me with disappointment and then added that she had something to tell me too. When me and Serena were younger we found this spot in the park, it was beautiful Everything shined in the sun, it looked like diamonds were on the tree's on the benches even on the playground, you would think people would know where it's at because there is a playground but we've never seen anyone there, we camped out there once and still no one came. We told nobody about this place, even when Serena wanted to party I told her to swear not to tell anyone because I knew they would ruin it. So she didn't we've been best friends since kindergarten and I've trusted her with everything, and my life. The rest of the day went by pretty slow I only had two classes with Oliver, I was hoping to have more but I guess not. The bell rang for the end of the day and I had a ton of homework. And I just wanted to tell Serena and go home and take a nap I was exhausted and I'm sure my brother wouldn't be home until midnight, so I headed to mine and Serena's place she was already there waiting for me with a sick look on her face like she was going to break apart any min, I knew something was wrong so I thought I would listen to her first. I Ran to her "Serena what is it?" "Angel I'm Pregnant." And she just started to cry I didn't know what to say I just held her there and brushed her hair back "are you sure?" I asked her she just nodded her head "My mom took me to the clinic this week, she was mad but at least she didn't kick me out or hate me or anything, it's just my dad he is going to kill me and I can't be a mom, I don't even know how to take care of my cousins at times I'm scared angel I'm really scared." She blurted that out so fast I just stood there and I told her what any best friend should tell her "Serena listen to me okay I'm going to be here for you no matter what you decide and if you need me to be the baby's daddy I will." I said with a smile and continued "also I want you to know that you can do anything baby girl you know that, I've told you many times that no matter what you are truly amazing and you are a strong and a kind hearted person you can be anyone you want to be and you know what if I had a mother I would definitely want her to be you." She hugged me so hard when I finished I couldn't breathe. "Angel are you okay what did you want to tell me." "Wait who's the father?" Serena Looked down then I realized what she said at P.E this afternoon "No S Not Aiden." "It wasn't my fault A, look if I tell you this you have to promise not to go to the police please, me and my mom are dealing with it, but Aiden had put something in my drink that night and then all I remember is waking up next to him I thought I had gotten drunk and did something stupid but then I realized I didn't even drink a lot that night." I looked at her and got really sad I had to tell her now I knew her secret now I had to tell her mine "Serena look at me okay I'm going to tell you this because your my best friend and because you put faith in me to keep your secret as well." She looked at me and perked up she loved listening to people's problems it took her away from hers "The reason I couldn't go out this past summer or the last summer before that was because of my brother he has been hitting me, it's been okay lately because he has been working and not drinking but sometimes it gets really bad." I looked down then looked back at Serena to see what she was thinking "Oh A I'm so sorry, what are you going to do, I promised I wouldn't say anything but if it gets any worse don't you think you should say something, what if he really hurts you, or worse kills you?" I looked at her I never really thought about that "I don't know S I haven't really thought about that, all I know is that I don't want to say anything because he is the only family I have and if anything happens to him I could go into a home or something and taken away from you and I really don't want that, so you have to promise to not say anything to anyone please." She looked at me a little hurt "Angel I promise you I won't say anything to anyone if you don't say anything to anyone okay? Deal?" "Okay Deal." We both hugged each other pretty hard and then headed home, I had an hour or two to take a nap and then get to my loads of homework I had. Once I got home I was heading to my room when as soon as I walked in, the door swung in my face so hard I didn't have time to stop it, it hit my forehead pretty hard, thank god it didn't hit my nose, I flew back on the floor. "You Stupid Little Shit!" "Francisco what did I do now?" He looked at me and I could tell he was drunk already "Where were you, were you out partying on your first day of school Angel." I looked at him like are you serious "Francisco I was with Serena, we were talking I swear I didn't do anything." I couldn't even finish he kicked me in the stomach hard "whatever your nothing but a disappointment Angel stay in your room all night I don't want to hear you, actually you know what I'm going out I won't be home till morning goodbye." I got up "Francisco please you shouldn't be driving right now just stay okay I'll stay in my room, I promise just pl." again I couldn't finish he hit me in the face I could taste the blood in my mouth "Don't you ever tell me what to do again you little bitch, you're not mom she's gone just like you will be if you tell me to do something ever again." He stomped downstairs I could see that he wiped his eyes before he left, I knew I hit a nerve somehow asking him to stay reminded him of that night. I stayed on the floor for a little bit and tried to gather everything that happened just now, I told Serena it wasn't that bad and now look I'm on the floor with a bloody mouth probably bruised ribs and I haven't checked my head I'm scared what it looks like. So I got up and got the wind knocked out of me again, my ribs really hurt this time, I walked as slow as I could to my room and laid on my bed. I really don't know what was wrong with Francisco why he was doing this to me, why he couldn't just take it out on something else. I just couldn't take it anymore I got up and felt more pain, I grabbed my laptop and my backpack and then felt my phone go off in my backpack, I looked at it, it was from a number I didn't recognize
208-567-0897

OLIVER_M
oh well lucky you, so about me asking you out today I'm sorry if it was too soon I just wanted to hang out with you more
I looked at the phone and couldn't help but smile, this guy was really sweet. I would hang out with him tonight since my brother wasn't going to be home but I knew I couldn't, I probably looked horrible and I felt horrible too. But maybe just maybe I will try one of these days.
