Sayori had seen some things she shouldn't have, but most worryingly she seemed to still be in shock. I had never told her why I had all those scars on my back.

"Where did you learn that?" she sputtered

"Dad used to bring people over, and I had to fight them." I answered with my head down, "If I lost he would beat me. If I won he would beat me anyway."

"Can I see your scars again?"

"Sure."

When we reached the house, and got inside I took off my shirt and let her look at my back.

"Turn around."

I did as she said and she looked in awe at the scars that covered my chest and stomach. She seemed almost sorry as she stared at my long healed wounds.

"I'm so sorry."

"What is there to be sorry about?"

"I should have known. I really am worthless."

"Hay!"

Before I could speak Sayori ran out of my house and into hers. I, still shirtless run over and open her door. It was dark and the only light was that from Sayori's bedroom. Once I was inside I saw Sayori in the fetal position on her bed. every so often she would sob or sniffle. I approached without a sound and sat on the bed.

"Sayori, come here."

"Go away, this is my punishment."

"come here or I come to you."

"Go away."

I grabbed Sayori and pulled her to my side of the bed. She continued to cry. I then sat against a wall with Sayori next to me.

"What did that girl say?"

"She said that I should kill myself because if I didn't I would drag everyone I know down with me. She also said that if I don't stop talking to you she'll kill you and me."

"Well, Sayori if I have to be dragged down then it will be at your side got me?"

She nods and puts her head in my lap. As time passed I started to daydream. I saw that girl in my daydream. I was going to find her and make her pay for touching my Sayori. I was going to break every bone in her miserable body. then I was going to let them set right before breaking them again. I was going to put this girl through hell, and pull her out at the last moment before pushing her right back. there wasn't a bone in my body willing to show mercy.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Natsuki's number. when she answered she sounded tired, "Hey can you be at Sayori's place in five minutes?"

"What? Lino it's like 10 at night."

"See you then Natsuki."

I realized I still had no shirt on and it was probable in my house. This was going to be interesting.

"Hay, door was unlocked so I let- SWEET BABES PUT ON A SHIRT!"

"She's asleep. could do me a favor and grab my shirt from my house."

"yes, but then we talk about what ever this is."

"You got it."

Natsuki tossed my shirt to me. without thinking I stud up and turned to face Sayori giving Natsuki a view of the bulk of my scars. When I heard Natsuki chocking on her words I spun to see he eyes wide and frightened.

"What did you see?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"That Bruise, and the scars."

"Sayori knows, but that's about all who I want to know ok."

"Yeah."

"Now, I need some info."

"Cherry blonde, tall as Sayori, bully, and top of my shit list."

"Yamashita. she bullies me, Yuri, and Sayori."

"well, she slapped Sayori, thretaned to kill me, and told her to kill herself."

"then who hit you?"

"Must be from last night."

"Don't tell Sayori about this ok."

"Yeah. So where did you get the scars?"

"Father."

"You show me yours I show you mine."

(view point change) P.O.V= Natsuki

I so desperately wanted to tell someone about what happened to me as a child, but nobody knows how it felt. Until I saw Lino with his shirt of. we both rolled up are shirts and talked about our scars like two girls take about how hot the most popular guy in school is.

"Lino, what's the last thing you did as a family?"

"In the car listening to music when I was seven."

"I was at the park."

"You know what, why don't we go visit my mother. Call it a birthday surprise."

"Sure, can't see the trouble in that."

"Hay, sorry for calling you out so late."

POV=Lino

As Natsuki left I went back to Sayori's room and went to sleep.

I woke up and saw Sayori in her swivel chair looking at videos on YouTube. I strode over and picked her up. she was surprised but eventually wrapped her legs around my hips and insisted we eat breakfast. at around ten I got a call from Natsuki saying she was going to be at my house in 20.

"Hay, Sayori."

"Hm?"

"Do you want to come with me and Natsuki, and go visit my Mother?"

"Sure."

We ate and then waited for Natsuki to arrive, and when she did we walked for a bit before we stopped by a flower shop.

"I'll be right back."

POV=Sayori

I turn to Natsuki and we started to talk about Lino. We were talking about what he did for me at the mall when she asked about his scars.

"you know?"

"Yeah, he got up and turned around without his shirt on and I saw them."

"I think the scars and him benching 250 makes him look super hot."

"Damn, Sayori I knew he was ripped but not 250."

"Yeah, he dose a good job hiding it."

"Who said I was trying to hide." Lino said well leaning against the wall of the flower shop. "I'm just not an exhibitionist."

POV=Lino

We walked to the hospital and checked in with the lady at the front desk. I could tell Sayori was glad to see my mother. Sayori was one of the few people who knew what happened after the accident. We walked to one of the rooms on the fifth floor and enter.

"there she is."

After our car accident my mother wound up in a coma here for about 5 years. when she woke the doctors said she had seizures. One night 2 years ago she slipped into another coma and has been here ever since.

"She's beautiful." Said Natsuki

"yeah. Only thing was my father was destroyed and he started to, well you saw what he did."
