A/N: Hello! Thanks for the reviews! Here is the next chapter, enjoy!


I find it hard to trust

Not only me,

But everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid


I sat in the passenger seat of the car, as my dad yelled at me. The words echoing inside my head,

"Why the hell did you make me come get you?" he yelled, the tears in my eyes fell harder, as I shut my eyes tightly, trying to forget. "Don't ignore me!" he yelled, slapping me hard on the arm. I winced at the pain.

"I'm sorry--the nurse made me…" I whispered. He slapped me again, as we pulled up in the driveway. I unbuckled my seatbelt, and just sat there. I didn't want to get out of the car and face whatever my dad had planned for me. I just wanted to escape the nightmare called my life. I heard the door open, but I didn't turn my head. My dad's hand grabbed my shirt and yanked me out of the car. I landed hard on the cement of my driveway; I couldn't help the tears that escaped from my eyes. My dad kicked me hard in the stomach, making the pain worse. I sat up on the cement, rubbing my arm. I felt a thick liquid, looking down to see my arm covered in thick, red blood. I closed my eyes, hoping that when I opened them that the blood would be gone, that it wasn't even real, but when I opened my eyes, all I saw was more blooding oozing out of the gash in my arm.

"Get inside now!" my dad yelled, as he stormed inside. I got up and walked into the house. When I walked into the living room, my dad was standing there; he was holding a glass vase. I stared at him as he lifted the vase up and threw it across the room; I ducked as the vase flew right over the top of me, hitting the wall and shattering into a million pieces. I walked up to me and slammed me against the wall. He slapped me across the face countless times. I was crying uncontrollably now. My body was screaming with pain. All I wanted was to get out of this place. Get out of this nightmare. Get out of this life.

My dad let go of me and let me fall to the floor. He walked out of the house, slamming the door behind him. I listened as the car drove away. I let the scream that was growing inside of me go, it echoed around the house. The tears burned my face, my body was aching, and my heart was breaking. I pulled my knees close to my body and cried more, my body shaking uncontrollably.


I walked towards my locker, my body aching with each step I took.

"Caitlyn!" I heard a voice yell, I tried to ignore it, not wanting to talk to anyone. "Caitlyn!" the voice yelled again. I sighed and turned around to see Danny running towards me. I closed my eyes, and sighed. I knew exactly what he wanted. He wanted to know what was going on yesterday.

"Hey" he said, as he started to walk beside me, I nodded at him, "is everything okay?" he asked,

"Yeah" I whispered, he looked down at me, his intense blue eyes tearing through the lie.

"What happened yesterday?" he asked softly.

"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to act confused, which obviously didn't work.

"You know what I mean…I saw what happened when your dad picked you up…" he said, grabbing my arm, making me stop. I looked up at him, he wasn't smiling, he looked serious, I looked down at my shoes, "Caitlyn…"

"Nothing that concerns you, Danny" I said, as I started to walk off again.

"I know we hardly know each other, but something's going on…and if you can't talk to anyone then you are going to feel more alone. You need to be able to talk to someone, you need to trust someone…" he said, I turned and looked at him

"Just leave me alone Danny" I said, walking away from him.


There you go! Hope you liked it! Review, please!
