It's kinda shortish, but it's awesometabulish.

"Max," Nudge said, eyes not moving from my stomach. I yanked my sweatshirt down. "What happened?"

"Nothing," I said hoping they'd just let it go.

"Max, does Ari hit you?"(AN- BTW I meant to say Ari right there) Iggy asked, disgust coating his voice.

"Not Ari," I said in a small voice.

"Sam?" Angel asked.

I looked away. I knew something like this would happen. Why didn't I just say no to Ari? Oh right, I wanted friends. I suddenly felt three sets of arms wrapped around me and three hands awkwardly patting my back.

"Max, do you have a shirt on under you're sweatshirt?" Ella asked. What kind of question was that? I nodded. "Take your sweatshirt off!" Ella ordered. She probably just wanted to see what Sam had done to me. Her, Angel and Nudge stopped hugging me and the boys stopped patting my back. Thank God. It was getting awkward. I slowly pulled my sweatshirt off, wincing as my arms bumped together.

I heard five loud gasps. And one quiet gasp. That would be Fang.

"Oh my God, Max! That's so terrible! Why do you let him to that? You can't let him push you around li-," Nudge's little rant was cut off by Gazzy's hand.

"It's nothing."

"NOTHING?" Fang yelled, surprising the others and just downright scaring me. He noticed our expressions and calmed down a little. " All you see is bruises. How long has this been going on?" He yelled, but not as loud.

"Two years," I answered in a small voice. And, as much as I trying to stop it, my voice cracked. Tears that had been held in for four years, since my father's death, came running down my face. Ella pulled me into another hug.

"That's why he never brought you to meet us," Iggy said. I nodded.

"He was really nice in the beginning. About three months into our relationship he started coming over to my house. Either drunk or stoned. He decided he wanted sex. I wasn't ready. I'm still not." I started to sob.

"Was that him on the phone?" Gazzy asked, almost cautiously. He was trying not to make me cry anymore.

I nodded and said," H-he's dr-drunk or high. I don't know."

"Max, you have to break up with him on Monday. We'll be there to make sure he doesn't hurt you. I promise." The others nodded, agreeing with Iggy's words.

"Thank you." I said smiling. I finally had someone to turn to.

It was shortish, but they finally found out. BTW- The story is so not over when Max breaks up with Sam. There is way more to come. Some of Fang's past, some of Max's past. JJ appears and so does Total. Song suggestion is Coffee Shop Soundtrack by All Time Low. The music video is awesome.
