"If I ever get my hands on him, I swear, he'll be sorry that it wasn't hard enough, that litte -"

"Yeah, I know Beck. I feel the same way." I stood and went over to Jade. "Sit down, it'll be fine," I said, reassuringly. Jade sat and thought, her head in her hands.

"I am a terrible person, and I know I am, but I had to defend myself, right?" She shook her head. "No, no I didn't. I should've just got hit, I mean I deserve it,"

"Nobody deserves that, Jade. I promise you, I for one," I started, looking at Beck with a glare. "Won't let anything happen to you," Jade laughed dryly.

"Yeah. Your "daddy's" here to protect you," I smiled, rubbing her thin arm warily. No wonder she cries.

"I've made such a mess," She cried, breathing out heavily. "I couldn't believe it when he hit me for the fist time, I really couldn't." Neither could I...

Flash back

It was ten fifteen in the morning and Beck had gone to school, leaving me alone in the basment.

I was writing in my diary, mostly nonsense. But I was happy enough, until Beck's father came in, shouting and swearing at me.

"I'll kill that boy! Where is he?" He shouted at me. "Being nice to you, and telling me that I was evil, evil!"

"Don't hurt Beck," I said, my eyes pleading. Then I got an idea. "Hurt me instead!" I cried. His evil smile was tinted by the yellow colour his teeth had turned by cigarettes and his laugh was gruff.

"Okay, if you want, little missy." He came closer and with every step he took it seemed to make my heart beat faster.

Then he grabbed my throat and shook me so I was dizzy. I felt really sick and I realized that he was going to try and actually kill me. He wasn't kidding. So he grabbed a knife and -

"Cat! Cat?" I got snapped out of my flash back as Beck was callling my name.

"What?" I said sharply. I was always a little on guard and snappy when I'd had that flash back. Finished or not.

"I'm just going to get Jade some water, she's shaking." Beck said, warily. I never told him what happened and I'm certainly not telling him I have regular flash backs.

"Oh, okay..I'll stay with her."

Beck's POV.

I went to my bedroom as there's bottled water out there and I looked out of the window at them. Jade was sitting on the swing. Her tears were falling to the ground and her hair was falling was over her shoulders.

"It was her...Jade's her!"
