--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been two days since Cole told Odd about what had been happening to her. She managed to not get it so bad on monday and tuesday. She figuered if she could do this, she could make it to where he might stop hitting her. She didn't have school because it was summer break so she didn't have to worry about teachers. She could hardly ever get her mind off it though and she knew Odd couldn't either.

"You have to tell some adult Cole!" he said to her throwing his hands up as they walked to find Aileta and Yumi.

"But I don't wanna Odd! And you know why!" Cole remarked turning her head to face him.

"I know Co-co but please! What if he gets you so bad you have to go to the hosbital?" he asked her.

"Well, it wont get that bad. I know it wont. It can't! I think my mom is figering it out anyway." Cole said looking away from him. It was no use. Odd knew he couldn't get it into her thick head that she needed to tell someone about it. He would get her so mad at him if he told someone else. He would also feel like a betrayer if he did that. He didn't wanna feel like he betrayed her. Not at all. He hoped that Cole was right and her dad wouldn't go as far as Odd was fearing he would. He also hoped he stop doing that to her. She didn't get a break from it now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After they found Aileta and Yumi they hung out for a while trying to avoid the subject of Coles dad. But Cole left anyway and went to find somebody.

Cole knocked lightly on a door.

"Brandon?" she said as she knocked. A tall blonde haired boy opened the door.

"Hey Coley." he said with a kind smile when he saw her. She smiled back. "Wanna come in?" he asked her. She nodded and walked into his house. "So whats up Coley?" he asked her as she sat down in the living room.

"Nothin' really." She said looking at her hands.

"I heard about what happened. Are...you okay?" he asked her walking closer to her.

"Yeah, don't worry Brand. I'm fine." she said looking up at him. He sat down next to her.

"Is Odd trying to get you to tell an adult about whats been going on?" he asked her. She gave him a funny look.

"Yeah. How'd you know?" she asked. He laughed.

"Cole, I've known Odd almost as long as I have known you. Don't tell me I don't know him too well." Brandon said with a smirk. She smiled and looked back at he hands. "He really cares you know. The only reason he is bugging you about it is he just doesn't want you to be hurt so bad that...well...that it could ruin your live. You don't wanna be hurt so bad that you can't play soccer ever again do you?" She whiped her head up.

"Of course not." she said.

"See, Odd knows you don't want that to happen. He doesn't want you hurt at all. He doesn't want any of his friends to get hurt. You know he doesn't want family to get hurt either and your gunna be his cousin very soon." Brandon said leaning forward a little bit like he always does when he's sitting down and talking to someone next to him.

"Well, sometimes he acts like he cares...a little too much." Cole said.

"Now thats not humanly possiable. Well, at least not to me. The reason he is actting that way is...well, you know. He is a very caring guy. He cares about everybody. And he's actting like he cares for you more then anybody else because you are going through something that can effect your life in such a bad way. He doesn't what that to happen to you..." Brandon said sweetly. She looked at the wall, away from him. "And I don't want that to happen to you either Coie."(A/N: Coie is not a mistake. I didn't miss spell. Its like Co-we, you know. Yeah, I just didn't want ya'll to think I spelt Cole wrong cuz there is only one letter word diffrence...Anyway...) Brandon said quitly while his hand went out and grabbed one of hers. She jumped a little an looked at his hand. He didn't move it when she jumped. He kept it there, like she had for him a few years ago.

/Flashback:

"Oh Coie. I don't get it. Why are people like that?" Brandon asked the young brunett. "They have to be so mean. I didn't do anything to them. I stood up for Yumi and Jane, and those guys couldn't just walk away. They had to win...I didn't even do anything to them except tell them to leave Yumi and Jane alone...And look what it got me..." Brandon looked down at his feet. Cole looked at his face. He had a shinny black eye. His eye was half way open so she couldn't see his neon blue eyes like she usually could. She wanted to see them again and she knew the only way she could was to comfront him.

"Just be happy that it didn't happen to Jane or Yumi. I mean, can you imagen them with one of those?" Cole said to him in a sweet voice. Brandon sighed.

"They never desever something like that. I'm a guy so I guess I should be more ready for stuff like that. But my parents act like they care. Some others are like 'So what? So they beat you up? I don't care.' It's like no one cares." Brandon muttered. Cole reached over and grabbed ahold of his hand.

"I care." she said in a sweet, gentle voice. The one he loved so much. She didn't let go of his hand, and he was glad she didn't. It made him feel a whole lot better. Letting him know that she did care. But he felt more then just that. He felt a flutter in his stomach. It was a new feeling to him, but he liked it...a lot. She smiled at him sweetly, her deep, dark brown eyes twickling. He smiled back. His neon blue eyes metting her dark brown ones.

/End Flashback:

Brandon was 12 when Cole did that and she was 11. Every since that had happened, when he was around Cole he couldn't help but have this warm and light feeling in him. Every time she touched him, he got that fluttering feeling in him. He loved that feeling so much. He loved to be around Cole. She made him feel better and happy no matter what was going on. He wanted her to feel the same way about him. So, just like she had done to make him have that feeling, he did the same.

Cole just stared at his hand. A sweet like emotion was slowly starting to come to her face. 'His hand is so warm...So much solace I feel right now...Whats that feeling in my gut?' She thought, 'Its all light and...I don't know how to descirbe it...So...its like...like there is butterflies in my stomach. I like it.' she thought.

"I really do care Cole...I really do. Just as much as Odd does. I don't wanna see you hurt. Not at all." Brandon said taking a tighter hold on her hand. Cole felt a light burning feeling in her cheeks. 'Oh, no! I can't start liking him can I?' she thought.

"I-I know you care Brandon...A-And thanks for careing." Cole said softly. Brandon smiled more and pulled her into a hug. She hugged him back fulling knowing that he truely cared.

That night, at Coles house, he father was screaming at her for random things she had hardly had anything to do with. He yelled at her as if she was 150 yards away though she was only 3 feet away from him. He had already hit her 5 times for the random things but not one of the 5 hits left a mark this time. Just a small sting and that was it. He yelled on and on and Cole started feeling worse and worse. Her dads day had been bad at work, and it was time for him to take it out on Cole. She, some how, ended up in a corner and was pressing herself as hard as she could against the wall, trying not to get hit again. But, to her dismay, she did get hit again. Her father slaped her after she didn't awnser him as soon as he asked a question and tired to kicked her in the shin but missed. Cole hand moved her leg just a little bit so he'd miss me. Once he did he hit her again, this time leaveing a mark. But it wasn't his hand that left the mark. He hit her and her head went back and hit the wall, giving her a brusie on the back of her head. Her dad yelled at her more but then finally stopped. He left the room they were in and Cole shrunk down to the ground. Tears started rolling freely from her eyes. She cried without making a sound. She was listening to her mom and dad talk. Her mom just got home, so she didn't know what just happened. Cole heard her dad grip at her mom about uhow Cole was a "Bad child" and need tougher disapline.

'Oh like what you do to me isn't tough disapline enough!' she thought. She felt some rage bulid up in her but it didn't reach the top. It never did. For some reason she never could get mad like her dad. She was all to sweet. She could get mad yeah. But not raging mad like some of her friends could or her dad.

She heard her dad yell at her mother about how she needs to be tougher and not so nice to Cole. Her mother kept saying Cole was a sweet girl but her father denyed it. Then she heard something that hurt her more then the hits did.

"She was a mistake! We would be so better off if she lived in a foster home or something! So much better off! We wouldn't have to deal with her! Sometimes, I think she's just a waste of my-our time!" her father yelled. Cole gasped when she heard this. She felt a burning feeling in her chest. '"So much better off!" ' echoed in her head. She got up fast and stood still for a mintue. Then as fast and silently as she could she ran out of the house and down the street.

She didn't know where she was going. She was blinded by tears and emotional pain that she was a little out of it. All she knew was that she was going somewhere that made her feel safe. She didn't know where she was till she was knocking on a door.

"Bradon!" she called. Bu tno one anwsered. 'Wait. Its wedsday. He's at...' she thought. She started running back down the street. She ran two blocks down and finally got to the house she was running to. She banged on the door.

"Open up! Its me! P-Please!" Cole pleaded. The door opened to reveal a blond boy with his hair in one big spike and a purple star brust in the middle of his hair.

"Cole?" Odd said concered. Cole through herself into Odd chest. She cried in his chest. "Co-co whats wrong? Wait, why the hell am I asking that? Come on in more." he said sweetly to her. He pulled her in the house. Odd parents weren't home and neither was his brother or sister. Cole let go of him and looked around. Brandon came around the corner.

"Cole what are you doing here?" he asked her. She didn't anwser him. She just ran into his arms and buried her face into his chest like she did Odd, but she had a tighter hold on Brandon then she did on Odd. Brandon wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. "Coie, whats wrong girl? Tell me what happened." he said sweetly. He touched the back of her head and she winsed. He looked at Odd and nodded. Odd got what he meant. Brandon led her over to the living room and to the couch. Odd went and got some tissues and some ice for the back of Cole's head.

"Coie, please tell me what happened." Brandon whispered to her as he sat down next to her. Odd came back with some tissues and then ice pack.

"Here Cole. Put this behind your head." he told her. She did what he said. He handed her a tissue and she took it from him. "Now Co-co, tell us what happened. Please." Odd pleaded to her. He sat on the other side of Cole. Cole sniffled and wiped her eyes.

"H-He beat me...again..." she said softly. Brandon and Odd looked up at each other. Something passing between them. They both knew what the other was thinking. They were thinking they were gunna kill Coles dad. Not really kill him but, you know what I mean.

"What else? I know they're is more Coie." Brandon said to her. She remembered he dads words. ' "She was a mistake! We would be so better off if she lived in a foster home or something! So much better off! We wouldn't have to deal with her! Sometimes, I think she's just a waste of my-our time!" ' She felt more tears coming to her eyes when she thought about it.

"H-He said...that...I w-was a mis-mistake!" Cole gasped out, "T-That my family w-was better off wi-with out m-me...He s-said that sometimes, he th-thinks that I-I-I'm just a-a-a waste of t-their...t-t-time!" she gasped out more. She was back to crying hard again.

"Oh Co-co, don't listen to him. You're not a waste of time. Not at-." Odd said but he was cut off by Cole.

"You might not think that, b-but h-he does!" Cole spat but not in a nasty way. Odd sighed.

"Coie now. Don't get ugly with us. You're dad was just mad. I know he didn't mean that. He was just in the moment. Don't worry about it." Brandon said put his arms around her and hugging her tight.

"Yeah Coley."(A/N: Oh and this Coley is like Cole-ee. Yeah, I bet you know that already...) Odd said kindly, "You don't have to listen to him when he says stuff like that. He lost his temper. Besides, I bet you're mom doesn't feel that way towards you. And you know darn well we most diffently don't." Cole looked at him. He was smiling at her kindly. He reached forward and touched her shoulder. "Don't listen to him...Please." he said to her. She nodded.

"Now, no more crying Coie. Cheer up. You got both Odd and me here. You could at least smile, so we know that you are okay." Brandon said getting her attention. She looked back at him. He smiled brightly at her, his neon blue eyes getting brighter. She smiled at him, loving the feeling of his eyes on her brown ones. Then she saw his eyes flash. They always did that when he got excited or very happy.

"I'm okay..." Cole muttered. Brandon still had his arms around her but Odd hugged Cole anyway. Brandon let go of her as she hugged Odd back. The phone started ringing and Odd looked back at it.

"I'm gunna go anwser that. Be back in a mintue." he said to his two friends. They nodded as he got up and walked to the kitchen where the main phone was. Brandon wrapped his arms back around Cole and pulled her closer to him. So close that the whole side of her body was pressed against his.

"You sure you're okay Coie?" he whispered in her ear.

"Yeah...I am...I'm just tired..." she yawned.

"Go to sleep if you want. I'll be your pillow, I don't mind." he whispered to her. She smiled and cuddled up next to him. She rested her head on his shoulder and she was out in a matter of seconds. Brandon smiled at her. 'She's so pretty when she sleeps...She's pretty all the time...' he thought. Odd came back into the room and he smiled when he saw Cole.

"Aww Brandon. Do you like her there? Do you feel all warm and fluttery inside?" Odd asked him in a quite teasing voice. Brandon made an annoyed face at Odd.

"Shut up Odd." he said. Odd smiled but then it faded when he looked at Coles faded black eye. "I'm really worried about her..." he muttered.

"Yeah, so am I." Brandon said wrapping his arms more fully around her.

"What he is doing...isn't right...Not at all." Odd said with pain in his voice. Brandon looked up at him.

"I know. I wish she'd just listen to you and do what you said. But you know her. She's as stubberen as a mule sometimes." Brandon sighed. Odd couldn't help but to smile.

"True..." he said. He itched that back of his head. 'Why is her dad doing this to her? Making her suffer like this?' He thought, 'Putting her, not only in phyiscal pain but emotional pain too. Its just...not right...'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20 mintues had passed with just Brandon and Odd sitting there doing nothing while Cole slepted.

"Brandon, she can't stay here." Odd said breaking the silents. "Her parents are gunna find her not in the house, and when she does get home she'll be in bad trouble. Her dad could..." Odd trailed off. Brandon nodded.

"Lets get her up. She has to go home." Brandon said. Brandon gently shook Cole. "Coie, girl, get up. Wake up..." he said softly in her ear. Cole yawned.

"What?" she asked drozily.

"You have to get up and go home." Brandon said, "You don't want your dad real mad do you?" he asked her. She shook her head. She sat up and pulled herself out of Brandons arms.

"Come on." Odd said motioning them to the door. "We better hurry." The other two nodded and headed out.

On the way home, Cole pondered something again, something she had pondered many times before.

Why was her father doing that? Was it to make her stronger? To make her wiser? To help her in the future? Was it to make her stronger for something that was going to happen in the future? She wasn't really sure. But she hoped it was to make her something better, not something worse. She really just wished for it to stop. Little did Cole know, that what her father was doing to her was going to make her stronger. Stronger to help somebody who has helped her in the near future. It would make her stronger enough for her to possiable save one of her closest friends life. But she didn't know something like that was going to happen. She didn't know that not even two months would pass intill she needed that streght, that streght she was already gaining. Little did she know...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Odd and Brandon made sure Cole made it in the house without getting caught they walked straight on back to Odds house. Odd pondered the same thing Cole had on the way to her house. He himself thought that things couldn't be any tougher then things were now. Nothing could make him feel worse then the way he felt. But Odd didn't know that his life was about to get tougher. It was only going to get tougher in less then two months...
