so this one shot is a little bit of a combination of requests. I've been getting a lot of requests to do a one-shot of Davina getting bullied and coming home with bruises and ones where she has an abusive boyfriend. i've decided to combine the ideas because i have a similar idea for each request. i tried to include what everyone wanted and i hope you all enjoy it.

Parents- BenxMal

Child- Davina

Age of Child- 15


A few months ago, Davina finally got a boyfriend. His name was Eric and he was everything a girl could dream for. He was sweet and understanding. He was always surprising Davina with roses and chocolate. He was there for her when she needed him and Davina couldn't have been more happy. That is, until a few weeks ago when Eric... changed. He got mad at her for no reason and would say some really hurtful things. He'd snap at her and yell at her in front of everyone at school. At times he'd even give her a slap or two. He'd say he was sorry and Davina accepted it, not wanting to loose the one person who cared about.

I know what you're thinking. What about Davina's parents? Well, at that point in time, Davina didn't think they cared that much about her. Her mother had given birth to her younger brother Riley a month or so before and he had most of their parent's attention. Davina tried to act like it didn't bother her, she was a teenager after all, but she was still their kid and she craved attention like any other child. So Davina dealt with Eric's odd behavior and didn't tell a soul. Today, however, Davina reached her breaking point.

She was at her locker for the last period of the day and was putting away some books before walking home. She placed the last book away and closed her locker to find Eric standing there.

"H-hey Eric," Davina said, a certain shake to her voice due to the nerves the boy caused her.

"Hey babe, so you wanna do dinner tonight?" he asked, giving her a smile.

"I would love to baby, but I c-can't tonight," Davina said, not looking Eric's eyes. His face turned from a happy one to one of darkness.

"Why not?" he asked, an edge to his voice.

"I p-promised my p-parents I would go to s-some royal dinner tonight. I can't g-get out of it, I'm s-sorry," Davina said, scared of what would come next.

"Oh, so your parents are more important then me? The parents who don't love you are more important then the guy who gives you everything!" Eric exploded.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do," Davina said, fear growing inside of her. The next thing she knew, Eric's hand was hitting her cheek hard. She could feel some cuts on her face from his rings. That'd be hard to cover up. Next thing she knew, his fist was connecting with her lip. She could taste the blood. He slapped her again and then pushed her to the floor. Davina fell in an awkward position and could hear her wrist snap.

"Remember next time, I always come first," Eric said before walking away. When she was certain that he was gone, she stood up and ran to the nearest bathroom. She looked at her self in the mirror and silent tears began to stream down her face. She had two small cuts on her left cheek and her lip was split. She had a bruise on her arm from when she fell and she knew her wrist was broken. This was the worst thing Eric had ever done. Sure, he'd slap her now and then but he'd always apologize right away. He'd never broken a bone or left a mark. Davina didn't know how she could hide this.

"Wait, they never notice me anyway. If I stay in my room, I can hide it with makeup until it goes away," Davina whispered to herself. She dabbed at her cuts with some water, which stung, before exiting the bathroom and quickly walking home. The palace was minutes from the school and Davina liked walking home. It gave her time to think. Her walk today, however, was filled with worried thoughts. She had to tell someone about her wrist, it needed to be looked at. But she couldn't tell anyone about Eric, they wouldn't understand. She didn't understand.

While Davina walked home, Mal was sitting in the living room. Evie had offered to watch Riley for the afternoon and evening so the parents could catch up with Davina. They hadn't had a quality conversation with her since the baby was born and they felt bad. So, they decided to bake some cookies with her this afternoon and go out to dinner with her. Ben was upstairs changing after a council meeting.

When Davina walked in the door, she could hear her parents a few rooms over. Oh no she thought. They'd see her cuts and bruises before she could cover them. Then they'd ask questions and Davina knew her parents would know if she was lying. She would have to tell them about Eric and then he'd find out and when he did... Davina didn't want to even think about what would happen.

"Davina, is that you?" Mal asked, getting up and walking towards the entrance of the house to meet her daughter.

"Uh, yeah, but I have to go to the, uh, bathroom," Davina said before turning and running up the stairs. However, Ben was walking down the stairs at that moment and Davina stopped a few steps in front of him. Mal had just entered the room and spotted her daughter.

"Davina! What happened to you?" Ben asked, running down the rest of the steps to look at his daughter. Mal walked up and saw the damage as well, gasping out of shock.

"I, uh, fell at school," Davina said, not looking in either parents eye. That's how her parents knew she was lying.

"Come on, we're going to the infirmary," Mal said, grabbing Davina's bad wrist, causing the girl to hiss in pain. Mal and Ben looked at the wrist, not even noticing the damage to the wrist at first. Mal grabbed the other arm and began guiding the girl to the infirmary.

"What really happened?" Ben asked as the three walked the palace halls.

"I told you, I fell," Davina said as the three reached the infirmary. Mal immediatly began searching for the proper medical supplies. When she found out she was pregnant, she decided to take an eight week medical course so she could treat most of her children's injuries and sicknesses. She wasn't a fan of the doctor's and like to avoid the place if she could. She learned everything, from how to disinfect cuts to set and wrap broken bones.

"We know when your lying Davina," Mal said, putting some disinfectent cream and some gauze on the counter. Ben guided his daughter to the exam table and made her sit down.

"I c-can't tell you," Davina said, looking at the ground, a few tears falling. Ben looked at Mal in concern. The girl quickly finished gathering her supplies and placed them on the counter closest to her daughter.

"Davina, you can tell us anything. We're your parents, no matter what, we'll be there for you," Ben said, lifting Davina's head up and wiping away her tears. Davina just shook her head, looking at the ground again. Mal sighed but began to clean out her cuts with the cream. It stung a little but it didn't hurt nearly as bad as her wrist hurt.

"I c-can't," Davina said, more tears fall out of her eyes as her mother placed bandages over Davina's cuts. Instead of starting to work on Davina's wrist, Mal pulled her daughter in for a hug. It was clear her daughter was in distress and Mal just wanted to make it better. Ben joined in on the hug, rubbing circles on his daughters back. It was a technique he usually used when her daughter had nightmares and it usually helped her daughter calm down. After a few minutes, the sobs died down to silent tears.

"Tell us what happened D. We just want to help," Ben said, sitting next to his daughter as Mal started to work on her wrist. Davina shook her head, her mouth unable to tell the tale of her injuries.

"Did someone do this to you?" Mal asked before setting Davina's wrist, causing her daughter to flinch and let out a whimper. She nodded her head at her mother's question.

"Who?" Ben asked.

"I c-can't say," Davina whispered.

"Davina, I promise you that if you tell us, you'll be fine. Whoever did this won't be able to hurt you anymore," Ben said, turning Davina's head so she'd look at him.

"E-eric," Davina said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"That guy you went on a date with a few months ago?" Mal asked as she put away the supplies before sitting next to her daughter.

"Yeah, we've been dating for a few months and a few weeks ago he started acting weird. Then he'd hit me every now and t-then, b-but I didn't know w-what to do. And t-today he was worse then e-ever before and I j-just don't k-know why he'd do t-that to m-me. H-he was s-supposed to l-love me," Davina said, sobbing by the end. Her parents held her as she cried.

"Some people don't know how to give love. Some people get so angry they take it out on others and it's wrong. It's a horrible thing that some people go through, but when it happens you need to tell someone. Not only for your safety but so that those that hurt you can get some help," Ben explained.

"I know, I wanted to t-tell you but you w-were so b-busy with Riley. I d-didn't want to b-burden you," Davina said.

"Davina, you will never be a burden to us. If something like this is going on, you need to tell us. We're your parents and it's our job to protect you," Mal said, pulling her daughter in for another hug.

"Now, how about we make some cookies?"
