"The guy who came was Damian, Kristen's ex boyfriend. They started going about about 8th grade if I'm correct and at first he was what seemed like the perfect boyfriend; he was sweet, caring, never made her doing anything she didn't want to. His attitude towards he was really like "you're mine", like he wanted to control everything she did. He wanted to control who she saw, what she wore, what she said, it was like he wanted her to be what he wanted. He didn't like her talking to friends, he was really critical of all her friends, thought we were stupid and stuff like that. After a while it got really bad, if she told him she'd spoken to a friend on the phone he'd be like "you know I don't like you talking to her" Whenever she tried to argue with him, he'd just get so aggressive, start shouting at her, and sometimes he'd like, start grabbing onto her really hard, he'd come up really close and stand over her and shout. Even though she was really upset, I'd just give in. Sometimes he'd apologise for shouting at her. He'd be like "I'm sorry, I can't help getting angry with you, if you didn't do these things I wouldn't be so angry, it's just because I love you so much". Other times he'd stay in this really angry mood, he'd just sit there in silence and sort of smash things around, or if he was driving he'd drive like a maniac. He was always suspicious of her and it was like she couldn't do anything right. Once he was waiting for her after school and he sawher talking to this guy Alex she'd known since kindergarden. Anyway he got so angry with her for talking to another guy that he pushed her, really hard so she nearly fell over. And then he's still going on at me "Why were you talking to him? What were you talking about?". I could tell she'd really had enough, so she said "Just shut up". Then he says "What did you say?", so she repeated it, and then he just slapped her across the face. And there were like a few people there watching us, and Damian screams at them "you mind your own business". So no-one said anything, they all just turned away. Sometimes he's just tell her out of no where 'she was a fat ugly bitch and she'd never be as sexy as the other girls" Maggie paused for a minute brushing through Kristen hair with her fingers, I flinched. "Kristen had begun to cut around then I think and nobody knew except me; but when Damian had found out he got really mad and begun to beat her. I didn't know about physical abuse or verbal abuse untill then. She called me from Walmart or Target and asked me to take her to the hospital. She had three bruised ribs, a sprained wrist and broken ankle. She had told the others a gang tried to mug and but she kicked their asses. Damian didn't live far from Walmart, literally acrosss the street so she had hobbled over there. He called her a whore because she wore shorts a tee shirt and a sweatshirt and had pulled her hair slapping and puching her to the ground. She had gotten up and screamed at him 'get the fuck out of my house or I'll castrate you' he laughed and left but was still with her. She was bullied alot, Damian took part in it most of the time. He cheated on her with Victoria and slept with her, on the last day of school she caught him with Victoria and just left without him knowing. His parents were divorced so I guess one of the parents married a rich person and that's where we are now; and if there's one thing I know is Damian isn't going to go down without a fight." Maggie finished. I was pissed beyond hell; I was going to kill that son of a mother fu- "No." Maggie said as if reading my thoughts.
"So now what?" I asked looking down at the fragile sleeping girl who was wimpering in her sleep.
"I'll go tell the others I guess, the other Americans think he just cheated, besides Carson who didn't know she was dating him. You stay here with Kristen." Maggie said, picking up the sleeping girl placing her on my lap. Kristen lets out a scream, a few tears pouring out, I shook her away; she woke up gasping for breath.
"Kristen, calm down." I said rubbing her back soothingly as she let out a choked sob.
"He...he..." She buries her face in her hands.
"What happened?" I asked her gently.
"..The town was empty and looked like the apocolypse happened and he killed most of us, and he made fun of how they tried to be strong but ended up dying. I tried to fight him; he killed Tamaki, then killed me and I just can't stop seeing Tamaki being stabbed and coughing up blood and.." She begun to cry again. I rub her back soothingly.
"It's okay; just go back to sleep. I'm here." I said soflty. I brushing my fingers through her hair untill she fell asleep.
