[Hi guys! I felt like I needed to add what happened the night Bella showed up at Kevins house. So, it's told from third person. I also felt the need to add this into my story due to the fact of all the abuse that happens to children/teens/anyone daily. If you guys are in Bella's situation, or know someone who is, report it. You're strong enough to do so. :) Love you guys3]

Prologue to Chapter 5

"What do you mean your father did this to you!?" Kevin screamed, feeling worried and heartbroken at the same time. Bella stared at him, tears streaming down her face, which was already covered in black makeup. She stayed silent for a moment, which made Kevin grow even angrier. "Bella!"

"My dad is a drunk! Okay?!" She screamed back at Kevin, which mad her sob even more. She put her head in her hands and cried loudly. Kevin rubbed his forhead and sat beside her, putting his arms around her in an embrace. She threw her arms around him and cried into his shoulder.

"I've done so well coping with his bullshit." She wiped her eyes and released Kevin. "He would come home from work, expecting my mother or I to have a beer ready for him. If we didn't have that, well. It would be obvious what he would've done." She rubbed her arm and sighed. "Should I continue?"

Kevin cleared his throat, already trying to fight back his tears for this poor girl. "If-if you feel you need to, then proceed."

"Well, the cat's already out of the bag." Bella pulled her legs to her chest and began talking again. "The beatings started when i was just a little girl. When I would go to school with bruises, it got the school talking, so we'd pack our shit up and flee before anyone could do anything. As i got older, the abuse got worse." She choked back tears and went on with her horrific story.

"It was just verbal abuse. Then he start to strike me. My mom was sick of it and left him. But she also left me to deal with him. I've honestly never forgave her for it. And I know I never will." Bella clenched her fists as a few tears fell. All Kevin could do was sit there and listen. He knew he needed to do something else for her, but he couldn't get himself to do anything.

"Once my mom left, he had no one to..'pleasure' him." She cringed at that word. "So he had a 14 year old daughter that was use to abuse. And that's when the sexual abuse began." She began crying again, and Kevin pulled her into another embrace.

"You don't have to tell me anymore. Just stop talking, just... let me hold you, okay?" Kevin wrapped his arms around Bella tightly. He nuzzled his head against her neck, smelling her hair. It smelled like flowers and vanilla. He smiled a little, then pulled away.

"Come upstairs and I'll take care of your wounds." Kevin took Bella's hand and led her to his bedroom. He disappeared for a moment, but returned with a first aid kit. He leaned down in front of Bella sitting on his bed and began gently wiping her cheek. He put a band-aid on it after cleaning it out. He stared into Bella's swollen eyes for a moment, then leaned close to her, pressing his lips against hers softly. As quicly as it happened, he jerked away, realizing the boundries he just crossed.

Bella touched her lips, then smiled. It was the first time he saw her smile all night. It made him smile too. Bella stood up and pressed her lips to Kevin's once more. Kevin wrapped his arms around Bella's waist and felt her smile through their kiss. Bella pulled him on top of her on the bed and began to pull off his shirt, and he did the same for her. Kevin honestly had no clue what he was doing, but it felt right to him.
They were both just one layer of clothing away from baring it all. Bella reached behind her and unhooked her bra, letting everything fall freely. Kevin was utterly amazed at the sight in front of him. He felt himself getting aroused, and she smiled. Bella leaned down and began kissing and nipping at Kevins neck. He really started to get into whatever she was doing, but a realization hit Kevin. What the hell was he doing? He was trying to comfort Bella. She was probably just.. abused from her father. And yet here Kevin is taking advantage of her being weak. Just as Bella was reaching for his boxers, he stopped her.

"Bella, stop.." She looked down at him with a confused look on her face.

"I thought this is what you wanted." She smiled, pushing her breasts together for him. He stared for a minute, but shook it off.

"No, I should be co-comforting you...N-n-not this.." Bella looked completely offended. She got off of Kevin, making sure to knee him in the crotch as she did so. He yelped and rolled off the bed.

"Bella! Why did you do that?!" Without saying a word, Bella grabbed her clothes got dressed. "I'm sleeping on your couch and I'll go back home in the morning." She grabbed her shoes and headed for downstairs. "Thank you for your hospitality."

Kevin stared with his mouth open in utter shock. What just happened...And why the hell did he tell Bella to stop?

As much as he hated to admit it he had to deal with the fact that he had his heart set on someone other than Bella.

"Fuck..." He mumbled to himself, not even yelling at himself for cursing.
