Namine and I were in my room; getting some pajamas for her to wear. I'm so glad we became friends in the fourth grade. If we never met, she'd have nobody by her side. I handed her a matching two piece checkered pajamas. "I'll let you wear my favorite pajamas."

She took them as she gave me a small smile and she left my room to go change in her room. I shut my door and I put on a plain white t-shirt and black shorts. A knock was at my door. "Come in."

The door opened and there stood Namine. The pajamas seemed a little big on her, but she did look cute wearing my clothes.

"They fit," she said.

I nodded. "Remember, if you need anything you can see me or my mom."

"Alright, good night," she said as she turned on her heal.

"Night."

She entered her room and climbed into bed and so did I.

After I closed my eyes. I heard a phone go off, it sounded like it came from Namine's room. Probably her father; wondering where she is. I just want Namine to live a better life; her father needs to treat her better. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. Why do some parents abuse their kids? What made them parents in the first place? They shouldn't be parents if they're going to abuse their kids. People sicken me these days.

The same sound keeps going off, almost every second. I sat up, just enough so I could see Namine's room. She was under the covers, with her eyes closed. Why isn't she answering her phone? Is she sleeping or is she ignoring it? "Namine, answer your phone!" I whispered loudly.

She sat up and she grabbed her phone, to read her texts and more came through. I laid back down. I shut my eyes; as I was about to fall asleep. I heard a soft voice call my name. I opened my eyes and looked at the person who's in my eye shot. "What is is Namine?" I sat up; her face looks sad. Something must've upset her through the texting.

"My dad... he isn't happy."

This can't be good. "He's the one who's texting you?"

She nodded and she sat on the edge of my bed. "He wants me home."

"Don't go. You're going to see him tomorrow at school. Just tell him that."

She typed out the text on her phone and she sent it, hoping he'll leave her alone. "Didn't you tell him that you're staying the night?"

"Yeah, but I didn't say whose house I was staying at."

Her phone went off again. She glared at her screen to read the text. "He says: I'm really pissed at you!"

"He can go... never mind, just go back to bed. If he does anything to hurt you; I'll stand up for you."

She gave me a small smile. "Thank you." She left my room and she climbed into her bed. The rest of the night was quiet, no phones went off.

When we arrived at school; her father was waiting for us at the entrance. "You were over at HIS house?" He sounded really angry. I'm not leaving her side.

She nodded. "Yes I was."

Ansem looked at me. "You! You better of not hurt her in any way!"

"I didn't s-"

"Detentions for both of you! Namine, you're lucky I don't smack you." He said as he walked off.

He must hate me. "He can't do that!"

"I know, it sucks; it goes on our records."

The bell rang for the first block. Namine and I rushed down the hall to get to our classes. we didn't want to be late again. I'm not sure about the detention, if I should go. If I don't go, I'll get a Saturday detention. I don't want that either. Looks like I have to deal with it.

School came to an end; it's time for our detention. I sighed as I climbed up the stairs. I didn't see Namine. maybe she's already there. As I walked down the hall, passing many class rooms. I saw Namine sitting on the floor with her back against the wall; crying. I walked over to her. "What's wrong?"

"My dad called me to his office; he said he's going to beat me!"

I bent down to her level. That guy makes me sick! "I guess I have to give him a peace of my mind!"

"What do you mean?" She asked wiping her tears.

"Calling the cops," I smirked.

"Roxas, you can't."

"Namine, I'm not going to let you get hurt and he'll be in jail, he won't hurt you anymore!"

Namine shook her head, she didn't agree with me. I wonder why. She stood to her feet. "Let's go to our detention." She wouldn't look me in the eye, yup she's mad at me. I grabbed her by the wrist. She winced. "Let go!"

"Namine, you have to listen to me! I'm going to call the cops, if you like it or not!"

She broke out of my grip, and she walked away from me; I noticed her sweatshirt sleeve was up; I saw scares on her wrist. He needs to get out of her life. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and I dialed 911. I didn't care if she didn't like it; I care about her safety.

"Hello, what's the emergency?" A female picked up the phone.

"I like to report child abuse. There's this guy, his name is Ansem; he's been abusing his daughter. She told me the stories that he beats her."

"Okay, I'm going to send some cops and talk to the man. What's the address?"

"It's at Destiny Island High School."

"Thank you," she hung up and I put away my phone. I was glad I didn't get in trouble; I went in the detention room. Vexen gave me a dirty look as I took my seat. Namine isn't in this detention, she probably is in a different room. I took out a book to read.

The announcement beeped on. "This is a shelter in place."

Vexen turned off the lights, closed the window shades and locked the door. Now it's died quiet. I bet the cops are here. I put my book down; I couldn't see the words on the pages. So what's the point in reading?

We sat there in the dark about a half hour, some of the students fell asleep. I guess Vexen didn't care. There isn't much to do in the dark. I hope they get that son of a bitch out of that school and put him behind bars! Namine will live in peace and joy. she'll be happier.

The announcement came back on. "The shelter and place is now over. Thank you for waiting patiently."

Vexen turn on the lights and unlocked the door. "You're detention is over."

We rose from our seats and left the classroom. I didn't see Ansem, I could picture him to giving me a dirty look. Maybe they took him away. When we left the school, Namine walked over to me. "Did you actually call them?" She didn't seem to upset.

I nodded with a smile. "Yes, I did. You're safe now."

She gave me a big hug. "Thank you, Roxas! I'm so sorry for getting mad at you! You were right!" She gave me a kiss on the lips.

I blushed and I kissed her back. "I love you, Namine." I hugged her back.

"I love you too."

I was by her side, I never gave up on her. I'm glad I made her happy. We broke out of the embrace and I gave her a good-bye kiss. "See you tomorrow."

She nodded with a smile. "See you too!" We both walked different ways.

It's so nice to see her happy again, and I'm glad I fell in love with her.

The end. Do you think I should make a squeal?
