Hi my name is Mae and I live in LA with my daddy and my brother. I love my brother to death, but I'm afraid death 

will come sooner than later. My mom left when I was born or that's what I was told. I was told that she didn't love us anymore and left without goodbye or anything. 

Daddy won't let me call him dad or father if I do then I get punished for it and I don't like being punished by him. My brother knows nothing about the punishments, if he sees a bruise or a whip mark or chock marks, daddy and I have to make an excuse like I ran into a pole or I tripped. Daddy is a doctor, so he says he knows what he's doing. 

Present time

I wake up to the smell of bro cooking breakfast just in time for school, I'm really exited to go to school so I can get away from daddy. He scares me a lot and I can't tell or he will hurt me more. 

When I get to school I go strait to my locker and get my books for art class. Once I close my locker I feel someone standing behind me, and I know exactly who it was... Jessica, Marley, and Taylor. But they weren't alone they had a bunch of jocks behind them. I keep my head held high cause I don't take shit from anyone. "Jessica what do you want?" 

Jessica: what did I say about talking to me first?

Taylor: yeah ... You can't do that. 

Everyone: hahahahaha!!!!!

"God your pathetic, can't you just leave me alone for once." 

Tanner: what fun would that be.

Tanner is one of the jocks so is Ace. I've had a crush on Ace for as long as I could remember. 

Ace: shut up Tanner... You too Jessica. Stop picking on her. 

Tanner: whatever bro we got practice lets go. 

First goes Jessica, Taylor, and Marley once Tanner got to me he smiled at me and threw the books in my hand to the ground. I rolled my eyes and went to pick my books up but I looked down and they were already picked up. In front of me stood a tall handsome guy with olive skin green eyes and Raven Blake hair that was kinda messy. 

Ace: here sorry about them they are just rude. 

Me: it's okay I used to be her friend then we just faded away from each other ."

Ace: oh... Sorry to hear that, that must be hard. 

Me: I'm used to being invisible it's okay. 

I think he saw my marks on my neck and arms cause he stopped talking and pulled me in and started looking at my marks like he had lost his mind. 

Ace: what the hell happened?!?

I pulled away fast and covered my marks with my jacket that I had on and a tear started to roll down my eye. At this point I was ready to break down and run to the bathroom but then he said...

Ace: you need to tell someone. 

Me: who am I gonna tell, or what am I going to tell them that daddy beats and rapes me if I make the smallest mistake ever... 

I stopped as I just realized what I just said and I looked around and the whole school heard me and was staring at me. When I looked to my right I saw Jackson (my brother). You could see the smoke coming out of his ears, he threw his book to the floor and was running out of the school. I couldn't handle the staring and the whispering anymore so I ran to the bathroom and locked it. 

Ace: Mae let me in I didn't mean to push you like that... The principal wants to speek to you. 

All I could do was cry, let it all out. My brother hates me Ace pity's me everyone hates me too. I can't handle it anymore. Next thing I know is opening the door really fast and sprinting out of the school where I ran into daddy. He looked pretty pissed. He swiftly walked up to me I looked down at the floor cause I couldn't look him in the eyes. He grabs my wrist and slapped me across the face throwing me to the ground really hard. So hard that I didn't want to get up. Before I knew I saw blue and red flashing lights, then Ace running up to me then I blacked out. 

 I can slowly start to feel my eyes open. All I can see is the tiles of the ceiling. Once I get my hearing I hear beeping sounds. I start to get my feeling back and I feel a sharp needle like feeling in the crease of my elbow, I also feel a hand holding my right hand. Just as I turned my head I see Jackson and then Ace sitting behind him in a chair. Thought they didn't realize that I was awake. 

"Am I dead yet". I said with a bit of a crack in my voice. 

Jackson: I don't think it's the time to be joking right now. 

I could tell he was crying cause his eyes were red and his voice was shaky. 

I've never liked laying on my back, it just makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason. Mabey it's that when I'm on my back I'm open to everyone that they can take advantage of me. I just don't like it so I get up, and let go of Jackson hand. He stands up and walks out of the room. I look over at Ace he looks like he's been crying to. 

"What's wrong with you". 

Ace:... I don't know. 

"Why do you look like your crying right now then" 

I don't know what or how it happened but the next thing I know is him cupping my face with his hands and kissing me softly. It was like the world around us was gone and nothing could break us apart... 

Door opens

I spoke to soon. We let go of each other and he sits back down. 

Doctor: good your awake, let me just check your vitals. 

"Okay... But didn't I just get slapped why am I in the hospital". 

I looked at Ace and his eyes emedietly shot to the ground. 

" what are you not telling me".

Ace: you don't remember huh?

"No remember what". 

Ace: after he slapped you you passed out and he started..... beating you... And kicking you...

I could feel the heartache in his voice he hated saying that. I shoot my hand to my check and feel tears streaming down non-stop. I can't handle it anymore. 

Blackness...

 The next day Jackson didn't want me at school but he didn't want me alone, so he stayed with me. 

Jackson: wake up?!? I got lunch and we have visitors so be decent. 

"Mm huh"I was still half way asleep and didn't really care. The next thing I know is hearing big clanking sounds of a cooking pot and a wooden spoon. 

"Really?!? Can I just sleep." I said as I was trying to over talk the most annoying brother ever. 

Right then he stopped, and looked at me as if he was thinking about it... 

Jackson: hum... Nope. 

"Ugh... I just got out of the hospital can't I stay here were its ACCUALY safe."

He looked as if he was disappointed or mad or sad... I don't know maybe it could be all three. Then he just walked out with a smile. I'm so confused. 

Well I can't sleep now better go. I didn't feel like doing anything so I put on some denham shorts and I was a bit chilly so I grabbed my leather jacket. And went to the living room. 

When I got in there I saw a guy and a girl in a uniform with badges basically shoved in my face. 

Officer 1: ma'am we would like to question you on the resent events that occurred last week. 

*sigh* "okay" I was not ready for this. So I told them everything, Jackson got very mad at some parts but it was almost like he was blaming himself for it. 

When I got to the part where I was pregnant at 13 it all just became overwhelming and...

Blackness...
