“He’s been rough around with me, that’s all,” she said with a shaky voice. I could tell it was hard for her to tell me any of this.
She told me how he’s been pushing her, tripping her and getting his friends involved too. She started to have tears roll down her face as she told me what’s been going on and she wipes the tears away. She started to tremble as she tries to tell me more, but I stopped her.
“It’s alright…” I said. “I promise, I won’t let you get hurt again.”
I wrapped my arms around her and she laid against me until she heard a knock on the door.

“You two alright?” someone asks as he walks in. It was Thomas. “You guys better keep it PG in here.”
Thomas was another good friend of mine. You can trust him with anything and he wouldn’t tell anyone… well, maybe to a few of his friends, but they wouldn’t tell either.

Lauren started to smile and blush a little after the comment Thomas made.

At least she’s smiling.
I hope it stays that way...
