I step my feet inside the house but was met with silence. I walked to the sitting room and I didn't find anyone. I guess uncle Benson went out because he doesn't work on weekends. With that thought in my mind. I sigh in relief.

I turn my back to go upstairs. I'll just lock myself in my room till Monday because he leaves very early to go to work but I have to carry some food to my room so I don't starve to death and I can loose the chance of meeting my funeral.

When I turned around. I gasp in horror. Uncle Benson was there staring at me with his arms crossed on his chest. I guess it was to early for me to celebrate.

"Who was that guy that drop you off slut?!!"

"He.....he was the guy that saved me from the guys that wanted to r-rape me yesterday."

"And were is my vodkas?" He snapped at me. Suddenly looking at my hand. Wow he cares I was about to be raped. Not the sarcasm.

"Huh?" I act dump not ready to answer his question.

"I said were are my vodkas?!!" he said coming closer to me. I have to lie I can't tell him that I lost his money or else he will kill me.

"I.....uh.....the guys that wanted to rape me took the money from me." I said but my voice comes as a whisper but I'm sure he heard me..

"Stop lying you slut!!!" he shouted before giving me a hard slap on my left cheek. Then he pushes me down and he started punching me on the face. After about I think five punches, he stood up and kicked me several times on the stomach. I turn and hold my stomach as I started coughing out blood. "Don't think I'm done with you." he said going to the way of the kitchen.

I started crying my eyes and heart out. What did I do to deserve all this? Why does he hate me so much? Why does my parents hate me so much to leave me with this monster? Was I that useless to them? I'm sure wherever my parents are, they are having fun.

I tried getting up slowly. Wow this hurt like fuck! I reached the stairs. I was about to put my leg on the first step but froze when I heard the monster's voice again. "We the fuck do you think you are going bitch? Come back here!" He said coming closer to me. When I saw the knife shinning in his hand my eyes went wide. I tried to walk faster up the stairs. Key word tried.

He pulled me back by my hair. I yelped. "Shut up you slut!!!" he said while pulling my hair. He pushed me to the wall, I slid down the wall and he came closer. Before he could stab me with the knife, I did what all smart girls would do in my condition: I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.

He groans falling on his knees and dropped the knife down, putting both his hands on it. That's what you deserve bitch! Oh no his trying to get up. I used the opportunity to quickly run upstairs while coughing out blood and with all the pains in my body. Once I reached my room, I locked it and ran to my bed. I couldn't stop starring at the door in horror.

I could hear his foot steps coming closer to my room. When he got closer to my door he started banging the door. "Unlock this door right now or I will break it!!!" he said while banging the door. I know he's just trying to scare me because he isn't strong enough to break it.

I don't fight him back because he's the only family I know and got. I really wish to kill him long time ago, but where will I stay if I kill him? I don't even know whether I have any relatives or siblings.

"Don't think I'm done with you!!" he said still banging my door. The banging finally stopped. I heard his foot steps disappearing in a distance. Then I heard the front door shutting with so much force making me flinch.

The house suddenly felt with silence so I assumed he was gone. I stood up from my bed with all the pains still on my body. Thank God he didn't touch my wounded knee.

I got to the bathroom and took a cold shower because I get scared of hot water when I still have fresh bruises.

I striped out of my hoodie and the remaining clothes I still had from yesterday. I went into the shower, thought about all the event that happened in one day.

I have to try and avoid Chase, if I don't want to get into more troubles with Queen Bitch aka Kiara. Because if she can't get someone to talk to her she doesn't allow anyone to talk to that person. She have being crushing on Chase since I started knowing her.

Getting out of the shower, I took my towel and covered my body with it but not before wincing in pain. I went back to my room and took out the clothes I want to wear and put them on carefully, not wanting to hurt myself more.

After treating and wrapped my stomach since I had a big purple bruise there. I quickly went down stairs, straight to the kitchen to take out all the food I need till Monday and not forgetting to take out the pain killers. Before uncle Benson gets back.

I went back upstairs after taking four bottles filled with water in the fridge. I can't leave without taking water of course. When I got back in the room, I put everything on my bed and went back to the door to lock it. I put down all the food I took out by the side of my bed since I'm to tired to set them properly. Before dosing off.

"Hey Ash!!!" Michelle said running to give me a hug but I quickly dodge it which almost made her fall down.

"Hi Michelle." I greeted her back, after she regained her balance.

"Hey!! what was that for?" She asked with a confused look.

"Nothing." I shrugged. I did not want her to hug me because of the bruises all over my body still hurts a bit and Michelle squeezes me when she's hugging.

I started walking to my locker while Michelle runs trying to catch up with me.

"So how was your weekend?" she asked when we were done taking out our books from the lockers.

A lot of things happened and can you believe that Chase saved me from being raped? and I spend the night at his house not even a house a mansion. That's what I wanted to say but I end up saying "It was good and yours?"

The lie...

"Can you believe that I actually bumped into Ace in the mall I went to on Saturday?" Oh yeah she has a huge crush on Ace since junior year when she was new and asked Ace the way to her chemistry class. Since then she started building a huge crush on him.

"Oh really?" I said walking to our maths class.

"Yes really and he even helped me pick up my plastic bags that fall down." she said smiling to her achievement.

"That's a start." I said nodding my head at her.

"It is!" she said almost too loud.

Me and Michelle are in the cafeteria eating our lunch. Thank God it worked avoiding Chase and his friends. I can see Mason really recovered pretty well.

"Hey why are yo-" Michelle didn't complete her sentence so I decided to look up from my delicious food (apple and sandwich). Only to see her eyes wide almost coming out of their sockets and her mouth wide open that a fly could freely fly in. She was looking at my back. So I decided to turn around only to meet Mason's light green eyes. I'm pretty sure my jaw is touching the floor.

"Oh hey guys. How you doing?" he said sitting at my right side and two more chairs pulls back on our table. Ace is seated on Michelle's right while Mason is seated at Michelle's left and my right. Chase is seated on my left side with trays on their hands. Me and Michelle shared glances still shocked. Huh okay....

What the hell just happened?!
