Billie's POV

I woke up to someone shaking me. "Bil, wake up." I heard Finneas say. I slowly opened my eyes and groaned. "What?" I groggily said. "C'mon we have an interview today." He said. "Ok." I got up and pushed him out of my room.

I went to my closet and picked out an outfit. I wanna make a good first impression for Brooklynn so this is what I was wearing.

Pretty simple. I grabbed my keys and headed to the car. "I'll meet you guys there!" I yelled. I heard someone say ok and I closed the door. Before I pulled off I facetimed Brooklynn and sat my phone down.

After three rings she picked up "Hello?" She said sleepily. "Mamas it's a FaceTime call." I chuckled. I heard some shuffling and I saw blue led lights come on. I pulled out of the driveway while she was doing whatever she was doing.

"Oh hey bil." "Hey, did I wake you?" I heard some more shuffling before she answered. "Uh yeah, but it's fine I needed to get up anyway. Are you driving?" "Yes I am, I'm on my way to my interview. I was calling you to tell you good morning and to ask you what was your address."

I heard her let out a quiet ow before I heard more shuffling. "Uh right it's uh, *random address*" I nodded, "Are you ok? I heard you say ow." She sat her phone down for a quick second before picking it back up.

"Uh yeah I'm fine, I gotta go see you later." She hung up before I could say bye. I sighed as I pulled into the parking lot of the place I was being interviewed at. I wish Brooklynn can be here.

Brooklynn's POV

My dad came bursting in my room. "Who are you on the phone with!" He yelled "N-no one." He looked at my screen before storming over to me and snatching my phone and throwing it on the ground.

I paid for that phone. He grabbed me by my arm and pulled me out of bed. Tears streamed out of my eyes as my ankle started to hurt worse. "You can't be on the phone with anyone now go get dress and get out of my house, and don't come back I mean it this time."

He threw me to the ground and I just stood up wincing when I accidently put to much pressure on my ankle. I limped to my room to find an outfit and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I bursted out into tears.

My body was coved in cuts and bruises. I wiped my tears and got in the shower. I looked at my ankle to see that it was swollen a lot more than it was yesterday. I got out the shower brushed my teeth and got dressed this is what I was wearing.

Something simple and it covers up my bruises and cuts. I didn't put my left shoe on though because my ankle was to swollen. I picked up my phone and it was cracked the screen was barely working.

I saw a text from bil saying she'll be here in two minutes. I grabbed my house keys and limped out of the house. I sat on the porch waiting for her. It's pretty hot outside so this jacket is really making me hot. 

I saw a matte black dodge challenger pull up and I saw billie getting out. She walked over to me and she looked more beautiful. "Wow, your more beautiful in person." She whispered. I don't think I was supposed to hear that.

"Where's your other shoe?" I held up my shoe looking into her ocean blue eyes. "Why is it off?" She laughed. "Oh uh because my ankle was swollen so." She nodded. "You should really go to the hospital."

"I uh don't have enough money so." She held out her hand and I grabbed it carefully getting up. She helped me to the car and the got in herself. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Uh we're going to the hospital then after that it's a surprise."

Billie's POV

"But bil, I don't have enough money." She said. "Yeah I know. That's why I'm going to pay for it." I said nonchalantly. It was silent for a while. "Bil I cant let you do that." She said quietly. "I know and that's why I'm just taking you up there instead of asking you." 

I pulled into the hospital parking lot. "I'll pay you back, I promise just once I get enough mo-." I cut her off. "Chill mama just let me pay for it, you don't gotta pay me back." I said. I got out of the car going to her side helping her out of the car.

"You look beautiful by the way." I said, I saw a light blush form on her face. "Thanks. you too." She mumbled. "Hi how may I help you ladies today." The front desk lady said. "Uh yeah can we get a boot for her ankle." She nodded and pointed to the waiting room.

I helped her over there and we sat down. I was holding her hand because why not, plus she didn't pull away so. She let go of my hand and I looked at her confused. She was just taking off her jacket. 

She grabbed my hand and interlaced our fingers again. I was looking at her and I seen something that I didn't want to. It was some bruises and some cuts, like she cut herself. "Why?" I asked quietly, feeling a little hurt.

She looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Why what?" She asked. "Why is there bruises and cuts on your arms, why are you cutting yourself? Why are there bruises on your arms." She looked shock.

I heard her mumble "Shit I forgot." "Brooklynn why are you doi-." The doctor cut me off. "Brooklynn Rosalie." I sighed and helped her up. She laid down on the hospital bed and I just stared at the cuts on her arm.

How long has this been going on? When did she do this? Who is giving her these bruises? How did she really twist her ankle? So many questions running through my mind. She's pretty and amazing and I just...don't know why she would do this.

"Ma'am." The doctor said snapping me out of my thoughts. "Uh yea sorry." "Can I speak with you." I nodded and followed her. "Do you know where those bruises are from?" I gulped. "Uh no, I'm just her friend, this is my first time meeting her in person so."

I looked down, I really wish she would tell me what's going on. I mean I know we just met, but I still wanna be here for her, that's what friends are for. The doctor sadly nodded. "She's free to go." I nodded and walked back in the room. 

"C'mon." I said while holding out my hand. She looked at my hand then at me, a small smile forming on her face. God her smile is so beautiful. "Can I see your phone?" I asked. "Uh well I would let you but it doesn't work anymore." I furrowed my eyebrows and she handed me her phone.

It had a lot of cracks and the screen was basically coming off.

"Well to the apple store we go."
