Y/n POV
"Max what are you doing here?" I said to the girl outside my window "we need to talk" she said "right now is not a good time" I said hopping my dad didn't hear me talking to someone "can I just come in" she said I walked to my door and slowly opened it and saw he was still asleep and walked back to the window "come in but be quiet and I mean it"
Max climbed into my window and looked around the room and looked at me "that guy your dad was talking to was my step brother" she said and I sat on my bed and looked at her "ok and" I said "your dad slapped you!" She almost yelled I got up and covered her mouth and listened to the living room and nothing "be quiet" I said
"Sorry but your dad slapped you" she said "ok and" I said going back to my bed "that's not right, Billy was talking about it on the ride home, and Billy doesn't do that" she said "it's not like it matters anyway, it's not the first" I said looking away. I felt a hand on my cheek and it gently turned my head to face Max "does he hurt you?" She asked
A tear fell from my eye and she pulled me in for a hug and held me I started crying into her. She layed back and had my head resting on her chest. She started playing with my hair and looked down at me "is the ok?" She asked "yeah" I said and she looked away
After a little bit of lying down I spoke up "he does" I said "ever since I was little, we moved here because CPS was going to take me" I finished. She stopped and looked at me "god I'm so sorry y/n, no one should ever have to go through that" she said. I got up and walked over to my desk and sat down in the chair. I put my head in my hands "I'm sorry" I said "about what?" Max asked "I didn't mean to spill that all out to you at once I know you have a lot going on" I said
Max walked over to me and brought my face to look at hers "it doesn't matter what's going on in my life, you father hurts you for no reason" she said "yeah but what can I do about it, nothing he's going to make them think every thing is fine" I said "what do you mean?" She asked "He tells them the brusis I have are because of sports and he makes me tell them they were from sports" I said "we moved away from California because they were getting suspicious of him" I finished
I started to hear foot steps coming and I hid Max in my closet quickly "I'm really sorry Max" I said closing the door. I went over to my bed and picked up my book and was 'reading' it and my dad walked in "where you talking to someone?" He said with sleep in his voice "no sir" I said "I sware I heard two voice's in here" he said looking at me. Calmly I said "I was just playing as the characters in my book with different voices" he looked at me suspiciously but couldn't read my face "you better get to bed
