Casey's POV

I pulled back and I could feel my face heat up. I stood up and wiped my hands on my pants and held it out to shake her hand.

"Hi I'm casey", I introduce myself an so did she.

"Call me Melanie sweetie, nice to meet you",she responded and smiled at me. I looked up at Ryan and waited for him to say something,but since he didn't I did.

"I'll clean up the mess we made", I announced and picked up the bowl and spoon off the floor then grabbed napkins wiping up most of the mix that was spilt.

"I can finish for you darling why don't you go clean yourself up",Melanie said grabbing the things out of my hand and shoving a look in Ryan's direction.

"I'll show you where the bathroom is",he said and led me, siting a towel out for me to use. I hoped in and washed myself off making sure all the mix was gone and got out. After I wrapped the towel around me I realized that I needed some clothes until I could wash mine, so I cracked the door open and yelled Ryan's name until he popped up from across the hall.

"Oh,uh sorry but I need something to wear until I get my clothes washed",I stated biting my lip looking around. Trying my best to hide behind the door as I could to hide all the marks that were left on my body.

"Ah okay hold on I can get you something", he responded and returned a minute later handing them to me. He went back across the hall and I changed into what he gave me.
A big band t-shirt and a pair of jogging pants,'pretty comfortable' I thought to myself hanging up the towel. I grabbed my clothes and headed back to find Melanie.

"Can you wash these for me so I have something to wear home", I asked and she just smiled and nodded heading to what I guessed the laundry room.

"You can't head home", Ryan's voice scared me making me turn around.

"I have to", I said looking down and then at him.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry I'll text you or something if I ever need help okay?", I tried to make a deal, if I didn't head home, the day I do it will just be worse than ever before.

"I guess but you have to do it right away or right before so I can stop it", he said looking in my eyes and I simply nodded.

We finished the day off just hanging around his place until late and I headed home,sneaking in like usual.

Next day
-----------
At my locker I felt a presence behind me,so I slowly turned around hoping it wasn't Nicole to start things again, and it wasn't and to say I was glad was so an understatement because it was the one and only Adam. The guy I have been crushing on for ages.

"Uh,hi?", I said more like a question. He smiled and I couldn't help but smile to.

"I was wondering if we could hang out sometime?", he asked and even though I didn't know why he randomly came up to me,I still agreed to hang out with him. He smile and walked away back to his friends and I just couldn't help but smile.

Maybe things are starting to change.
