Marley's POV
I was sleeping in my room, when I felt my pillow get shoved on my face. I tried to sit up but I couldn't, I opened my eyes and looked at my mother.
"Shhh child"
I nodded. She removed the pillow.
"Wha-" I started
"Shhh I said shhh"
"Ok sorry. What the hell" I whispered
"Bret won't let me see you"
"Well he just wants me safe"
"I've never hurt you"
"You went to jail for assaulting your boyfriends ex, and his 2 kids"
"It's not my fault your father left me"
"Mom,"
"Marley, you made him leave"
"No I didn't, he wanted to take me with him"
"You told him that I hit you"
"You did"
"I was drunk from a party"
"So."
"It's all your fault."
"BRET" I screamed
"Fuck you"
She pushed the pillow into my face sitting on my chest. I heard the door open, I blacked out.

I opened my eyes up to see John standing over me with his big sister, Jess.
"She's awake" Jess announced
"Thank the lord" Bret said
I sat up slowly. "What's going on"
"You blacked out"
"Oh how long"
"17 hours" Jess breathed sitting down
"Damn sorry"
"It's okay darlin'. Good to be around this 'ol joint again"
"How did you get here"
"Well, I was home when John called yelling about how you passed out, and I just called my boyfriend who drove me at high speed in his cop car. I was here in 15 minutes"
"Damn well thanks guys"
"No problem. John can I speak with you?" Jess asked. John shook his head and followed her outside.
"Hope to see ya soon Jess." I said as they walked out.
"Absolutely." she said smiling.
