Dalayah pov
I'm just listening to here by aleesia cara when I bump into someone "sorry I didn't see you" I say quickly "no it's my fault I should've noticed a beautiful girl like you" the stranger says then they introduce themself "oh I'm Justin" "I'm dalayah" I say looking down then Justin lifts my head and asks why I look down so much "um no reason I'm fine"I say a little to fast then he says "if you say so" then I start to walk away but he walks beside me and I just Look at him and keep walking then he asks where are you going ? Then I stop "far from where I came" and I walk away then he jogs up to me and says "why" "none of your goddamn business " I say starting to tear up and I walk away fast into Starbucks but I run into the bathroom into a stall and I have messages from the group chat

After texting them I realize I'm still in the bathroom I walk out the stall and sit on the sink and I start crying but I stop when the door is being opened I quickly wiped my face but that reveals my bruises but I don't care the female comes in and looks at me like she knows me "omg you're dalayah Taylor I love you" "oh thanks" I say trying to be enthusiastic then she sees me face I assume because her smile turns into a frown "what happened" she says caring like "oh I fell nothing serious" I say trying to believe it myself

We finally got to the Starbucks and I domt see her anywhere so Asia nadia Ashanti and I walk to the bathroom and before we go in we hear dalayah and another girl talking "i know you didn't fall because it wouldn't be that bad did someone hit you or something because if so they should be punished" "no no I fell down the stairs I'm fine" that's when we walk in then the girl looks back and says our names and we smile and speak to dalayah "ya know you should come back home so those 'stairs' can be fixed or something and you're brother says he's gonna do it" I say choosing my words carefully because that girl is right there but she looks very familiar so Nadia turns to her and says "hey you look very familiar have we met before?" Um yea I use to go out with your friend malak" and at his name dalayah starts crying and looks down then the girl looks at her and then us like she connected the dots and yells MALAK HIT HER then we tell her to shush and we get dalayah to calm down so we can go back home but the girl comes she said her name is tylar and we nod as we walk over to everyone but they then recognize her too and they all remember from where but no one says his name we walk back to the beach house an see malak crying until he saw tylar she walks up to him and says "you're hitting girls again malak I thought you changed" he looks surprised to see her but then says "I told you that you don't control my fucking life tylar why are you even here I thought you're parents moved after the 'incident' we had" at that she chokes but speaks anyway "yes they moved I wanted to stay here so I live alone and I'm also here because you hit dalayah" right then malak tried to hit tylar but dalayah runs to him and kicks him in his stomach four times then kicked him in his area four more times and starts yelling while crying until tre picks her up trying to calm her down but jalen had to grab her legs so she'd stop kicking

Sebastian pov
Malak wanna get hurt because I see dalayah as a sister I'm not afraid to hit him over her or any female he hurts then Ben comes out and asks malak to go in the house and Malak slurs "I'll go inside when I see those two" as he pints to tylar and dalayah then they both push threw us and dalayah says "what do you need ?" Then tylar says "its nothing important if it's coming from you and your drunk self just go to sleep and sober up" then he says " you better not disrespect me or else stay in yo lane you fucking bitch" then I can't take it I punch malak and then everyone comes outside and tries to stop it but then jalen and Noah tells them to let me when malak goes down then I punch him again and again till he goes unconscious then Tylar pulls me off and then Noah takes him upstairs to his room and I guess put him in his room we all walk into the house and then dalayah lays on tre and Tylar lays on me then we go to sleep until we hear screaming from dalayah yelling MALAK GET OFF ME DONT HURT ME I think it was a nightmare because she's crying and tre is comforting her and telling her it's okay that he's not gonna hurt her again ever then he pulls her up so she can sleep on his chest and I give them a blanket he said thanks and I nod and we go back to sleep
