Wyatt's POV:
My parents left 3 weeks ago. I'm back to daily beatings and constant nightmares. I have bruises all over my body and I know no one is going to save me. No one cares. I have visible bruises and no one has noticed.
At school I keep my head down and don't talk to anyone. My grades are suffering not because it's hard but because all I can focus on is my empty stomach. I can't even drink water until they tell me to.
"Hey Wyatt are you okay" Jesse asked me
"Yeah im alright. I just miss my dads" that's the lie I've been saying
"I know that's not true. I've seen the bruises and how you flinch or avoid eye contact. We had the "know the signs" presentation. I can tell my dad and he'll tell yours"
"No Jesse just mind your own business" I answered harshly
"Please Wy you haven't smiled in so long and I miss you a lot" she hugged me but it hurt
"Please don't you'll make things worse. I have it under control" I flashed a fake smile
"That's so fake. Your eyes are crying for help" she cried
"Please don't cry for my sake you'll find I'm not worth it"
"You're 9 you should be laughing and smiling with us"
"Drop it Jesse"
I walked back inside and put my head down
Jesse's POV
After wy stormed off I couldn't help but still be worried. The whole group has noticed the bruises and I couldn't just drop it
"Hey teach"
"Hi Jessica" I cringed at my gross first name (sorry to all Jessicas. I like your name but Jesse doesn't)
"I'm worried about Wyatt"
"He's been very distant but he's probably tired"
"No he has lots of bruises and he doesn't eat or drink anymore. Emmet hasn't seen him at soccer either"
"Are you sure Jessica because this is serious"
"I'm positive he needs help. Please save our best friend" I started crying and she hugged me
"You have my word"
