a loud crash echoed through the living room as blood slowly trickled down the side of yn's head. her vision blurred as she tried to blink back her tears. her stepfather smirked evilly and grabbed the younger girl by her hair, causing her to groan in great pain. she suddenly felt a sting on her right cheek, causing her head to turn aggressively to the left. yn whimpered in pain as the older man didn't care that she was hurt; badly hurt. he lifted her back up before slamming her back into the glass coffee table.

her stepfather bent down next to her weak figure and harshly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. "clean this mess up before your mother gets home. if it's not cleaned, you'll be feeling a belt to your skin for hours.", her stepfather stated as he got back up and and opened the front door before slamming it shut. yn flinched at the sudden loud noise as her tears rolled down her soft cheeks. she wanted to badly end her life. she didn't want all of this pain anymore.

yn was laid upon her bed as she stared blankly at the ceiling. she felt so numb, so empty. she was indeed alive, but it was like she was a girl without a soul, a living corpse. she grabbed her phone and checked the time. it was a little past ten. she sighed and got off of her bed before walking into her bathroom to take a nice warm shower. tomorrow was the weekend, so she decided that she was going to go out with her best friend, jordyn.

looking out of the window, yn had one leg crossed over the other as she patiently waited for jordyn to arrive. it was lightly snowing as december had just started a few days ago. yn loved watching the snow as it always calmed down her nerves. as she was in her thoughts, the bell rang indicating that someone has entered. she looked towards the door and saw jordyn walking towards her with a soft smile. she sat down in front of her before looking at the girl in front of her.

"hey babe, how are you?", jordyn asked as she put her phone on the table. yn sighed as she felt her tears threatening to fall. she was very grateful she had a great friend like jordyn. she was always someone that yn could open up to, and she really felt thankful for that. "to be honest, i'm not okay. i just...my stepdad is really making my life a living hell. like, what did i ever do to him?", she said lowly as jordyn looked at her with soft eyes. jordyn's eyes suddenly widened though when she saw a giant bruise surrounding her right eye and a little cut on her bottom lip.

"yn, did he do all of this to you?", she asked, obviously concerned for her best friend. yn let out a shaky sigh as she looked at her. she slowly nodded as jordyn clenched her jaw, pissed off at the fact that her stepfather did all of this damage to her. "his words really hurt me, ya know? he always says i'm out fucking around with a bunch of guys. but in reality, i'm literally at the fucking library studying for our upcoming tests.", she said quietly as she didn't want anyone to hear her cursing.

jordyn's eyes filled with tears as she felt really bad for yn. an idea suddenly popped up into her mind which made her look at yn, who was silently crying. "babe, why don't you come and live with me in my apartment? it's only me and my boyfriend who live there. i'm sure he wouldn't mind if you stayed for as long as you'd like.", she said softly, but yn shook her head, rejecting her offer. "my stepfather told me that if i were to move out or run away, he would kill my mother and i can't have that. he's psycho jordyn, i'm telling you.", yn said as she clenched her jaw with a slight pout which made jordyn slightly smile at her cuteness.

"well, if there's anything that i could do for you, please text me. you know i'm always here for you, right?", she said as she placed her warm hand on top of yn's. she nodded with a soft smile as jordyn leaned over the table and gently wiped her tears with her thumb. "now, no more crying, okay? let's enjoy the rest of our day together. just you and me.", she said with a warm smile which made yn giggle. jordyn got up from the table to order their coffee. but, little did yn know, someone kept on staring at her. 'so fucking beautiful..', were the only words that kept repeating in his mind.

yn was in the kitchen, helping her mom with dinner. this is something she always loved doing. it was a way for her to escape from reality and spend some time with her mother. "honey, after dinner, i need to speak with you.", she said as yn furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, curious on what she wanted to talk about. "okay...well, is it bad?", she asked hoping that it wasn't. "well, i'm not sure how you'll feel, but we'll talk more after dinner.", she said with a warm smile as yn nodded and continued helping her mom.

yn sat down on the couch next to her mom as she smiled at her daughter. she was happy that her stepfather wasn't home. yn hated the fact that she had to hide all of this from her mother, but she didn't want her to be killed. not today, not ever. she wasted a lot of money on makeup as she had to cover all of her bruises, well at least the ones on her face. she always wore black leggings and a hoodie to cover up the ones on her neck and below.

"so, what did you want to talk about, mom?", she asked curiously as she sat criss cross on the couch. yn's mom softly smiled and took both of her daughter's small hands in hers. "well, honey, this house is just a bit to big for us. the electric bill also raised up by a few dollars. so, me and your stepdad decided that it would be better if we moved..", she said as yn's eyes widened in shock. she looked at her mom in disbelief as she chuckled at her daughter's reaction. "i know, it's so sudden. but, it would just be better for us.", she said with a small smile.

yn looked away from her mother and sighed deeply before looking back at her. she nodded and her mom hugged her tightly. yn slightly winced in pain as her bruises were still not treated. her stepfather didn't allow her to treat them, totally not caring if they get infected. yn's mom didn't seem to notice her daughter in pain, but she was fine with that. she didn't want her mother finding out about what he does to her daughter.

sighing, yn kept moving around in her bed as she couldn't fall asleep. her mind was filled with the thoughts of her going to a new school. she would miss jordyn very much. she was her only friend who helped her through her tough times. the seventeen year old sighed again as she sat up in her bed. it had just turned sunday and she would have to start packing in the morning. they will be moving to their new house on wednesday, but she won't be starting school until the following monday. after a few more hours, yn finally fell asleep.
