Broken Girl

*Jaylynn*

"Get up you, whore," My mother snarls and hits the back of my head.
"Fuck off," I say into the pillow.
She grabs my ponytail and I let out a cry.
She shoves me into the wall and screams at me.
The downstairs phone rings and my mother stomps away to answer it. I take this as my chance and climb out my window.
I walk down the street, no shoes, and in a tank top and sweatpants.
I walk all across town until I hear someone yell my name.
I spin around and look for who said my name.
"Jaylynn!" I hear again and I look to the house about 20 steps in front of me.
"Samantha?"
Samantha is standing in the doorway of her house.
"Wanna come in?" She asks.
"I um. I guess."
I slowly pad into her house and she shuts the door.
"Where are your shoes?" She asks me.
"My house."
"Okaaayy."
She sits on the couch and I sit beside her, my arms wrapped tightly around my torso.
"Wanna watch a movie?" She asks.
"Sure."
"Do you like disney movies?"
I nod. "Aladdin is my favorite."
Her eyes light up. "Mine too!"
She turns on the TV and the opening credits of Aladdin are on the screen.
She curls up beside me on the couch and lays her head on my shoulder. 
I look down at her and she blushes. "Sorry. I'll move if you want."
I shake my head. "No! No. It's fine."
She nods and snuggles into me.
About halfway through the movie, my eyelids start to droop and I rest my head on the top of Samantha's  head.
"Night night," She whispers.
I close my eyes and go to sleep.
An hour later
"Wake up," I hear.
I slowly open my eyes and come face to face with Samantha.
"I saw your cuts," She whispers.
I don't say anything. I stare down at the ground and she lifts my chin up to look at her.
"It's ok," She says softly.
She slowly pulls up her sleeves and I see lines of cuts and scars.
She rests her forehead against mine and I shut my eyes.
Kiss her. Kiss her, Jaylynn.
"Samantha?" I whisper softly.
"Hm?"
I gently press my lips to hers and get lost in her.
She kisses me back and wraps her arms around me.
Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
