(John's pov)

     I had been lying in bed for hours. tossing and turning trying to sleep. I couldn't get him out of my brain. I thought he loved me. I start College tomorrow morning but all I can think about is the hate in his eyes and the belt in his hand. should I tell someone? Yes. Will I tell someone? No. I should have listened to Martha. I curled up in a ball I felt empty inside. Darkness was closing in around me. I felt scared and alone. my scarred back still hurt. I started crying. why had I gone to my senior prom with Francis? 

              My Mama knocked on the door "John are you alright?" she asked concerned. I assume she heard me crying.

   "I'm fine Mama" I replied sniffling.

   "Okay you should get some sleep," she said sighing.

  "I'll see you in the morning," I said. I waited for her to leave then I buried my head under the covers and cried myself to sleep.
