Claire's POV:

I woke up this morning not looking forward to school. I have been having problems with my boyfriend. Lately I have felt uncomfortable around him. When he comes to my house, he will leave bruises on my arms and legs. He also said that if I tell anyone he would hurt me, so I just keep my mouth shut.

I walked downstairs to meet my mom and Mason. Mason is my twin brother, he is really full of himself sometimes.

I sat down so I could eat my breakfast. My mom handed me a plate, that u quickly filled with pancakes and syrup. I walked to the cabinet to get a glass for my orange juice.

Once I was done with my breakfast, I walked back upstairs to my room. I walked to my closet to pick out and outfit. I decided in a black shirt, a read and black checkered flannel, some skinny jeans, and my black vans. I walked to my bathroom, put on my clothes and washed my face. I brushed my hair and got out my makeup. I then flipped a switch that turned on the lights around my mirror. I put on foundation, concealer, powder, mascara and did a little winged eyeliner. I looked at my outfit and decided to tie rhe flannel around my waist. I walked out of the bathroom, grabbed my backpack and walked downstairs.

Since Mason and I are a month older than Bryce, we're sixteen and he's about to turn sixteen. Mason and I got our drivers license a few weeks ago, so we drive to school.

I walked to the door, so I could go to school. I started to walk out the door when I heard someone running down the stairs.

"Claire, can you pick up Bryce this morning," Mason asked me.

"Why can't you pick him up," I asked.

"I'm going to be late if I pick him up," he said.

"Fine," I said while walking out the door.

I walked over to my car and opened the door. I set my backpack in the passenger seat. I started my car and drove to Bryce's house. He lives a few streets down from me, so it wasn't that far.

I drove up Bryce's driveway and honked my horn. He came out of his house and opened the door. I moved my bag to the backseat. He sat down and I started to drive to school.

"Hi Bruce,"I said to him.

"Hi Elizabeth," he said back to me.

"Don't call me that," I told him.

"Why don't you like being called by your first name?" He asked me.

"Because, Elizabeth is my dad's sister and ever since he walked out on us I hate that name," I told him.

He just sat there in silence shocked at what I just told him.

"But you don't have to be sorry, it's just I would rather be called Claire that Elizabeth," I said breaking the silence.

I pulled up into the schools parking lot and parked my car. I grabbed my bag from the backseat before I walked inside the school.

I opened the door, to the school, when I saw Cole. I ran to a side of the building.

"What are you doing?" Bryce asked me.

Should I tell him or just let things get worse.

"I'm just trying to avoid people," I told him.

"Well can I help," he asked me.

"Can you walk in with me and act like my bodygaurd?" I asked him.

"Sure, but I need.to know the reason why," he told me.

"Cole has been hitting me and I get bruises," I told him.

"Okay," he told me.

He grabbed my shoulders and lightly pushed me to the door. I opened it and he dropped his hands. I walked in and started to walk to my locker. I looked at bryce and he had a staight face, I noticed that that he clenched his jaw.

When I finally got to my locker I dialed my combination. I opened my locker and set my bag down. I grabbed a textbook, picked up my bag, and closed my locker.

"Don't you need to get your things?" I asked Bryce.

"Right now I want to make sure you're safe," he told me.

He walked me to my first period.

"Thank you," I said to him before I walked in.

*skip the school day*

I was walking to my.car when I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see Bryce.

"Claire, can you give me a ride," he asked me.

"Sure, get in the cart you rat," I told him.

He got into the passenger seat, while I started the car.

"Where did I take you?" I asked him

"Mason told me to go to your house," he told me

I drove to my house. When we got there Mason was already there, but mom was gone. I walked in the house with Bryce.

"Mason," I yelled so he could come down.

He ran down the stairs.

"What do you need Claire?" He asked me.

"I wanted you to know that Bryce is here," I told him.

"Okay, so what can we all do?" Mason asked us.

"We can go live on Younow," Bre said.

"That sounds like a plan," I told him.

"Can you go get your computer?" Bryce said.

I walked up to my room and got my laptop. I walked back downstairs and put it on my the table.

We took a picture and we went live.

"Hey guys, this is Mason and Claire," he said.

"What do you guys want to do?" I asked them.

"Don't you know how to cook?" Bryce asked me.

"Yeah, why?" I asked him.

"You can show us how to make something," Mason said.

Bryce picked up the laptop and we walked to the kitchen, he set it in the island. I looked in the cabinet to see what we had to cook. I found some pasta, and sauce.

"Okay, so first you need to,make sure to have the ingredients," I said.

The boys sat behind the computer while I showed them how to make spaghetti.

"Next, you want to pit water in a pot and bring it to a boil," I said while setting the pot on the stove.

"Once it starts to boil, you want to put it in the water and boil it until it's cooked," I said.

I opened the sauce and put it in a pan.

"Now you want to cook your sauce,'' I said. I poured the sauce and waited for everything to cook.

I walked to the computer and sat on a chair.

"Bryce come here," I said.

He walked over to the computer and I pointed at a certain comment.

"Guys, she's not my girlfriend. She is Mason, my best friends sister," he said.

I heard a knock at the door. I got up from the chair and walked over to the door. I opened it and saw...
