Marianna's P.O.V.

My eyes swell up with tears as my dad smacks me across the face. I run into my room trying to escape but he grabs me by my hair and throws me to the ground as he gets on top of me and starts to beat me. I swing back and get him in the arms he stands up appalled and I grab some of my clothing and throw it into my purse but soon he slaps me across the face, he throws me to ground from my waist and I struggle to get out of grip but, soon make it. I run to the door and he gets in one last punch.

I run out and go to the closest public place I know of the DX. I pull into the DX and ask the person working there, "do you have a phone that I can use?"

"Uh sure, it's in that small room," he told me.

I ran out of the car into the room and call Cherry and Randy. Soon they arrive with Bob.I run into Randy's arms and hug him with passion. "I love you," I whisper.

"I love you too," Randy whispers.

Soda's P.O.V.

Some girl came over asking,"do you have a phone that I can use?"

I simply respond, "Uh sure, it's in that small room."

I looked over at her to sit her beat up and bloody I rush over to help her but soon enough super Socs Randy and Bob are there along with Cherry. I stop dead in my tracks and walk away back to pumping gas. The rest of the day I was stuck in daydreams about that Soc just seemed so different than anybody else. She was actually nice.

When I got gone from work I heard that the gang was going to some party at Buck's house. I just shrugged to indicate that I was going.

Marianna's P.O.V.

I walk home after Cherry cleaned me up. We ended up ditched the boys because they were drunk. I was driven home by Cherry. "Are you sure it's safe to go home?" Cherry asked me like he always does.

"Yea I'm fine Cherry," I reply even though I know I'm not.

Cherry drives away and I wave goodbye. I walk into my house and my dad runs up to me and throws a punch at my face, it's throws me to the ground. I hold back my tears and don't fight back, I know the more I struggle the worse it gets. He finally lets me go but only because my mom walked in yelling, "what the hell do you think you're doing with my kid?"

"Sw-se-sweatie it's nothing," my dad stammers knowing my mom is against abuse.

"We're over!" My mom booms as she grabs me and runs out of the house.

"Mom, we have no place to go," I inform her worriedly.

"Marianna, why didn't you tell me about dad? I would of protected you," my mom says holding back tears.

"Don't worry mom, and you stay here." I say handing her a small sheet of paper, "can you drop me off here?"

The tears to a stop and she says with tears streaming down her face, "I love you Marianna."

"I love you too," I say as I kiss her on her head and get out the car.
