Demi sat at her desk as the children came in. She wasn't really paying them any mind until Toby made another wonderful announcement. "What's wrong with your shoulder, cry baby?" Toby screamed. Demi shot Toby a glare, and he sat down.

"Toby, sit your behind down. Maci can you go in the hallway?" Demi said. Maci nodded, and did what she was told. Demi got up from her chair and went to the hall. "Maci, turn around." Demi instructed. Maci turned and moved her hair out of the way. Demi gasped. "Maci who did that to you?" Demi demanded to know.

"My daddy." Maci answered. Demi sat in front of Maci. 

"Maci, does your grandpa or mom know?"  Demi asked. Maci nodded. "What else has your dad done?" Maci sat down, and pulled up her shorts legs. Demi saw the abrasions on her inner thighs. "Okay, Maci im gonna take you to the teachers lounge." Demi said standing up and getting a fill in for her class.

Joe sat in the office with Shailene and Demi. "Why is it everytime im around you, something is wrong?" Shailene spat at Demi.

"If Liam could control his anger, maybe your daughter wouldn't be on her way to a hospital." Demi spat back. Then the principal came in.

"Miss Woodley, Mr. Jonas, and Miss Lovato, what brings you by?" Principle Grey asked sitting at his desk.

"There were several bruises, from beating, and sexual abuse." Demi started. Joe looked at Shailene upset.

"You let Liam near Maci!?!?" Joe freaked.

"Yes, daddy, but it was only a sec-" Shailene was cut off by Joe.

"Stop! I told you Liam was no good, and you still didn't listen. Now look, your daughter, my granddaughter, is seriously hurt. Good job." Joe said sternly, "When this is over I'm calling your mom, you can't stay with me anymore. You are irresponsible, and I told you what would happen if this happed." Joe finished. Shailene was in tears, by now.

"Daddy, you can't take her! Please, she needs me!" Shailene cried. Joe stood up in rage.

"She needs you? Where were you last night, when Liam was raping, and beating her, huh?! SHE NEEDED YOU, AND YOU WEREN'T THERE!?!?!" Joe screamed, tears pouring down his face.

"Daddy-"

"NO! I'M DONE WITH YOUR BULL!" Joe said, flipping a chair, and leaving the room.

"Then he flipped a chair." Demi explained to Olivia.

"That's crazy! I wish dad were that protective over us." Olivia said. Demi sighed, and nodded. "Well, I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight." Demi smiled, as Olivia galloped up the stairs.
