• biggrin He knew his fathers beatings were getting worse ,especially when he was drunk, but he took it for his little sister , Janene , who is 14 years old . He got up everday just for her, she was the only thing to keep him from running away never to be seen again. He stayed for Nicole too, because veside Janene she was the only one who understood him.
    biggrin When I looked at Nicole I knew somethinf was wrong .
    "Hey whats up,"I asked
    "She grabbed my arm and led me to the insode of her car, she than began to stare at me really hard.
    "Is there a problem Nicole becu-," she cut me off.
    "You, your my problem. Everyday you come to scholl with a new bruise. Sometimes you'll be absent for like three days and come back with a black eye , or a swollen lip, but you wal around like it's no big deal.' Tears began to fall from her eyes. "You know I'm your best friend . You ca trust me with anything , yet you still hide stuff from me , and the bruises are really starting to scare me. Im afraid one of these days your going to come home again and I'll never see you again ."
