I stand up. I walk out of the dorm. I guess Ashton hadn't heard what had been happening.

I'm walking on the street. I bump into a girl.

"I'm so sorry." I apologize.

"It's okay." She replies.

She looked depressed. I look at her. She had bruises and scrapes.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"No. I'm not."

"What, what happened? Your covered..."

"I know. You don't need to point them out." She snaps.

"I'm sorry. It's just..."

"Hey Dakota!" A man yells.

"No. No." She whines.

"What?" I ask.

"We need to go." She briefly explains.

"What, why?"

The man gets closer.

"Come on!" She grabs me and we run.

I turn my head to see the man running after us.

I didn't understand. I didn't even know this girl's name or who the man was.

We stop. I notice we're on school campus. I turn around to see him missing.

"I think we're good." I turn to see the mysterious man again.

"Dakota." He speaks angrily.

"Leave me alone." She pleads.

"You disobeyed me. Why would you run?" He puts a hand on her face.

She whimpers helplessly.

He hits her. It was sickening. It was wrong.

"Hey!" I grab for his attention.

"Oh, you have a friend I see."

"You can't do that." I point to her.

"What? Do this?" He grabs her by her hair. She whimpers more.

"Stop, please." She begs.

He throws her, forcing her to crash down to the ground.

I pick her up.

"You can't do this!"

"I just did." He replies.

"You're on a school campus." I explain.

"Okay..."

He grabs her and squishes her face.

He kisses her? It was messy and obvious that she didn't like it. I pull her away. I run her up to my dorm.

I open the door. I close it behind me. Ashton jumps at the door slam.

"What was that?!" I yell.

"What's going on?" Ashton asks examining the girl.

"That man, who was he? Where did he even come from?!" I question.

"He's my boyfriend.." she answers

"Boyfriend? Boyfriend! That's, that's not a boyfriend!"

"Clem... what going on?" Ashton asks again. I ignore him.

"That's not a boyfriend. A boyfriend doesn't hit you! A boyfriend doesn't grab you by the hair and throw down to the ground!" I exclaim.

"Clem!" Ashton shouts.
