About half way home Ian had stopped to pull his phone from his pocket, deciding to play his music on his walk to keep the silence away. With a cough he shoved his phone back into his pocket when music began to play, the tune drifting from his pocket as he closed his eyes for a second. "She's going to kill me with not telling me what's wrong." He sighed, running a hand through his hair. Even after knowing her for a couple days Ian had felt like he should protect Lewanna, but he had the feeling she wanted to keep herself distant from him. Like she didn't want him to know some secret of hers, but then again what kid so well known around the school would want to let a disturbing truth out about them knowing their reputation could be on the line.

Lewanna stepped off the bus, her feet easily bringing her across the road and in front of her house. She sighed gently as the bus pulled away. She breathes a sigh of relief when she saw her fathers car wasn't home. She walked gently to the front door, but hesitated. She stood there for a moment, running ideas through her head before turning and walking back off the porch. She walked down the sidewalk to her neighborhood park. 'I can't go home today.' She thought to herself. She sat down on a bench, careful to be surrounded by bushes so as not to be visible from the road. She took a few deep breaths as she settled into the bench, closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.

After a few songs went by Ian noticed he'd somehow walked past his house and, with a sigh, he turned around to look down the street his house was on and decided against going home for now. "A good walk should help me clear my head." He mumbled, removing his phone from his pocket to turn it off as he continued to walk down the sidewalk, his feet seeming to take him nowhere in particular before he decided to take a rest and sit down at the steps of an old house and close his eyes with a low sigh.

Lewanna let her thoughts wander. How she'd probably get beaten for this. How she'd ruined her and Ian's friendship. How she was supposed to live like this. She let out a frustrated groan, running her hands over her face and through her hair. Her bright eyes glanced around, confusion etching itself onto her face when she saw a couple police cars drive by. She realized it was probably late by now, since the sun had set a while ago, but she couldn't bring herself to care. She leaned back against the bench, her eyes fluttering before she drifted off to sleep, unaware her father had called the cops and that they would be looking for her in the morning.

Ian made his way back home after a few hours of walking, his phone now dead from being used all day. The sun was already beginning to set as he walked back towards his house, his heart suddenly skipping a beat when he noticed a cop car drive past him. "Somebodies busted." He mumbled, glancing back to watch the car disappear around the corner as he made his way up his porch and into his house. Both his parents were already fast asleep, his dinner was sitting in the center of the table with plastic wrap around it to keep it safe from any flies and the cold air. He sighed, running a hand through his hair as he removed the plastic and stuck the plate into the microwave as his stomach began to growl for nourishment.

Lewanna jerked awake a couple hours later, her heart slamming in her throat as she gasped for air. "Stupid nightmares." She mumbled, leaning over and burying her face in her hands, doing her best to even out her breathing. She noted it was really late, the moon shining brightly over the park. She stood up, knowing she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep for a while after that. She let out a soft groan, knowing she would be really tired the next day, but not really caring. She thought about what she should do. 'I should run away. So find a job and live on my own where he can't find me. If I do that I won't be a human punching bag anymore.' She thought bitterly to herself. 'Yeah. I'll go to school in the morning to get my stuff, then head out.' She thought to herself. She walked around for a while before falling asleep back on the bench.

(Sorry for such a long wait :c Christmas break just ended for me yesterday so I should get back into posting like usual :) )

Ian had finished eating his plate shortly after walking in the door, the dirty dish now piled into the sink with the others as he sat in the kitchen mulling over his homework. He sighed, chewing on his pencil before he pushed away from the table and began to search the fridge for something to drink. Other than having to worry about his school work he couldn't help but worry about Lewanna. He didn't even say good bye to her before leaving school and the police cars driving past him when he was making his way home only seemed to worry him before. "Why are you even worried about her." He groaned to himself, rubbing at his aching eyes as he pulled out a bottle of water and sat back at the table and frowned as he went back to work.

After a few hours Ian had finished his work, stuffed his binder back into his bag, showered, and got ready for bed. He switched his lights off as he huddled under his heavy blanket and closed his eyes as sleep took over, though he was restless through the night. Nightmares had come and gone, dreams of his new friend being horribly damaged kept coming to mind. Only when the buzzing of his alarm and the sound of chirping birds sounded did he finally pull away from the dreams as he went to his daily routine to get ready for school.

(Tis fine. ^^)

Lewanna woke with a jolt, her eyes flickering around quickly before she remembered she was in the park. "Right. I didn't go home." She thought to herself. She stood up softly, brushing herself off before grabbing her backpack and walked along the sidewalk, heading towards the school. Her hair was pretty distinguishable, since she had never seen anyone else with her color of hair, but she hadn't thought to put a hood on. She walked into the main doors of the school, right past the main office. She froze for a moment, whipping around when she heard someone yell. "Hey you. Stop right there!" She caught sight of a couple police officers. 'Did father call the cops?' She thought to herself. One was a fairly tall, muscular guy, and the other was a little shorter, more lanky cop. They both sped from the office, straight towards Lewanna. She felt her heart leap in her throat as she turned, dropping her bag and booking it through the school. She was fast, but injured, she couldn't run as fast as normal.

She heard the cops gaining ground in their chase, and she panicked. She turned into a hallway, having done a loop around the school and headed for the main doors. She hadn't noticed the third cop. She ran past the office again before she was slammed into from the side. A scream tore from her throat as she slammed into the ground, the cop pinning her and telling her to stop resisting. Her heart slammed into her throat, unable to breath as the pressure from the police officer injured her farther. She felt, more then heard, the other two make it to her, their breathing labored as she felt more pressure on her, her hands being drug behind her and hand-cuffed. She couldn't breathe from the pressure, the pain overwhelming. She felt two of the cops get off of her, her hands now securely in hand cuffs. She struggled to breathe, not hearing a word the third cop was saying. He went to haul her up and onto her feet but the movement tore a pained half-scream from her, her mouth open as she tried to gasp for breath.

Ian woke up the next day, his body aching from the long walk he had gone through the day before and with a tired sigh he sat up in bed. He rubbed at his eyes tiredly as he moved out of his bed and made his way downstairs so he could make himself breakfast, the sound of faint sirens pulling him from his sleepy state of mind. "What has them all in a fuss." He mumbled tiredly, squinting slightly as he began to raid the fridge, taking out a muffin from the back of it and stepped outside as he took a bite. "Can't remember the last time someone got pulled over by the cops." He mumbled through a mouthful of muffin, snorting a little as he looked around to see if he could figure out where the sirens were coming from. "I wonder who they got." Ian mumbled to himself.

Lewanna fought against the pressure, her lungs on fire as she struggled to breath. The police officer that had tackled her looked at her, confused for a moment as he lowered her back to the ground. "You alright missy?" He questioned gently, a bit of worry laced in his voice. Lewanna tried to speak, but that just caused a few harsh coughs to tear from her lungs, a little bit of blood dripping out of her mouth. "Easy. Easy missy." The cop said quickly, snapping the handcuffs off and lying her on her back. "Call an ambulance Matt!" The police officer yelled, causing the other two to jerk their heads towards him, before radioing it in. He turned back to Lewanna, his hands hovering over her, unsure of what to do. "My name is James and i'm a police officer. Take it easy and we'll get you some help. Who did this to you?" He spoke softly, his fellow officers keeping other students back as he tried to help Lewanna, who was struggling to breathe, her hands wrapped around her chest. She started to cough again, and Officer James helped her roll onto her side, a bit of blood leaking from the corner of her mouth as she coughed.
