The night was young. THe world will never be the same or at least for this young couple. The girl is 15 and the dude is 16. The love story is simple. The girl's parents are abusive, physically and emotionally. She is an only child. They get drunk, call her to them and lash out at her as if it is her fault that they don't get along. She was on the brink of we all know what when he stopped to pick up her books. She didn't really see or hear him at first, she thought that he was just a teacher or another bastard. But, instead he was the most beautiful thing that she had ever seen. He walked her to her class still holding her books for her. The next day she thought she would never see him again. But yet, again there he was waiting for her by her locker. When the jerk that pushed her books out of her hands came around again, she hung her head. As he approached, she quivered. Knowing what would happen next she loosened her grip. But, it never came. The guy next to her knocked that bastard to the ground and told him that if he touched her again, he would be dead. That was the moment she knew he would touch her in a way no one has ever touched her before. Two weeks later, he recieves a call saying that she needs help. Her father is out of control. He immediately calls the police and heads over to her. He gets there and the garage door is open. He pulls up the drive. Gets out of the car, just in time to see his love take a blow to the face. Yelling, he rushes up to him. *punch**punch* the father figure goes down. The young man turns to help her. As he sits her up, she shriekes "BEHIND YOU!!" He turns just as he takes a blow to the chest from a hammer. *kick* *kick* Blood oozing from his face and forehead he tries to stand but, his arm gives out under the weight. Broken. He reaches blindedly, for the blood is in his eyes now. He feels, what seems like a crowbar. As he stands, he wipes the blood from his stinging eyes. The blurry figure asks NOT FINISHED YET? HUH? WANT MORE? The young man swings the pry bar until the resistance is too much and a high pitched scream fills the air. A tight squeeze from his side snaps him back. Realizing that it is her by the smell of her hair, he relaxes. She leads him back to his car, and pulls out as the police arrive. She leans over to him and says "I will deal with them later. It is only 9 what do you want to do now." The night is young.
