Chris POV:

I wake up with a banging headache grasping my brain, "fuck", I say as tears are brought to my eyes. I'm suddenly flooded with memories of last night as I rub my temples. Looking around the room Daniel is nowhere to be found, probably out with the guys as usual. My friends and I have plans to go out drinking later, I need space between me and him. I don't know how much I can take anymore, everything has become unbearable and messy. As I continue to wonder what changed within him I get a text from my best friend Will. Grabbing my phone I see on the screen "Outside, hurry up Ik you're not ready yet lol" and I quickly text back, "Ok I won't be long." I pull a hoody over my head and pull dark skinny jeans on, then as fast I can put on my converse and head out to Will.

TIME SKIP TO THE BAR:

I sit down next to Will and my other friend Devi, they're both talking about something but I've zoned out thinking about my own issues and how I'm gonna get out.

"Chris?" I'm pulled back to reality.

"Huh? What?", I say looking up at Devi, he looks aggravated with me because he has to repeat his question.

"Why is there a bruise on your face and a goose egg on your forehead?", he asks looking confused.

"I uh- well", he cuts me off with,

"Just tell us the truth, it's from Daniel isn't it?", I nod after his question. I look down seeing his fist ball up and I flinch as he speaks again.

"I'm going to kill that bastard", me and Will stay quiet not knowing how to answer or make things better.

ANOTHER TIME SKIP: They go to Devi's house to hangout

All three of us sit on Devi's couch playing Call of Duty. My mind is still racing as we play, I can't stop thinking about what happened, about how I want everything to end. Will and Devi both seem to notice me not being there and just watch me for a second.

"W-what?", I say as I get caught zoning out.

"What all happened last night? ", Devi asks, showing a little bit of his caring side that no one but me and Will sees.

"Uh- well, he came home screaming about work and called me pathetic, so I told him that I know and tried to walk out of the room but he smacked me then I fell into the wall passing out.." I say as I lower my head, staring at my wrist, pulling the sleeve over my cut up arm. He nods and says a little heated, "He do that too?" pointing at my wrist, I shake my head looking back up at him.

As the night goes on Will and I decide to stay the night, which I know Devi wanted so he could protect us, well mainly me. Devi is very protective over me ever since we met, it was only a year ago but we're very close despite that.
