Pryers POV
__________________________________________________________________________________
"Where have you been lately? Are you hanging out with that filthy girl again?"
"She's not filthy, and so what if I'm hanging out with her?" I yelled to my dad. I didn't expect my house to be so far away from Devie's so it took me awhile to get back home. When I did get home my dad obviously had something to say, but he never let me tell him what I did." She's a bad influence, what happened to Aurora?" He said and I rubbed my forehead out of frustration.
"Bad influence? Do you even know what that means? Aurora is the bad influence." I said and I watched as he grew angrier and angrier. He raised his hand and I patiently waited for him to slap me again.
But instead he curled his hand into a fist and punched me in my jaw. It hurt way worse, because he was wearing multiple rings. I could feel my mouth start to bleed.
"Dad..."
He angrily walked away and I could feel hot tears stream down my face.
My stepmom came into the room trying to calm my dad down, but she was shoved aside and onto the floor.
"No stay over there, please get the first aid kit." My step mom ordered one of the servants who had watched the whole seen. If they interfered they would've been beaten or fired or maybe even both.
"Mom you don't need to I'm fine." I said and she looked at me sternly, but her eyes were filled with sadness." I'll believe it when I see it." She began to put a healing cream on my jaw and put bandaids on the slight tears in my skin from the rings.
In total I had a three bandaids rimming around my jaw. It still hurt."I hate him so much. Why is he like this." My mom hugged me and I let her pat my head like a little kid. If this keeps going on I don't know how much I can take. It's not like I'm strong enough to fight back.

Devanie's POV

" What happened to you?" I said as I touched the band aids that were on Pryer's jaw. "It's nothing I just I ran into a wall." He said and I eyed him. When Pryer came to school this morning he was wearing a black turtleneck with a jacket around it. He kept tucking his face in the neck of his sweater.
Liar.
"Was it your dad?" I asked and he looked to the side not making eye contact with me. I looked at him sadly."Do you know why?" He shook his head and looked at me again. He took my head and kissed my forehead."Hey!" I said and covered my forehead, embarrassed.
"Your so cute Devanie." He said and I could feel my heart literally skip a beat." Whatever let's just go to class." I said and turned around to walk down the hallway. He followed me around like a puppy all day and Voya was starting to feel like a third wheel, but I feel like a third wheel when Fia just starts to openly flirt with Voya.
"Y'all are so cute, stop making me feel single." River said and Noah rolled his eyes." Oops forgot about you for a second Noah. I still love you." River then proceeded to kiss his thumb and press it onto Noah's cheek which only made Noah angrier.
"Why am I even here?" Leo said and put his face in the book he was reading in embarrassment. Suddenly someone grabbed my face gently to guide towards Pryer's. "Look at me." He said and I shook my head away from his in panic. He began laughing at my sudden reaction.
"You really know what you're doing huh?" I said and he laughed again and took a bite of his apple. "I guess you could say that. Devie."
He had an amused look on his face while he stared at me. I could tell he was studying every little detail on my face." When I went to your house yesterday all I saw were people that looked exactly like you, but older." He said and I looked at him confused.
"You have a beautiful family Devie." He said and I smiled at the sudden compliment.
"Maybe you should compliment me too, I shouldn't spoil you to much now." He said and I scowled at him." Well, you have really pretty eyes and your left eye is my favorite, because it has a mole under it." I said and he looked genuinely surprised.
"I guess that makes sense. They say that the mole is where the most attractive part of someone is." He said and leaned towards me."I guess freckles can't count as moles, so where's your mole Devie?"
I pushed him away and he laughed again." Gross, get your mind out of that dirty place. I have a really small one on the palm." I said and raised my hand to his face and he took my hand and kissed the mole.
I almost immediately snatched my hand away and he laughed.
"Cute."
