I feel her hand on my arm as I watch his car drive away.
"Go inside, Azalea," she says and I do as she says with her following right behind me.
She shuts the door behind us as soon as we're both inside.
"You shouldn't be bringing him around like that," she says and I look down at my feet.
"If your father would've found out about him being here, we don't know what he'd do," she says and I'm thankful that she's fully sober at the moment.
"Make my back welt up with his belt? Or lock me in Jake's room again?" I question out looking up at her. Her dark brown hair lays flat and her eyes look back at me tiredly. I notice a faint bruise on her cheek and I grow upset.
It's one thing to put his hands on me; I understand his violence against me. But mom did nothing.
"When did he start hitting you?" my voice cracks.
"I don't know," she breathes, shaking her head slowly.
"Please," I plead, my eyes tearing up but I don't let them fall.
"Please stop drinking," I whisper out, watching her dulled blue eyes well up. I turn and go up to my room, not giving her time to answer.
Please.

Chapter 16: Miami
? Grey ?
A day after touching down in Miami, we've settled in where we've been put to stay and have been introduced to the unit we're assisting for the rest of the week.
It pisses me off the looks we get because we're young. If we were fucking bad at what we did, we wouldn't have the job we do.
It doesn't piss me off as much as the fact that Azalea is obviously hiding something from me. And not letting me touch her. And the way she had ignored me for afull fucking week. And one day.
The girl doesn't fucking understand that I've thrown everything I used to do all away for her. It's not like I did shit with a girl every night or anything but I had the occasional hookup and 'fun.'
It's different going as long as I have without hooking up and not evenwanting to.
Unless the girl is her.
And I know that Jonas catching me and her in that room together hurt her. Him being the fucking idiot he is just had to add the 'another one?'
The only other one beside Azalea that had been in that room with me was a random girl that had followed me into the back room. Did we do shit? Hell no, I kicked her drunk ass out. But did Jonas just happen to walk in there? Yeah.
But I'm not a liar and Idowant to fall in love with her.
Who wouldn't want to?
