Charlotte POV

"What the fuck did you tell him this time?" Shelby spits. She glared at me, her eyes narrowed into splits as she cornered me in the bathroom.

"The truth" I say, pushing her off of me and smirking, "I told him how you are putting others down to get what you want" I say, I stand my ground towards her.

"I was telling you the truth! He is only with you because you live together!" She screamed, shoving me.

My back hit the wall, sending shooting pains all down my back.

"No he isn't!" I say. I shove her back, so hard that she falls on the floor.

"He doesn't really like you!" She hissed, standing up and putting both of her hands on my shoulders to keep me against the wall.

"Well he hates you!" I say. He told me many times how he hates her, "he loves me, if he didn't, why did he give me a promise ring?" I spat. I knew i was pushing my luck but rubbing it in her face was actually quite satisfying.

I felt a stinging sensation on my cheek as my head was crashed into the wall.

She slapped me in the face.

I take a deep breath before i let out a laugh.

"A bitch slap coming from a bitch. Should've saw that coming" i say bitterly. She steps forward and i take that as my opportunity to shove her backwards. "Do it again, i fucking dare you Shelby. Slap me again and i'll make sure to slap you so hard into next week" i say bitterly.

I saw fear light up in her eyes before she literally runs out of the bathroom.

I look into the mirror and see a red mark on my face, and it stung like a fucking bitch too.

I got my makeup bag out of my school bag and put a little concealer onto the red patch.

Once i was happy that you couldn't see it, i left the bathroom only to be harshly tugged into an empty classroom.

"Get o.." im cut off when a hand covers my mouth and drags me into a classroom.

Once im in, he locks the door shut and turns to me.

"Ted? What the fuck? Let me out!" I say harshly and he says nothing. He walks closer to me and grips my arm tightly, so tightly it was bound to leave a bruise.

"Tyrell never will love you" he spits in my ear, "does he know you were raped and your parents watched. Does he know you got beaten by them. Does he know you used to starve yourself to get skinny, even though it didn't work" he hissed.

I didn't know how he knew that but those were the worst things that happened to me.

"Does he know that every so often you cry yourself to sleep. Does Tyrell know that you used to have depression and cut yourself?" I felt tears fill my eyes.

Fuck. How did he know that?

"It seems he doesn't know you that well, right buttercup?" The name my dad used to call me after he finished beating me. It sent chills down my spine.

Ted smirked before walking off and i was frozen before i ran and locked myself in a girls toilet.

I begin to cry.

I cried because what Ted said was true.

I cried because i was raped and my parents didn't dare help me.

I cried because I've been tempted to buy those pills again.

I cry because i used to self harm because of my low self esteem.

And mostly, i cry because deep in my heart i know Ty can do a trillion times better than me.

"Charlotte" i head Ben's soft voice.

"Come on, sweetie. Open the door" i hear Emilia say gently.

I ignore them because the tears wouldn't stop falling.

I felt worthless, i felt as if ty would do better, i felt fat and ugly, i felt that everyone hated me. I felt there was no reason to be alive.

"Char?" I freeze when i hear Ty's voice. "Babygirl, let me in" he whispers.

"I.. im fine" i whisper.

"No baby, you aren't fine" he whispers back, "let me in if you don't want to come out" he says and i unlock the door.

He comes in and i run into his arms, hugging him tightly as i cried on his shoulder.

"Shh, babygirl, explain what happened" he says softly.

"I..he" i stutter but couldn't get any words out.

Tyrell locks the door and sits on the floor, he sits me in his lap and hugs me until I'm all out of tears.

"Now can you explain?" He murmurs quietly. I nod my head, about to start.

"Who the fuck done this to you Charlotte?" Tyrell's voice booms. He looks at my face and sees the red mark.

"Shelby" i mutter.

He looks over me, as if checking for any other injuries.

His eyes narrow on my bruised wrist.

"Ted" i say meekly.

"What?" He asked, his eyes turning deadly.

"Ted did it" i say and i feel the anger radiating off of his body.

Since i knew he was beyond angry, i didn't know whether to begin to say what happened.

"Im not angry at you babygirl, im just angry at those assholes" his eyes hold a glint of anger and rage.

"Do you want to know what happened?" I asked and he nodded.

I begin to repeat to Ty what happened, from when Shelby slapped me till every single thing Ted said, even the pills since Ty knew about everything else.

"You don't want them now, do you?" He asked when i finished talking.

"Maybe just to lose a bit of weight" i sigh, looking anywhere but him.

"No" he says suddenly. "I love you charlotte. I love your hair and your eyes and your smile and your body. I love you how you are. Who cares what they say, they are irrelevant" Ty says, "please don't take them again" he begs.

"Okay" i whisper and he kisses my forehead.

"I love you babygirl, i always will" he says and i smile. Even at the worst times, those three words make me a bit happier.

"I love you too" i say.

He helps me up, and after grabbing my hand, we walk into Tys car, since it was lunch.

"I'm taking you out" Ty grins.

"You aren't even going to ask?" I question but willingly got into the car anyway.

"Don't need to, i know you are into me, and I'm into you too" he gives me a cheeky smile and i roll my eyes.

"Boys" i mutter.

"What was that?" Ty asked, with a smirk.

"I said i love you" i smile innocently and he rolled his eyes yet kisses my hand.

"Its a good job i love you too then"
