2nd Morningstar writers award 2021 winner Update: Completed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I stare at him for a while. I'm scared. But I really need to tell someone. Anyone. He's not asking questions about my face, nor prying. But I really want to tell him. To tell him I'm scared. That I live in a hellhole. "Come on choose one. I promise that I won't ask you to repay." Luke pushes a pastry forward. "I need to tell you something," I slowly tell him. "What, your favorite coffee is black? " He chuckles. "No," I swallow hard. I take off my glasses. He stops eating when he sees the big bruise on my face, "If you don't tell me, Abby. I can't help you." "The White's they..... They're the ones that did this to me." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: This story contains violence and abuse content --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do not own the images.
