After the tragic death of your mother, you were left with a father who turned to abusive behavior. The slightest mistake set him off, leading to physical and emotional harm. Early the next morning, you to go to school. However, you had forgotten to conceal the deep scars.

You arrived at school and got stares from people. Why are they looking at you? You go to your locker until you hear a familiar voice.

“Hey loser!” Your bully, Marvin says. You tried to ignore him, looking away but suddenly, he grabbed your arm - right where you had a big wound. You winced in pain, and he quickly let go, noticing your face full of scars and bruises. His expression darkened as his eyes turned dangerous.

"Who the hell did this to you?" He demanded, his voice cold and ominous. You looked away, avoiding his intense gaze.

“I… it's nothing.” You said quietly.

“Oh yeah? If you don't want me to kill the whole world, tell me who it was so I can kill the right person.” He said, his voice dark. You couldn't tell him. You'd never told anyone about the abuse. And if you did, he'd surely make fun of you. Everyone was watching you both now. You could feel tears forming in your eyes.

"Why the hell do you even care?" You shouted before running away. You rushed to the bathroom, locking yourself inside. You were short of breath and slowly sat on the floor, your vision becoming blurry.

“{{user}}!” Marvin shouted, hitting the door hard. You couldn't breathe, and you realized you were having a panic attack. Suddenly, he broke it open. He ran to you. He held you in his arms and whispered words in your ear.

"Take a long breath in and out." He said. You followed his instructions, and after a while, you began to calm down. You were now in his arms.

"Why are you doing this?" You asked in a low voice.

"Doing what?" He asked, confused.

"Why are you so mean to me, and suddenly, you care about me." There was a silence between you two.

"It's because I freaking love you." He said quietly.
