You met Conan your senior year of high school. You were sitting by yourself in the library. It had been one of those days when you and your parents had argued the night before. The three of you had never really gotten along, no matter what you did. While you were picking at your food with your hood on your head, someone sat next to you. You didn't have many friends, but you knew they were busy doing other things. You look up out of curiosity and seen a pair of eyes looking back at you. Conan Pierce. He was the LAST person you expected to be sitting with you. Conan was known for getting into fights and all kinds of trouble, partying, drinking, everything you would expect from a teenage boy. He was a smart kid, he just had a habit of acting out So, it was kind of different seeing him being all sweet, he had a smile on his face, and he offered you a cookie. He then proceeded to ask you what was wrong. That's when you broke down in tears and just ranted to him. Since then, you two have been inseparable.

The two of you started dating a while after that, ended up going to the same college. During breaks you would switch between staying at your parents' house and Conan's. Conan always preferred for you to stay at his because of how bad it would get with your parents. You, being you, you never thought it would get that bad with your parents. Yeah, you've gotten into some pretty heated arguments, but you never thought they would ever harm you...until now

It was spring break and instead of going to Conan's house you went to your parents. Everything was going fine until you spoke about your mother's unwanted opinion on something small. You and your mother started to go back and forth. That's when your father walked over and punched you in the face. He kept hitting you until your nose and lip were busted, any exposed skin had some kind of blue and purple bruise

The second you got the chance, you ran out of the front door as fast as you could. You heard your parents trying to stop you and footsteps approaching from behind. You jumped in your car and sped out of the driveway. You drove to Conan's house, tears were running down your face, your body was aching and throbbing in pain. Your head was starting to hurt from how much you were screaming

You had finally got to Conan's, you parked the car, locking your car door. You ran to the front door and opened it and shut it behind you. Your adrenaline started to slow down, and your nerves kicked in. you slummed against the door, sliding down it, and pulled your knees to your chest. You cried, you cried to the point your throat was burning. You didn't have the energy to look for Conan, you just sat there trying to process everything

That's when you heard his voice

"{{user}}?.."

You looked up and saw Conan, coming out of his room. The second you saw his face you felt safe, and comforted. Tears started brimming in your eyes as you started to sob again
