Stained Glass Eyes And Colourful Tears

"What am I doing here?" I asked him.
"I found you passed out on the street, called the ambulance and now you are here" He smiled and stood up. "I'm going to go get the nurse" He said as he walked out the room. And there I sat, confused, stiff and I hadn't noticed it until now but my head hurt like hell. Vic reappeared with a nurse by his side. She was pretty, tall, looked about 25 by the looks of it with short black hair.
"Hiya sweetie, how are you feeling?" She asked as she inspected the dripped and my heart rate.
"Sore..." I replied blankly.
"Do you remember anything about last night, love?" The nurse asked, concern filled her eyes as she looked at me.
I couldn't tell her what happened, I had no where else to live if my dad got arressted. Better safe than sorry I suppose. Here goes nothing...
"My dad. It was my Dad..." Tears filled my waterline, stinging like acid as I tried to hold them back.
"He beat me up a-and I t-t-tried to run away..." I glanced over to Vic who sat there, eyes wide and a sympathetic look started to form on his face.
"I found her lying on the sidewalk. She was pretty battered up..." He added quietly.
The nurse stood there the whole time taking it all in, she looked genuinely concerned but then again, she's meant to.
"I'm going to have to call a few people okay? This young boy has found you just at the right time." She patted his shoulder as she walked out the door. Vic just shrugged and looked at me.
"Thank you.." I finally said quietly. In a way he saved my life.
He smiled weakly. "I didn't catch your name?"
"Oh yeah..sorry. I'm Marnie. How old are you?" I asked.
"Pretty name, I'm 16. You?"
I felt my cheeks blush slightly.
"T-thanks and 16,too."
We must have sat and talked for a while until the nurse came back with 2 other women.
"Hello, love. Can you tell me your name?" The nurse asked, she had a notebook in her hand as she wrote some things down.
"Marnie, are you going to arrest my Dad?" I asked.
The 2 other women looked at each other before replying. The taller of the 2 who look about 35 spoke first.
"At the moment, yes. We do, however, need to look at the story in a bit more detail"
The other woman continued. "We can't arrest a man if we don't have enough proof"
A few months later
My Dad was soon arrested and Vic stayed with me the whole time. I guess he was nice to be around. We hung out a lot after that and soon we became inseperable. I stayed at my Aunties home in New York but sometimes stayed at Vics house every now and then.
I lay in bed one morning, still half asleep when the phone rang. I slowly turned on my side and reached for the phone which was on the bed side cabinet. It was Vic.
"...Hello." I croaked.
"Hey, sleepyhead. I got some new movies if you wanna come round and watch them with me?"
"Uhm..yeah, sure. What time suits?" I groaned, still tired and yawning.
"Just whenever you're ready. See you soon"
And with that, the call ended. I got up out of bed and stared at myself in the mirror. The sight of it made me cringe. My messy black hair was like a birds nest, I hadn't taken off my make-up off so it was running down my face. ugh. I cleaned up and got dressed, not bothering to put any make-up on and putting my hair up in a messy bun (which I was very proud of)
I was wearing black skinnys, an All Time Low tee and navy toms.
----------
I jogged up to the door and knocked 3 times. The door opened several seconds later, Vic stood in the doorway gesturing me to come in.
"How've you been?" He asked.
"Fine, every thing has just been fine." I lied. My self harm was starting up again, I couldn't tell him though. It would crush him...
He looked at me straight in the eye. He was absolutely beautiful now that I thought of it.
"I can read you like a book, go upstairs. I'll be up in a minute" He said as he pulled me into a hug.
----------
I jogged upstairs to his room and slumped onto his bed, he soon walked in with food and drinks. He placed them on the tv stand and jumped onto the bed before sitting down in front of me. His hands were around my wrist.
"So how've you been? I want the truth"
He looked at me, concern and worry just filled his eyes.
"I've ju-"
I was interrupted by a large banging on the door. We both froze for a minute, staring at the bedroom door. Someone was trying to get into the house.
"..Vic?..." I said, my voice cracking.
"My parents aren't home and won't be for another 2 days. Mike is in his room..."
I jumped up and ran into Mikes room, hoping it was just him playing a prank on us. He was lying on his bed playing xbox.
"Who's at the door?" He asked, not taking his eyes off of the moniter.
My beeped causing me to jump. It was my Aunty.

Marnie, get home now. Dad got out. They can't find him.
