Meaghan’s POV

“Bye everyone!” I yelled and left the mansion to go to work. I work at Starbucks. I get paid enough to help pay for the mansion. I am the only one of the house who gets less money, which is why I help the pay with less money than the rest. Out of our little group I am what you call the “baby.” It is understandable. I am fragile. My feelings can get hurt really easy, and I am quite small for my age. That is why everyone is so protective.

I opened the door and got hit with the smell of coffee, fresh baked goods and warmth. I hummed happily and walked to the back of the store to see what I am doing today. I normally work at the cash register. Although I am not much of a talker, I am only working for 3 hours straight. No breaks. And yes, there is a reason why I don’t work longer. I wasn’t even supposed to get a job here. They had lots of people already. I was accepted because my cousin Josh, who works at Starbucks too, talked to the manager for me getting the job.

“Hey!” Josh exclaimed. I smiled at him.

“It looks like we are both cashiers today!”

“That’s good! We have more time of being together! After all we hardly ever see each other because of work and school.” I said. Josh nodded his head. I went up to one of the cash registers and so did Josh. This should be fun!

I am walking home. It’s cold and snow is falling gently from the sky to the ground. I knew it was cold, so why didn’t I buy a coffee while I’m walking home in this cold? I shivered violently. I have this feeling like someone is following me. I shrugged it off and kept walking. All of the sudden I felt a massive punch to my back. I groaned in pain and got pinned on the ground in the snow. It was the same girl from yesterday.

“Get off me!” I warned her. She snarled at me.

“You deserve this bitch for being a slut!” She yelled and punched me. She snatched my glasses off my face and threw them. Once she was satisfied she got off me. My nose was bloody and I knew I eye is is black. I tried to get up off the wet snow, but got kicked and fell back down. I cried. The girl kicked and punched me countless times before leaving. And that is when I started to cry cry harder.

I must’ve been lying on the ground crying in pain for an hour. My phone was ringing, but I couldn’t answer it. It only causes more pain. I know who it is anyways. My friends. Being brave I got up ever so slowly and started to limp my way home. I let the painful tears fall out of my eyes. I made groans of each of my body part hurting. I took minute breaks, just standing there breathing but in pain.

*

I smiled once I reached the mansion. I limped my way to the front doors. I fell in the snow. I couldn’t do it anymore. I was freezing and in pain. I need to get inside!

“HELP ME!” I screamed as loud as I could. I door flung wide open and my friends came running after me. I couldn’t see who they were. But I could hear them. I felt myself being lifted and then I passed out.
