(Gerard's pov)

We went out of that house. I looked at the girls, they seemed terrified. “Kindle, are you okay?” Asked Cassie. Kindle nodded and tried to smile. Cassie looked very worried, she was blinking with no stop, opening and closing her beautiful green eyes that matched with the color of her hair. I couldn’t understand why a pretty girl like her is living that horrible life and also cutting her delicate pale skin… wait. What am I thinking? I think this affair got me confused.

A woman walked toward us. “Hey, Kindle. Your brother called us this morning asking us if you could stay some days in our house, he said he wanted some privacy with his girlfriend.” Who was this woman? “Isabella, I would love to spend time in your house with Alice she’s my best friend. But I haven’t spent much time with Cassie because of the homework and she’s like a sister to me.” Kindle said trying to not leave Cassie alone, that was a smart move, I like this girl. And with the contest I suppose that woman is Alice’s mother, the girl who sits next to Kindle in class.

At that moment the door of the house opened and Cassie’s “boyfriend” walked outside. “Oh, you are here.” He said looking at Isabella. “Yes, Kindle was going to pick up some clothe and stuff for a couple of days.” She said. “No I wasn’t.” “Kindle, don’t discuss with adults.” Kindle whispered “sorry” to Cassie and went inside the house, some minutes later she came back with a bag. “Alright, let’s go.” Alice’s mother said and walked to a car. Before following here, Kindle looked at Cassie very sad. “Don’t worry, I’ll be okay.” Cassie said to her. I noticed that she didn’t believe her, of course she didn’t, who would? She wasn’t going to be okay with that monster. She walked away and got into Isabella’s car.

“She isn’t going to stay here.” I said when they were gone. “Are you Mikey?” He asked ignoring what I said. “No, I’m Gerard, her art teacher.” “Okay, Gerard. Cassie lives here and she is going to stay here, you can’t do anything about it.” I really wanted to punch him. “She can’t stay with you.” “Have you heard me Getard? You can’t do anything to stop her of being here, you are only her art teacher.” I ignored his insult and said: “I could demand you for hurting her, physically and emotionally.” “You don’t have anything to prove that.” He smiled, like he was enjoying that. I was full of rage. “Yes! Cassie has multiple c-“ “Dean’s right, you don’t have anything to prove it.” Cassie interrupted me, I understand she didn’t want anybody to know about her… well, those things on her skin. But, did she really prefer staying with him? “See you tomorrow at school.” She said and entered the house. Dean, before following her, looked at me and said: “I don’t want to see you with her ever again, okay?”

The next day I all her classmates came into the classroom but Cassie. Fuck! What could have Dean done to her? I wished she was okay. I walked towards Jazmin and Ruby Lee. I asked them if they knew where Cassie was or if they knew if she was okay. They told me they didn’t speak to her yesterday after school but that she went to Mikey’s house and I should ask him. They didn’t know he was my brother because he doesn’t want his classmate to know that he’s the teacher’s brother. What I was supposed to do now?
