"What?!?" Mathis asks, shocked from the
information he just learned.
I didn't anwser. I was afraid something else might
come out of my mouth I didn't want anyone knowing.
"Marina! Talk to me." Mathis
continued.
"I- I-....." I couldn't get myself to say
anything. "I love you."
It was Mathis' turn to be speechless. "I love
you, too."
I looked down at the sand not knowing how to continue the
conversation.
"Hey, Marina?" Mathis said, his voice
hesitant.
"Yeah?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
I break out into a smile. In the short amount of time
we'd known eachother we'd fallen in love.
Everything else seemed behind me. It was history.
"Yes." I say looking out across the
water. This might sound corny but I guess you could say I
foulnd my fish.

I woke up to the sun streaming in my still open window. I
sat up and rubbed my eyes. And then the memories of last
night flood my brain. The beating. Me cutting
myself. Then, Cody yelling at me. I struggled to
get out of bed and walked over to my dresser. Changing
into a blue tank top and a pair of tan shorts. I grab my
make-up bag and head into the bathroom.
Trying to cover up the evidence from last night. I slip
on some black sandals and walk out the back door. My
phone starts to vibrate so I take it out of my pocket to see
who is calling.
Mathis.
"Hey." I say after pressing the accept call
button.
"Hi, Marina." Mathis said on the other end of
the line.
"What's up?" I asked trying to sound as
happy as possiable. The problem is I'm not a good
lier. My voice would always crack when I'm lying or
hiding something.
"You alright?" Mathis asked.
"Yeah." My voice cracked again.
"You don't sound alright." He said.
"Okay, fine, I'm not alright." I yell
through the phone. "My dad came home drunk yesterday
and beat me. I got in a fight with Cody. I cut
myself. And to top it off I have a disorder that can give
me cancer." I take in a deep breath then stop
myself. Now someone knew my secret. What I
hadn't told Cody last night. WHat I'd been hiding
from everyone

Cody's POV
Oh my god! What happened to you?" I asked
Marina, walking up to her. She told me about her
dad. How he'd come home drunk. Beaten
her. And by the end she was in tears. I pull her
into a hug.
"Hey, you always have me." I whisper into her
ear.
"Please don't give me sympathy." She says
through tears. "It makes me feel inferior."
"Why?" I ask her.
I can see in her eyes the she is debating to tell me
something. "Just forget it, okay." She
finally says.
"But, you can tell me anything." I press
on.
"I said forget it." She snaps and begins to
walk away.
I knew I'd gone to far and grab her wrist.
Marina's POV
I tell Cody about how my dad beat me and nothing else.
Not how I cut or that I have NFtype1. I make the mistake
of telling him I don't want sympathy.
"Why?" He asks.
"Just forget it, okay." I tell him.
"But, you can tell me anything." He presses
on.
"I said forget it." I snap at him before
walking away.
Cody wraps his hand around my wrist and I wince in pain.
Cody turns me around to face him and pulls up the sleeve of my
sweatshirt.
"What's wrong with you?" He yells.
"Why'd you cut yourself?"
I'm knocked speechless and don't know what to
say. Insted I pull the sleeve back down and just walk
away. Silently crying.

I needed to talk to someone. Tears still ran down my face
as I aproached his house. I bent down and grabbed a few
pebbles off the ground. throwing them at his second floor
window. It took a few hits before he finally came to his
window and opened it.
"Hey, what's up?" Cody asked. I could
tell I had woken him up.
"I just need to talk to someone, can you please come
down?" I ask just loud enough for him to hear.
"Sure, be right down." He replided before
closing the window.
Cody's POV
I woke to the sound of a rock hitting my window. I
struggled to get out of me bed and shuffled over to the
window. I could see Marina standing outside. She
looked scared.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask, tired, considering
it was 2 in the morning.
"I just need to talk to someone, can you please come
down? She asks.
"Sure, be right down." I say before closing the
window. I sigh, and pull on a shirt, before I tip-toe
down the hall and don the steps. Wanting to know why
Marina was upset.

~~~~~
I was brusied and bloodied. A large gash ran across my
left temple. The moment the lock had clicked my dad burst
into the room and had kicked me in the gut. I then took a
kick to my knee and it buckled underneth me. I took a few
more hits and when he had hit me across my forehead, which I
asumed created the gash. Everything had gone black.
I had woken up half an hour ago, seeing it was dark
outside. Past midnight atleast. So, I opened my
window and let the cool ocean air in. Then, crept into
the bathroom with a fresh blade.
Now, looking down at my wrists, I was disgusted with
myslef. My was taking my anger out on myself. I was
my own enemy. I threw on a sweatshirt and crawled out the
window. I walked down the empty beach. Letting the
sand run between my toes.
I sat down and finally burst into tears. I had an abusive
father, to tie up with my disorder. My hand went up to
the back of my neck. Where one of several tumors
were. An abusive father, a disorder that can kill me and
me harming myself. I stood up and started to
walk.

~~~~~
Mathis grabs me by the waist and hoists me over his
shoulder. I try to get him to release me but he
refuses. I sturggle, but it's no use. He's
stronger than he looks. I plinge into the cold ocean
water. Goose-bumps run up my arms. I kick my feet
and rise to the surface, smiling like and idiot.
"You are so dead!" I yell at him. I
splash him with water and he returns the favor.
The next few minutes it's an all out war. We
wrestle. Sometimes I'll have the upper-hand and
I'll dunk him. Sometimes, I'm the one that's
underwater. Eventually he surrenders.
"Victory!" I scream throwing my hands in the
air.
"Yeah, yeah." He says waving it off.
~~~~~
I walk up my driveway, still soaking wet. My dad still
isn't home.
The air-conditioning hits me and I'm freezing. I
hurry off to my bathroom. Turning the shower onto
full-blast. I let the warm water let the warm water run
down my back as I rinse the salt water out of my hair. My
thoughts were all jumbled up.
'Could I be falling for Mathis?'
Cody and I weren't boyfriend-girlfriend yet, but I did like
him. I turned the water off and walked back into my room
with a towel wrapped around my body. I threw on some
sweats and an old t-shirt. I skipped down the hallway
into the living room and plopped down onto the couch, kicking
my feet up on the coffee table.
~~~~~
My dad walks through the door about 2 hours later.
"Hey, where you been?" I ask him, looking up from the T.V.
"Shut up, brat." He snaps.
I'm startled by his tone. And as he walks by, into
the kitchen, I can smell the alcohol trail behind him. I
shut the T.V. off and jump over the back of the couch. I
run to my room. Just praying that my dad wouldn't be
abusive. Unfortnunley, I was unlucky. About 10
minutes later, there was banging on my door. I trembled
as I unlocked it.

"So, where are we going" I asked looking over at
Mathis.
"The beach." He replied not taking his eyes off the
road.
"Okay, 1) There's the beach in my backyard and 2) I
didn't bring a swimsuit.
"Fine. Not the beach, the pier."
"Good. Because you are NOT getting me wet." I told
him sternly.
"If you say so." Mathis smiled
~~~~~
It was a Saturday afternoon and the pier was crowded. If you
weren't stand right next your company, you'd surely be
separated. Mathis grabbed my hand and pulled me through the
throng of people. Towards a small little ice cream shop. I
hated to admit it, but I was starting to eat less and less. The
rush cold air met me as Mathis pushed the door open. I
didn't think I'd be able to eat.
My disorder wasn't the cause of it. It just made me think I
was inferior. Below everyone. I thought I was imperfect because
I had a disorder. But I'm sure every teen girl goes through
this stage in their life. But I've been battling myself
since my parents divorce. The last time I cut was maybe a month
ago. The scars already starting to fade.
I stopped myself. I wasn't going to think about this now.
Not the fact that I've cut. Taken dieting pills. And have
wanted to kill myself so many times. My disorder, the constant
name calling. But, a new home calls for a new start. Mathis
lead me towards the stools infront of the counter.
"Hey Mathis. Hey, Miranda." I looked up from playing
with my fingers to see my red-headed friend, Ashlyn.
"Hey Ash." I say smiling.
"What would you guys like?" Ashlyn asked, pulling a
pen out of her pocket.
"I'll have a chocolate." I said looking back down
at my fingers.
"And I'll have a rocky road." Mathis said.
"Come 'n right up." Ashlyn said before walking
away.
"So, what do you plan on doing the rest of the
summer?" Mathis asked turning to face me.
I thought about it for a minute. "Honestly, I have
absolutely no idea." I said looking up into his brown
eyes. Though, Cody did come to mind. It looked as if Mathis
wanted to say something, but he didn't.
"Here you guys go." Ashlyn set down two small plastic
bowls with spoons.
I grabbed my chocolate. "Thanks Ash." I said before
heading out the door, followed by Mathis.
~~~~~
Mathis and I walked side by side along the beach. It was about
2 in the afternoon and the sun was still high in the sky.
"Jeez, it's hot." I said sitting down and taking
off my jacket.
"Yeah." Mathis agreed, sitting down beside me. And I
can see a smile creep onto his face. I'm about to ask why
he's smiling like an idiot when I understand.
"Don't you dare!" I yell at him
