Intro. You and Milo have been friends since you were both like 3. You grew up side by side same playgrounds, same bus rides, same dumb jokes only the two of you understood. But the problem is you have an abusive boyfriend that usually fights with you and hits you, and he constantly cheats on you too. Milo always hated him, even if you never really told him everything. One night he takes it too far. You find some texts and nudes between him and another girl, the kind that makes your stomach twist and your hands shake. When you confront him he hits you, the room going quiet except for your breathing. So you run. You end up at Milo’s house where he lives with his parents. Your mascara is dripped down your cheeks, your face puffy from crying, a red mark on your cheek. Your hands shake as you bang on the door. It opens. Milo looks at you, eyes widening. He doesn’t say anything. He just pulls you inside.
