Beca woke up to the sound of a yell. "Beca! Get down here! Right now!" She heard her dad, she looked around and noticed she wasn't at the Bella house. Beca's eyes widened.

"Beca!" The yell was louder. She ran downstairs. "Yes, dad?" Warren looked at his daughter.

"What the hell is this?" He asked as he held a paper. "Writing?" She said. Next thing she knew was she was slapped in the face.

"Don't be a smart-ass, because you seem like a dumb-ass. What kind of grade is this?" He said. His voice became more angry. "Dad, please." Beca begged.

"I made you come to college for a reason! All you are doing is wasting it on a stupid Acapella group!" Beca's face cringed at the loudness above her.

"You told me to put myself out there! That's what I'm doing." Beca snapped back. That only earned her a a kick to the stomach and she fell to the ground and landed on her arm. The brunette backed up.

"Stop, I'll try harder. I will study as much as I can. I will stay up all night if I have to. Please stop." Beca begged more.

"You better get these grades up. I better not see anything under a C. Now, get out of here. Remember the rule." He scowled.

Beca ran upstairs and took the clothes she had taken to her dad's house. She hated going to that house. But, if she didn't check in at least three times a week, her dad would hurt her more than he just did.

She stuffed all her clothes and her laptop into her bag. After she was done. She ran downstairs and out the door, but made sure she told her dad she was leaving. "By dad! Love you!" She yelled.

The brunette just kept running. She didn't bother to stop. She ran and ran until she fell into the house.

"Whoah. You okay Becs?" Chloe asked. When Beca heard multiple footsteps, not just Chloe's She started to stand up.

"I'll be upstairs. Let me know when you decide to make food or go out. Please leave me alone though. Don't come into the room no matter what. I'll be down in maybe an hour, Maybe two." She said running up the stairs.

"We were about to order some pizza. I'll call you down when it gets here." Stacie said. "Okay." Beca yelled before slamming the door to her's and Fat Amy's room.

"What was that?" Fat Amy asked.

"I don't know. It was very weird though. She was freaked out about something." C.R said. Everyone went back to the kitchen.

"She didn't even look at us. It's like she was afraid of us. Did anybody notice anything strange thing going on with her, before now?" Chloe asked. Nobody said anything.

"Well, guess that's a big fat no. Should one of us go upstairs and check on her?" Jessica asked even though Beca specifically said not to. Everyone looked to Chloe.

She looked back at all of them and sighed. "No. She obviously wanted to be alone right now. We should respect that. She's probably working on a new mix anyway. She doesn't really like it when we interrupt her work." Chloe explained.

"She lets you interrupt." Flo said. Chloe rolled her eyes.

"Well that's because she knows I lack of space. But she seemed really upset, so I'm going to give her some space." The redhead explained.

Everyone stared at her in shock. This made Chloe really confused. "What?" She asked all of her friends standing in front of her.

"Who are you and what have you done with Chloe?" Fat Amy asked.

"Seriously, did you see how she reacted. She looked scared, sad, angry, I saw a little relief too. I think, she needs some time to pull whatever it is, together." Chloe said.

Beca rushed into her room and saw a bruise on her left cheek. Then she took off her shirt and threw it across the room. She saw a bruise on her arm and another one at her side.

She went to her bed and couldn't hold back the tears that she had held back since she left her dad's house.

Beca's dad never hit her if Sheila was home. She called the lady Stepmonster, but she doesn't really know much about her because her dad only makes Beca come over when she is gone. Beca thinks that Sheila doesn't know what Warren really does when she's not home. It's either that or she doesn't want to see him abuse the brunette.

Beca took some makeup and tried to cover the bruise on her face as best as possible. The she put on three of her bracelets that would be able to cover up the bruise that went from her wrist to a little less than half way.

Then she changed into a different shirt. She put on a black tank top and put a jean jacket over it. After a few minutes of putting a little more makeup over the bruise on her face, she heard a knock on the door.

"Beca, the pizza is here. You coming down?" Beca heard Emily speak from outside of her room.

"Uh, yeah, I'll be down in a minute." She replied. "Okay." Emily said. Beca listened to the steps that began to disappear. She checked once more to make sure her bruises were covered up.

Beca turned and started walking downstairs. She stopped right before she turned the corner.

She stopped to try to keep herself from showing her pain. Beca finally entered the room.

"Beca. Your food is right there." Flo pointed at the end of the table. "Thanks. What did you all do last night?" Beca asked as she walked to the end of the table.

"Not much we ate some dinner, watched a movie, then we played some truth or dare. Stacie's idea of course." C.R. explained.

"What movie? What's it about?" Chloe started talking, but Beca started to space out.

"This movie is stupid." Beca said. "Shut up." Warren said. Beca looked at her dad.

"What is it even about?" "What did I just say, Beca?" Beca turned her attention back to the movie. "I am going to get some more popcorn." "Sit Down!" He yelled.

"I'm just getting some popcorn." Beca said. Warren stood up and grabbed his beer bottle and threw it at Beca.

Beca cried in pain. "You get back over here, and watched the damn movie and be quiet!" He yelled. "Okay, dad" She said as she sat back down.

"The movie was actually pretty good." Chloe finished. Beca looked up. "Sounds interesting. I might actually watch it. She forced a smile.

Beca took a bite out of her pizza, but she felt the pain from the bruise. She felt everyone staring at her.

"I'm not hungry anymore. I'll be back in a bit. I'm just going to take a walk around campus." Beca said. She looked up and saw everyone still staring at her.

Beca took a knife out of her pocket, where no one could see it. She smiled a little bit.

Beca stood up and walked to the door and walked out. She looked at her phone to see the time. 2:34. "I'll be back around five." She said as she walked out.

"We should do something. What does she like to do, besides making her own mixes?" Chloe asked. "Well, we know she doesn't like movies, so that's out." Stacie said.

No one could think of anything. They've been thinking of ideas for ten minutes, but still had nothing. "Okay, I give up." Flo said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Until Chloe's eyes widened.

"What?" Fat Amy chuckled. "A bar." Chloe simply said. "What about Emily?" Lilly said.

Everyone was starting to catch on with what Lilly would say. They could hear the words a little better since she spoke. Not a whisper but actual normal speaking.

It was Emily's turn to smile. "You all probably wouldn't expect this, because I am too much of a good person. But, I have some things." She said as she brought out a fake ID.

"Nice. I didn't think you actually had this in you, Legacy." Fat Amy said taking the ID to check it out.

Beca sat by a tree in the quad. She relaxed, as she felt all the pain go through her body. "I hate this." She muttered to herself. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

"Behind my class. Behind the building. Get here. Now!" -Warren

"Okay." -Beca

Beca got to her feet as she let out a moan. She stood in place for a moment then started walking to the building.

It took her three minutes to get behind the building.

"I'm here." She said. Beca instantly was pushed down to the ground. "What the hell?" She cried out. Warren fell onto his knees on top of the brunette.

"You call that studying?" He punched her in the ribs multiple. After about five punches to her ribs, Beca started coughing.

"I was sitting for a few minutes." Beca cried. "Without study materials." He said as he stood up and stepped on her chest and put pressure. Beca tried to scream, but nothing came out.

Beca put her hand to her pocket and pulled the knife out and tried to stab her dad but, her dad grabbed the knife and cut her leg and brought it up to her arm. Beca whimpered in pain.

"Get up." He said violently. Beca had tears running down her face. But she stood up because she knew what would happen if she didn't.

"Now, you are going to the nurse's office and get that stitched up. You tell her that you fell and cut yourself pretty bad. You got that?" Warren said. Beca nodded her head. "Go." Beca turned around and started walking.

"Hi. I cut myself pretty bad." Beca said when she limped toward the desk. "Okay, come around." The nurse said.

The nurse checked the cut very carefully. "From what I can see is that you do need stitches, and you will need to have a cast. Your arm however will be fine. We will just put some antibiotics over it and put some gauze on it, that way we don't have to keep putting band aids on it every hour.

Beca sighed in pain. "Terrific." She sighed sarcastically.

After twenty minutes of getting the stitches done and covering the arm up with gauze then a small cast around Beca's leg, they found some crutches for Beca to use.

"Okay all done. I will get someone to take you back to your house. You are very talented by the way. I saw a few performances. Nice job." The nurse smiled. Beca laughed lightly.

"Thank you. For this and the compliments. Is it okay if I walk back to the Bella house? Because if I'm going to use these, I am going to need to get used to using them." Beca asked. The nurse nodded. "Sure, just be careful."

The nurse opened the door for Beca. "Thank you. What can I call you?" Beca asked. "Natalie. And you are welcome." Beca walked out.

Beca finally got to the front yard of the Bella house. She walked on the door and knocked on it. She waited a few minutes for the door to open.

"Beca? What the hell happened to you?" Stacie asked. "Would you like, help me, by holding the door open." Beca said with a small smile.

"Yeah. Here come in. Everyone is in the living room." She said. "Thanks."

"Beca's back! Chloe don't tackle her!" Stacie called out. Beca laughed.

Beca was surprise she was laughing right now. Like, she just got abused and cut with a knife, and she is laughing.

Stacie walked next to Beca and helped her to the couch. "Thanks."

Everyone in the room except Stacie and Beca were too caught up in something to realize Beca was there. Stacie was about to say something but Beca stopped her. "Give me that." She smiled. Stacie gave Beca a hard covered book.

Stacie and Beca smiled at each other. Beca looked at everyone who wasn't paying attention to her and Stacie sitting across them. "Help me stand up." Stacie helped Beca up and kept her balanced.

Beca threw the book at the wall, which hurt her ribs from the punches, behind the girls in front of them. They all looked towards the wall then back at Beca and Stacie. The two brunettes bursted out laughing.

Stacie helped Beca back down to the couch, but both of them still laughing. "I enjoyed throwing a book at them." Beca said. "I was proud." Stacie said.

"Becs, what happened to you?" Chloe asked. Stacie and Beca calmed done.

"Let's just say I really do hate people." Beca said trying to cover what really happened. "What's wrong with your arm and leg?" Fat Amy asked.

"Well I was walking, then someone pulled me behind one of the buildings, and-" Beca paused to think of what to say.

"The guy tried to force me. I had a knife, I tried to fight him, but he took the knife and cut my arm and leg. The leg was deeper than the cut on my arm, so I ended up with crutches, and now I'm here." She explained.

She thought to herself hoping her friends would buy it. She waited for someone to say something.

"Who is this guy?" C.R asked. "I'll get a few knives." Chloe said. "I will get the shovel." Flo said. "I'll grab the rope." Emily said. "I'll get some tape." Stacie said last. The all started moving.

A few minutes later, Chloe walked in the room along with the other four. "Oh shit. They were serious." Fat Amy said in surprise.

Beca laughed. "Put those things back." She said. "The stupid dumbass is gone. Chloe, I want to ask you something. Did you know Tom was here?" Beca asked. Chloe was surprised.

Beca wasn't lying about Tom. She actually saw him walk past her when she was still sitting at the tree. "Tom?" Chloe asked. Beca nodded.

"I saw him. He walked past me before this happened." Beca said motioning her arm and leg. "I didn't know that." Chloe didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"Whatever, I could care less." Chloe said. Everyone in the room saw that she was telling the truth.

One month later:

"I am going to my dad's for two nights. I'll see you then." She told her friends before walking out the door.

Later that night:

Beca was just sitting in her room studying her Science. She was actually entertained. She hated studying, but she never had anything to do at her dad's house, aside from getting hit. Speaking of getting hit.

The door slammed open. Beca looked up and saw her dad walk to her angrily. She sat up and crawled to the back of the bed when she saw a belt in his hand.

"You told them! You told them!" He yelled. "You changed the story! But you still told them! You really should learn that being in a house doesn't make everything quiet!" He said as he whipped the belt at Beca hitting her in the leg.

Warren didn't have to be quiet. His house lived a little close by Barden, but the house was all by itself.

"I didn't even say what really happened." Beca said with fear in her voice. Warren didn't seem to care if she did or not. Beca could tell he was drinking. She could hear him slurring the words.

"Dad stop. You are more drunk than you've ever been." Beca tried to leave the room, but her dad pulled her by the hair and pushed her against the wall. Beca felt her back crack.

Beca tried to speak multiple times but every time she tried to speak, she'd get hit. First it was the belt. After a while, he thought that wasn't enough.

Beca tried dodging each hit but was never fast enough. She felt blood all over her face. Dripping down onto her clothes then to the ground. She was hit so many times she thought that she would never be able to move again.

Beca's legs were all cut up from the belt. Beca was about to fall to the ground, but she somehow managed to keep herself up.

After about five minutes, the punches stopped. Beca opened her eyes and saw her dad fall to the ground. The brunette felt herself having a hard time. She packed everything back up and walked out of the house.

She wanted to run the rest of the way to the Bella house, but she felt her energy slowly fading away, so she just walked.

Beca reached the door, her vision getting blurry. She opened the door and walked in. She didn't see anyone in the living room.

She took one more step nearly fell, she went to the first step of the stairs and sat there for a few minutes. She closed her eyes and thought about her friends, wondering what they would say or do if they found out.

Beca finally heard footsteps walking towards the room. She felt to tired to move so she moved so she could put her head on the wall.

Blood was still flowing down her face. Her nose was bleeding, the top of her head, she head cuts on her face. She knows she most likely has at least one broken rib. She tried to move in a more comfortable position, but it hurt so much she ended up letting out a moan. The person that was in the room next to her obviously.

Beca saw it was Chloe. Chloe walked into the living room to see if anyone was there, no one was. "Chlo." Beca said quietly. Chloe turned and looked at the stairs and saw Beca.

Before Chloe could say anything Beca spoke. "Can you not tell them, just get me upstairs please?" Chloe looked at her for a few seconds.

"I'm going to take a shower, girls!" She yelled but not taking her eyes off of the tiny brunette. "Let's get you cleaned up." The redhead whispered. "Be careful it really hurts." Beca said. Chloe nodded.
