She runs upstairs, throws shoes and a hat on while crying.
Drake Adams

Claire Adams
Don't you'll make it worse if he finds out
Mr. Adams
So we're hiding things now
Claire Adams
N No! He was coming to hug me and I told him to not hug me because I didn't want to make you mad
Mr. Adams
Y'all both disgust me..
He walks up to Claire and grabs her face roughly with his big hand
Mr. Adams
You're a pathetic piece of sh*t
He throws her back with force and she falls into the corner of the desk in her room cutting her side
She runs out the room and out of the house and walks to the store

Alec Brooks
Why?
Luca Brooks
I want gum and bourbon
Melissa Brooks
I'm coming in to
Mikey Brooks

Alec Brooks
Well I guess I'll be getting some too
They pull up and walk in
They walk and grab the gum
They are now by the liquor
Claire comes walking in keeping her head down. She's shaking and still crying
Claire Adams
Excuse me..
She says so quietly that a normal human probably wouldn't have heard her, but being a vampire, they can hear extremely well.
They turn around and move to the side
Claire Adams
I'm s sorry I just need to g grab this..
The four of them exchange looks. Then they smell something.. The blood from the cut on her back
Luca Brooks
Umm are you okay?
She doesn't say anything, she's just picking up as many big cans as she can
Luca Brooks
Miss?
Claire jumps as he lightly taps her shoulder causing her to drop the cans, but Luca catches them
She looks up a little, enough for him to see her bruises on her face
Alec Brooks
Hey are you okay?
She shoots up and backs away falling into a rack with chips and hits her cut causing her to scream in pain
Alec Brooks
I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you
She touched her back and when she sees her hand, it's full of blood.
She starts to panic
Melissa Brooks
Woah, wait.. Why are you bleeding?
Claire Adams
I'm fine, just please stop
Mikey Brooks
The amount of blood on your hand is extensive Bella?
(Bella means beautiful)
Claire Adams
Please just stop!
Alec gets her to look in his eyes and tries to compel it out of her but she isn't effected by the compulsion
Claire pulls free and goes to check out
Luca Brooks
What the f*ck was that?
Alec Brooks
No idea, but I can't compel her.. Luca, can you read her mind?
He tries
Luca Brooks
Nothing
Mikey Brooks
Wait listen..
They listen in on the conversation
Bill (Store Clirk)
Claire..
Claire Adams
Bill.. Don't..
Bill (Store Clirk)
You need to let me call the police.. He can't keep putting his hands of y'all like that
Claire Adams
It will make things worse Bill
They stop listening
Alec Brooks
We need to figure out what's going on
Claire leaves and goes back home to her father
Mr. Adams
Get upstairs and get out of my face
She obeys and runs upstairs
Mia-Rose Adams
Claire... I was worried about you..
Claire Adams
Don't be sweetie.. I'm okay..
She pulls her into a hug while giving Drake a look saying she's in pain
Mia-Rose Adams
You sure you're okay?
Claire Adams
Yes, now go get your stuff ready for school tomorrow, take a shower, and then you can come back in here if you want.
Mia-Rose Adams
Okay
She walks out
Drake Adams
Come on let me see
Claire turns around and shows him her back
(Picture this on her back)
Drake Adams
That mother f*cker..
Drake is pissed
Drake Adams
Come on, let clean it.
They go in the bathroom bringing a chair in there with them. She sits with her chest on the back of the chair
Drake Adams
You're going to have to go to the school nurse tomorrow Claire.. For right now though, I'm going to clean it and bandage it up okay?
She shakes her head.
He starts tending to and she's crying because of how painful it is.
After a few minutes, he finishes up with her.
Drake Adams
Just take a bath for tonight and don't get that wet okay?
Claire Adams
Thanks Drake..
She takes her bath and Drake goes to his room to take a shower
She finishes, dries off, puts some clothes on, and lays in her bed on the opposite side of the cut
A few minutes later, Blake and Mia come in her room and sit with her and watch TV
2 hours later, their dad is passed out drunk.
There's a knock on the door
Mrs. Adams
Hey guys, here's dinner.
She gives them turkey sandwiches, chips, a bottle of water, and a gatorade.
Claire Adams
Thanks mama
Mia-Rose Adams
Thank you mama
Drake Adams
Thanks mom
Mrs. Adams
I'm sorry I failed you three as a mother..
Drake Adams
That's not true mom
Mrs. Adams
It is though.. He's a monster and he's my husband and your father..
Claire Adams
He never use to be like this
Mrs. Adams
I love you three okay.. Get some rest..
She kisses their heads and goes to take a shower and goes to sleep
They eat their food, drink their drink, and go to sleep.
Next Morning
Claire Adams
Hey, wake up..
Mia-Rose Adams
What time is it?
Claire Adams
6:00
Drake Adams
Okay let's get dressed
Mia-Rose Adams
Why so early?
Drake Adams
We need to get out before dad wakes up
They hurry and get up and get dressed. Claire puts as much makeup on to cover her face has possible
Claire
Mia
Drake
Their mom hears them and peaks her head out the room
Mrs. Adams
Here is some money for the week okay?
Claire Adams
Thanks mama
They take the cash and walk out the door and grab breakfast and drink
They get to school early and head to the nurses office right away
They knock on the door, and Nurse Angela opens the door
Nurse Angela
Hey, come in..
They go inside the office and close the door
Nurse Angela
Let me see sweetie..
Claire pulls up her shirt and shows her
Nurse Angela
My gosh you guys.. I think you need to get the police involved.. He's going to end up killing one of you..
Claire Adams
Not yet.. Please don't say anything yet..
Nurse Angela
I won't.. Let me go grab my stuff..
Nurse Angela knows their situation so she has a secret stash of medical supplies for them.
She stitches Claire up and gives her some medicine for the pain, but nothing that will make her drowsy
Claire Adams
We really don't know how we would ever repay you for all you have done for us..
Drake Adams
I mean, it's the first day back and you already have to do something this extreme..
Nurse Angela
Just promise me something.. This is all I ask..
They nod
Nurse Angela

Drake Adams
We will, we promise..
They walk out right when students start getting to school
