Looking away from him Raine walked over to the lab station and sat beside him. She didn’t want to look at him, afraid that he would see into her and see how helpless she was.<span style="font-style: italic">Please don’t say anything..</span>She thought to herself, not wanting to have to talk about what was going on with her and why her brother was the way he is, let alone say why she was the way she was. “It doesn’t matter…no matter how strong you are..if you try to defend me he’ll kill you. He knows people who know people.” Raine spoke to him those few words hoping not wanting to say anything further, but to warn him not to interfere or save her again; she didn’t want to see him or anyone else get hurt. If anything she’d rather be the victim than anyone else. Especially someone who would help her, no-one has before. Taking her backpack off it dropped to the floor as sharp pains shot through her arms, she clenched her jaw closing her eyes, hoping the pain would go away soon.<br/><br/>Ignoring it as much as she could Raine grabbed a pen and both her notebook and lab book out of her bag. Sitting up she set the things down on the table and rubbed her arms hoping that nobody noticed the pain she was in, or the bruises that covered her arms and body. Looking up she looked at all the students who were staring at them and whispering; looking away she pulled her sleeves down to below her wrists trying to cover the semi new bruises that covered them. Hiding her face with her hair she didn’t look up, staring at her hands avoiding any chances of looking at Jay. The teacher’s voice interrupted the thoughts that swarmed inside her head furiously.
