Until I noticed their heavy breathing when getting back their grades, so one time me and the victim were hanging out at the victim’s place, because for some reason, they didn’t want to be alone that day. The abuser came home and asked for the Victim’s grades, the the victim, shaking like it was freezing, handed them their grades, as I watched the abuser’s face turn into disgust, and as they raise their hand, I watched as the victim got backhanded in the jaw. As I watched this, I was told to go home for the day. I didn’t know what to do. So much worry and anxiety was going through my head. So. I called the police a few days later.
