A/N: ....LETS TALK ABOUT THAT *good mythical morning intro plays*

WARNING: this may be triggering for some people as there will be moments that will include domestic abuse and violence so if you'd like to skip through and read towards the end, you're more than welcome

Marcus was kissing down your neck tauntingly as you were trying to find any way out of this. You attempted to knee him in the lower region, but all you earned out of that was a welt on your cheek. You wanted to fight against his painful grasp, you wanted to cry for help, anything, but there was no use. Marcus had finally won.

As his hands continued to roam your body, you knew things weren't going to ease up from there. You felt useless, it was as if your screams were trapped in your throat and no matter how hard you'd try, they'd be silent.

"You don't know how long I've wanted you, Y/N. You're perfect, and you're all mine." Marcus groped you roughly as your whimpers turned into violent sobs. You just wanted it all to end.

You hated every second of this, you couldn't even move at this point because you felt paralyzed. Why hasn't anyone noticed that I'm alone with this monster, did they really think he changed?

It was hard to think up a plan in only 30 seconds, but once you did you took advantage of it right away. While Marcus was turned around for a few seconds, your shaky hands managed to pull your phone out and press Dan's contact so he'd overhear the conversation and save you from your misery.

You frantically shoved your phone back in your pocket, making sure the phone was turned towards the speakers so Dan could hear audibly.

As soon as you heard the ringing end and a faint voice on the other line, you knew this was going to end quickly.

It was perfect timing too, as soon as Dan picked up, Marcus started talking rather vulgarly again. He even pulled the gag out of your mouth.

"W-Why are you doing this to me?" You screeched, trying desperately to stretch out every word so Dan could comprehend, even though your voice was shot.

"Because I love you and you love me, we're supposed to be together don't you see that you dumb bitch!" His menacing laughter was booming, open handedly slapping you with as much force as he could, nearly leaving you unconscious.

"You're mine forever now, there's no way you're ever going to leave my sight again." He licked his lips as he pulled you by your belt loops, forcing his lips onto yours.

It felt wrong, everything about the situation made you feel so defenseless.

At this point, tears were flooding down your face uncontrollably, praying Dan or anyone would be here soon.

"Now, why don't we have a little fun." You felt your heart pounding in your chest as he inched towards you with a crazed grin, feeling yourself grow weak. Dan wasn't going to come.

"Please don't do this, I'm begging you." Your voice was raw, only encouraging him. In one swift movement, you were propped against the bed as he gingerly hovered over you, his hand firmly over your mouth to stifle your now reoccurring sobs.

"Seeing you so vulnerable is too much fun for me darling, how could I ever pass up an opportunity like this?" He whispered humorously, nibbling at your earlobe and fiddling with the button of your jeans.

"GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER!" Dan hustled through the door with balled fists, towering over Marcus and instantly making contact with his cheek. Marcus staggered backwards, trying to regain his vision, but only crumbled to the ground once Dan began to punch him repeatedly.

The rest of the scene was gruesome, you watched Marcus splutter out blood, shutting his eyes in anguish. You almost thought Dan was going to kill him, until he got off of him and turned to you with the most terrifying look you've ever seen, he almost looked psychotic. That was so unlike Dan.

His whole body was trembling as he reached you, scooping you up in his arms and leading you to his room, whimpers escaping his lips.

You couldn't even bring yourself to talking, you were so physically and mentally exhausted the first thing you could do was drift off, Dan's bloody knuckles being the last thing you saw.

Hopefully you'd wake up and this would all be a dream.

You jolted awake, your chest rising and falling. You had a dream similar to what actually happened, but in this scenario Dan was too late. You couldn't be anymore grateful that he wasn't. Dan stirred as his eyes flickered open, automatically sitting upwards. He pulled you into his chest, instinctively pressing a kiss to your forehead and playing with your hair.

"I feel so disgusting." Your body was shaking, muffling sobs into his shirt.

"You didn't bring this on yourself. He's just a sick bastard who is, by the way, going to jail. You'll never see his face again." Dan reassured you as he held you tightly, like he was never going to have the chance to again.

"I just can't believe I let him control me like that." You heaved, growing tired of constantly crying but knew it wouldn't stop until you got over the traumatic experience.

"Shhh, love stop crying. You're safe now, I'm not going to let anyone lay a finger on you ever again." He spoke in a hushed tone, rocking you back and forth.

For the first time in a very long time, you felt protected.

You pulled away and sniffled into your sleeves, finally starting to breathe steadily again. You couldn't stand to look at him, you were too ashamed of yourself.

Dan tilted your chin up, taking in your features.

"What did he do to you?" He breathed out, his fingers grazing against the cuts and deep bruises Marcus left.

You gulped, watching his attentive eyes study each wound before leaning in to kiss each individual one.

"I was getting really paranoid that he was going to pull something, I feel like I'm the cause of all of this. I could've prevented it from happening." Dan held his head in his hands, growing frustrated.

"Dan shut up, you saved my life. You did everything you could." You argued, prying his hands away from his face.

"I missed you." He blurted, reaching over to brush your hair behind your ear.

"I missed you too." You yawned, laying back on the bed and turning away from him so he wouldn't notice your rosy cheeks.

"Promise not to leave each other again?" Dan mumbled into your shoulder as he pulled you into him, feeling the smile growing on his face as he did so.

"That's more than a promise, Daniel."

A/N; omg a happy ending but theres still so much more to come that was really really difficult for me to write because just thinking that people actually put innocent people through this really sickens me so i apologize if it was triggering
