Luke's POV
Once I carried her up to her room and tucked her under the blankets I walked back downstairs to find Calum in the kitchen.

"How is she?" he asks. I just kinda shake my head and sit down at the table.

"How the fuck could I have been so stupid as to leave her alone?" I run my hand through my hair and slam my fist on the table.

"Luke, you don't babysit for a living. You kill people. Your not used to taking care of someone." I just sigh and tap my fingers on the table.

"What should I do? She's terrified. of me, you, being alone."

"Luke, I'm gonna go. You obviously need to be alone to work things out. Text or call if ya' need to talk." he says standing up and patting my back then leaving.

I close my eyes for a few minutes then go upstairs. I open the door slowly and she looks so peaceful. Besides the bruises on her face. I walk in the room and sit down in the chair next to her bed.

"Lia, I'm so sorry. I let him hurt you and I'm just so sorry." My voice starts shaking and I run my hand through my hair.

"Luke, it's okay. I promise." She doesn't even open her eyes. She just lies there not moving.

"No it's not. It's all my fucking fault. What the fuck was I thinking?" I slam my hand down on the chair and it causes her to jump.

Lia's POV
Once we heard knocking on the door he panicked. He escaped through the backdoor. I just didn't move. I just kept my head covered.

Seconds later the door flew open and I heard footsteps approach me. He's back, oh my god, he's back. I started sobbing again waiting for the impact of a kick or punch or slap.

I feel a hand brush against my cheek and I flinch away. "Hey, hey it's okay!" I look up to see Calum. I just start sobbing harder. He just tells me to keep breathing and he then calls Luke.

Once he gets off the phone he carries me to the couch and rest me down. He just rubs my back and just hums a song to me.

Luke's POV
I leave the room once I know for sure she's a sleep. I leave her door open though. I want it open so if she has a nightmare I can hear.

Lia's POV
He leaves the room after we stay silent for a good 10 minutes. he doesn't shut the door and I open my eyes. I just stare at the empty chair on the side of my room.

I shift a little and it hurts so bad. My body is sore and I can't find a comfortable way to lie.

I force myself up out of bed and I walk over to the bathroom. I wash my face in the sink and take my shirt off to see how bad the bruises are. Bad.

There is one covering most of my stomach and one on my shoulder and two on my face. "Shit." I say under my breath. I slowly run my fingers over them and wince imedetly at the pain. "Fuck him. Fuck fuck fuck fuck." I keep repeating under my breath. I slam my hand down on the sink top.

"Your up." I look and see Luke in the doorway leaning against the door frame.

"I was never a sleep."

"You should rest. Your pretty beat up." I just roll my eyes and run my hands through my hair.

"I know Luke." He bites his lip ring and shrugs. "You think I'm okay with this?" I say pointing to my still bare chest. My breasts are at least being covered up by a sports bra.

He just stares at me with a blank expression. He's unable to say anything.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get mad." I say looking down at the sink as I run my hands through my hair.

I hear a little movement from Luke then before I can look up his arms are wrapped around me. I just lean into him.

"Don't think I will ever stop fighting for you. You got that, baby girl?" I smile into his chest and nod. "Good. Go lie down." I pull back from his arms and grab my shirt.

Once I get back into my room I climb under the covers and close my eyes.

I hear the familiar click of my door as I drift off.
