~~~Violet's POV~~~

I have not spoken to anyone since I woke up in the hospital. The only time I spoke was when Ashton woke me up from my nightmare but after that I just can't bring myself to speak to anyone.

I have been out the hospital for two weeks now and all I have been doing is laying down in my bed because I'm not allowed to do anything else. What surprised me was that when the nightmares came each night, the only person who could wake me up was Ashton.

My dad and brother and everyone else that is going through the house just get punched but somehow when his hands land on me, I feel calm and I slowly begin to relax. Because of this Ashton has kind of moved into my room since he sleeps here anyway.

I am sick of being this weak but I am right back where I started when he last started this. I know that he is jail and I plan on pressing charges against him since this time there is evidence and witnesses.

I don't think I could live through another time.

I haven't been in school and surprisingly my dad has taken time off work and spends the whole day with me. Josh has gone back to uni but he calls me everyday and he hopes that I will talk to him but I can't bring myself to speak to anyone. He would talk for hours and I would cry each time, wanting to speak to my brother but my brain won't let me. It's like my lips are glued together and I don't know how to open them.

"How are you doing today, sweetheart?" My dad comes into the room carrying a tray with food that I no longer eat.

Since Ian starved me, even if it was only for 3 days that means that my body cannot handle a lot of food but after the first week I was able to eat anything but I no longer have the appetite. The only thing I mange to do was nod at my dad and he gives me a small smile. This must remind him of taking care of my mum when she was sick.

"Ashton is on his way over here." he says with a bitter tone in his voice. Ashton and my dad don't seen to get along. I don't know what happened since I don't talk to either of them and they are all fake smiles in front of me.

I don't even smile anymore. I feel emotions but I am unable to show them. The closest anyone has come is Ian and that is just sick. When I think of him I want to cry and have most of the nights but that is the only emotion I have let through.

For the next hour my dad went though photo albums and nearly making me cry again but instead I just layer down on my bed and turned my back to him and once more let the pillow take away my tears. I know that my dad wants to hug me and tell me it's OK but he is scared that I'll push him away.

I want to be normal so badly, why did this have to happen to me? I know that probably every victim thinks this way but what else can you feel when every little thing about you was violated and abused.

No father wants to see his little girl like this.

"Rest my angel and just text me if you need me." my dad says before he exits the room and I turn on my back to see Ashton throw his bag across the room and jump on the bed next to me.

Today I have this strange urge to be close to him and not have to push him away all the time. It can't be easy having to with such a burden like me. A couple of days ago was the first time I let him hold me during the day and since then he has been touching me any chance he gets.

"Are you feeling better today, my love?"he says as he draws me into his arms. I nod against his chest and he gives me a dazzling smile every time that I do anything to him, even something as simple as nod or look into his eyes.

"I see that you missed me today." he smirks and then places a kiss on my forehead. I nod again and try to smile at him and his eyes lights up and he pulls me even tighter to him.

"I have an idea." he says and then gets up and races down the stairs and I hear the door open and shut once more. I settle back into the bad once more and let the loneliness settle back into my bones now that Ashton is gone.

Not even a minute later he is rushing into the room with his guitar and a real smile appears on my face. He has been singing to me every night but he always forgets his guitar so that he has it now makes me happy. I love listening and watching him play, his voice is so magical and soothing. You know what they say, music speaks better than words.

"Let's see if you remember this song." he smiles at me and then starts to strum the familiar chords.

Here she is with her beautiful bright smile and her beautiful brown eyes.

They shine like diamonds because she is the most precious thing to me.

Just seeing her can turn my day.

One touch and all is right again.

Kiss me, I need to feel your lips.

Hug me, I want to feel safe.

Hold me, I want to be with you.

Don't leave me now that I've found you, I need you now.

I want to take your hurt and add it to mine.

So you never cry again.

I always want to see you smile.

Violet, you've turned my world upside down and I don't want it to be right up again.

Every day and night I think of you.

I wrote this song for you and no one else.

I'm not good with romance so I hope this reaches your heart.

I want you to be mine and only mine, I want you and I've got to have you.

Please say yes because I'll never stop.

Let me see your bright smile again.

I need to her your voice, it's sweeter than honey.

I've been starved all my life.

Let me hold you, let me kiss you and let me love you.

I swear it will last, let me be your forever.

There is no else for me, you're my happy ever after.

During the song my eyes started watering and by the end of it I had big,fat, lone tears rolling down my face but the smile on my face was even bigger than before.

He finishes singing and sets his guitar down and just looks at me from the other side of the bed. I am sick of being this weak and fragile, I hate being vulnerable but Ashton doesn't make it seem like a bad thing.

I stand up from the bed and walk around to his side, all the while looking into his eyes and seeing the hope in them. He has done so much for me, I feel really grateful that this amazing person has fallen in love with me when anyone would gladly take my place.

When I reach him and stand in front of him and quickly, so I don't lose the sudden courage, I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him to me and his arms are immediately around my waist.

"I missed you,my love." he whispers in my ear and pulls me down onto his lap so I'm not bending over in an awkward position.

"I love you Ashton."I say quietly and my voice is a little rough since I haven't used it in a while but the shock on his face is priceless and he springs off the bed and runs around the room and then comes back to stand in front of me.

"Really?" He asks me, picks me up and spins me around while I laugh like an idiot.

"I love you so much, you have no idea." he says and then looks into my eyes as if asking a question and when he casts a glance to my lips, I know the kind of question he is asking. I nod my head and he does a little jump and then flushes pink when I laugh at him.

"Kiss me already." I say in a steadier voice than before and he gives me his special smirk before pulling me towards him so our bodies are flush against each other.

"Yes, ma'am." He says before picking me up and holding me lip lever with him. Then he gently pecks my lips and when I trace my tongue on his bottom lip he grows impatient and smashes his lips to mine. We would have gotten into the kiss but then my dad decided to knock loudly on the door.

"If you want to keep those lips sonny then I suggest that you let go of my little girl." my dad shouts loudly at Ashton but stops when he sees my face change from happy to angry.

"I'll leave you alone but don't forget I can kick you out of the house." He directs the last part to Ashton and then closes the door. We silently look at each other and after a second we burst out laughing. We fall into the bed while laughing and that is the first night that the nightmares didn't haunt me.
