"Ma'am do you need a ride", a cab driver asked as I nodded and climbed in I told him my address as he kept to himself.

I wrapped my head around the fact that people would be there when I got home. When I was at my apartment I would go home and come out 3 days later.

But now I had to escape the light.

"Ma'am you've arrived", he said as I passed him the money Massey gave me and as I was closing the door he said

"It gets better".

Would it get better, I live with a man who thinks I'm insane and has no feelings for me, and my father who beats me until I can barely breathe.

I rung the doorbell as my key was now in my father's office hopefully Massey would grab it. I knocked again as I heard a heavy groan coming down the stairs.

He swung open the door as I hid my battered wrists from his sight. I rushed in as I needed my own space. He rushed after me waiting to insult me every step of the way.

"What's with the coat it's 91°outside?", he chuckled as my pace grew faster trying to race to my room. I shut my door as he barged in and just as he opened it he grabbed my coat and tore it off, his eyes got wide. As he saw my wrists all purple and battered up. He saw my legs a dark red covered them as my cover couldn't hide them anymore and blood was all over my shoes. He saw me as pity overwhelmed his eyes and he stared at me like a stranger.

"What the fuck happened", he looked at me as he rushed over.

"GET OUT", I screamed as he tried to hug me and I shooed his hands away from my body as tears fell from my cheeks.

"GET THE FUCK OUT", I said as he wrapped his arms around me not letting go. I pushed and shoved but his strong hands held me down. I squirmed under his figure as tears escaped from my cheek. He held me down as I remembered the last time I had this hug, I was in pain and my mother hugged me until I fell asleep in her arms.

Nolan

She shivered in my arms as I held her tight making her forget whoever had hurt her before. I was an asshole, a horrible one but she was in pain physical and mental.

I saw her as she stopped pushing away and buried her face in my chest as I felt her hot breath against me, making sure she was breathing. She cried as I hugged her tighter, I was comforting her the girl I promised I would never love, the girl who irritates me in every way, needed me.

She pulled herself up to my shoulder as I heard her slightly fall asleep, her eyelashes gave her green eyes that sparkle that she needed. I wiped away her tears, her tears that made me change the way I saw her.

She was beautiful, an angelic face I was holding. She snuggled into my chest as I wished I could take back all the times I had hurt her, starting with yesterday.

I picked her frail body up and carried her to my bedroom I wasn't going to leave her vulnerable body alone. I went to find Ms.Johnson, I knew a woman like Natalie wouldn't want me to see her naked.

I saw Ms. Johnson dusting as I hurried over to her and she saw the fear in my eyes.

"Ms. Johnson something horrible happened to Natalie", I said as she whacked my head with her duster and hurried up the stairs, I followed her.

She opened the door as I saw a tear fall down her cheek and she quickly kicked me out of the room and I was lost and I had no clue what to do.

I needed to help Natalie but I had no idea how too. I hurried down to the kitchen, to make some quick pasta.

Ms. Johnson had taught me how to cook at a young age, she instructed me to be a man with the ladies, but with Natalie, I was the complete opposite of a gentleman. I was a monster, but I was aiming to fix it.

I made the best comfort food there were butter noodles.

I plated it on a bowl as Ms. Johnson came out of the door.

"What happened", she said as I could see the tears that had been there.

"She was going to work and then she came back with this large coat on and nothing in her hand, so I uh-", I brushed my hair nervously with my fingers.

"What did you do", she said yanking me by the ear, so that I was her height.

"I took the coat off", I said as I felt an immediate whack to my head with a newspaper as she yanked me harder by my ear.

"you young man you will take care of her, you will give her a foot rub if she wants, I will know, I always know especially your whores you think you can sneak in the house I always know son. You will give her everything she wants and I will return in a week to see progress", she said as she threw a rag and told me to give her the food.

I opened the room door and saw her in bed lying there like she couldn't move, like she was frozen. I sat on the chair next to her as she slept peacefully. I would give her anything she ever wanted and I will make sure this bastard pays, whoever did this.

"Where am I", she groaned as she tried to get up as I gently pushed her down.

"Easy", I said as she looked so confused.

"Let me go", she demanded as I backed away and she groaned in pain.

"You can leave now, thank you but I've been doing this for years", she let slip out as I felt a tear go down my cheek. She sounded used to it. And that's the moment I knew I would never let anyone hurt her again.
