Nevaeh's POV

"UNCLE IM SORRY! PLAESE STOP IT!" I shout and cry at my uncle. "NO! YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND BE A LITTLE WHORE, WELL I'LL TREAT YOU LIKE ONE! A WORTHLESS, FILTHY WHORE!" He shouts, while continuously whipping me with his belt. He's duck taped my hands around one of the dining tables legs so I wouldn't be able to run away.

" I DIDNT DO ANYTHING. PLEASE. I SWEAR, I SWEAR. Just let me go" I whisper the last part in defeat. He grabbed me by the hair and pulled my head back. "If I ever see you with a man or smell one on you again, I'll kill him and you." He let go of my hair, roughly pushing my head forward.

After he left, I sat there, in the same position crying. Sometimes I do want to just end it all. No more pain. No more thinking, why Am I not good enough? but I knew that would mean he won.

Pain is temporary. And quitting is forever.

Such a good day turned into a bad one. My back hurt like hell after the amount of lashes I got off of him. I tried to get up, but screamed in pain from my back. I can barely move. I have to get up before he comes back. I fight through the pain and sit up properly. I lift the table upwards, in hopes of being able to slide my arms down to free myself. It's hard to do but I get there eventually.

I stand up, gripping onto the table for support. I grab my car keys and walk out of the door. I get in my car and speed off. Words can't even describe how I feel right now, but I know one thing. I'm angry. And I get angrier just thinking about how this all started.

I got home after having an amazing day with chase. We went to target to buy sweets and had an x-men marathon all day. As I walked in I saw my uncle looking at me from the couch. He was waiting for me. "And where exactly have you been? Your school bags here, so you obviously weren't at school." He stated walking over to me. "Oh? And what's that? Men's cologne!? You've been sleeping around with a man haven't you!? You little FUCKING SLUT! HOW DARE YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE AFTER WHORING AROUND, YOU LITTLE BITCH!" He shouted, taking his belt off.

You know what happens next.

As I was speeding down the street, I saw something that made my heart nearly stop. It was chase surrounded by a bunch of men, holding him at gun point.

I sped around the corner, and stopped the car with a screech. I hopped out and looked around the corner making sure they couldn't see me. Okay I have a plan. Not a very good one, but a plan none the less. Okay, go time.

"Hey guys! How's it going? You know, I've always wondered this. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Chases POV

I looked over at Nevaeh with a look of disbelief. what the fuck is she doing here. She's going to get herself killed.

"Hey guys! How's it going? You know, I've always wondered this. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" She said.

What in the holy mother of fuck is she doing.

"Anyone know the answer?"

All of Leo's men look at each other as if they were saying, 'what the fuck is this bitch on?'

"No? Okay."

Next of all she's knocked one out and currently has one by the neck. Another one comes up behind her but before he can do anything she back kicked him and he was out like a light.

She looked over at me and said "you gonna help or just stand there looking pretty?" She says punching the guy she has by the neck.

I snap out of it and knock the last two men's heads together effectively knocking them out. When I look back over at Nevaeh, she's knocked all three of her guys out, but she doesn't look so good. "Princess?" I ask. I see her swaying side to side, looking quite pale. "NEVAEH!" I shout as I catch her, right before she hits the ground. She's out cold.

I check her pockets to look for car keys. I find them in her back pocket. Bingo! I walk the way she came from hoping that it's in the direction of her car. And my guess was right. I place her carefully in the back seat and make my way to the drivers seat. I turn the ignition on and speed home.

As I carry her into my house, she groans ands starts to wake up. "Hold on baby, we're nearly there" I say rubbing her back for comfort. But I immediately stop when she hisses in pain.

I lay her gently onto the bed, on her stomach, since there's something obviously wrong with her back. I start to lift her shirt up until she suddenly speaks up, "no don't! It's fine! Leave it." She says quickly. "I'm just taking a look, it'll only take a second" I say, continuing to raise her shirt. She jerks up but a loud sob sounds out. I quickly but carefully lay her back down onto her stomach. "Fuck princess, take it easy!"

I straddle her, on top of her ass, so I can have access to her back and so that she won't move. I lean forward and hold both her hands above her head with one of my own hands, and with the free one I lift up her shirt. "Chase, it's fine just leave it I said!" She squirms. "Princess, it's obviously not fine. You were drained after that fight and you go to the gym and box. You shouldn't of been that worn out. So you could of either been stabbed, hit on the head etc, or something else is the issue, which right in this moment, seems to be your back." I say.

"The fuck is this!?" I looked down to her back to see, fresh, pink cuts that look more like lashes. "Princess, what is this?" I ask her. I flip her over gently to lie on her back. I look into her eyes to see tears threatening to spill out. I pull her up to a sitting position, and hug her, careful not to touch her back.

"Nevaeh?" She just shakes her head and whispers "please don't make me say it"

There's an internal battle going on within my head. One part of me wants to lash out. I want answers. I want to kill the motherfucker who did this to her. The other part of me wants to tell her everything will be fine and cuddle her for hours upon hours. And that's what I did. I laid down on the bed, bringing her to lay on my chest so her back won't be bothering her. I kiss her forehead and just hug her till she falls asleep.

I just think, as I have Nevaeh, cradled in my arms. This whole thing is fucked. I've brought her into a life of guns and violence. And for what? My own selfishness, of not being able to function without her? I've only known her for a few weeks but shit, if they haven't been the best few weeks of my life. Not a second goes by when I'm not thinking about her. Doesn't matter if she's a mile away or beside me. It's come to the point where I can't even do some paper work without getting distracted by my thoughts about her gorgeous laughter. Her beautiful, fucking, blonde hair. Those Damn blue eyes that have me memorised, every, bloody time I look at them.

It's come to the point where she's the only one I can fucking stand. I only want her around me 24/7. I miss her not even 5 minutes she leaves my sight.

I move Nevaeh over to lie beside me, still on her stomach. I walk to the bathroom to get the first aid kit and other shit I'll need. I grabbed a towel and soaked it in warm water. I put it on her exposed back to get her blood circulation going. After a few minutes I took the towel off and rubbed some ointment on her back as carefully as I could. I rolled her shirt down and put everything back.

I went back to my position on the bed beside her and turned all the lights off. I kissed her forehead and closed my eyes.

It's fucked up that the people who are good on this planet, are the ones who get hurt the most.
