Mr. Badass

Somethings gotta give

I woke up sweaty with red, puffy eyes and shaking hands. the whole house was freezing cold and something was tapping on my window.

The annoying noise wouldn't stop so I shuffled over to the window expecting to see a storm.

The "raindrops" were multicoloured and weren't coming down from faded clouds.

I threw open my window hoping that the quick motion would be less noisy that the slow creaking.

I could see a hooded figure throwing skittles up at me.

"Laur, get your beautiful arse down here" a husky voice shouted up at me. a lone skittle flew up and hit my nose.

"Blake?" I whisper shouted down at him.

"Babe, we've gotta go now" he called back up at me, "grab a bag and fill it with everything that you need"

I nodded my head before hastily rummaging around until I found a large backpack that I used when we moved here.

I ransacked my room finding underwear, shirts, jeans, shorts and a few dresses. I have no clue how long I will be with Blake for but somehow I knew that I would be safe.

I grabbed my deodorant and any makeup that I think thy I would need before zipping it up. I threw on an oversized hoodie and laced up my boots before swinging the bag over my shoulders and running down the stairs.

I looked over my shoulders at the house I've made my own hell. I smiled a grim smile before opening the door.

Blake was waiting a little way up my driveway, he was standing outside his car holding the passenger door open.

"What are we doing?" I whispered.

"Look Laura, I know what he is doing to you and I'm not letting him hurt you anymore" he paused and scratched his head, "stay with me, just for a little bit?" He asked with a cute little face.

I knew that by me nodding my head I was disobeying every rule that I knew but if Blake can be a badass.

I'm going to be a fucking badass with him.

I let him place my bag into the boot and climbed into the car, my breathing hitched when the engine started but I was ready to be free.

"The drive is about 4 hours, I've got a small cottage in the country we can stay there for a little while" he looked over at me and my drooping eyes.

"I'm sleepy" I yawned and he smiled.

"Go to sleep baby, you need to rest anyway and tomorrow we can see a doctor about those wounds"

Only ten did I remember the pain that I was in, although with all of the adrenaline I didn't really feel as much as I usually would.

I lent my head up against the cool glass window and relished the feeling of Blake's warm hand covering my own as we dove in silence.

I liked hearing the full hum of the car and the quiet sound of his breathing it was comforting and made t eyes drift shut.

~ dream ~

Hushabye baby,
You're almost dead.
You don't have a pulse.
Your pillow is red.
Your family hates you.
Your friends let you bleed.
Sleep tight with a knife.
Because it's all you need.

~ wake ~

I awoke from being shaken by a seemingly alarmed blake.

"Are you alright?" He questioned looking stressed.

"I'm fine" I smiled and reached up to touch his arm in a reassuring way.

His fingers brushed my cheeks and he muttered something about me crying but I shrugged it off.

He informed me that we were now at the cottage and I was to tired to Speak so I just nodded and hummed in response.

"Let's get you into pjs and then into bed"

I sighed, "carry me?" I asked with a puppy dog face plastered all over me.

He growled before sliding one arm around my back and the other under my legs and the next thing I knew I was being carried bridal style by a very hot Blake.

My head was nestled in his chest and I was content. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to fall into a deep safe sleep.
