Always and Forever, remember?

Chapter 26

Lexi's POV

"Wha-" I started but couldn't get any further. One, because I was in shock and two, because he interrupted me.

"Now, now, Lexi, won't you let your father in the house?" he asked as he tried to enter the house.

Yes. My beloved father-note the sarcasm- was standing on the porch. In my house.

"There's no way am I letting you into the house. Especially when I'm alone." as soon as I said the words, my eyes widened because I had just told him that I was alone at home.

"Alone, huh?"

"N-No...J-Jake" I called out to the walls in my house. My heart was thudding against my chest. Lord, please help me.

"Oh darling, I know he's not at home. Stop playing."

I tried closing the door again but that just angered him and made him push the door so hard that I fell back and hit my head against the shoe rack. Hard. I felt my vision going black at the corners but I managed to stand up.

By now, Peter was standing in front of me. My phone was in the living room so I carefully, making sure he didn't touch me, made my way around him and ran into the living room. Before I could even unlock the phone, it was snatched away from my hands and thrown across the room. Peter held me by my wrist and pushed me against the wall.

"Colton's gonna come. Anytime now." I said, while struggling against his hold.

"Stop fighting me, love...And I'm not scared of them" he said calmly, as he started kissing my neck. The tears were flowing uncontrollably now. I didn't know what to do other that just keep struggling against his hold. But that wasn't going too well because of the hit I took to my head.

I knew that me struggling against him was getting on his nerves because he took my wrists and hit them against the wall next to my head. I whimpered in pain as my wrists struck the wall.

"Stop, please!" I tried shouting but my voice came out only as a whisper.

My pleading didn't stop him though. He kept kissing my neck and kept moving downwards. He had managed to remove my top and was going to start with the trousers when the door burst open.

That made Peter pause to see who it was. I could barely keep my eyes open. Peter let go of me as soon as he saw the person who came. I fell to the ground because I had no energy.

"Can't you just leave her alone?!" I heard Colton roar. "I swear if you don't leave this instant, I will beat you up so bad that you will beg me to kill you!"

"Oh come on..you really think a kid like you is gonna scare me?" Peter said.

"Just. Leave. This is going to the police. Enough is enough!" my boyfriend said.

"Alright, alright, I'm going." Peter said.

I let out a sob as I felt my Colton caress my cheek.

"I'm so sorry baby, I shouldn't have gone...hell I should've taken you with me. Oh god! I'm so sorry baby." he said softly.

" Is he gone?" I whispered as the tears kept rolling down my cheeks.

"Yeah...don't worry about him.I'm gonna pick you up now ok?" he said as he brought his arms around me.

I nodded and let him. But as soon as he put me on the couch, I let out a cry. My head hurt.

"Are you ok?" he asked, concern clear in his voice.

I shook my head and continued.crying.

He took me in his arms and started rubbing my back soothingly.

I took his t-shirt in my hands but winced when I put pressure on my right wrist.

"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

"My wrist hurts." I whispered, holding it protectively.

"Let me see it.." he said as he took my wrist and held it gingerly in his. It was already blue-black.

"We have to go and get this checked out." he said, wiped the tears from my face and handed me my top. He helped me put it on and then drove to the hospital. He had already texted Jake and asked him to meet us at the hospital.
