Chapter 8

*don't forget to vote*

The night was euphoric. Rafe and Natalie were together all night. Dancing, drinking, sitting, and talking. They were sat outside on the front sharing a cigarette between the two. The party was slowly dying down as it hit 2oclock in the morning. But Natalie realised she had best move her car as kids were being sick outside.

'I'm just going to move my car I'll be two minutes.' She told Rafe as she went to her car. She moved it down the street about 3 houses down. As she got out and locked the car a boy came over to her. Her keys were in her hand as she turned around to see the boy coming her way.

'Just the girl I was looking for.' He spoke as Natalie looked at him closely. It was her ex she broke up with a year ago. Rafe and Topper helped her break up with the dude as it was an abusive relationship for the girl. Natalie's breaths hitched as she stepped back.

'Don't be like that baby.' Her ex put his hand on his chest fake hurting as if she broke his heart. Natalie flinched as his arm moved. She was about to speak till he came closer.

'What are you doing here Xavier?' She asked as he put her key in her jacket pocket. Natalie's voice was slightly shaky but she grabbed her key again realising the situation she was in. She. straightened her posture as she leaned against her car.

'Saw you and your boyfriend at Barry's thought I'd come over. Say hello to my precious Natasha.' He whispered against her ear. She was frightened at what he would do to her right now. She couldn't scream no one would hear her from here.

'Missed me?' He spoke out as she just glared at him. She just wanted to go back to Rafe and forget about this occurrence.

'No, I haven't. Excuse me as I have a party to go to.' She spits out as his facial expression changed. He was angry. He grabbed her keeping her in her spot against her car. Natalie shrugged his hand off of her as he growled at her action. He then laid both of his hands on her waist tightening his grip.

'You're fucking crazy get off me, you bastard.' Natalie muttered as she tried to get out of his grip to bolt for it. But he was stronger of course. She put her keys in between her fingers but Xavier caught on throwing the key to the ground.

'Don't think about it Natasha baby.' He threatened as his eyes followed hers towards her house. She wished Rafe or someone was here. As loud as she could she roared Rafe's name. Terror laced her voice box as Xavier covered her mouth.

Tears threatened to come out. She bit his hand as he backhanded her. This ended up with his hand gripping her throat to choke her. He lifted her up onto her car as she tried scratching his biceps and kicking but nothing worked. Natalie desperately tried to breathe for air but she couldn't.

'You shouldn't have left me, Natasha. This is your fucking fault.' He muttered as both of his hands gripped her neck. Natalie wasn't ready to die like this. She leaned back on her car escaping his grip slightly for air. But he applied more pressure. The edges of her eyesight turned black. She was going light-headed. As her eyes shut by themselves she felt the free from his grip as she gasped loudly, coughing as oxygen flew through her body again.

In front of her was Rafe dragging her ex into the road. Kelce and Topper were running behind down the street to help Rafe. Topper went over to his sister to see if she was okay. But he could already see the bruises forming around her neck. But he doesn't know about the ones on her waist.

Rafe's body was filled with rage seeing Xavier again. He couldn't believe the stunt he pulled. He heard his name from the distance as he waited in the driveway. He shouted Kelce and Top as he sprinted down. Despite the fact, her brother and Kelce were barefoot and shirtless they followed when he said he heard Natalie scream for help. At this point, he didn't even notice Kelce, Topper, and Natalie behind him as he kept throwing punch after punch into the ex-boyfriend's face. He warned him next time he sees him it's 'on sight' as he heard every story Natalie told to her best friend. Crying in his arms nights on end seeing the physical bruises he did to her and how mentally he hurt the pure girl.

Xavier was in the wrong place wrong time and Rafe made sure he would remember tonight and not mess with him again. The sound of Natalie crying brought the dirty blonde boy back to reality as he stopped hitting her ex. He looked at his bloody face as sweat dripped down his face. He looked almost dead did Xavier as he looked back at Natalie covering the dude's face with his own body. Rafe's rings and fists were covered in blood as he gave both of his eyes bruises that were already forming. He also gave him a broken nose as blood pooled out.

'Come near her again and I'll fucking kill you alright?' Rafe's voice was clearly full of anger as he shoved him to the ground. He nodded to Kelce and Topper who moved his body to a bush where he'll wake up. Rafe then pulled Natalie into his arms as he was gentle and soft to the girl's body. Rafe whispered sweet nothings into the girl's ear. He calmed her down as he covered her head in kisses.

Rafe carried the girl back to the house up into her room. Topper ended the party and got everyone out as he thanked Kelce and told him his sister will be alright. Natalie cried harder as she held onto dear life to Rafe's body. He placed her on the bathroom counter. He whispered to the girl that she needs to let go to get her some more comfortable clothes. He then went and got a shirt and shorts for the girl as she got dressed. Rafe has seen her in underwear before but he watched carefully as he saw more bruises on her waist from her exe's grip. He held everything back not to go back out there to hit the boy again. She put the shirt and shorts on as Topper entered the bathroom.

'I'm going to clean up a bit. Need anything shout.' He said as Natalie nodded. Natalie opened her tearful eyes as she saw Rafe grab the first aid kit. Rafe came back as he gently nudged her legs to get closer to the girl. He put his finger under Natalie's chin to see the damage caused.

'This is going to sting a bit I'm sorry Princess.' He told. He saw scratches on Natalie's arm with blood as he cleaned it up gently. She winced at the pain making Rafe look up at the girl's glossy eyes.

'I'm sorry Nat I should have gotten there quicker.' He told the girl as she spoke up finally.

'Don't be sorry Rafe.' She told him as she made him look at her again. He couldn't bare to see the marks left on her body from that bastard.

A couple of silent minutes passed as Rafe cleaned his best friend up. He was gentle when it came to her. But he couldn't help but frown as he realised how it felt when he came over from countless fights when Natalie cleaned him up. As he finished up Natalie cleaned his hands and his ring.

'How you feel Nat?' Topper came into the room as he stayed quiet. He passed his sister a water bottle to hydrate her throat before speaking.

'I'll say one thing I don't want to be called Natasha after that sicko of a bitch.' She replied as she chuckled. Natasha was the nickname he gave her. But they didn't know that. But they nodded agreeing to stick with Nat or Natalie. Rafe's hand went to the girl's cheek as she flinched a little. Topper watched as he frowned. He didn't want his sister scared again as it took months for her to be able to have physical touch. But she let him touch her cheek. Her hand went over it.

'Thank you, both, for saving me.' She chuckled a little as she looked at Topper then turned her gaze to Rafe. She wondered if Kelce got thanks but she didn't say anything.

'Fucker's lucky Rafe heard you, Nat.' Topper spoke up licking his lips. He placed a hand on Rafe's shoulder as Rafe dropped his hand from his sister's face.

'The bastard best be gone in the morning or he'll be dead.' Rafe scoffed as he washed his hands. Topper ran a hand through his hair as he went to his room. He said goodnight leaving Rafe and Natalie alone. Rafe was about to leave her room till she spoke up.

'Rafe. Stay please.' She asked slightly. He listened and go into bed with her. He drew small circles on the girl's back as she fell asleep slightly snoring which made Rafe smile. She laid in Rafe's arm close to his chest as Rafe was still awake. He was about to move till she grabbed him tightly.

'I love you so much, Natalie. I just wish we were more.' Rafe muttered as he talked to the sleeping girl. He stayed in the bed with her as he fell asleep with the girl he loves in his arms.
