3RD PERSON

It was not long until Jaden rushed through the doors too. He got scared when he saw the look on Celia's face.

"What do you mean you don't have time?" Michael asked as he cupped her face.

Jaden and Lexi were btoh watching from the side, being in shock, but not wanting to interrupt something between them.

"He knows. He fucking knows. I don't know how. I don't know how it happened. He said he knows about us and what we did. It's only luck that he got called to office so I could inform you. He will kill you Michael. You have to run."

"Celia, Celia, your head is bleeding." Jaden said as he approached her and wiped a little blood with his fingers.

"Where is Nessa, C?" Lexi asked, while Celia winced in pain.

"She isn't home. She had some stuff to do and he just came home and- and- but he had to go, so I came here. I don't know when momma is coming back and I don't have time to call her because he threw my phone at me and it broke."
"Josh did all of that?" Jaden asked, look in his eyes changing in the one Lexi hasn't seen in years.

"Yeah." Celia whispered before holding tighter Michael's wrist, "You have to go. You won't make it alive out of this."
"But what did you do except hide whole relationship? Slept?" Lexi asked making Celia look at Michael with embarrassed look on her face.

"Yes, we did. How the fuck does he know?"
"He takes me to doctor every few months. Uh, you know. And also whenever I-" She started talking, but then stopped as she realized she can't just say those things in front of his parents.

"What Celia? You have to tell us." Jaden reassured, making her shake her head.
"I can't."
"Celia just say it. Whatever it is." Michael said, making her look at him again.

Lexi approached her and pulled her away from Michael and Jaden, whispering in her ear.

"Dentist right? They can see your throat? And gynecologist?" Lexi asked, making Celia nod her head, embarrassed.

Lexi already knew about it, since Nessa did tell her couple of times about it.

"What a fucking psycho. Okay, Michael, go take your siblings down to the play room, and Jaden, go to our room to bring me the first aid. Now." Lexi held eye contact with Jaden, but he was staring through her.

He was already planning the way he would kill Josh when he comes.

"Jaden!" She yelled, making him turn around and then leave the room.

"Come here C, you need to wash your face." Lexi brought Celia to the bathroom, holding her hair back slightly so it wouldn't go in her face.

"You wanna put your hair up in a ponytail so I could clean your head or- because I don't wanna hurt you."
"Yeah."
"Here." Jaden said as he placed first aid kit on the counter before turning to leave the room.

"Give me just a second and I'll be back." Lexi said as she cupped Celia's face and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Lexi-"
"Yeah?"
"Can you stay here please and also call my momma?" Celia asked asher eyes were full of tears.

"We'll call your momma, I promise, I just need to calm Jaden down."
"Please."
"But C-"
"I don't want you to calm him down. Let him kill him. Please. I can't do it with him anymore."

Lexi's eyes widened as Celia broke down crying.

"Don't worry, bub. You, nor your mom, will go back in that house to live with him. I promise you that."

Celia nodded her head before Lexi left the room and chased after Jaden.

"Jaden." Lexi pulled back Jaden by his wrist, making him stop his tracks and look at her.

"Don't even try."
"You can't. Don't do it Jaden. I know, I know everything. But don't do it. Many things are going through your head now and I understand it, but think about your kids. Try that. Just think about them. They don't need to see you killing him, do they?" Lexi cupped Jaden's face, saying those words in a voice that she knew would reach to Jaden's brain and make him calm down as much as he could.

His eyes started filling with tears, making Lexi shake her head.

"No time to fucking cry. Cry later, now it's time to save two women who have been living like that for too long now. Okay?" Jaden nodded his head, fixing his posture as tears that were in his eyes just disappeared.

"Whatever happens you don't go near him. Okay?" He said as he held the back of Lexi's head.

"Call Nessa now and explain everything. She can't go to their house, alright?"
"Yes. You go and clean that cut, it was really deep." Jaden said, making Lexi nod as she got back in the bathroom.

Who else would manage to do that to Jaden? No one. No one ever. It's only Lexi that has ever been able to calm him down and put him in the right place. So no matter how much times Lexi called Jaden her savior, she was Jaden's too.

"Jaden is calling your mom, we'll clean your cut now. Okay?"
"It's not needed. I already cleaned it." Celia said, shrugging her shoulders. She was already so used to doing stuff like that and needing to clean her cuts when Nessa wasn't able to.

"Let me see." Lexi sighed as she walked over and checked the cut. They put a some type of bandage over it and then Michael walked in the room.

"Hey." He said as he looked at his mom and girlfriend. Lexi gave him a sympathetic look before squeezing Celia's hand and leaving the room.

She wanted to let them have their own moment, without parents around them.

"Does it hurt?" Michael asked as he stood between Celia's legs.
"Had it worse, so it's fine." She answered as she played with her fingers.

"I promise I'm not letting you go back to that house. Nor your mom."
"I'm sorry for bringing your family into this. Especially you. I don't even know how he found out."
"Don't apologize. You wanna tell me what exactly happened?"
"I was in shower, uh, and he banged on my doors telling me to get out and get dressed that same moment. So I did, and uh, I walked out and the first thing that he did was to slap me. Then he cussed me out and called me names before starting to beat me up. And he was, like, calling me a slut for having sex at 16 and doing other sexual stuff. And then he was like: 'It was Michael, wasn't it?' and I tried denying it but he already knew and there was no point of denying any more. I didn't know that he was telling my dentist to take a look at my throat while he cheks my teeth, or that taking me to the gynecologist was to check if I had sex. I've been going to gynecologist since I was six. And, like, for fucks sake, you can lose hymen even without having sex."
"I'm sorry for everything. This is mainly my fault. I promise I will keep you safe. I-" Two of them were interrupted when they heard yelling downstairs.
