TW: ANXIETY AND VIOLENCE

"Are you okay, love?" Florence squeezed my hand as our car stopped at the airport.

"Yeah, I'm just... Nervous."

"We'll be okay. I'm here." She gave me a reassuring smile and gave me a peck.

We are going to England today. Flo has to shoot there for her new series and I'll accompany her for two weeks. It's also been a day since Flo revealed our relationship to the public. We've been together for 3 years now and we're engaged! I proposed to her last week at a private romantic dinner with just us two.

Anyway, I've always thought that having a celebrity partner or relative is fun but, nope. At some points, definitely not.

People have been digging for information about me and my family and; yesterday, a swarm of paparazzi chased me after work. Fortunately, I got rid of them because I know this city damn well.

"Excuse me." Our bodyguards protected us from the people approaching. The flash from the cameras is fucking blinding.

"Y/N! Look here!"

"How long have you been together, guys?"

"Flo! Give us a smile!"

I held Flo's waist and pulled her closer to me. We keep our heads down and made our way inside. 

"This way, ma'am." 

Before sending us onto a bus that will take us to the aircraft, they checked our IDs first. Upon checking, more and more people have recognized us and the crowd surrounding us got bigger. 

I can feel myself tearing up and wanting to breathe even more air. Shit... Please, not my anxiety. Not now.

"Can you please hurry up?" Flo asked the staff and gave me a worried look.

I tried to calm myself down while waiting for them to finish what they're doing. 

"Love, we'll go now. Come on."

Florence wrapped her arms around me as we walked to our bus. 

"Just one picture, guys!"

"Florence, is that an engagement ring?!"

"Are guys engaged?"

"Woah! Back off!" 

The guards shouted as the crowd following us became tighter. The security isn't enough to protect us from the crowd. They started to move aggressively, hitting each other and making us scurry.

"Florence..." My voice broke as I called her. My anxiety is creeping in and I don't think I can calm myself down.

"Don't let go of my hand, Y/N."

We fought our way out of the crowd and when we thought it's finally over...

"Y/N!" 

My whole body got alert by the sound of one voice. Dad.

Mom left dad when I was 20 because he got influenced by his friends. He'd always come home late and drunk. He even brought home a woman for fuck's sake. He also knew about my sexuality, and the news breaking that I and Florence are in a relationship is probably the reason he's here. And have I mentioned that he's homophobic? That's why he didn't think twice when he left me and mom.

He was storming towards us. I don't know if he brought any weapons or what but I'm sure that he's going to hit us.

"Florence!" 

I quickly pulled her close to me and used my body as a shield. A heavy wave of pain hit my head and all that I heard was people shouting. My vision became blurry because of my dizziness.

"Y/N? Oh my god! Call an ambulance!" 

Florence held my cheeks and cried at the sight of me. I saw dad being taken away by the guards and faced Florence again.

"A-are you... Okay?" I dizzily asked Flo and saw shattered glasses on the floor. 

"Y-yeah but you..."

I touched the back of my head where it hurt the most. Damn it.

I felt something wet on my hand and brought it to my sight. Blood.

"I'm... Fine." 

Or maybe not. 

Third Person's POV

"I'm... Fine." 

Y/N answered before falling into unconsciousness. Florence's reflex was fast enough to catch her. 

"Fuck! Y/N... Hey, love. Don't fall asleep, please..." Florence pleaded as she tried to wake her up but got nothing in response. 

The ambulance arrived and they carefully put Y/N in a stretcher. Florence held Y/N's hand during the whole ride and also contacted people to find the man who hit Y/N.

(Time skip 'cause I suck at writing T_T)

At the hospital...

"What?! H-he's... Y/N's father?" She worriedly looked at Y/N who's now laying on a hospital bed, sound asleep.

"N-no... She told me about her father but I never got to see him. This is the first time I've seen her father... I'll talk to her about this. Update me. Thank you." 

Florence immediately hung up when she saw Y/N moving.

"W-what... What happened? F-flo?" 

Y/N weakly sat up as Florence helped her. 

"Your... Y-your dad hit your head with a glass bottle. How are you feeling?"

(Back to Y/N's POV)

"Little bit dizzy but I can handle. What happened after?"

"He got taken by the guards out of the airport. Y/N... I'm gonna file a case against him." Flo's voice was serious and concerned. I know she just wants to protect me and I truly appreciate it. 

I sighed and looked at her again. 

I know he's my dad but he's been an asshole to me and mom and now, even to my future wife. I can't risk Flo's safety.

"I understand and I agree with you. If it's only me, I can handle it. I can handle him but you... I'm not gonna let him lay a hand on you." I breathe deeply and spoke again.

"Okay... Let's file a case against him."
