TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF SELF HARM

Jody's Pov

"Karma!" Jade squealed as she ran out of the door and into Karmas arms, Karma sent Jason an irritated glance before bending down and hugging Jade to her chest. She quickly let go before taking Jade's face in both of her hands.

"Are you okay? Where are you hurt?" She hugged Jade back to her chest, "God, that doesn't matter right now. You're safe, don't worry."  She stroked Jade's hair.

My eyes left their figures before looking up to Jason's face, he was focused on both Karma and Jade and seemed to be seething with anger. I furrowed my brows wondering what he could be thinking about and knowing that whatever it was it wasn't anything good.

"How did you find me? Are you taking me h-" I heard Jade cut herself off, "Are you taking me back with you?" 

Before Karma could answer her I watched as Jason pulled apart their hug grabbing Jade by her upper arm and roughly dragging her to his side causing her to let out a sharp gasp. Karma stood to her feet in a second. I looked to Jades face which was contorted into fear and worry. 

Jason looked down to Jade, "You aren't going anywhere with them." He growled. 

"Stop being an asshole Jason. She doesn't need this, especially right now." Karma retorted. Jade only looked towards her feet, too scared to make a move or use her own voice. She only stood beside him obediently, like I'd seen her do so many times before, I couldn't stand to see her do it again.

I looked her over, she had bruises from head to toe, one in particular was a big purple one on her cheek. I winced knowing what must have happened, she had bandages on her forearms covering her wrists, and she looked skinny like she hadn't eaten for days.

Jason gripped her arm harder making Jade flinch, "I didn't call you here to take her from me." Jade looked up at Jason in wonder at what he had said. 

"Y-you called Karma?" Jade asked in the smallest voice I've ever heard. Jason glared down at her and she shrunk back looking like she had just remembered what her place was. 

Karma glared back at Jason. "Come on. You had to have known what was going to happen the minute you dialled my number." She put her face in her hands, she was tired and I knew that she was, she never slept those nights we spent in the truck, I knew it was the stress from both the farm being gone and Jason getting away with Jade. "Can we please at least go inside, and let me look at her?"  

Jason seemed to think about this, before agreeing and motioning for us to walk into his motel room. We started walking in. He really did treat her like his possession, a piece of property. he only agreed to let us look her over in the motel room because it was as if Karma was saying 'okay she's yours, just let me look at her' my fists curled into themselves as a furious feeling washed over me, she wasn't a breakable antique in a thrift shop, we shouldn't have to look but not touch her. We shouldn't have to buy our time with her with careful words.

We should be getting her the hell out of there and away from this psychopath. 

I watched as Jason led Jade over to a bed and sit her down, he lightened his grip on her arm then looked to Karma who stood beside him with crossed arms looking right back at him. He reluctantly let go of her arm then looked over to me before walking over to the couch and sitting down.

Karma looked down at her wrists before picking one of them up gently. "Am I allowed to take the bandages off, to see the damage?" She wasn't asking Jade, she looked over her shoulder at Jason who sat forward on the couch with his arms on his knees his fingers were pressed against his lips. He wasn't angry, he looked worried, scared even. Hesitantly he nodded his head.
