Jaime
It'd been over an hour since we left mine and Tony's place and Kelsey was still sleeping. I'd managed to get off the couch without waking her and I was now sitting next to the table watching her sleep.

I've met enough fans who've been abused to know how to carefully handle it. I'm still annoyed that I didn't pick up on it sooner but at least I know now and she was willing to tell me.
Suddenly my phone started ringing, luckily it was on silent. It was Storm.

"Hey Hime" she said.
"Hey, is everything okay over there?" I asked nervously, lowering my voice so I didn't wake Kelsey up.
"Yeah, Vic is at Ashlee's place and Mike is back at his place with Tony" she said.

"Why didn't Tony call?" I asked.
"Well there was a lot of blood left after I finally broke them up, so it took a while for us to clean the house, as well as them. That got him out if his bad mood. He told me to call you while he looked after Mike" she said. I gulped. Blood did not sound good.

"Did she tell you?" She asked after a while.
"Yeah, I got it out of her" I said looking over at Kelsey.
"I'll never forgive that guy for what he did to her" she muttered angrily.

"How...how bad was it?" I asked, knowing Kelsey would never tell me the whole truth.
"She had counselling for nearly a year, she didn't sleep for a whole month because she thought he would come back" she said.

"I just needed to know" I said quietly.
"I get it, just be careful with her" she said and hung up. Soon Kelsey woke up and I sat next to her.
"Are they okay?" She asked, still groggy from just waking up.

"They're fine don't worry" I said stroking her hair lightly. I couldn't understand how anybody could hurt someone so beautiful. We soon drove back to the house to see if Storm was okay.

We walked in and saw her tipping a bucket of water into the sink. There was a faint red tinge to the water and I shuddered. She really wasn't exaggerating. She saw us and smiled weakly.

"That bad huh?" Kelsey asked as Storm sighed. She just nodded.
"He scared me. I thought he was gonna actually kill him" Storm said, her voice cracking a bit from holding it all in. Kelsey hugged her as she finally broke down in tears.
If this was how it affected Storm, I'm glad Kelsey wasn't here.
