•Arabella's POV•

It's been ages since Leo left, I have no idea what he's doing to his father but a part of me doesn't want to know.

I got changed again earlier into a pink crop top, and low waisted light blue ripped jeans.

I've been scrolling through my phone looking at Instagram while sitting on the edge of my bed, the blankets still covering my lower half, my knees curled up to my chest as I scroll through my feed, I wanted to see what some people from my high school have been doing.

I'll be 19 soon and I mean some of my friends are older than me but some of them already have children.

I've never even seen Leo's father before so our first encounter was far from friendly and I was definitely not a good impression on him.

Willow hasn't come back and Maria is probably still with that gardener, I'm not complaining though I need some alone time.

I don't even see the point of being a maid anymore when Leo tells me not to work?

He already told me I'm not aloud to work in till the bruise on my neck is healed up but because of that I'm going to be so bored.

I flip my blankets to side so I can get to the edge of my bed, sitting on the edge of the bed to put some shoes on before leaving my room.

I want to see the doggies.

Even though Leo said not to go near them without asking or without him, he doesn't have to know right?

Making my way back outside the two giant dogs sprint their way in my direction when they see me, their tongues hang out of their mouths.

They are just the absolute cutest I love these dogs.

I turn my head to look around the back yard, that's when I see it.

Leonardo beating his father up blood pouring from Cameron's forehead and onto the grass staining the grass a purple like red colour, I'm surprised I didn't hear all this racket just before when I walked out just to play with the dogs.

My mind goes blank I don't know what to think.

Looking at Leonardo ruthlessly slam his fist into the side of his own Fathers head in till he loses consciousness and falls to the floor is terrifying.

I've never seen Leonardo act this way but I hate it, I hate it more than anything.

It's scary, no shame in what he's done shows in his eyes, I let out a scream. And that's when Leonardo snaps his attention to me.

"Arabella!" He pleads, letting his father drop to the floor carelessly, and sprinting my way, I don't want to be near him right now.

I run to the door, to my disadvantage it's windy out slowing me down, but with a mix of scared and angry in one, I get to the door before Leonardo does, my hand flings around the tall glass door handle heaving it open and running in.

I can hear Leo's heavy steps behind me, I don't stop though the adrenaline of it all only persuaded me to move even faster, I run as fast as my feet let me, quickly getting out of breath, but I push past the urge to stop.

I get that he did everything out there for me, and because of me, but I'd never wish anything like that on anyone no matter who it is and what they had done to me, because if he dies I know I'll blame myself for his death.

And after all it is my fault if he dies if I didn't tell Leo then none of this would have happened at all.

I take the nearest turn, into the kitchen I have no idea where I'm going but I can only hope I lost him.
