Just Doing My Job ~ Race

Y/N Pov:

Wow. Racetrack Higgins, the most flirtatious creature in all of Manhattan, not to mention the love of my life, just agreed to go on a date with me. Am I dreaming? Because if I am, I don't wanna wake up! Speaking of waking up... damn I really need to get home and head to bed it is super late and I don't wanna be out this late with all the freaks of Manhattan. As I start heading home I can't help but hope that my parents aren't home. It would be a nightmare to come home to my drunk parents, and especially this late. I arrive at my house and see the kitchen light on, so to ensure my safety I sneak into my bedroom, turn off the lights, and shut my window. I mean, how would they know I snuck in... right?

Race Pov:

Wow. The girl of my dreams wants to go on a date with me. I mean, who wouldn't? I'm amazing. I was about to head back to the lodging house but I saw Y/N leave her job and start walking somewhere. I assumed she was just walking home but it was really late and I wanted to make sure she got home safely so I followed her. I know, I know, it sounds weird but I love this girl and I want to make sure she's safe. If something had happened to her I'd never forgive myself. She had reached what I think was her house and she had- climbed through the window? Weird... it's as if she saw something that made her want to not enter through her front door. I mean, the only times I had ever gone through a window is with the incident with Crutchie and when I would enter the lodging house through a window so Jack wouldn't get mad at me for getting back so late. Jack's mom stare is so scary I almost crapped my pants one time when he gave me the mom stare. But, why would she go through her window unless she was in trouble? Well now I think something is wrong so might as well just... let myself in (totally not breaking and entering) What? I wanna see if she's ok, the things I would do for her... I enter her house and I don't see anyone, I assume that her parents are asleep and she's fine and I am about to exit when I hear screaming from upstairs and what sounds like glass shattering. I start running upstairs to see...

Y/N Pov:

I thought I was home free until I heard the slurred voice of my drunken father. "And whO do yOU think you are coming home so late like this?" Shit, I thought. "I'm sorry, I was just working a- and it was a very busy day and I'm very sorry it won't happen again." "You're sure right it ain't happening again because you ain't ever leaving this house again." My father said, becoming angrier by the second. He started walking closer to me and I started backing away overall, colliding with my bedroom wall. "Do you think it's OKAY to lie to me? It wasn't no busy day you were probably somewhere sleeping around with some stupid boy! Do you know what happens when you lie, Y/N? You get PUNISHED." My father screams, picking up a random cup and throwing it at the wall next to me, it shatters and some broken glass cuts my face and I scream. Next thing I know I'm on the floor crying while trying to protect myself from the cruel stares of my father. "Aw, poor baby, what are you going to do? Just cry? That's what I thought." He starts laughing maniacally and kicking me over and over. I feel my eyelids start to droop and I can feel the crimson blood leaking through my shirt onto my carpet. Just as I'm about to close my eyes, I see a blurred figure run into my room. I can't make out who he is but I can see the look of horror on his face as he sees me lying on the ground in a puddle of my own blood. I see the blurred figure attack my father and I see my father laying on the ground. The figure comes close to me and says what I think is my name and then I know. It was Race. How did he know where I was? The last thing I can croak out are the words "Help me..." as I feel myself get lifted into Race's arms, and finally succumbing to the darkness.
