Laila pov

I wake up in my bed at home. I have no idea how I got here, all I know is that something woke me up and that everything hurts me.
As I start to adjust, I realize I had been woken up by someone coming down the basement stairs. 'Oh no! Those footsteps belong to one person, and one person only. Oh someone please save me'.

Devol's pov

Oh that girl is going to get it. How dare she bring her people to our house! 'be careful with her' that's what that woman teacher said to me! Who is she to tell me what to do in my own fucking house! I'm going to teach that good for nothing freak a lesson she won't forget anytime soon.

Time skip

I straighten my hair and clothing before I leave the basement. 'That stupid girl won't be causing us troubles for a long time', I think with a slight chuckle.
I really tired myself out with that 'session' so I head upstairs and go to bed.

Zaila's pov

It's around 11:00pm and I'm at Tristan's house. We just finished playing video games, (which he won), and we were now talking on the couch.
"I just don't understand it?" I exclaim as my phone starts to ring.
"Hello" I answer, wondering who is calling so late.
"Hewp" a small strained voice comes through the phone, "but be quiet or he gonna hurt me again. I in de basement." Then all I hear is shallow breathing.
"I'm coming sweetheart,just hold on"I say terrified, as I grab my keys.
Tristan grabs my hand. I only now realize that I'm shaking and can't see straight. He takes the keys from me and pulls me to the car, he gets in and says "where to Zay?"
"24527 Prayten Dr, Laila's house"
As we drive there I fill Tristan in on what has been going on, and my suspicions when I dropped Laila off at home. Tristan listened and said he will go in with me and we can take her to his house for tonight. I don't have time to thank him because by that time we pulled up to Laila's house and before the car has stopped I'm already out of the car, and halfway to the back door. Tristan catches up to me quickly and we quietly sneak downstairs to the basement. What I see down there  makes me cry.
An unconscious Laila laying on the cold stone floor in a puddle of her own blood coming from her nose. 
Tristan walks over to her and gently picks her up, his jaw tightly clenched . He walks back up the stairs and to the car without a word. I follow him and get in the back, and he hands me Laila. He gets in the front and takes off toward his house.
I look down at the small body in my hands and begin to wipe the blood off her face with my sleeve. Once her face is clean I hold her close to me. 
"I will protect this girl with everything I am" I say to no one in particular.
"Me too" I hear Tristan say.
