Romanticizing My Life

5

fuck. fuck. fuck

it's my fucking fault she's in this position. god if only i had convinced her to stay at school. god ok i got to stay hopeful, maybe he didn't hit her bad.

a minute after she sent me her location, everyone was on the road, i've got backup just in case just like she said, she's gone quiet but i'm still on the phone with her just in case she wakes up

'fucking stop hitting me you fucking dumbass'

i swear to god these people better shut up before i kill someone

'everyone shut the fuck up, we are trying to rescue her you fucking morons, not kill each other on the way there'

i hear murmurs of everyone saying sorry. after 10 minutes we arrive at her house and knock
on the door

'gabby you ok, i'm here open up'

i hear a very quite voice speak through the door

'aaron help i'm about to pass out again just break the door down'

fuck. no. she's badly hurt, no. this is my fault.

'ok gabby, make sure your nowhere near the door'

i grab my gun and shoot the handle, thank god no one lives out here.

'GABBY' i yell out, no response, i yell it out again still no response.

shit where is she. i walk into the the kitchen, not there. i check the living room, there she is. on the floor passed out in a pool of blood. i get to her and pick her up.

'fuck, princess wake up for me'

shit she's not waking up. i put my finger to her neck to check if she has a pulse. she does but barely. i turn to my right hand man

'fucking call vincenzo and get him over here stat. she's not going to last long like this.'

'got it boss'

he turns and starts calling him, in less than five minutes vincenzo's already here.

'aaron lay her on the bench top, and just sit next to her in case she wakes up.'

i nod my head and sit on an island stool. vincenzo starts stitching her up, putting ointment on her cuts and bruises. she starts opening her eyes and starts shivering.

'no no no, don't hurt me please. i don't want to die yet' she starts crying out with tears flowing out of her eyes

'shh princess don't worry i'm not going to hurt you don't worry'

she calms down after a while. i kiss her forehead and she just wraps her arms around my neck.

'i'm sorry, i'm so sorry. i didn't mean for this to happen. maybe if i didn't skip school he wouldn't beat me and you wouldn't have to come'

she starts crying again in my arms. i just kiss the top of her head and rub her back

'don't you even think that this is your fault ok? it was never your fault. you can't blame yourself for things your father does to you, ok?'

she nods her head and sniffles. my right hand guy walks in to see what's happened.

'hey boss, how is she?'

'she's fine for now but she's got to get out of here'

i feel someone grab my shirt and hang on for dear life. i realise its gabby but i'm confused on why she's holding on tightly.

'gabby, what's wrong'

'no no no. i thought he died, noo' there are tears rushing out of her face.

'who princess?'

'my-my rapist'

i look around to see who's around but it's only ronan my right hand man.

'gabby who is it?'

'why is he here? why is ronan here aaron?'

i turn to look at ronan but he's looking down at his feet

'ronan what the fuck does she mean by that'

before ronan can respond to me i hear gabby start talking quietly

'ronan is my old bodyguard that raped me aaron'

ronan turns to look at me but i already start talking

'ronan you have 5 seconds to explain to me why you would rape gabby or rape anyone for that matter, and don't tell me you didn't hear her say no because i know you did you fucking moron'

ronan is speechless, i have already made my mind up. ronan is fucking dead to me. i grab my gun out of my side pocket while holding gabby's head close to my chest.

'since you thought that taking away someone's right to say no is acceptable then i'll take your right to live. i'll let your wife know how and why you died and don't think you're getting a funeral'

he starts apologising profusely but i cut him off by shooting him straight in the head. i lift gabby up and place her on the counter and wrap my arms around her waist. 

she leans her head forward and rests it on my chest

'i'm sorry princess, if i knew that it was him that raped you i would've killed him by now'

'it's ok aaron, it's not your fault'

'i'm so so sorry gabby, i hope you know that'

she just nods her head and buries herself into me. i lift her up and we walk out of the kitchen into the living room. i turn to one of my bodyguards

'someone go clean the body up that's left in the kitchen'

'yes boss'

'and everyone else we are going back to the mansion now lets go'

everyone nods their heads and we start heading out. there's no way i'm letting gabby stay here with her dad.

'princess, your going to stay with me from now on ok? i hate to say this but if you live there any longer you're going to be dead and i want you here alive ok baby?

'ok but what about my father he's going to find me
and kill me aaron'

'don't worry gabby he won't, because i'll kill him first'

she just nods her head and i carry her into the car. i sit down with her in my lap and put the seatbelt around us. my driver starts driving and after a while we get back home. i undo the seatbelt and carry her out of the car. we walk in but i put her down but still holding onto her hand.

'aaron where am i going to sleep?'

'you can sleep anywhere you like just as long as your comfortable. when you get comfortable enough you can start sleeping with me but until then you can sleep where ever gabby'

'ok thank you aaron, i'm going to go find a guest room'

'no need i'll show you one with a walk-in robe and a bathroom and after your settled in we can go shopping tomorrow if you want'

she smiles at me and squeezes my hand. she leans her head against my forearm and i hear her sniffling. i instantly look down on her while she just hugs my arm. i wipe her tears away and tilt her head up to see me.

'what's wrong gabby, did i do anything wrong?'

when she sniffles she does this thing where she scrunches her nose and it's absolutely adorable.

'no it's just that your the only person that has ever cared this much for me to not hit me and have a safe place to live in'

i kiss the top of her head and start rubbing her cheek.

'come on princess let's go cuddle on the couch'
