*Ivy*

I was woken up in the middle of the night. There was a sound in the room. I tried to wake up Charles but he slept too deep. I tried to fall asleep again. Suddenly there was a silhouette. I started to panic. A few seconds later someone put a hand on my mouth and pulled me out of the bed. I tried to shout for help but there was no sound. I fought against the person but their grip was too tight. Tears streamed down my face. What would happen to me now? Would the person kidnap me? I was pulled out of the room and into the corridor of the hotel. I tried everything to get out of the grip. The lights were on and I could identify the person. It was Liam. I was shocked. Still I tried to escape from him. "Stop that, Ivy", he said as quiet as possible. Otherwise people would hear him. I tried to scream as loud as possible. He pulled me to the elevator. What would he do with me?

*Charles*

I quickly got up and put on my pants and shoes. Then I searched the room for Ivy. I noticed the door was open. Fuck. Where did she go? She definitely would've told me if she went anywhere. Something wasn't right. I ran into the corridor but there was no one. Suddenly there was a sound. A silent scream. It must be Ivy. I ran down the corridor to the elevator. "Ivy!", I screamed. No answer.

*Ivy*

"Ivy!", I heard someone screaming down the corridor. It was Charles voice. "Charles!", I tried to scream but Liam's hand was still on my mouth to shut me silent. I cried. We were in the elevator now. Liam pushed the button to the ground floor. As the elevator closed he finally released my mouth. "What are you doing Liam?", I asked him out of breath while crying. "Do you really thought you could just leave me like this and already fuck someone else?", he said and raised his voice. It made me wince.  "You cheated on me, Liam. Who I spent time with is not your business anymore", I shouted and then screamed for help.

*Charles*

The sound came from the elevator. The doors were closed already. I pushed the door to the stairs and ran them down fast. I almost tripped a couple times. In my head was just one thought: What if I came too late? She would be gone. Someone would hurt her, I knew that.

*Ivy*

We arrived at the ground floor. There was no staff from the hotel. It was 4am in the morning. "Let me go, Liam", I screamed and fought against his grip. He was too strong for me. He pulled me to the exit from the hotel with his hand on my mouth. "No, Ivy. You'll pay for this. You can't just move on. I love you", he said and his words were scaring me. "You never loved me", I tried to say. His grip hurt.

*Charles*

I heard a male voice in the lobby. I heard this voice before. "Liam", it came to my mind. I quickly pushed the door open and saw a guy pulling Ivy to the exit. She fought against it. I ran to them and pushed Liam hardly to release Ivy from his grip. "Ivy", I shouted. She turned around. I saw that she was crying. But I couldn't pay much attention on her because Liam stood up from the floor and pushed me. We started to fight. He hit me into my face and I immediately felt pain. My lip was bleeding. I had no time to think about it so I kept hitting him too.

*Ivy*

Suddenly I saw Charles running to us. I was so happy he was there. He pushed Liam aside so that he fell to the floor and came to me. Unfortunately Liam stood back up and they started to fight. Liam hit Charles in the face. I knew he was in pain and his lip was bleeding. What would happen now? I didn't think. I just ran to the counter and pushed a button to call staff from the hotel. They appeared some moments later. It was two men. "I need help, call the police. The guy on the right attacked me. My boyfriend is fighting him", I informed them hysterically and pointed to Charles and Liam. I didn't even realise I called Charles my boyfriend in this moment. They looked a little shocked but then reacted quickly. One of them called the police. The other one ran to the guys fighting and tried to get between them. He looked very muscular and seemed like he knew what he had to do.
It all happened so quickly. He went up to Liam and took him in his grip. Liam fought against him but had no chance. The muscular man pulled him aside and held him tight. As I was sure he was no threat anymore I quickly ran up to Charles. He looked horrible. There was blood all over his face and he was in deep pain. "Charles!", I shouted and fell into his arms. He released a breath. "Ivy, I'm so happy you're okay", he said holding me tightly. I was still crying. "Are you okay? You're bleeding", I asked him and sobbed. "I'm okay, don't worry", he said without letting me go. "I was so scared", I sobbed in his arms. I was so relieved he was there to save me from my psycho ex boyfriend. "I know, I'm so sorry I didn't hear him pulling you out of bed", his voice broke. "You couldn't, Charles. He put his hand on my mouth", I meant but still sobbed. "You're such a slut", I heard Liam shouting and quickly turned my head. Charles body tensed up. "I'll kill him", he was about to go to Liam but I held him back. "No, don't leave me Charles. Ignore him", I said and looked at Liam disgusted. Charles stayed back even though I knew it was hard for him. "Don't ever insult her again", Charles said in a threating voice but then pulled me into his arms again. Finally I felt safe again. Nobody could hurt me when I was with him.
