7 Minutes ~ Jude Bellingham

right place at the right moment

Lena's POV:

Lena's home - 00u04

I opened the door as quietly as I could, stepping inside my warm house. All the lights were out, and it looked as if I made it home without Ralf noticing that I had left the house without his permission.

I closed the door, turned around and walked into something hard.

Well shit.

"Where have you been Lena?" a cold voice asked. I knew that there was no turning back now. I took a deep breath and answered. "I was with Leonie." I said, trying to sound confided and hiding the fear in my voice.

"Aha. And since when do we leave the house without asking for my permission?" Ralf bit back, sounding at least 6 times as angry as his last sentence.

"You weren't here." I responded quietly. 

After I said that, hell broke loose. He started throwing all sorts of insults at me and was trying to hit me. I could dodge his punches a few times, until he yelled again and beat my collarbone up.

"You stupid bitch, you will pay for disobeying me you little slut!" Ralf yelled and hit me on my collarbone. I flew against the door and fell to the ground, my collarbone hurting really bad.

God, please please send me an angel right now. I could use it.

? POV:

Lena's home - 00u07

The friend of that girl gave me her adres and said I could go give it back. At first my plan was to go give the necklace back somewhere tomorrow, but as it is on the route to my house I decided to do it now.

I stopped my car in front of the girl's house and got out. When I walked over to the front door I could hear yelling.

Oi, that doesn't sound good.

"You stupid bitch, you will pay for disobeying me you little slut!" I could hear a man yelling.

I stood there for a few seconds listening to the two people yelling, until I heard a loud bang and someone screaming even louder.

I didn't hesitate and tried to open the door, not knowing if it was locked or not.

It wasn't. 

I got in and when I stepped into the room, the two people were visible surprised.

"What the heck dude, what are you doing in my fucking house?!" the mand spat at me. Before responding I looked around and I saw the girl who ran into me earlier tonight laying on the floor. Her shirt was ripped and I could see how her collarbone was turning black through one of the holes.

"I was here to give her necklace back, but what the fuck dude you need to chill out. Did you do this to her?" I screamed at the man who looked like he had seen a ghost.

Before I could realize what was going on, the man ran through the door and disappeared. I sighed and turned to the girl, taking her necklace out of my pocket.

"I assume this is yours?" I asked her quietly while kneeling down next to her. She didn't say anything but just nodded. 

"Ye-yes it i-is. Th-thank you f-for bringing it back." she whispered with a raspy voice, clearly shaken up by what just happened. I sat down on the floor next to her and took a moment to take her appearance in.

That's when I recognized her. She's the girl who I made eye contact with during the warm up. She was absolutely breathtaking. Even when sitting down I could see that she was on the taller side. She had dark brown hair, a very pale skin with the most gorgeous grey eyes I had ever seen. Her face features where light but well-spoken. 

"Can I take a look at your collarbone?" I asked, and she nodded again. I carefully ripped her shirt further open so I could see her collarbone a bit better. It was completely bruised, turning black and I could see a wound that was bleeding. From what I could see it looked like her collarbone was broken. 

"Did he do that to you?" I softly asked, and she responded with another nod. I took a deep breath, trying desperately to stay calm in front of her, and softly touched her cheek. I could feel her relaxing into my touch. "I'm gonna take you to the hospital okay? We need to get that collarbone checked out. What's your name butterfly?" I asked.

"Lena." she managed to get out. I softly smiled. "Hi Lena, I'm Jude. I'm going to help you okay? But first, we need to get out of here as fast as we can before that jackass comes back. Can you stand up?" 

I saw how she tried to get up, but failed. It was probably a mixture of shock and pain that made her unable to stand up. "No beautiful it's okay, stay where you are. I'm gonna carry you to my car okay? I'll be careful." I said and she nodded. I gathered her in my arms and brought her over to my car.

I put her in the passenger seat and strapped her seatbelt, before closing the door and making my way over to my side. 

"Are you comfortable like this?" I asked her and she nodded. I started my car and drove away to the hospital. 

"Thank you Jude." she said and she gave me a light, but warm smile.
