I slowly blink, my head pounding and my eyes heavy as I open them. "Finally, you're awake, I see. You've been out for about ten minutes now," Aero's voice makes my ears ring.

A breeze hits me, and I shiver violently. Finally realizing I'm completely naked and tied to my bed again. The rope thicker this time while Aero sits on my dresser. He watches me intently.

"Why the fuck are you doing this?" I scream at him. The wind from my bedroom window being open hits me again.

"I love you," he smiles.

"Leave me the fuck alone!" I cry. Blood runs down parts of my body slowly.

I cry as he giggles like a kid. He loved the image of my blood running down my body like this. He would only fuck me if he could cut me. At first I didn't care, it was fun until he turned it into something so much more. He turned it into torture and I began to hate it.

We were kids then. Only being sixteen when we got together and the shit started. We dated until we were eighteen when he went to prison.

"Please, Aero, just leave me alone!" I cry.

He walks up to me and grips me with a bruising force. "Only after I fuck you! Only I get to fuck you! You are mine, got it?" He says while his hand now grips my throat.

I sob before nodding slowly. Once he was gone it would be over. I would be alone again and away from him.

I cry as he unties me from the bar. He forces me against the bed and reties my hands to the bar of the headboard. My naked body shivers as goosebumps rise on my skin.

He undresses himself quickly before climbing on top of me. A sob leaves my lips before he forces himself inside of me. Pain radiates throughout my body as I continue to sob loudly.

Aero moans as he thrusts roughly. His dark hair rubs against my neck while he bites into my shoulder.

He finishes quickly, probably because he's been in prison for years.

Once he climbs off of me, he unties me. "Baby, call me soon, ok?" He smiles before kissing my lips.

He redressed himself before I heard the front door close. Violent sobs leave my lips as I kick and scream against my mattress. "Fuck you!" I scream into the air as my face is covered in blood and tears.

My phone rings beside me, causing me to jump in fear. Fear of Julie calling me right now.

I look to see Liam's name on my screen. "Hello?" I sniffle, trying to compose myself.

"Hey, you okay? You sound... weird," he says.

A sob leaves my lips. I push my head into my pillow, trying to suppress it.

"Love, what's wrong?" His tone sounded worried and sincere as he spoke.

"I'm okay, Liam. Just a rough night," my voice breaks. I still myself, trying to stop the crying.

"Come on, love. Talk to me, please? I can hear you crying," he says softly.

I couldn't hold it anymore. The violent sobs leave my lips loudly. I pushed my head into the pillow again as he spoke softly, saying sweet nothings into the phone. I couldn't comprehend what he was saying until I stopped crying.

"Please, I need you!" I sob quietly.

"Fuck, love. I'm on my way! I'll stay on the phone, ok? Text me the address!" He says before I hear shuffling.

I text him my address quickly before pulling my sweats back onto my body. He's seen me naked, but right now I feel disgusting and broken.

I hear the sound of his bike starting and him speeding. He's probably going well over a hundred miles per hour. Less than ten minutes pass before I hear knocking at my front door.

Grabbing a blanket from my bed, I wrap it around my body before opening the door. His face drops the second the door opens. I'm not sure how bad I look, but by the look of his face, it isn't good. "Fuck, Raelynn!" He says before pulling me into a tight embrace.

The door closes as I collapse into his arms. My blanket slips from my hands, and tears stream down my face again. He tightens his arms around me as he holds my head against his bare chest.

"Raelynn, who did this to you?" He whispers against my head.

I shake my head against his tattooed skin. Tears fall against his chest as he holds me. He picks me up, grabbing the blanket as he does and takes me into my bedroom.

Liam sits on the bed and rocks us back and forth. "Love, I need some sort of information. You look like you've been through hell and back! I just saw you a few hours ago, and everything was okay!" He says softly.

"My ex. He got out of prison! He saw me at the concert and he showed up here. I thought it was Juliette at first. He..." I couldn't say it. I couldn't tell Liam what had happened before he called. "He beat me up."

"Raelynn, baby," he says softly against my head. "Let's get you cleaned up, ok?"

I nod against him, and he carries me to the bathroom. I stand and stare at myself in the mirror. My face was cut open and bloody. My neck and shoulder had bite marks.

Allowing the blanket to drop, I let a sob leave my lips. My chest was covered in dry blood. My ribs were bruised, and a few cuts scatter along them. A cut glides across the side of my stomach. "It's deep. You might need stitches or some butterfly stitches."

I nod before looking at my wrists. The rope burns and bruises wrap around both wrists. A faint bruise covers my neck where he held me.

Liam had started a bath for me. I undress and step in slowly. He goes to the kitchen and comes back with a plastic cup. He uses it and gets my hair wet for me.

I grab a washcloth and soak it in the water. Liam helps me clean the blood from my face and chest. "I should have made sure you got home safe," he says softly. "I thought about calling earlier, but you didn't want anything to do with me, so I didn't."

"I'm sorry. I was angry at you. You fucked me then disappeared after telling me you wouldn't do that," I say as I run a hand over my hair.

"Don't you dare be sorry! You didn't do a damn thing wrong!"
