I heard the glasses break with the sound of a argument which should be normal by now but...I don't know why I feel something is wrong and different. Something very bad gonna happen and I can feel it..
Should I get in there and...stop the argument and help them?
"no....HOW DARE YOU!?" said my mom.
I should!
...but what if they abuse me like they always do?
There is no time to think that I should get there.
Shit...
Everything in the room is broken and covered with blood!?
WHAT THE HELL HAS BEEN HAPPENING HERE!?
Is that a girl my age curled up covered in blood and a lady!? WHAT DID THEY DO THIS TIME!? Did they kidnap people!?
"Umm...mom what is happening here...?" and I turned toward my father.
In the peripheral vision of my eyes I saw my mom going towards the girl my age...with a metal....
Noooooo!!!!
*BEEEEPPPP*BEEEPPPPP*BEEEEPPPP*BEEEEPPPPP*
"BABE!? YOU OKAY!?"
..
"I...."
"Shhhh.calm down...Let me hug you...."
Ash's POV
What the hell just happened? She was moving a lot in sleep, was she having nightmares?
"Babe!!! Babe wake up!!!"
Why she's not waking up!?
*BEEEEPPPP*BEEEPPPPP*BEEEEPPPP*BEEEEPPPPP*
Shit the alarm is too loud!!!!
"NOOOOOO!!!!!!"
SHE WOKE UP!!!
"BABE!? YOU OKAY!?" Obviously she's not she looks like she saw a ghost trying to attack her.
"I...." She's shivering...obviously scared...I should comfort her! HOW!? AHHHH?!
Maybe a hug?
"Shhhh.calm down...Let me hug you...."
I wrapped her in my arms and tried rubbing her back...it always worked. She curled up in me and hide her face in my neck and I can feel her crying...Is she okay? Maybe I should help her to open up when she feel better.
Getting away from my chest and wiping her eyes she said "I'm sorry". why is she apologising?
She removed herself from my grip and went into the shower...I really want to get in and comfort her but she locked the door. Maybe I should respect her decision to be alone for now and respect her privacy.
------15 minutes later------
I heard a knock on the door and I went to check. Ms. Collins was there in a very formal manner asking me what she should do for lunch.
"Ms. Collins, don't be too formal with me...and you can rest today I'll make the food for my bae today".
~~~~~~~~~AFTER SOME TIME~~~~~~~~~~~
I saw Carl coming down the stairs hugging her body and said the words that I never expected her to say "Can we have the talk now...if you don't mind?"
"Oh baby you don't know how I feel right now. I'm happy cuz you feel comfortable enough to trust me and tell me your past"
She gave a sad smile.
"But pup before that let's get you some food" I said while putting a plate of steak and a glass of wine in front of her.

"It started when we moved into a new city, at fist things were good except the fact that you were not with me then, my father lost his job which caused misunderstandings between parents and they started fighting often."
I nod my head while chewing the steak, indicating that I'm listening and wanting her to continue.
"Then one day he decided to move us into another city and that's when things got worse because he started going out and coming home late which made the arguments between mom and dad physical. Mother also gave up on her life ad they both started hitting me up".
WHAT THE FUCK!? HOW DARE THEY!!!
"Then the abuse continued for years until I met Alex, my neighbour. Since the moment I met her I felt a bond I didn't understand it at first but as we got close my parents found out I'm talking to people other than family and the abuse got worse because they were suspecting that I told Alex about their behaviour towards me".
Who the fuck is Alex?
"Then one day when I came back from work, I heard them arguing as usual and I decided to step in because it sounded like its getting way worse then before and I felt that its different this time...."
I stopped eating and moved my chair close to her and hugged her. "Have the wine" and I handed her the wine and helped her drink it.
"I saw Alex and her mom on the floor covered in their own blood. I couldn't believe that they did hurt them, I asked them what happened then I saw my mom going towards Alex's body holding a metal bar in her hand. I couldn't let that happen so I tried blocking her from hitting Alex but it landed on me..."
Is that why she don't remember me?
"A few days later, I woke up in a hospital and the police came in to ask me what happened and I told them that they have been abusing me for years and they attacked the neighbours and hit them up so bad and the police took the information and left. Then I got to know Alex was admitted there too and I went to see her and tried asking her why they attacked her and her mom"
What else reason there could be? They're just plain assholes. "Continue"
"I got to know cuz my father had an affair with Alex's mom and Alex is his daughter with her aka my sister...the we talked more and then Alex's relatives took care of her mother's funeral but since we both were majors we decided to leave the town and came here. Then I got into relationship with some toxic people who treated me bad just because I said I'm not ready to take the relationship to the physical stage yet".
Like that bitch who is on your tail now.
"And when I got out of it, I went to celebrate my freedom with Alex and that's the night that you found me beaten up in the road by some haters"
She went through a lot. I should have found her sooner! "So, Alex is still out there?"
