Tara P.O.V

The rest of my day went by without any problems. At lunch I didn't tell Tay that I was going out on a date with Ryan because she would have a flip attack.

I got home, threw my bag onto the counter and jogged up to my room, I didn't want to be late for my date.

I went to my closet and looked for something to wear. He said something 'causal' but I didn't want to be too underdressed, so I choose my favourite grey skinny jeans, and my red lace top. I took off all my makeup and reapplied it the way Ryan likes.

I applied my two layers of foundation, one liquid and one powdered. Then I apply my red eye shadow, a think line of eyeliner, a double coat of mascara and finally my deep red lipstick.

"Well at least Ryan will like it." I sighed to myself. Ryan always wants me to wear my makeup in a specific way because he says it makes me look so beautiful, and I only want to make him happy.

I looked at the clock. It was almost four. I had just enough time to brush out my hair and grab my purse before I heard the doorbell ring. I opened the door and saw Ryan standing there with a goofy smile on his face.

"Hey Ryan! You look awful happy!" I smirk and shut the door behind me.

"Only because I get to take out such a beautiful girl. Now come on, dinner awaits!" He lead me to is black convertible and we got in. We drove about ten minutes before pulling into a quaint little restaurant.

"Awe its so cute!"

"I knew you would like it." He smiled and took my hand leading me inside where we took our reserved seats. "I already have our orders ready so there's no need to worry love." I smiled at him. He can be really sweet when he wants to. It is a side I don't get to see very often but when I do I savour every moment. We waited about five minutes for our appetizer which was two garden salads.

"It's looks really good!" He smiles and we both dig in. As we finish they bring us our main courses. Placed before us was two lemon roasted fish dinners. "Uh Ryan... I'm allergic to fish..." He sighs.

"Excuse me sir, can I get a different order for my girlfriend, she's allergic to fish." He nodded. "She'll take a oven roasted herb chicken special." The waiter left and returned moments later.

"Sorry about that Madame. Have a pleasant evening."

"It's no problem, thank you sir." I said. After our meal was finished we got back into the car and started driving back to his house. "Sorry about the fish mishap. I thought I told you I was allergic before but I guess not, its my fault."

"Well you should have remembered. I can't be expected to know every little thing about you." He spoke back. Okay he was starting to get a little moody and that is not a good thing.

It's staring the way it usually did. He would act kind and sweet, then I would screw up. He tried to be understanding but his temper usually gets the better of him.

We were silent the rest of the way there. When we got up to his flat I placed my purse on the counter, kicked off my shoes, and sat on the couch.

"So what are we doing the rest of the evening." I asked casually.

"I don't know." He sounded pissy.

"Are you alright love?" I ask calmly as he walks into the living room.

"YES! Would you just shut the fuck up for once." I instantly closed my mouth.

He was close to his breaking point and I did not need to be hurt again. I knew I had to get out of there. I kept thinking over things in my head and periodically glancing at the front door. Unfortunately Ryan noticed.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING! YOU AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE!" He grabbed onto my arm and I flinched back.

"Ryan..."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" He slapped me. Tears started and I did my best not to make a sound, but I couldn't. "IS IT TOO MUCH TO FUCKING ASK FOR YOU TO BE QUITE!"

He started hitting me and throwing me into things. I felt a blow to my stomach and face. There was going to be major bruising there tomorrow. I tried to get away but it was hard.

I pulled and pulled but couldn't get away. I felt pain in my arm and both legs. My stomach I couldn't even feel because of all the punches it swallowed. I wouldn't be surprised if I had internal bleeding.

He finally lost his grip and I bolted. I grabbed my purse and shoes and ran to the elevator. Halfway down the hall I heard him yell.

"THIS ISN'T FUCKING OVER!" As soon as I got in the elevator I put on my shoes and took out my phone. It was at least an hours walk home and I didn't want to do that.

I weighted my options. I could either call Tay and she would say I told you so or yell at me for even considering taking him back and blah blah blah. Or I could walk home in peace.

I'll take the peace please.

It wasn't dark out thank god because if it had been I wouldn't have been walking. I walked down the main road and then decided to take a shortcut through a side street. I walked but it was too eerie and quite.

I could feel wind howl down the alleys. I was starting to scare myself. I've read so any things about girls getting raped or kidnapped, I don't want that to ever be me.

I kept looking behind me to make sure I wasn't being creeped. I was almost back onto the next main street when I saw something. I looked down the alley and saw someone.

The person was curled into a ball, obviously in pain, and I saw blood. Lots of blood. I quickly pull out my phone and dialled the emergency number.

"Hello what is your emergency?"

"Uh there is someone hurt laying in an alley. The look like they're in pain and bleeding a lot." I told her where we were and she told me help was on the way. I jogged over to the person and looked.

It was a guy, he looked about my age. He had black hair, which was poorly dyed because you can see the dark brown roots and spots of blonde which were obviously from the last time he dyed.

I heard the sirens coming. I sprinted to the street and directed them to his location.

"Do you know this man?" A cop asked me.

"N.. No I just found him like this." I responded.

"Would you mind if we ask you some questions?"

"Not at all.."

"What is your name?" Was the first question.

"Tara Allen"

"Reason for being here?"

"I was walking home. I didn't see anything. Just him laying there." He wrote a few notes.

"How did you get that cut on your arm and bruising on your face?" I looked at my arm. I didn't even release I was bleeding, I was too upset.

"I.. I uhh... I fell." He looked at me questionably.

"Okay. I would recommend you go to the hospital and get that looked after, I'm sure the paramedics wouldn't mind giving you a lift." I was about to argue but then I thought. What's the point? I nodded slightly and climbed in.
