Taken

Broken Bat

Roman had to pinch himself multiple times when untying his crew. He never expected her to crumble, at least...well. Maybe he did but he just wondered how long it was going to take. "Is everyone alright?" Roman had placed ice packs, bandages, rubbing alcohol, and drinks on the coffee table. He watched as one by as they all grabbed the things they needed. "You guys weren't fucking lying" Mickey growled as Richie had placed the wet rag on his scar and rope burn. "She's fucking crazy...kinda wanna fight her again"

"You have fun with that, I'd rather kill her" Jill mumbled, she leaned into her girlfriend as she placed a bandaid on her forehead. "Is she alright at least?" Quinn had disregarded her condition in favor of learning about Jade's. "Quinn, she twisted your ankle" Ethan frowns as he wrapped up his sister's leg. "Why do you care about her right now?" "She...She didn't mean it. Did you see how tired she looked?" Ethan only sighed and shook his head. He just couldn't believe he got his ass handed to him again by the girl.

"Well Roman?" Jill huffed. "It's almost fucking Valentine's Day. That bitch has a week eviction notice if she ain't gone by then" Roman rubbed his mouth, sighing harshly. "Don't call her that. Something clicked in her..." Roman turned away, starting his walk towards the step. "Someone order pizza, use the cult card. Just make sure one pizza is pepperoni and it comes with the uh..." Roman sucks on his teeth before snapping his fingers. "Simple tea, sweet. And maybe a cake too, she's hungry"

Roman started his walk back to his room, picking back up his door and propping it on the frame. He peaked back in the bathroom to see the girl still sitting there silently. She peered up at him, her eyes slightly becoming wide. "...What took you so long?" Roman didn't respond, he simply dipped his finger in the water, circling it around. "You've been sitting in lukewarm water this entire time?" She nodded her head slowly as she moved the water across her body. "Yeah...I was waiting for you..."

"To?"

Silence again, a long heavy one. Roman only chuckled as he reached for her rag and began to pour soap onto it. He began running fresh water as He gently began washing her up. "It's okay...Im here now" She sat compliant as he ran the warm water down her back. It went like that for awhile until he begun to drain the tub, she only sat in silence as she watched the dry blood amongst other things become nothing but a past memory.

"Stand up"

She looked up at him as he held up a towel for her. She looked at her legs and the remains of the cuts that were from the many things she left. She found her balance to stand and Roman covered her in the towel. "Good girl, I have to carry you to the bed because of the glass on the floor. Okay?"

What are you doing?

Jade stared as she let the man pick her up, she was letting him do it. Her stoic face never shifted once, but Roman didn't mind. He couldn't help but smile, he did this. He broke the harsh spirited girl. "I picked you out this to wear." He sits her next to the clothes on the bed. It was a simple long white tea shirt with some varsity shorts along with some underwear. "Do you need help putting it on?"

"No." She snapped immediately, a slight sneer upon her lips. Roman chuckled as he grabbed the broom from beside the bathroom door. "Alright Princess, no need to get snappy at me. But you have to hurry," he gestures towards the door barely covering the frame. Jade huffed at placed on the shirt and panties, not caring to bother the shorts. She crawled back up in the bed to watch him straighten up. "You're a piece of work, you know that?" Roman clicked his tongue as he swept the trash into a pile.

"You broke my frames, my awards, hell you took my door off the hinges somehow" He found himself creeping over to the bed, looking at the small fragile girl on his bed. "You know, typically if anyone destroyed my things I don't think they live to see another day" Roman stood over her, his glasses resting on the bridge of his nose. Before Jade could even react, his hand grabbed her throat.

"Beg."

Fuck.

Jade grabbed onto his wrist, her airways slowly closing as his grip became tighter. She watched the darkness form in his eyes as her breathing became restricted. Her eyes fell closed as she slowly released her grip from his wrist.

"Beg, Jade."

A bright glint appeared at his eyes as he listened to her struggled words.

"Ple...ase"
