A Pentagon of Problems (COMPLETED)

Chapter 18, Please

Chapter 18:

Hope's POV (once again)

I sat down on the couch and leaned into Dante's arms.

"I didn't know what to do," I sniffed, "He came after me, he wanted-he wanted," I just couldn't say it.

"I know, I know. I'm so sorry." He rubbed my back. "You don't need to talk about it if you don't want to."

"Ok," I whispered burying my face in his shirt.

There was a knock at the door. I looked at Dante.

"I'm going to go and get that, ok? I think it's just my dad coming back from work." He said with worried eyes. He got up to get the door. I followed closely behind him.

"Hello?" Said a voice I knew all too well. Liam. I stiffened and hid behind Dante, hoping his body would conceal me.

"Yes?" Dante said with a shaking voice. "What do you want at this time of night?" He asked.

"Oh, I think you know what I want." He shoved Dante away from me, counseling my shaking body. His eyes were lit up with anger.

"How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!" Liam shouted in my face. "YOU cheater!"

"No Liam, no" I said quietly, rubbing my eyes, "It's not that please believe me!" I looked up at him, and he did not look forgiving. He kicked the door closed and shoved me up against it.

"You little cheater! You will pay!" He threw a punch at my face. I screamed. Dante stood up, now recovered from his violent shove and punched Liam in the face. Liam kicked him down, knocking him out.

"Let's go, pretty girl." He said, he took out a pocket knife.

"No," I whimpered, tears stinging at my eyes. He violently shook my body.

"You be quiet! SHUT UP!" He shout-whispered at me.

I was quiet. He, once again shoved me against the wall, forcefully taking my skirt off. I kicked him, hard right were I knew it mattered most. He doubled over, stumbling in pain. I went over to Dante and examined him while Liam was still recovering.

"You-Stupid-Girl!" Liam shouted, but I wasn't paying attention. He shoved me to the ground, a smirk playing at his lips and a knife playing in his hand.

"If you do that to me again," He slid the blade on my now bare legs, "You will pay more than this." He cut me down my leg. I whimpered. Where was Yammy!

"Please, Liam, please. I'll do anything you want if you let me help him. Please! Don't hurt me anymore." I whispered, barely wanting to be heard.

"Anything?" He said, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, please let me help him."

"Ok, but let me tie you to me." He grabbed my wrist.

"Ok. Ok." I said, recovering slowly. I had what I wanted. For now.

I slowly walked over to Dante and cradled his head in my hands. I took out an Epi-Pen, one that only I am given because I was bitten when I was young and so was Dante. He was bitten in his foot, so he is not as immune as me. I knew this would do the trick. I put the Epi-Pen in his arm and kissed his forehead. He woke up.

"What is going on here! Oh My God HOPE?!" He screamed.

"No no no, sh sh sh." I hushed him. "It's ok, I'm ok. Ok? I want you to go to my house, get help ok? Please to this for me." I begged him.

"No! I'm not leaving you here with HIM!" He shouted.

"Ok, Ok! I think you helped him enough." Liam said. "You, come with me." He said, motioning to Dante. "You, just follow along." He pointed at me. We walked out of the door into the cold evening air.
