Joe wondered down the hall way to the bathroom concerned that Demi hadn't come back from going to the toilet. He tried the door but it was locked, he figured it would be. He knocked on the door gently but loud enough that Demi could hear.

"Demi are you okay!" That was when he heard words but they were muffled. "Demi what are you doing in there?"

"Shut up you bitch!" He heard then a scream from Demi, he became angry that his father would even think about doing such a thing to someone who had done nothing to him. To someone who his own step son had brought home. He begun to lock at the door aiming his foot right on the lock in attempt to break it and gain him access.

"Get off her!" He demanded using all his strength able to kick the door open. He rushed in pushing his step father off the girl who had been doing all she could to help him get away from the monster that was stood right in front of him. "Don't hurt her, hurt me."

"Joe no!" Demi demanded trying to push him away so he wouldn't be hurt, she was sure that if she came over Gary wouldn't try anything but she was surprised. She had never met such a man before. He was even worse than her own father was. Gary looked between the two of them seeing the fear in their eyes. It's what he lived for.

"Go downstairs." He spat before leaving, Joe sighed turning around to Demi wiping away the tear that had escaped her eye before leaning down brushing his lips on hers. Demi was surprised but let him close the gap kissing him back. Joe smiled through the kiss as his hands laid down on her hips pushing her against the wall a little bit. Demi moaned moving her hands up to his hair enjoying the feeling of his plump lips moving on hers. She granted him access as she begun to lick her bottom lip wrestling her tongue with his. They only pulled away when air was needed smiling at one another Demi removing her fingers from his hair.

"You can't go down there." Demi whispered.

"I have to protect you Demi, I really like you," He leaned down pecking her lips again before getting out of her grip. "I'll be fine."

Demi sighed as Joe stumbled into his bedroom, she rushed over helping him up onto the bed where he laid down a sigh releasing from his lips as his head hit the pillow. Demi was more than shocked that Dave would do such a thing when she was in the house, that he would actually beat his step son where someone else would know.

"First aid kit in the bathroom." Joe choked Demi getting up from the bed making her way into the bathroom seeing it straight away. It was already open. She sighed again picking it up making her way back into the bedroom.

"I'm so sorry Joe." Demi choked as the tears fell from her eyes, the only reason he had come over was so he could get a rest from a beating but she had just made it worse. Joe cracked a small smile lifting his shaky hand up to her face wiping away her tears.

"It's not your fault Demi." Joe whispered Demi leaning down kissing him gently before pulling away. Joe hissed with pain as Demi helped him sit up his shirt slipping over his chest. He laid back down revealing his bruised and cut torso. They were battle wounds.

"You know how much this will hurt." Demi stated as she got a antibacterial wipe out the wrapper laying the trash on the bed side table.

"I'm used to it now." Joe mumbled closing his eyes but he did hiss when the wipe came into contact with his wound. He let Demi clean his wounds though like he usually did or sometimes even his mother but she had no clue. Demi was about half way through cracking a small smile when she heard soft snores coming from Joe. When she was done she pecked his lips gently putting the trash in the bin covering his body with a blanket before leaving sneaking away from Gary before he saw her.
