Behind Closed Doors [On Hold]

In Circles

Sophie's P.O.V.
Here we was. Standing in front of us as if we had disrupted him. His face was starting to get red with anger.

You're mine. Nobody else's. I don't want to see you with anyone. I don't want you bringing anyone home to fuck.

Remembering what he said to me that one night I start to feel the anger rising up.

"What do you want?"

He looks between us and sneers, "Am I disrupting something?"

"Yes!" Me and Nathan say at the same time. I smile mentally knowing he has my back, even if I'll have to go home later to see this asshole.

My soon to be "stepfather" smirks and looks to Nathan. "Are you her boyfriend or something?"

I look at Nathan half hoping he'd say yes and half hoping he'd say no.

"I don't believe I caught your name."

He stands up and I just now notice he's taller than him. I stand with him and see a shocked look cross his face which he quickly masks with anger.

"I am her stepfather. Who are you?!"

As soon as I hear him say that I feel my anger finally boil over.

"You. Are. Not. My. Stepfather. You are nothing to me! You may be my mothers boyfriend but you do not get the right to call me your daughter!"

I advance toward him and notice people staring.

If I punch him I hope Nathan stops me before I go too far.

I feel Nathan's arm hold me back and I feel grateful that he's here to back me up. Vince (my mothers "boyfriend") smirks at us and says, "You couldn't do anything if you tried."

Those words push me over the edge and I move to punch him but then remember Nathan's arm around me. I try to take it off me but fail.

"Let go Nathan!"

Without even having to try he pulls me away towards his car. He opens the door for me and angrily I sit in the passenger seat. He shuts the door and gets in the car. From the corner of my eyes I see Nathan look at me then back to the road. I rest my head against the window and watch as the world goes by.

"Where are we going?"

I look at him and he smiles.

"You'll see when we get there."

Nathan's P.O.V.
She fell asleep a little while ago. I don't know where I'm going but I know that I need to get her away from him. The look he gave us... All I can say if looks could kill, we'd be dead right now. Well mostly me. I look over to her and still can't believe I'm with her right now.

She's in my car...

When I saw her standing there it was like the world had stopped. She looked beautiful. She still does.

I had gone there to take a picture of the sun and trees, but what I got was even more beautiful. She was standing there with a thoughtful look on her face. I couldn't help but take a picture.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when she starts to wake up. I look over to her and she looks at me.

"Where are we?"

"Uh. I don't know. I just pulled in and stopped. But trust me, I know the way back... I think."

She laughs and I laugh with her. It's funny how one thing can lead to another...
