Oh my gosh! 12,700 reads!! I'm so excited. Thank you all so much for reading this. When I updated exactly seven days ago, I had around 10,700 reads. That's two thousands reads in one week. Thank you all so much. Sorry for the late update, but thanks again for reading. One more thing, should I do shout outs or dedicate chapters to people? On to the story now.

Wait, I'm gonna write Desiree's name as 'Des' sometimes. My computer tries to change the name every time I write Desiree and it's annoying. Just wanted to let you all know.

RECAP:

"You scared me, what are you doing up?" Santo asked. I shrugged, not looking up. He kneeled down in front of me.

"What's wrong?" He asked, looking up at me.

"Quan." I whispered.

"What about him?" Santo asked me.

"Remember when I dated him?" I asked. Santo's jaw clenches and he nods.

"Relax, babe. I regret dating him, I wish I would've been with you. But, um, there's some things you don't know about it." I told him. He looks up at me, waiting for me to explain.

And we continue:

"When we dated, he hit me. A lot. And he would always say mean things about me and about Kaden. He would tell me no one loved me, he said he was only dating me because he felt sorry for me. He hit me every day for the two months we were together." I told him, looking down as a few tears fell. I started remembering one of the worst beatings I received from him.

-Flashback-

"Didn't I tell you about doing that shit, dumb bitch!" Quan yelled, pulling me into the house by my hair. We were at the mall and now we are at his house.

"I'm sorry!" I yelled back, trying to keep up with him so it wouldn't hurt so bad.

"Quit acting like that, whore. I'm tired of the dumb ass excuses. Don't look at other people when WE are together." He said, picking me up by throat and pinning me to a wall.

"I wasn't. I swear." I whispered, trying to pry his hands off of my throat. I got punched in the face for that.

"Yeah, you say you're not but you're fifteen with a baby that died. Shut the hell up, stupid ass hoe." Quan said, smacking me.

"I can't breathe." I told him. His grip tightened.

"You don't deserve to breathe." He spat through clenched teeth.

When he did let me go, I collapsed on the floor. He kicked me in the stomach repeatedly and then in the face. "You don't need to have any kids, bitch. You deserve nothing but to die." He said. He spit on me then left. After that, I called Ray to come get me. And I texted Quan to break up with him, I never talked to him again.

-End Flashback-

"He did that?" Santo asked. I nod, still looking down as tears continued to fall. Santo pulled me onto his lap and hugged me. I cried into his chest.

"I'm not ever gonna hurt you." Santo whispered, kissing my head. "I'm not gonna let him touch you." He added, rocking me in his arms. "I want to kill him, but I know you don't want me to get in trouble, and I don't want to hurt you in anyway. And if I get in trouble, you'll be hurt. If I ever see him again, I swear I'm gonna kill him." Santo finished, still whispered. He pulled back and me look at him. He wiped my eyes and kissed me quickly before hugging me once again.
