...........Luke's POV...........

I can't believe what I'm looking at. My Ella, the toughest girl I know is batterd, cut and bruised. Barely standing up, and only in her boots and undergarments.
I pull her into a huge hug. Ella what, what happened to you! All she does is sob into me harder. crying.
I look at the man that had brought her to me. Please, tell me what happened to her, Who did this!
Then the old man started to tell me how he found her.Ella sobbing in my arms. I hold her tight as if she was about to disappear at any moment. No one will ever hurt her again as long as I'm around.

Baby, no one will ever hurt you again. I promise.

She manages a small nod,and starts sobbing into my chest again. I rock her slightly back and forth trying to comfort her as much as possible. I look at the old man as he scratches the back of his head.

Umm, Luke I should probably get going, my wife's probably scared sick.

Oh, I-it's ok I need to get her cleaned up and back to bed. I reply to him. He gives me a small nod and walks out to his truck and pulls off. I walk her to the bathroom and set her on the counter top. She continues to sob but not as much. She has a deep cut on her stomach, well I think it's her deepest cut on her body. It had to be made by a knife. I walk over to the cabinet that has all the washcloths in it. I wet one and hold it on her arm she lets out a small shriek from the contact of the cold water on her skin. She winces every time I move it on her skin. I make small shushing noises and repeat its ok.

I pick her up and put her in my shower. I turn it on and she wipers at the sudden contact on her skin a few tears leaking out hear and there. I wash off her naked body. And when the soap hit her cuts that's when she screamed in pain. She looks so pitiful but in her eyes I can see how broken she is. I look at the cut on her stomach and realize that it needs stitches. And the only way she's getting them is if her mom comes with us. We have been best friends since we were 5. So I know her mom pretty well so she won't blame me for this, I hope.

...............Ella's POV................

Luke is helping me get dressed so we can pick my mom up and take me to the hospital to get stitches. I don't want my mom to see me this way. I haven't seen her since Friday morning I stayed at Luke's on Friday night and I was assaulted on Saturday and now it's Sunday, yay I get to go to school looking like I was attacked by a rabid dog or something.I'm so happy, NOT.

He dresses me in some clothes I left there and we get in the car and we pull into my drive we get out and walk up to my front door.

Are you ready for this Ella, because your moms gonna flip when she sees u like this.

I'm ok Luke, don't worry. I send him a warm smile and knock on the door. A few seconds later the door opened.

Hi mommy.

I'm sorry I'm so mean for giving u a cliff hanger, crappie chapter but it's ok.
