Ross P.O.V.
As I walked into the office I pulled the scarf tighter around my neck, in attempts to hide the bruises.
All the guys were already in their offices and Max and Tim were at their desks with their headphones on, editing videos.
I speed walk past them and into my office. I quickly, but quietly, shut he door and lock it. I pull the blinds down on both windows, so no one can see in my office and the sun stays out.
I rest my head on my arms
'God I'm so tired' I haven't had a good nights sleep in about a month. I can barely keep my eyes open.
Thanks to Blake, he always yells and hits me. Last night was the worst.
I accidentally let out a loud whimper at the thought and pulled myself tighter into a ball. The tears slowly made there way down my cheeks. I tried to stop them, but it was useless, they just came down faster. I placed my glasses on the floor beside me and leaned my head back against the door. Putin my arm up, hiding my eyes in my elbow and silently sobbing.
There was only one person I wanted at this moment, but I knew he would never care about me. I mean who would care about a me? Besides I'm sure Max is straight.
I didn't even notice when I began shaking and my sobs became louder, until I heard someone bang on my door.
" Ross?! Are you ok?! Let me in!" Max yelled, as he kept hitting the door and wiggling the door knob.
Maybe he does care about me?
No, he is only doing it out of pity. Plus it's my videos that makes his pay.
But, maybe?
Max P.O.V.
I was just editing videos when Ross quickly walked threw the office and into his. I didn't think much of it till I saw him close the blinds.
I may be an ass, who people assume doesn't care about anyone and is to blind to see when someone is hurt. But that's the opposite. I care a lot about the guys at the office, especially Ross, and I know Ross, he ALWAYS says hi when he comes to work and he NEVER closes his blinds. So something is DEFIANTLY wrong.
I paused the video and took off my headset,gently placing them on my desk, I walked over to Ross' office. When I tried to open the door it was locked. Now I KNOW something is wrong.
I started pounding on the door after I heard sobbing coming from the other side.
" Ross?! Are you ok?! Let me in!" I yelled! Banging on the door. The sobbing stopped almost immediately, and was replaced with shuffling noises.
" Max? What's going on?" A voice asked from behind me, I turned to see Adam, Barney, Jin, and Tim standing there. I sighed,
" I don't know, somethings wrong with Ross. He won't let me in and he's crying." I said turning away from them and nocking softly on the door.
"Ross? Please let me in. Please?" I said in the kindest voice I could.
A soft click came from the door, followed by a small voice.
" ok, b-but o-only y-you." Ross said through the door. I turned the knob and walked in, closing the door and locking it behind me.
My heart sank when I looked at Ross. He was huddled in the back corner, his eyes were red and puffy from crying and he was shaking. I quickly ran over and engulfed him in a hug. He tensed, but soon relaxed. I felt his arms wrap around my waist and he buried his head into the crook of my neck. I felt his tears roll down my neck and his body began to shake more. I rubbed gentle circles on his back and whispered soothing words to him.
" Shhh, Ross I'm here, I'm here." I said, feeling his arms tighten their hold as if he was scared I would leave him. His quiet whimpers turned into loud sobs.
Who ever did this to him is gonna die! I swear I'll find them and make them pay for hurting MY narwhal.
" Ross? Can you tell me what happened?" I ask as his sobs began to quiet.
Ross P.O.V.
" Ross? Can you tell me what happened?" Max asked.
What do I say? How do i answer that question? Should I answer that question?
No! Blake would only hurt me more if I told someone.
Maybe if I told Max, he would protect me? Okay, I'm gonna tell him.
" T-Take o-o-off m-my sca-scarf." I muttered. I felt his hand slowly grab my shoulder and pull me off him. I dropped my head, not wanting to look into his eyes. I felt my scarf slowly being pulled off my neck. I heard a slight gasp, then two strong arms wrapped around me and pull me into a tight hug.
Does he really care about me? Maybe he even loves me back?
Max P.O.V.
I gasp as I see bruises around his neck. Who did this? Why would someone hurt Ross? What did he ever do to deserve this? Ross is the kindest person I know. He would never hurt someone, so why would someone want to hurt him? He doesn't deserve this. I WILL protect him from now on. I love him, even if he doesn't love me back.
I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug. I felt more tears fall onto my shirt, but I didn't care. He needs me now more than ever.
" Ross, who did this to you?" I asked, hoping that it wasn't who I think it was. If it was 'Blake' I was going to kill him. Me and Blake have been 'friends' for years and I know he has an abusive side, but even if we have been friends for a while, if he did this he was going to die.
" B-Bl-Blake." Ross shuddered.
I'm gonna kill him!
