Chapter 45

Carrie's POV

"Carrie!" Tyler yells, and as soon as his eyes meet mine, he charges across the room, and leaps on Daniel.

Daniel pushes me away, and tries to shield himself from Tyler's attack.

"Hey, hey, man, would you just stop for a second!" Daniel pleads, trying to get away.

But Tyler is too quick, and he grabs Daniel by the shirt collar. "What in the fuck do you think you're doing?" he growls in his face.

"I'm just doing what you told me to, man," Daniel says, squirming.

I am still so shaken, I can't even understand what he's saying.

"What did you do to her?!" Tyler screams, pinning Daniel against the wall.

"Nothin, man...just chill out," Daniel lies. "She was basically throwing herself at me, and I was just trying to let her down easy."

No. Fucking. Way.

"What?!" I yell, anger welling up inside me. "He grabbed me, and wouldn't let go! He tried to make me...." I begin, but I can't even say it.

Tyler looks over at me, sees my tear streaked face, and then in a flash of an instance, his knuckles connect with Daniel's jaw, and he falls flat on his back, screeching in pain.

But Tyler is not done yet. He straddles Daniel's torso, and starts pummeling him, as hard as he can. "You fucking bastard! You dare put your fucking hands on her!"

Daniel is trying to dodge Tyler's fists, but the hits just keep coming, and there's nothing he can do to block himself.

I watch as Daniel's face is getting smashed in, and blood is flowing out of his broken nose, but it's not making me feel avenged at all. I just want this violence to stop, and for him to disappear out of my sight.

"Tyler, stop...that's enough!" I yell, and try to drag him off of Daniel, but Tyler is so filled with fury that he doesn't even hear me.

"You're going to kill him!" I scream.

Tyler finally relents, stops hitting, and rises off of Daniel, who's writhing in pain on the floor.

"Baby, are you okay?" Tyler asks me tenderly, and brings me into the fold of his secure embrace.

I nearly break down and cry again, burying my face in his chest.

"I am so, so sorry," he continues. "Please tell me you're okay," he whispers, as he kisses the top of my head.

"I will be. Just please, get him out of here," I ask, wiping at my eyes.

Tyler approaches Daniel, who's sitting up now, and coughing up blood all over the front of his shirt. He flinches when Tyler squats to sit across from him.

"I am not going to hit you," Tyler says menacingly. "but if you ever come near Carrie again, you won't just need a doctor...you'll need a coroner. Stay the fuck away from her, you got me?"

Daniel looks at Tyler, and I see that same evil look in his eyes that terrified me.

"You're a piece of work, Ty, you know that?" he says, wiping the blood from his swelling lip. "Why don't you tell your needy little girlfriend the whole truth, huh? Who was the brains behind this fucked up operation? Or is that a tad too inconvenient for you, huh?"

"What is he talking about?" I ask, not understanding a damn thing.

Tyler grips Daniel by the shirt collar again. "I specifically warned you...not to lay a single finger on her....let alone force her to do anything."
