her.

— JUSTINS POV —

after a fight with my parents, i decided to go get some fresh air outside in the park or something.

it was around 1am, so thankfully there was no one here.

peace and quiet.

"you just don't learn."

nevermind.

who the hell would come here at 1am? other than me, i guess.

i started following the sounds. as i turned, i saw 2 figures.

one of them pushed the other and started to run away, but the other threw them to the ground.

holy shit.

next thing i know, the figure climbed on top of the other, and started delivering punches and scratches to the other.

as i slowly walked closer to them, i could make out how they looked like.

the person getting hit was someone i least expected.

ariana?

shock and anger ran through my veins as i charged up to them and slammed the boy on the ground.

i was too caught up in my anger that i began to hit him repeatedly. as he slumped down on the tree, i ran over to ariana.

"ariana, holy shit! are you okay?!" i exclaimed, but i was a second too late. she fell unconscious.

i knew it. i knew that black eye the other day wasn't an innocent accident. she was being abused, and hid it from me.

i can't think about this now. she's blacked out on the ground, possibly severely injured.

why would she try so hard to cover her problem up, though?

i decided against calling anyone she knew, since she clearly doesn't want people finding out about this.

i decided to carry her bridal style back to my castle. i'm sure the last thing she wants right now is her parents seeing her in this state. i guess i'll just have to think of an excuse.

you're lucky i found you, grande.

— ARIANAS POV —

fluttering my eyes open, i looked around.

where am i?

"thank god, you're awake." i heard a voice next to me.

i turned around, seeing justin sitting on a chair next to the bed i was in.

"w-what happened?" i mumbled, looking at my hands.

there were bruises and scratches all around them.

suddenly, all the events of yesterday came back to me.

'you're going on another date with wenble's prince.'

'you just don't learn.'

'ariana, what the fuck?! are you okay?!'

"i happened to stumble upon you and that guy beating you up. you're lucky i found you, or the injuries would've been far worse." he spoke, leaning back in the chair.
