Protection, Zack Merrick, All Time Low

Kimberly

I stare at Zack, admiring his sleeping face that looked younger when he was asleep, worry free. It hurt that he knew these things about Denny and that he knew the threats he had dished out. I'm tempted to kiss him for our fist kiss, but I don't, because how do I even know if he likes me back? I just snuggle more into his chest, I woke up and I was straddling him with his arms around me while he was shirtless and I was in a tank top and boxer shorts.

My phone rings, frightening me to where I accidentally roll out of Zacks bunk because it's fairly small. I'm glad it was a bottom bunk. I silence my phone and step into the kitchen area. I don't recognize the number again, so i hesitate answering, it's about seven AM.

"Kimberly Asher Gaskarth I will leak your nudes if you don't come home." Denny demands.

"You don't have any." I deny.

"I have taken them while you were sleeping, baby girl. It will ruin your brothers carreer if I do it."

"You wouldn't."

"I will if you aren't home by Saturday." He demands. "I'd take me up on the offer, they're pretty juicy and you can tell it's you by your tattoos and by Tommys name and birth to death date on your shoulder."

"Denny please, don't." I try and hold my ground, but for my brothers sake, I know I need to go.

I will end it with him in person, and I'll tell Lex that I'm just going to visit Auntie. Tour ends Friday night and after that I'll go. I'll be back before we leave for next tour in two weeks.

Friday morning

"Lex I'll be back." I explain, "don't worry."

"You have to call me, okay?" He asserts. I nod and hug him again before he lets me get onto the plane, No one else knows I'm going, and that concerns Alex, but I assured him I would be back in a week tops. I planned to actually go see my aunt to cover up my lie.

I got on the plane and hugged my knees to my chest after we took off, I also hugged the cute little wolf stuffed animal Zack had won me. I fell asleep, thankfully, knowing it will probably be the only sleep I'll get for a while if anything goes by.

I go straight to my Aunts and suprise her, she wasn't home though so I had left and mentally prepared myself to go over to break up with Denny.

I walk up and use my key to unlock the door, Denny is obviously drunk, he slams me into the wall after pulling me inside.

"I just came to break it off. Please let me go. I can't be with you anymore." I whimper.

"No you aren't. You're not leaving me." He slammed me against the wall again.

"Come on." He dragged me down the hall into the basement.

"No, please." I cried.

"Shut the fuck up." He snaps.

I whimper as he ties me to a chair, slaps me hard across the face and walks out.

He's done this before, but he didn't leave me for more than a day. He would feed me little or rape me. I hope to God its just one day.
