(Tyler's P.O.V)

I woke up to Josh's phone ringing, and him groaning loudly, I looked at the clock, 3:12 AM
"Josh, answer the damn thing" I grunted
"Uhhhhhggg" he replied,
It was an unknown number, but he picked up, "Hello?" he said groggily
"Y/N?! What happened? What's wrong?"
"okay, of course, where are you?"
Josh breathed, panic clear in his voice.
I sat upright quickly, to see him putting on a t-shirt with his phone in his other hand.
"OK stay there we will be there in a minute" and he hung up.
"what's happening?" I asked
"Grab some of my extra clothes, and grab my keys we have to go." I didn't ask any more questions, I got dressed quickly and we left.

"DUDE slow down" I complained
"DUDE HOLY FUCK"
"JOSH your gonna kill us, stop driving so fast."
"What's happening?" I asked him again.

there was a long silence

"Y/N, she's in trouble, I could barely hear her, she was crying..."
he took a deep breath.
"something isn't right and I think she's hurt."
I tried my best to calm him down.
We stopped in the middle of a dark empty street, It was raining buckets. I grabbed Josh's extra clothes and a towel from the back and I jumped out of the car, I saw a small figure laying on the side walk, She only had under garments on.
it was Y/N.
she was covered in bruises and cuts,
so many cuts. Fresh and old.
on her arms, legs, stomach.
Mufasa was sitting beside her
Sniffing her hair.
Josh picked her up and carried her back to the car, We helped her get dressed. We wrapped her in a towel and she laid her head on my lap in the back seat as Josh drove us back to the hotel.

We obviously brought the cat. Even though the hotel wouldn't allow it.

Her breathing was short and ragged.
Her eyes were barely open. She was ice cold.
I just pet her hair and kept telling her she was okay, and she was safe now.

We got back into the hotel and Y/N was sitting on a couch at the far end of the room.
She had her knees pulled up to her chest, she wasn't making eye contact with us.
Josh and I sat on the floor cross legged, in front of her, she didn't say anything and neither did we.

Mufasa yelled at us all.

she opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out, she closed her mouth again and squeezed her eyes shut, Tears came pouring out.
Josh jumped to his feet and hugged her to him, I ran and got more tissues and a glass of water. She was a shaking mess. After a good 20 minutes of crying she finally began to explain what happened.

After she was finished Josh and I stared at her in shock, our mouths hanging open.
"You're not going back there." Josh confirmed. "Yeah, It's not safe there, you can stay with us." I added.
"No I'll be okay, honestly, I'll go back and get my wallet and maybe stay in a hotel-" she tried to say
"No." Josh and I both cut her off.
"You can stay with me at my place, we will go with you and get your things tomorrow." Josh said sternly.
She tried again, saying that "you don't have to deal with my problems, I'll honestly be okay, thankyou."
Josh stoop up and pulled her up too, we had a big, long group hug.
"You're not going back there by yourself, you can stay with us." I said breaking the silence, Josh nodded. "You need sleep." he added.
She refused to take either of our beds after many attempts and wouldn't budge from sleeping on the couch.

(Josh's P.O.V)

I laid awake, re-assessing what just happened. I looked over and saw a faint dark outline of Y/N shaking on the couch. "Y/N?" I whispered. She looked up. I patted my bed and she slowly tried to stand, but collapsed again. I ran over and helped her up and into the bed, I went to lay on the couch but she pulled me back and patted the bed space next to her. "Is that okay?" I asked her, she nodded. I got in beside her.
There was lots of thunder and lightening ( very very frightening!. Queen? No? Okay.) a loud thunder crack sent Y/N jumping into the air. I pulled her closer to me. She was shaking in fear, "Hey shh it's going to be okay, you're safe now." I told her quietly. She just looked up at me, she looked so sad and scared... Innocent.
I hugged her to me and quietly hummed "Lovely" I felt her relax and her heart rate slow. "Thankyou... for everything." she whispered. And with that she fell asleep on me for the second time this week.
