Not All Heroes Sing (Tony Perry Love Story)

*Chapter 14*

[Avie's POV]

I ran 8 blocks to my house, hoping Tony wouldn't follow me.

He can't save me from what's going to come for me.

I make it up the steps of the porch and before I can even open the door, it slams open and someone has hold of my hair and drags me inside.

I gritted my teeth as I was dragged inside and thrown to the ground.

"You little worthless bitch!!! Why didn't you wake us up, or come home?!?!?!!?" James roared.

"I'm sorry!!!!!" I cried.

"That's not good enough!!!!!! Now, go upstairs and don't even think about coming down for dinner, you fat piece of shit!!!!!" he shouted, punching me in the stomach as I got up, making me smash my head against the hallway mirror.

I make my way upstairs quietly crying.

"And while you're there, why not just kill yourself?!?!! You're too fat and ugly and useless, no wonder your parents killed themselves," he sneered.

That's when I stopped.

"What did you just say??" I said, getting mad.

"You heard me," he said.

Then, I did something I never thought I'd do.

I attacked him.

I was able to punch him with all my strength in the nose, feeling the crunch on my fist as it made impact, before he attacked me.

Punching, kicking, and going ballistic on me, then grabbing a knife and holding it against my cheek before slicing my cheek, then another down my leg.

I screamed as he kicked my chest and kneeled over me.

"Don't you dare do that again," he sneered as he stabbed the knife in my bad hand, making me scream.

He then leaves the house and leaves me there, bleeding and crying.

I struggle to stand up to try and heal myself the best I can.

I ragged myself up the stairs and locked myself in my room when suddenly I felt dizzy and collapsed to my knees.

What's happening??

I struggled to at least get to my bed, but only ended up gripping to my sheets on the side. I couldn't breathe.

I then knew what was going on.

I haven't eaten in weeks. I'm dehydrating and loosing the strength to even stay awake.

"T-Tony...." I gasped as I felt myself become limp.

This has happened before, but what if I don't wake up this time??

You did this to yourself, you stupid worthless fat freak. You deserve this.

"I won't listen again. I won't listen to anything you say," I said in a raspy whisper.

Truth hurts, doesn't it, bitch?? Well, at least Tony will be happy with his depressed self when you die. Way to go, big fan!! And you said you cared about him. BULL SHIT!!!

"I..... I-I'm sorry, T-T-Tony," I said as the world became black.

[Tony's POV]

I couldn't stop worrying.

I grabbed my car keys and called Macy, since Vic gave me her phone.

She gave me the address and I sped towards her house, Mike with me.

I had to tell him and Jaime everything, since we didn't tell them before.

No car was parked but a light was on.

I climbed out along with Mike and found the door open.

"Avie!!!" I called out as we saw the house downstairs was empty.

"Avie, you here?!" Mike called out.

We found only one door with the light on and immediately walked in.

"AVIE!!!!!!!" I cried.

She was on the ground, bloody and injured and

I ran up and started to check for a pulse.

She had one, but it was weak.

"I'll call an ambulance," Mike said.

"Please stay with me, Avie," I begged as I held to her limp body on my lap, a tear streaming down my face.
