"A Deathly Night"

8 YEARS EARLIER

JOE's P.O.V.

I got out of the car and went to the backseats and opened the car door for Blanda while I saw Troy getting out of the car and straightly walking to the bar.

It was actually obvious to me that Troy was far from a gentleman. He was always a bit boyish. Like he would act like a teenager most of the time. Drink, party, get in every girl's pants and things like that. Troy and I used to be friends. He started dating Demi. He seemed to be good guy but things started to change. Maybe it was Demi behind everything. Maybe it was not. But either way things took turn for the worse.

I still wondered why in the world Demi was still with him. Why in the world Demi didn't leave his fucking ass and find someone who would truly love her. She was made of perfection. She was beyond beautiful, inside and out. She had the purest heart anyone has ever seen. She was kind and caring. But there was the problem, she cared too much. She cared about anything and everything. She cared too much about what others had to say. She excepted the way everything treated her thinking that was the way she deserved to be. But hell no. She wasn't supposed to be treated like that. She wasn't supposed to be with Troy. She was supposed to get away and leave him. Why? Because she deserved to be treated the other way Troy treated her. She deserved to be treated like a queen. And a King would never put a hand oh his Queen.

After finding out about Demi being abused, I talked to her the next morning. She denied it over and over. She gave me the same lame excuse every single time. I couldn't just go to Troy and threaten him if Demi wasn't cooperating. She needed to admit it. But she wasn't. I'm not giving up though.

Anyway Blanda got out and I watched Demi help herself out. I sighed. It actually hurts even looking at her. She's so precious but that asshole treats her like dirt.

We walked into the bar and took our seats. Troy was no where to be seen.

It was about half an hour later. None of us had any idea of where Troy was. It's not like I cared but he should've been here at least. He was the one who wanted to come here with us in the first place.

I looked at Demi who was now only on her second drink. She wasn't drinking it though. She was just playing around with the straw.

"Umm...Joe? I gotta go! Mom needs me at the hospital" Blanda said. Her dad was in the hospital and her mom probably was calling her to go there. Blanda and me, We were just friends. Exactly like me and Demi. Except I want Demi to be more.

"Okay. I'll see you later" I kissed Blanda and sat down on my seat. Blanda said bye to Demi and left.

Neither me or Demi was drunk. The only person who was going to be drunk tonight was going to be Troy.

After a while, I went to the washroom, leaving Demi alone. I wasn't her boyfriend, so it wasn't my job to stay with her and keep her company. That was Troy's.

The night ended and Troy was super drunk. He passed out in the car while I drove Demi and him home. It was silent. Demi didn't say a single word. Her silence made me wonder what Troy would do to her if he wasn't in a right state or drunk. Worse, if her was drunk and mad. He could kill her. No one knows. He's a monster. Every man that puts his hand on a woman is a monster.

Anyway we reached home and I helped Demi put Troy in bed. It was hard but we did it eventually. For some reason Demi got distant from me since the day I found out her scars which was about a week ago. I did question her about those a few times but she just ignored or found some other excuses. She said she was happy with Troy which I highly doubt.

I left her house and went to my car which was a little away from her front door. I sat there for a couple of minutes trying to decide whether I should go to my home or to Nick's for the night. I decided I'd go to Nick's but I had to call him first. I dialled him and waited for him to pick up. It was around 2 so I knew I'd wake him up.

Nick just picked up the phone and I was about to say hello when a loud shooting sound echoed through my ears. It was loud. My heart stopped for a few seconds when I realised it came from Demi and Troy's house, the house I was in front of. I cut the phone and immediately and called 911. Then I ran to the house. The door was locked and it took me a couple of minutes to break it. Finally when I was in, Demi was holding her arm while blood was dripping out of it. Her face was stained with Tears and her eyes were horrified. I looked to the director her eyes were glued at and saw Troy pointing a gun at Demi. I jumped at Troy we had a fight.  It was about five minutes later when I heard another fire. When I looked up I say police officers pointing their guns at us. I got up and they arrested Troy and took Demi to the hospital.
