"Ellis!" I heard a familiar voice shout up the stairs.

I let a tear fall but I didn't move.

"Ellis?" Simon said after rushing up the stairs.

He turned on the light and I closed my eyes and started letting the tears drop down my face as he was going to know what happened now.

"Lis?" He said then grabbed my shoulder turning me to face him.

He stared at my sad self, tears dripping down the side of my face, bruises around my neck and legs and a bandage around my hand.

"Who the fuck did it" he said low but aggressively.

I said nothing.

"WHO THE FUCK DID IT ELLIS!" He shouted throwing things around in anger, causing me to shield myself and flinch everytime he threw something; in fear he would purposely or accidentally hurt me.

He noticed the petrified look on my face and how I was shielding myself from him, he stopped and softened. He came closer towards me and placed a hand on my leg where the other guy did. I immediately shot up and moved away from him and out of the bed.

His face dropped and looked instantly sad, he stood up and walked closer to me. I watched his every move.

"Ellis? I'm not going to hurt you? Please just tell me what happened?" He said, heartbroken.

He backed me into the corner and his height dominated me. He placed his warm hand on my face and made me look up at him. I got trapped in his eyes, and I knew they were worried about me and cared for me. He placed a kiss on my forehead, sending shivers down my spine.

"Tell me what happened." He said softly.

I looked up at him and the thought of what happened made my face crumple up and I planted my head into his chest "he tried to rape me" I squeaked.

I knew it hit him hard because all of his muscles were frozen.

"Tell me everything" he said in a low tone and we sat on the bed.

"Well I left the club because you seemed to be in a mood with me and everyone looked like they were having so much fun, except me and its my birthday making things so much worse. So I walked down our high street and was by the pet shop looking at the pets. Next thing I know I'm being strangled by some guy and he's feeling me up, tugging at my underwear. I couldn't breathe so I barely knew what was happening until the owners of the store come out and saved me. They said that the puppy I was staring at started barking like crazy alarming them and they took out the guy. Police came and paramedics patched me up and they took me home" I said and he looked shocked and sympathetic.

He moved closer and hugged me.

"I'm never leaving you on your own" he said softly and I nuzzled into his neck.

"I guess this is the perfect time to tell you..." He said pulling away and looking at me.

"You know the money I told you to deposit for the house to be done up?" He said and I nodded.

"Well I lied, you paid for my birthday present as have I for yours..."

I looked at him funny, as if it was a joke.

"We're moving" he said and I looked shocked "to the penthouse in the halo, you paid half and I paid half. I knew you were kind of upset that I said that we were doing up the house so I thought why not move into a million pound penthouse?" He smirked and I smiled.

I jumped up at him and hugged him tightly. I was glad we were moving and that we did it fairly, he knows I hate it when we pay for big things and he pays for it all.

I hopped down the stairs to the kitchen, I really couldn't be bothered to cook today.

"Simon? Can we go to the café?" I said and he nodded.

I ran upstairs and put on a hoodie that covered up the bruising, except for the marks on my face and the bandaging on my hand. I hopped down the stairs and we walked out the house hand in hand. We made it to the café on the high street and I could see the scene from last night.

"Ellis" Simon said warning me "you're daydreaming" he said then took hold of my hand and I continued to eat.

We finished up and paid for the food and walked outside hand in hand again. Simon started to drag me towards the scene and I fell silent and stood with my muscles clenched.

He pulled me into the pet shop and i looked at the floor that had blood on it before walking in. My attention then turned to the sound of the animals playing. I noticed the puppy that saved me, the rest of his litter were playing with eachother or were still sleeping, however, he was playing with his teddy bear. I watched him carefully as he started to lose himself even more, he then looked up at me remembering my my face and sat ontop of his teddy, almost embarrassed. I let out a small giggle then watched him get picked up by the owner and handed to me, he licked my face all over causing me to smile and giggle.

"We'll take him" Simon said and handed over his card.

"What really?" I said and smiled.

"Yeah" he smirked then winked at me.

The woman looked at me and remembered me from last night.

"You okay sweetie?" She said whilst paying.

"Yeah, I'm fine now." I said smiling at the puppy.

"Well, he can't go on the ground yet, but he can go outside wrapped in a blanket because English weather is horrible." She giggled and I nodded.

She handed us some dog food and a lead. I thanked her and her husband for the pup and helping me last night. Then walked to the exit, cuddling and kissing the pup that snugged up to me.
I looked back to Simon.

"Thank you for saving my girlfriend" he said and handed them money.

I smiled at his remark then waved goodbye to the owners. I was now happy with my new car, new dog, new house and my gorgeous boyfriend.
