Jayson's POV

I have the last hour off so I leave early and to check on Oli. As I stop in front of her house, I see Cam's car. What is he doing here. I walk to the front door. They are standing there by the couch. They did not notice me standing there yet.

"Oli, please. I swear I'm here to fix everything. I was stupid to have hurt you. I was stupid to have let go of the only person who loves me. I was stupid to have cheated on the only person I love. I don't know what had gotten into me. But I'm not that person anymore. I want you to trust me." He blurts out.

"What, are you seriously asking me that now. Trust you,unbelievable. Cam do you even remember what you did to me. My body still has the scars you gave me. It can never be healed. Just the way I can never forget what you did to me. And you come here expecting me to trust you. I'm still not over it. It's gonna take almost forever to get over it." She starts crying. Scars? What is she talking about.

"Oli, I want another chance. Please." He holds her hand. I can't take it anymore.

"Get your hands off her Cam" they both look at me.

"Jay, stay out of this. It's none of your business. Whatever it is it is between us. So leave." Cam snaps.

He turns to her and holds her shoulder.

"Please one chance." I can see his fingers dig into her shoulder.

"Cam you are hurting me. Please, leave. I have been nothing but sweet to you since the day you came here. You can't expect me to give you more. I can't. Please leave now" she tries to push him. Damn he's hurting her.

"I said get your freaking hands off her" I rush towards him and throw a punch to his face.

Cam falls back, he has a busted lip because of the punch. I move forward to hit him. How dare he hurt her.

"Jay, stop. Please. He's not worth it" she cries out.

" I'm sorry Oli. But I'm not giving up on you. I'm gonna show you that I have changed" Cam says and walks out after giving me one last glare.

"You fine." I hug her. She wraps her hands around my waist and cries into my shirt.

"No, I'm not" she cries out more.

"Shh.I know, It's stupid of me to even ask.But It's okay. I'm here now. Calm down Oli" I hug her tighter and stroke her hair softly.

I'm gonna protect her. No matter what, I'm not gonna let him hurt her anymore.

"Here, come with me. You need to sleep." I take her to her bedroom. She lies down and I pull the blanket over her. She slowly goes to sleep. I go and sit on the couch. I sit there thinking about her. I put my head back and close my eyes as my head is exploding with a lot of questions. Suddenly I hear her voice. She's screaming. I rush to her room.

"Please don't kill me. Please. It hurts." She shouts.

"Oli"I burst open the door.

She opens her eyes and looks around. "Blood. Cut. Knife" she stammers.

"Oli. There's no blood. What are you talking about." I look at her in confusion

"The pain. I can't take it. Please make it go away. It's unbearable" she places her head on my shoulder and cries.

I comfort her. After a while I take her down. I prepare toast and juice and give it to her. She finishes it silently. I sit on the couch near her. I want to know what she has gone through.

"Oli, take off you shirt" I stand up.

"Wait. What? No way. Why would I do that" she snaps.

"Relax, I'm not gonna kill you. I want to see the scars" I look at her.

"I guess it's better if you don't see them Jay" she looks away.

"No I want to see them." I hold out my hand. She sighs and takes my hand to stand up. She pulls her shirt slowly, I can see her feel  uncomfortably,she held it up and stopped right below her chest. I look at her bare skin. There were some scars on her stomach and back, like her skin was cut deep with a knife. He did this to her.She had to go through this torture. For what, she did not deserved this. Cam I'm gonna kill you for this. She even has nightmares. I'm damn sure it's for the torture he gave. Without speaking a word I walk out. I get into my car and drive home.

Where's Cam I shout as I barge into my house.

"Jay what's wrong?" My mom looks at me with confusion.

"Mom where the hell is Cam" I shout.

"Ana who is it" my dad walks out of his bedroom.

"Jay, what happened. Why are you shouting" he glares at me.

"Cam, get your sorry ass down here before I drag you down" I shout ignoring my parents.

"Jayson." Cam walks down the stairs.

I rush towards him and pull him by his collar.

"Why? Why did you torture her. What did she do to you to deserve that pain." I shout.

"Jay. Let me explain..." He starts but I cut him off by punching his face.

He falls down and I hit him more." Do you even know what she's going through. The pain she's going through. All you know is about yourself. All you care is about yourself. Your life. Your pleasure. You asshole. That scars you gave her. She even has nightmares because of you. Have you seen the way she shouts in her sleep. She shouts for help. She shots for someone to take her pain away. It's all because of you." I shout as I continue to hit him.

"Jayson stop this right now" my dad shouts as he tries to pull me away from Cam.

"Jay stop this. Your killing him. Jay" my mom shouts.

Suddenly someone opens the door  "Jay" I hear her voice. Oli. What is she doing here.

I stop and look at her. Her eyes are bloodshot red and puffy from all the crying. She is standing there with fear and pain in her eyes.

"Oli" I say her name, but my voice comes out soft.

She looks at me and then looks at Cam on the floor struggling. I expect her to come to me, but she walks past me and goes to Cam. She and my parents help him up and puts him on the couch.What's wrong with her. He hurt her and she's feeling sorry for him. I rush to the room and slam the door behind me. Damn her.
