His breath was heavy on my neck, as I pulled and tugged to get out of his grasp.
"Don't you love me honey? Why are you pulling away?" He asked mockingly. I knew in an instant that fighting would make it worse. I let my muscles slack. He turned me to face him. Connor had an evil grin on his face as his fist connected with my gut. I bent over, throwing up the alcohol that I hadn't last night. He was outraged and started to hit me, over and over again. I winced as the floor came up to meet me. I hit the floor but he didn't stop. I bit back a cry as he started to kick my side, with so much brutality, I could only think that he would go through with his threat. He didn't stop, just kept on kicking until finally he decided I'd had enough. He lifted my broken body in bridal style. He let out a short cry, and looked down with sympathy. Or at least that's what it looked like to everyone else. To me it meant lies.
The first one to come running was Charlie. He lept over drunken bodies. His first instinct came, punching Connor straight in the nose. I heard a crunch, I almost smiled, well I would've if he hadn't dropped me. He nursed his broken nose, as I fell to the floor. I let out a cry, triggering Matt to come running. His instinct was similiar to Charlie's, he struck out, nailing Connor one in the eye.
Charlie crouched by me, holding my head in his lap. He stroked my hair.
"Did he do this?" He asked softly. I shook my head, unable to lie to him. Outloud at least. "Then who? Who could ever hurt you?" He whispered, running his fingers through my hair, staring at me with a kindness that I never would've expected from anyone, let alone him. His eyes traced my body, carefully touching each bruise and cut. His fingers crossed my chest, running his hand over my ribs. A burst of pain bloomed and spread through out my body. I gasped in pain, shuddering. He held me close, whispering curses to himself. He looked up, never letting go. "Danny! 911!" He called. Someone rushed by grabbing Charlie's phone, which he must've been holding up. They pushed in the necessary buttons.
"Hello? This is Daniel Rose Mureillo, my friend was beaten up, and I think she's seriously hurt." He said, waiting calmly, then pressing end. "They'll be here in 30." He said calmly.
"THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!" Charlie screamed. He lifted me up, ignoring my protests.
"No, no, no!" I shouted as he placed me in the back seat. He got in front and was about to drive off when Danny stopped him, jumping in front of the car.
"ROSE, IF YOU DON'T MOVE, SO HELP ME GOD, I WILL RUN OVER YOU!!!" He shouted. Danny shook his head, then bolted to the passenger side, diving in. Matt opened the back door, sitting beside me, placing my head on his lap in a similiar way to how Charlie had.
"Mattyz..." I coughed out, he just shushed me, then stroked my hair. What's up with them and my hair!?! It was shoulder length, black and pin straight, with the ends dyed white. Nothing special, as I pondered that, Charlie and Daniel were arguing.
"Charlie, calm down, we've only known her a few hours. It's not your fault." He said. Godammit! How did he manage to be so caring towards someone who'd been beating the shit out of him not even an hour ago?
"It doesn't matter if it's only been a day. I.... need her to be okay." He gasped, exasperated.
Danny nodded, "I understand, but-"
"No Danny, you don't understand. I need her to be okay." He said, stressing out. Danny nodded sympatheticly.
"Charlie..." Mattyz started, but stopped himself.
"Go on." He said.
"She's really pale, and... oh god Charlie!" He yelled shaking me. I didn't understand why they were freaking I was okay. Sure my vision was blurring but that's normal... Right? My sight began to fade, as Charlie lurched to the side. He leaned over the seat, shaking me, and if I didn't know better, I'd say he was crying.
"What happening!?!" Danny called confused and freaking out.
"She's passing out!" Matt shook me. "Lexi! Lexi! Stay awake! Talk to me!" Mattyz was freaking out, but soon I couldn't hear him. Peace fell over me in a cloak of black.
