-Chris's POV-

I sat on the concrete outside the scene,
I couldn't do anything. There was nothing I could do and that's what was killing me.
I stared out into the sunset, Elise sat next to me as the paramedic tended to her hand, wrapping it up in gauze.
Hannah's head rested on her lap as she stared at the ground weakly.
We never said a word to each other.
We were in shock more than anything.
I saw a car pull up, and out came vinny, giving us all a sorrowful look,
He helped me up and wrapped his arm around me giving me a brotherly hug.
"I'll run you home? Yeah?" He said
"Yeah, uh thanks" I said quietly.

---

The drive home was silent. I moved my hand across the seat and held Elise's hand tightly,
Her head slowly turned to me, her eyes were full of despair as she tried to prevent tears falling down her cheeks.
I flinched to the sound of my phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"Chris?!"
"Mom, it's okay, we've got her back"
"Well I'll come right away!"
I looked over at them both, Hannah especially.
"Uhm, no mom, we'll take care of her, okay, I think she needs to rest up okay?"
"Tell my baby I love her"
"I will mom, she knows, listen I'm not really in the mood for- in fact non of us are in the mood for talking at the moment so I'll drop her off tomorrow okay, take things slow"
"Okay Christopher, at least I can sleep tonight knowing she's safe with you"
"I'll make sure no harm will come her way"
I hung up at that.
---
We got to the house,
"Thankyou vinny, I'm sorry if I ruined your night"
"Just keep positive Chris, you had a tough deal back there"
"Nothing compared t what Hannah and Elise has seen tonight" I sighed looking behind me as elise and Hannah both had their arms around each other, limping up to the house.
"Well if you need any help you know where to call"
"Thanks vinny, I think I need space at the moment. I haven't spoken to Elise yet and I just-
"Don't stress, promise me that"
"I'll try not to"

---

"I'm gonna h-help Hannah get washed up," said Elise tiredly.
"Is there anything I can do?"
"Keep me sane"
They both headed upstairs.

-Elise's POV-

I ran a hot bath, and undressed what seemed like a corpse.
Her ribs poking out of her chest from not eating in weeks.
Bruises, scratches and scarves across her soft skin which was now so damaged and full of unfortunate memories.
"Right, let me help you up, just like that there we go" I said helping her stand,
Her knees shaking like a dog as I helped her in the stub.
She let out a quiet sigh as the water hit her skin.
"I am full of sin" she whispered.
"No, he was, you are pure I can assure you"
"How are you so sure?"
"I was like you"
Our conversation ended pretty much at that.
I helped her out of the tub,
She sat on the seat as I helped dry her off.
I looked down at her legs, the inside of her thighs black and blue.
I looked away as shivers down my spine crawled under my skin.
It couldn't be.
Not little Hannah.
I tucked her in bed and kissed her forehead,
I sat on the end of the bed.
"Thankyou" she whispered.
"I've got you"

I walked back into Chris's room, him tensely getting changed in front of his tall mirror.
I rubbed my hand across his bare back, massaging it gently.
He turned around.
"I should be really giving you one" he said brining me into a warm embrace,
My cold cheeks, red raw from the cold wind, soothed against his warm chest.
"I'm scared for her" I said quietly,
"Aren't we all"
"I didn't mean for this-
"Shh let's talk about it another time okay? You need sleep and time to recover.
I nodded taking off my shirt and jeans and pulling over a hoodie,
Chris patted a spot next to him and I got into the warmth,
He kissed the top of my head.
"Are you hurting anywhere?"
"Every joint in my body feels like their gonna collapse"
"You scared the shit out of me" said Chris as I rested my head on his chest.
I wrapped my arms around his waist as I felt safer by doing so.
"You won't leave me again right?" Chris said.
"Of course not"
