"Dahlia? Dahlia! Wait up!"

I look around as I walk out the gates to see Beau chasing after me. I wasn't in the mood to talk to him, but I was even less in the mood to run.

"Are you okay? You left so suddenly the last time I saw you! I have been so worried!" he gasps out, grabbing my hand in the proceeding.

"Beau, I'm fine!" I try to reassure him but I find it hard to even convince myself that I'm okay. With the whole Leo thing and finding out that my relationship with Ben was all a game, today hadn't been to good.

"What are you even doing here Beau? Are you stalking me?"

A smile spreads across his face and he raises his eyebrows

"Well......" he teases "No actually, as much as you'd like that, having your own stalker. I'm here to meet my brothers. We have some things to do before it gets to dark"

"Brothers? You mean there's more than one of you?"

"To be exact, one of me, two of them. They're twins. Probably in your year to!" he gives me a playful nudge and I cant help but grin.

"Luke and Jai Brooks? You haven't heard of them? I'm surprised, they're are both faggots"

"Shut up cunt"

I look around to see two boys, about the same age as me. One had thick curly brown hair, the other had straight. The brown haired one had a metal ring through his lip that reflected the light off. The other had a piercing in his eyebrow. Both had pierced ears and both were wearing Penola uniform.

"That's Luke" Beau laughs, pointing at the boy with the lip ring

"And that's Jye" he points at the other one.

"Fuck you Bew, its Jai, not Jye" Jai replies, giving Beau a playful punch on the arm then gives me a smile.

"Dahlia, right?" he asks swinging his arm over Luke's shoulder.

"How did you know?"

I look over at Beau wishing they would both be quiet.

"Oh um...well..you haven't heard?" he eyes me up and down and Beau shakes his head. Jai cups his hands putting them to Beaus ear. Despite him trying to whisper I heard him mention my name, 'stepdad' and 'sex'. My stomach churns as Beau pulls away frowning, his mouth open. I didn't want to listen.

"Is that......true Dahlia?" his voice is full of disappointment and I was afraid to look at him.

"Beau...." my voice cracks into a whisper

"You d....dont understand...it wasn't like that"

"Why didn't you tell me Dahlia?"

"I tried to Beau, I swear I did, but the words just wouldn't come out"

I look up at him but regret it when I see his eyes glossy with tears.

"I could of helped you" he whispers in my ear, his breath tickling my neck.

"H...h...helped?"

"Yes! Dahlia, I would do anything to help you! To know that your stepdad is r...r....doing that to you!"

He knew. Jai had told him the truth and now I was going to run because that's the only thing I knew.

"Dahlia!!!!" He shouts after me "You cant run from me your whole life!"

He was right. I couldn't, but I was going do so until I knew what else to do...

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"Hi, is Dahlia in?"

I was now sat at home in the living room with my book, and never in a million years would I of expected Beau to come to my house.

"No, shes not in, goodbye" Ian tries to shut the door but I hear Beaus foot jam the door open.

"I can see her right there, I need to speak to her!" he demands. I get up out my seat and walk towards the door.

"Dahlia! We need to talk! Tell him D-"

"Go back into the living room now Dahlia" Ian growls, he brings his arm up to bar my way to the door.

"What? No! You have no right to do that! Who the f*** are you anyway!?!?"

My eyes widen and I shake my head violently at Beau but he doesn't catch on.

"I'm her stepfather!" Ian roars making Beau grit his teeth and clench his fists.

"What the f*** bro! Your no fucking stepfather! No stepfather rapes their daughter! Your a fuc-!"

Beau gets cut short by Ian's fist swinging and hitting his left cheek. I scream and try to push past Ian but he shoves me back then takes another swing, this time at Beau's stomach causing him to fall to the ground. He then jumps onto Beau's torso and sends several punches at his nose.

"IAN! STOP PLEASE! YOUR GOING TO KILL HIM! MUM! HELP MUM! IAN STOP!! SH**"

Beau had managed to wiggle out and was now throwing punches at Ian. Both of them had bust lips and a black eye was already forming on Beau. Mum comes running out of the kitchen and screams when she sees Beau punching Ian. Her hands grip his shoulders pulling him back onto the pavement. Ian pulls himself off the floor and spits out a mouthful of blood just next to Beau's head.

"Stay the f*** away from my house. Stay away from me. Stay away from my wife and dont you EVER consider seeing my daughter EVER again because if you do I will make your life a living hell, you got that you little sh**"

Beau pulls himself off the ground too, brushing off his clothes and swiping his hair back into shape. He glances at me then nods. I choke out a few tears from the state of him, knowing it was all my fault. I give a small wave as he turns around and walks back down the road.

"What the f*** do you think you doing you pile of scum?!"

I had forgotten Ian still had to deal with me.

"mmm...I.....mmmm" I mumble but he doesn't wait for a response as his had smacks across ny face. My cheek burns and I bite my lip in attempt not to cry. He brings he's hand up and I scrunch my face waiting for the next blow but it doesn't come. Instead I feel Ian's hand caress over to park he had hit. It stung under his touch but I didn't move just incase he got angry.

"Who was that Dahlia? I want you to answer honestly" he breaths smelt of alcohol making me crinkle my nose.

"Dahlia.." he warns

"Beau. Beau Brooks...."

"And how did you meet this 'Beau Brooks' hmm?"

What I really wanted to say was:

"You made my life hell. You tortured me, beat me, you sexually abuse me. You made my own mother hate me. You took me away from my dad. You made me hate my life so much I wanted to end it, so when I finally attempted to, Beau was there to save me. Beau was there for all the times you weren't"  

"I..I don't remember" I lie.

He bends down so he's inches from my face. He doesn't look convinced.

"Good girl" he whispers then leans forward forcing his lips to mine. I reluctantly kiss him back though I hated every second of it. His hands move their way round to my back unclipping the clasp on my bra. He then moves down to his belt pulling down his jeans and pants and fiddles with my sweatpants. I shut my eyes tightly as he lifts me up and brings me into the living room. I feel him bend me over one of the chairs and then....then....well you can probably guess what happened next. I let him have his way with me. It only lasted a few minutes then he got dressed again and left me lying on the sofa...

WHY DOES IAN HAVE TO BE SO HORRID! AND POOR BEAU, HE REALLY WANTED TO HELP DAHLIA AND NOW HE'S BEEN FORBIDDEN TO SEE HER:(

AND WHAT ABOUT DAHLIA HERSELF!  CHAPTER 6 COMES TOMORROW :)
