"No problem El" I say, giving her a smile.

She returns the smile, and we start walking back down to the ER to meet the boys.

Piper's POV 

"Hey" I say to Noah.

"Hi" he says turning around and smiling at me. 

"Ready to go?" he asks putting his hand on my shoulder.

I flinch, the pain getting worse. Ever since everything happened my shoulder had hurt, but right now it is awful.

"Woah, are you okay?" he asks me, worry lacing the words.

"Yeah, my shoulder is killing me but I just need to put some ice on it." I say.

"Okay, lets get back to your house and I will make sure you get taken care of" he says.

"Okay" I say.

"Ready?" Ellis asks, her and Daniel coming up behind us.

"Mhm" Noah and I say.

"Okay, lets go" I say.

We all head out to the car, Noah and I taking the front, him driving me in the passenger side. Ellis and Daniel taking the back. We make our way to the house, not really saying anything to one another.

"I am gonna go straight to bed, I am just tired." Ellis says, putting everything down on the counter.

"Okay, I will come with you" Daniel says.

She says 'okay' and they head to their bedrooms.

"I am gonna get your ice, okay?" he tells me.

I nod my head, but that action hurts. I let out a groan, and that must catch his attention, because he quickly grabs the ice pack and rushes over to me.

"Here" he says, putting the ice pack on my shoulder.

"I am sorry about this. It just hurts" I say.

"Don't be sorry, it isn't your fault." he says to me.

"It is though. I brought this onto my self, nobody else caused this to happen but me." I say, taking a seat on the couch.

"It wasn't your fault, you where scared there is nothing you can do to change that. He could have moved on, but he is still on this, and that is his fault, not yours" he says to me.

He takes a seat next to me and grabs my hand.

"I will be here always to protect you from him-" 

"But you shouldn't have to be." I cut him off. "This isn't something you should have to live with, always worrying about me." 

"But I want to do that, don't you understand. I love you Piper, and I am not gonna let some low life take the life out of you. There are so many people who are here for you, and I will not leave your side till this things done and over with. Even after that I will be by your side, because I love you." he says.

I stare at him, not knowing what to say.

"I love you too" is all I can think to say.

He smiles at me, and I lay my head on his shoulder. It hurts, but it is worth it in the end because I feel a sense of comfort out of it. 

"I will always be here for you, even when it doesn't seem like it" he whispers to me.

"Thank you" I whisper back.

He kisses the top of my head, and we just sit there, together. I doze off, and the next thing I know I am in my bed and the light is shining through the window. I look over to my side and see the bed is empty, but it has definitely been slept on.

I let out a yawn, and get up. I put my slippers and robe on, heading out to the kitchen.

"How is she feeling?" I hear Daniel ask.

"Best she can be, they broke them. And I feel awful because there is nothing I can do to help her. She thinks so low of herself, and I just want to shake her, but hug her at the same time. I want to keep her safe from them, but I just don't know how to do that." Noah says.

"I get that. I want nothing more than Ellis to be safe, as well as Piper, but she just seems to think it's her fault, and that I shouldn't stick around to deal with her." Daniel says.

"Piper told me pretty much the same thing last night, but I told her I will be there for her whenever she needs me." Noah says. 

"Me too, me too" Daniel says. 

I decide to stop listening into their conversation, so I step out into the kitchen. Noah spots me right away, and comes over to me.

"Hey hows the shoulder?" he asks me, gently putting his hand on top of it.

"Good, better at least" I say, letting out a small smile.

"Good to hear that, we made breakfast." he says, pointing to the table.

"It smells good" I say.

"Yeah it does" Ellis says, coming out from the hallway.

"Lets dig in then, because I am actually starving!" Daniel says.

We laugh then head over to the table.

"Thank you guys." I say, smiling at them.

"The pleasure is all ours" Noah says, grabbing ahold of my hand and giving it a squeeze.

We all smile then dig into the meal that they made.

Sorry that this is starting to suck... I am starting to get writers block and I don't know what to do to continue on this story.
