Rosalinda's PO.V.

I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around me. I thrash around trying to clear up my vision and to get away the stranger. When I finally manage to look at him, I see Luke. He looks like he hasn't slept in months.

"Baby its ok, I'm here. It's me. Your boyfriend Luke. I'm here and I wont let anyone hurt you. I swear."

I lean in his chest and just sob. I don't to talk, all I want is to sob. I end up letting everything out - all the cries of pain, torture, built up anger, E V E R Y T H I N G.

I wake up and look around. When I see Luke, I know I'm safe. I don't know what time it is nor do I care, I just want food. I head towards the kitchen to see what I can make. There's not much here really. Vegemite, no thanks. Bread, pancake mix, apples, and sugar. Wonderful, guess I'll make pancakes. As I make pancakes, I feel a strong set of arms wrap around me. the only thing I can do is stop and tense up.

"It's okay baby, its me"

I turn around and lay my head on his chest and breathe in his muggy sent. Deep down I feel horrible, I know he's worried and I know I have to get everything out my chest, but I cant. All I can do is look at him. As if he knew what I was thinking, all he said was

"Whenever you're ready, I'm here. I'm all ears."

As he rubs my back I decide to tell him...just not right now.
