Laurence POV

Garroth has been hurting me for weeks now... I haven't told anyone because I'm scared Garroth might hurt me more. Since he started drinking he's gotten more violent.

I don't like this side of him. This isn't the Garroth I fell in love with. Where did the lovable Stutter King go? I miss my Stutter King.

I hear a door slam, I wince at the sound knowing it's Garroth. I hear his thundering footsteps come closer. Scrambling up from my bed and rushing to my closet,I hide in the clothes.

I see my door swing open through the closet door slit. "Where are you, you little piece of sh*t?!" I wince again at his harsh tone.

Garroth begins to search for me, throwing clothes and breaking things. I keep as silent as I can,hoping he gives up.

After about half an hour, Garroth leaves,stomping through the mess he made while looking for me. I grab my phone out of my pocket and call Aphmau, she might be busy with Aaron though.

Thankfully Aphmau answers the phone. "Hey Laurence." I take a deep breath before speaking. "Hey Aph." I wince at the sound of my own voice,ragged and dull from lack of use.

"Everything alright?" I contemplate on saying yes but decide to tell her the truth. "No, nothing is alright. I'm hiding in my closet right now from Garroth. He's... Drunk."

I say to her through the phone. I hear silence before what sounds like wind then faint talking. After a few short minutes Aphmau finally responds. "What is he doing exactly to scare you?"

I take a deep breath again, this time though it was shaky. "Garroth is... Abusing me." The second I finish my sentence, Aphmau says something frantically.

"Aaron, call the cops!" I freeze up. "No Aph don't!" "No! I'm not stopping and letting my friend be in an abusive relationship!! Laurence the cops will be there soon to get Garroth. Stay there til they arrive." Aphmau hangs up.

I sigh, knowing I've lost this argument. Soon enough sirens start to be heard in the distance. They get closer as the police cars pull up in front of my house...our house.

I begin to tear up,hearing the front door be kicked open. I hear Garroth yelling as he is apprehended.

A police officer makes his way into my room, looking around at the carnage Garroth had made. I open the door of my closet a bit to get out. The police officer notices me and walks over, helping me out.

The officer, after seeing my wounds, sends me out to the paramedics. As I walk out of my house I see my friends flood from their houses to see what happened.

Its only seconds after they see my wounds that they are hugging me, comforting me and telling me things will get better. I cry into the nearest person's shoulder.

I look around at all the people that are hugging me: Aphmau, Aaron, Dante, Vlyad, Travis even Zane was in the hug, and he didn't seemed forced to.

After a few minutes of hugging everyone let's me go, walking me to the paramedic's truck.

As a paramedic tends to my wounds, I glace over at a certain police car, containing Garroth in the back seat.

I still love him, even if he's lost his mind to alcohol.
