*Recap*

Concern filled his voice as he looked at my lip.

Blood was pouring vigorously from my lip, spilling down my chin and onto the ground. I stop the tears as they begin to fill in my eyes, I refuse to cry in front of this perfect stranger. "Yes I am fine," I lie. "It's not as bad as usual, nothing compared to what's going to happen when I get home." I see his face turn a dark red as anger begins to boil beneath his skin. In that moment I am a little afraid, I flinch afraid he is going to hit me too. He notices my fear and quickly calms down. "I'm not going to hurt you," his voice barely above a whisper. "I just want to help." His eyes asked questions that he was keeping behind his voice. Before he can ask any, the clubs body guard starts running over to me. He looks as if he is going to tackle Adam. He pushes himself between us and begins to grab Adam by the arms, ready to throw him to the pavement. "REESE NO!!" I yell as I grab his arm, making him put Adam back on the ground. "It was Bobby..." This time it was my voice that was barely a whisper. Reese gives me the look he has given me a million times. "I'll bring you some ice Miss. Rose, you just sit down and relax you hear?" I nod as Reese walks back into the club. He was always my protector, and I loved that he watched after me, just sometimes he took it a little too far. I sit back on the ground, fishing another cigarette out of my bag. Desperately  searching for a lighter Adam hands me his. I try to flick it to light, but my hands are shaking too badly. He takes the lighter in his hands and soon the end of my cigarette has a bright red cherry. I mumble a thanks and curl into a ball, bringing my knees to my chest and hugging them tight. Then the tears start to fall without my permission. And they are impossible to stop. Soon I begin sobbing, Adam wraps his arms around me, pulling me close to his chest. He strokes my hair as I soak his soft cotton tee in my salty tears. His hand running through my long dark hair. "Shh it's going to be ok." He holds me tighter, the smell of cigarettes and cologne fill my nose. I breathe in heavily, relishing the smell of him. He begins softly singing to me to calm me down. I laugh as I recognize the words to You Are My Sunshine. "There she is!" He says smiling. "That's the girl that made me walk over." I laugh again and sit up, whipping my eyes as I do. "And here I thought you were just being a good citizen, turns out you were just after my good looks." I say while laughing, taking a long drag off my cigarette. He shrugs his shoulders, a half smile on his lips, reaching his arm out to keep it around me. Reese soon returns with a bag of ice and presses it gently to my mouth. I take it and say thank you, he nods heading back into the club. "Adam, I am sorry you had to see all this." He quickly wraps me in another hug before I start crying again. "Shh it's fine Hun, I wish I could have beaten the hell out of him but I didn't want anything to happen to you." I smile and kiss his cheek, telling him thank you. "Do you have anywhere to go?" A serious expression on his face as he asks. I shake my head no and drop my head to my knees, telling him the story of how my parents died when I was 16 and I have been stuck with Bobby because I didn't have any way to get out. Bobby didn't allow me to have friends and this was the only job he let me get because he can come keep tabs on me and drink, he also takes all my paychecks so I was stuck with no money. This makes Adam even more mad. "I know this sounds creepy coming from a guy you just met, but I have plenty of room at my house, why don't you come stay with me?" I begin to shake my head but he stops me. "Hear me out, you wouldn't have to pay rent, you would have your own space, I would help you get on your feet, and you wouldn't ever have to see him again." I start to think about it, all the while Adams eyes boring into my skin, searching for my answer. I turn to look at him, "What about my stuff?" He smiles, realizing I was considering it. "Well, we can either go get it, or I can get you new stuff." I put my head back into my knees, thinking of the possibilities, weighing the pros and cons. "Please Hannah," His voice was so soft it gives me chills. "I can't watch you go back into that house with him." A tear rolls down my cheek, thinking of the things that could happen to me if I went back. I slowly let out a long breathe I didn't realize I had been holding. "Alright," I look at him and smile. "I'll do it!" He smiles and makes a woohoo sound before sweeping me off my feet and twirling me around. I begin laughing hysterically as we begin to topple over, thankfully landing in the soft grass next to the parking lot. This is going to be interesting!
