Loving Them Both

Holding out for a hero

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the guards? Where's the street wise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn to dream of what I need. I need a hero. I holding out for a hero. He's got to be fast he's got to be strong and he's got to be fresh from the fight. I need a hero.

I Need A Hero- Frou Frou

***

Only a few more days till my life is over. Well really Luke and Kole are leaving for NYU. But same thing. And after that one month until I leave for collage.

I wish I could say I was getting sleep tonight, but I'm not. I was worried about Luke. I really felt like something was wrong. I feel like...like I have to go see him.

Eŵ

There was an urgent knock at the door and I quickly got up to answer.

"Ronnie who is it?" Klaus asked"I don't know but I'll get it." I said

"Luke oh my god. What happened?" I asked, bringing him inside the house and setting him on the couch.

"Ronnie he-my- my stomach." He panted.

I quickly lifted up his shirt to reveal bruises, scars, and blood. "Luke what the hell happened?"

"He did it. Mums boyfriend. The had been dating for a few...months apparently, and he just recently started to come over. And over a period of time I noticed his anger would get the best of him. He never put a finger on me before. And I never saw him do it before tonight. He hits mum and she has bruises all over her body. I was able to stop him but he came after me and threatened me."

"What did he say?"

"He said if I ever told any one he would kill everyone I love and then kill me after I've watched. Ronnie he's a horrible person."

"And is you moms boyfriend at the house now?" Klaus asked now standing behind me.

"Yeah. I had to fight him to leave the house. By now him and mum are probably getting into it. Ronnie we have to help her."

"I'm on it. Klaus stay here with Luke."

"No. No way. No way am I going to let you in that house with that psychopath. Luke will be fine."

"Luke is bleeding, so I'm asking you to stay here and help him get cleaned up."

"Luke are you OK?" Klaus asked him.

"I'll be better if you help mom. I'll be fine. Go. Both of you."

"You heard him. Let's go." Klaus said.

"I'll be back soon OK?"

"OK."

I didn't want to argue so I went along with it and decided to help my mom, she's what was important right now. I was driving so I know I would get there quickly.

Pulling up in front of moms house, I heard shouting and two silhouettes of my mom and William. I saw him slap her. And believe me, no matter how mad you are at your mom it all goes away when you see her getting abused.

"We need to do something!" I hissed.

"I know, Ronnie just calm down."

"No! That's my mother in there!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

"We go in there and we stop him." I said. "You will have my back." I added.

"Let's go." He said.

"WHO KNOWS WHO HE'LL TELL! HIS BIG MOUTH WILL NOT ONLY HAVE HIS ASS ON THE LINE BUT YOURS TWO! AND THAT LITTLE DAUGHTER OF YOURS!"
