<David>
A few minutes before...
I got an Uber from the airport to a car rental place. I had to have some way to get around.
My first thought if where Liza could be was at her parents house. She would always retreat back there if something was ever wrong.
I got onto the dark highway, and it was quite congested for this time of night. Some of the cars in front of me slowed down to get over into another lane.
I saw flashers off in the distance. I looked down at my phone and dialed Liza's number. I had to find my girl.
The car in front of me swerved off to the right and I looked up to a small figure standing in the road.
I jerked my wheel to the side with everything I had, tires squealing.
My car turn a full 90 degrees until it came to a stop.
"Holy shit," I breathed.
I looked towards where the smaller person was.
Dark brown curls filled my sights.
Her hands were shaking slightly, with tears streaming down her face.
My eyes widened and I hurried out of my car.
"David..."
The fear in her voice pained me.
"Liza.."
I ran to her and scooped her up in a big hug, and she just cried.
"Shhh, baby I'm here now."
I pressed my hand against her curls, pushing her into my chest. My eyes fluttered closed as I felt tears rise.
In all the madness, I realized what she was trying to do.
It made me cry even harder.
"I'm never letting you go."
I was going to kill who ever made her feel that she had to die. That she had to walk onto the highway and get hit.
"Lets go back to my hotel, okay? Then we can talk, and do what ever you want."
She nodded and I kissed her forehead.
"What about my car?"
"I'll call your parents. We can tell then that you broke down or something."
She nodded again and held me tighter.
———————————————————
I pulled some clothes out of my bag and gave them to Liza.
"Thank you..."
I nodded and sat down beside her on the bed, pushing her curls be hide her ear.
I placed a soft kiss on her lips and she kissed back just as softly.
I missed her soft kisses late at night.
Put her legs in a four and I sat in front of her.
"I missed you so much," I whispered.
"I missed you too."
She leaned forward and rested her forehead against mine.
It was the little moments like this that I lived for.
"Why," I said closing my eyes.
She nudged her head and let it fall to my shoulder.
"I was being abused..."
My heart dropped.
I pulled back to look her in the eyes.
"By who?"
She looked down, her face showing remorse.
"Liza look at me, please. Who hurt you?"
"M-My boyfriend."
It was the thing that hurt the most, seeing her with someone else. But she was being hurt too.
My body tensed up and I pulled her into me once again.
I could tell she was crying, by the way she breathed.
"He can't hurt you anymore."
She let out a loud sob and I kissed her neck softly.
"Everything will be okay."
She sniffled and wrapped her arms around me.
"D-David..?"
"Yeah baby?"
"I wanna go home."
