In The Place to be {Anthony Ramos x reader}

Chapter 48

Thump thump thump

Three loud knocks came upon the door. Then more. I got up and opened the door. "Jaz?" Her makeup was smudged and her outfit was tattered. "Y/N! Let me in please!" I nodded and let her in. She collapsed to the ground and sobbed. "Jaz what happened?" Then three knocks came upon the door. Jazzy shot up. "Don't let him in please." She grabbed onto my pantleg and pleaded. "Ok, but please tell me what in the world is happening." Phillipa came to the both of us and lead Jaz to my room. "Just- give us some time please." I said to the guys. "I-I-I was walking then I heard crying then- oh god!" Jasmine sobbed into her hands as Pippa attempted to comfort her. The knocks on the door turned into pounding. "Fuck it. Cover me babe." I said to Ant. He shot up and joined me at the door. Daveed, Oak and Steven did as well- we has no clue who was behind that door. I opened it slowly. "Hello there. I was just looking for my friend, I think I saw her run in here?" A large man with a little, about 5 year old girl at his side. I couldn't help but look at the girl, her face was dirty and bruised. Her lip had a fresh cut and was bloody. "I'm sorry no one but me and these guys are here." I crouched down to the little girl. "Hey hun, what's your name?" She looked to the man for approval then carefully said "Millie." "Such a beautiful name, are you ok dear?" She started to tremble as the man's grip around her hand tightened. "Y-yes." "Well we should get going." The man said. The little girl then mouthed 'help' "I actually did see a young lady run into the room across." I pointed to the apartment across the hall from us. "Thank you. Stay here sweet girl." He said and went to knock on the door. I motioned her to come in and she did. Steven was already on the phone with the cops. I slammed the door and locked it. The little girl jumped into my arms and sobbed. "Oh thank you!" She cried. "Shh its ok, it will all be ok." I looked up at Anthony and he had his hands behind his neck. I held the girl close and tried my best to comfort her. Jazzy came out of the room. "MILLIE!" She ran to us and embraced me and Millie. I let go and gave them a moment. "Did he hurt you baby?" She shook her head as tears and snot dripped down her face.

Jazzy's POV
I heard a scream down the alley way. I drew my pocket knife and crept closer to the corner of the alley. "STOP LET GO!" I turned the corner and pointed my knife at a large figure. "What the hell are you doing?!" The figure turned around and held his hands up. "Now Millie, tell this lady I didn't do nothin' to ya." "Millie? Is that your name? Come over here by me sweetheart." The little girl ran towards me and hid behind me. I looked at her for a moment then felt hands around my wrist. I tried to stab the man, but I was to late. He had grabbed my other hand and whispered into my ear. "Well i'll be... aren't you just prettier than a magnolia in May..." I tried to struggle "Get the hell off of me you creep!" He then tore my shirt and my leggings. "HELP ME MILLIE!" Millie then stepped on his foot and he let go in pain. I tried to grab Millie but he grabbed her and punched her in the mouth. I ran to the nearest house praying he would follow me so I could save that little girl.
