HARRY'S POV-

It's been almost a whole day since I have seen her last. I have walked past her room multiple times to see if I could hear her, but not a sound escaped. 

I know she's scared, I probably shouldn't have gone as far as I did. She had to learn her lesson though, and now that she's petrified maybe she wont try to ignore her superiors. I feel bad that I left her that scared, but I shouldn't. 

Without evening thinking, my hand slowly turned the doorknob and walked into her room. She was still in the same position on the ground. Her hair stuck to her tear-stained face as she slept. I bent down beside her and gently moved the hair out of her face. Before I could move my hand away from her face, her eyes shot open locking onto mine. You could see her expression go from shocked to terrified in a matter of seconds. She quickly sat up, and pushed herself backwards, trying to get away from me. I sighed as I stood up, looking down at her. 

"Follow me, I need to show you what your responsibilities will be during your stay here." I said as nicely as I could but she ignored my command. She is really testing my patience. 

"Now, Rosalee" I said more sternly. I turned to leave the room, hearing her small footsteps follow behind me. 

"You will do the laundry whenever it needs to be done, you will cook every meal, and you will keep the house looking clean. That means that you are free to go in any room, except my office. You are never allowed to enter this room unless I tell you otherwise." 

She just nodded her head through all of my instruction, never looking up from the ground. 

"I have company coming over tonight, four people actually. I'll need enough food for all of them." She nodded her head again before turning and walking into the kitchen without any word. I'm not used to this, she normally always has something to say, or at least a facial expression. 

A couple hours passed, and the four boys were here. We all sat in the living room waiting for Rosalee to bring out the food. After only a few minutes, Rosalee emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray of food. Her eyes remained on the ground, but she carefully laid the tray in front of us, before moving back to the doorway of the kitchen, waiting for any wish we had. I never asked to do that though, it almost seems like she has done this sort of thing before. 

"Aye Rosalee, this food is awesome! You're mom taught you well!"

Rosalee's POV-

His words stung me right in the chest. I quickly bowed my head, attempting to hold back the tears. I could feel people's eyes on me. I haven't been dismissed yet from my duties, so as much as I wanted to run and cry, I had to stay here. 

"Louis..." I heard Leo speak to the man who had said that to me. 

"What'd I do?" He asked genuinely not knowing what his words had done. 

"C'mon Harry dismiss her." I heard Leo speak up for me again. I don't know why he always tries to defend me. 

"No, she's not a baby Leo. Stop acting like she is, she's fine. Go get me another beer Rosalee." Harry bit back. 

Without hesitating, I turned around and walked into the kitchen to fetch a beer for Harry. A few tears escaped and slid down my cheeks. I didn't want to go back out and see any of them, but I was too scared to disobey Harry again. 

I sat down Harry's beer down in front of him, before leaving and going back to my previous position. As all the boys were too busy with conversation, and the TV, I took that time to look around. If I wanted to escape, my best choice would probably be while Harry was asleep. I could try the front door maybe, or the back door that's in the kitchen. I bet Harry is a heavy sleeper, he probably won't hear or expect me to escape in the dead of the night. 

"What did he do to you..." I heard Leo say, snapping me out of my train of thoughts. His eyes were starring straight at my wrists. Dark bruises were visible as they poked out of my long sleeved shirt. His eyes moved up my body, and stopped at my neck. I haven't looked at myself since last night when Harry attacked me. Feeling embarrassed, I lowered my head and brought my hand up to my neck, trying to hid whatever it was that he was staring at. 

"Leo, I thought everyone left. what are you still doing here?" Harry asked walking towards us. I slightly looked up to see him looking at us in confusion, and slight annoyance. 

"You did this to her?! How could you do this to a woman? Especially a woman who asked for none of this?!" Leo yelled at Harry, while grabbing my arm and pulling up the sleeve to show my bruises. Was Leo forgetting that he had dragged, and tossed me around like a rag doll too? Harry's eyes grew dark in anger. They both started yelling at each other and I just couldn't take it. 

"STOP IT! Both of you stop! Leo, have you forgotten how you dragged me around, and threw me on the ground? Both of you are terrible, terrible people who are hurting me! You are all hurting me for reasons I don't understand. I don't know what I did to deserve any of this torture!" I yelled, tears falling from my eyes from everything that has happened to me. They both looked at me shocked. I might get another punishment from Harry for this but I don't care. 

I stood there for a moment glaring at both of them, Harry looked away, and Leo looked at me with pity. Before either of them could say anything, I ran upstairs to the room I was in earlier. I slammed the door shut, and fell onto the bed. I let the sobs escape my mouth as I wished that when I woke up, I would be anywhere but here.
