Gone for Good

Declan's POV

Once I saw my girl being hit by her dad, that did it for me so I dialed 9-1-1. "Hello, 9-1-1, what's your emergency?" Spoke the man on the other side of the phone calmly. "My girlfriend, she is being hit by her father, a-abused. I need police here, the address is 153 L-Lowry Denver. My name is Declan Carter, the man who is abusing her is Brian Lewis. Please hurry!" I stuttered.

Tears were forming in my eyes, I wasn't afraid to hide them. I care about her and that's not right for her dad to do. Vera, my sweetheart face her balcony doors and I saw the pain on her eyes, I felt her pain. I zoned out and the man on the other line was calling for me "sir? SIR!" "Yes?" I stopped zoning out and answered. "The police are on their way. You will be questioned so stay where you are sir." "Ok thank you very much." I hung up and tried to cool off. If I could, I would punch that guy in the face for hurting my girl! I saw her dad walk out of her room and I felt a flood of relief wash over me.

Thank God she's safe now!

I texted her:

Sweetheart...

Hey,don't worry about it darling.
He does that

No. I do need to worry
about that! He hurt you love.
That can't happen!
The police are on their way,
you'll probably be questioned
but trust me,
I'll be right next to you
through it all.

Declan why?!
Why would you do that!
It's okay really it is

No, it's not! stop
saying that it is!
You're clearly hurt.
I don't care if you say
'he's done it before'.
that's no excuse
he hurt you sweetheart.
That's not okay!

How could my babygirl think that's okay? She has a disease that is already slowly killing her and it's unknown, so why would her dad do that to her!

Down the street I heard faint sirens.

Coming from the speakers on their car the officers instructed. "Mr. Lewis, come out of the building with your hands above your head!" I slammed my front door shut (I was already heading downstairs when I heard sirens). I saw Vera standing behind her Dad waiting for him to exit the house and move to the police car. "We could do it the harder way sir, I advise you to do as your told before we need to use the hard way. He lingered in the doorway for a short while but then walked out.

His teeth were clenched and he locked eyes with me.

He stopped and continued to stare at me. He then sprinted to me, the officers were right behind him. They tackled him to the floor right before he could get to me. I turned to the doorway and I saw Vera with tears in her eyes, shed for me or her dad I'm not too sure. I was sure that Vera would be safe. She saw me and ran over. I embraced her shielding her from this mess. She buried her face in my shirt sobbing loudly, "sweetheart, hey, it's going to be okay. Maybe not right now but trust me, time will heal that heart of yours" I spoke into her hair. Between short breaths she answered "thank you" I furrowed my brows and wondered "for what?" She smiles but I saw the brokenness hidden within, "for everything. This, no matter how crazy, for accepting me for who I am even though I have a disease and could die on you, and just for being my supportive best friend/boyfriend duo. Why would you do it?"

"Vera... I love you. That's why I'd do it. I'd travel the ends of the earth just to see that smile on your face again or just so that you're safe."
She stared at me in amazement but then answered "I love you too." She sobbed even louder now. When I looked over to the doorway, Vera's mom was standing there appalled. "Oh no you don't! You took my daughter away and my husband! You don't get to keep her, she isn't yours!" She screamed.

"Ma'am, I'm going to need you to step away from the young man." She clenched her jaw and answered angrily "he doesn't deserve her! She's my daughter and he took her away from her family!" "I am her family, psycho! That family abused her officer, the woman standing before us was involved, she knew about the abuse and did nothing. It wasn't just this girl who got abused. She has two other sisters in there, they were too." I answered truthfully. I looked down at Vera, my beautifully strong girl and kissed the top of her head. "I'm scared" she whispered. I breathed and answered "I know love, it's okay now, I'm here."
