Nicole POV

Inny is coming over today. My dad is passed out in his room and I locked the door, not the best idea but whatever. I can take the beating again. I'm all too used to it. I cleaned up as good as I can. I washed the carpets, opened the windows and bought some candles. Washed the living room blankets and cleaned the kitchen out. Got air freshener and well. I cleaned the whole house and spent all my money to make my home look a little bit better. We don't have and bugs which is good. Letting light in and the house smelling good makes me feel alot better. My house doesn't look good from the outside. Old, not painted, broken down house that nobody goes to or talks about. Than the doorbell rings. I jump up and open it to see Inny. 

"Hey, I never even thought anbody lived here." she says. I smile embarrassed and look down. "Nothing against you."

"Its okay, it really looks better inside." I say letting her in. Well, she hasn't run away yet so I'm guessing its okay. We walk to the living room and sit down.

"Hmm....its really nice in here. Smells really good." she says. I smile and nod. "Where are your parents?"

"I....don't.....my dad's sleeping." I say quickly. She gives me a confused look but nods. I can tell she doesn't believe me but what should I say? Oh, my drunken dad who beats the living hell out of me is passed out and I locked him up so we can hang out?

"Okay, can I meet him sometime?" she asks. Damn it Inny! 

"Maybe." I say. She narrows her eyes but before she can say anything loud banging makes us jump.

"Nicole! Open the fucking door!" dad yells. My heart stops as I try to think what to do. "Now!"

"Is that your dad?" she asks. I nod and jump up. "And he treats you like that?"

"I can't really explain." I say. Than the door breaks and he comes stomping around the corner.

"You dare lock me up?!" he yells. "And who's this?!" 

"This is a friend." I say. He pulls his belt and head towards her but I step between them. "Stop! I won't let you hurt my friends!" he swings the belt and hits me on the cheek. I fell to the ground and he hits my back over and over again until I can't feel it anymore.

"'Now to you." Inny backs up but my wolf takes over and lunge onto him, ripping his throat open. I back off of him, all the blood, the pain. I can't hear anything and my vision goes black. Than I feel shaking.

"Hey, its okay." I look and see Inny with looking at me with a worried face. "You okay."

"What? No, I can't feel my back." I say. She helps me up and we leave the house. "I can't walk....it.....it hurts." the tears run down my cheeks. Than I hear another voice.

"Inny? What happened?" I look up and see Dex. I spit out some blood and fall to the ground. "Shit, I'll get Attila." but I feel the darkness takes over.

Later That Day At Attila's House

I open my eyes and look around. I'm in a bed, the covers up to my chin but my arms are out. I can feel my back but a light stinging. I sit up but my back won't really let me. Than the door opens, Inny and Morgan walk in.

"Hey, you feeling okay?" Morgan asks. I shake my head and lay back down. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"I grew up with him." I say. They each other than back to me. 

"Thats no reason to stay with him." Inny says. I sigh. "Nicole, we could've helped you."

"I don't want or need help! From anybody!" I snap. They frown as Attila walks in.

"Let me talk to her." he says. They nod and leave me alone with him. "I'm really disappointed you didn't tell me."

"Why? I don't need anybody to watch me." I say. He groans and sits down.

"No, you do." he says. "You get this hurt and just think I'll let it pass?!" his voice getting louder.

"I never asked you to help or protect me!" I yell.

"No need! I'd do it anyway!" he yells. "I do it and I worry because I love you and I can't lose you!" 

"You shouldn't. I have a bad heart." I say looking down. He sighs and takes my hand, kissing it lightly.

"No, you don't. You don't have a bad heart. You have a bad life." he says. " I love you and together I can help you. You can live with me." I smile and nod.

"Okay, I love you too Attila." I say. He leans down and presses his lips to mine. Maybe he's right, at least I have him. And my sisters.
