Edwin ~ Protect her at all costs

Edwin was your best friend and would do anything to help and protect you. When you told him about how your brother, he flipped. 

About a few months ago, your brother started acting very odd around you. He would yell at you for things he didn't care about/for like leaving the dishwasher open or leaving your bag on the counter. He also started attempting to control what you wear, calling you a slut for wearing shorts or a 'revealing top'. You had asked him to stop, telling him that he was hurting you but all he did was laugh. Telling you to stop being such a baby and get over it. 

Your brother had became an excessive drinker within the next week of the start of his behavior. He started blaming you for this and a lot of other things going on in his life. 

He would tell you to stop hanging out with a new friend every day telling you they were a bad influence. The day he told you to stop hanging out with Edwin was the final straw. You stormed out of the room to grab your purse. When you come back to leave, your brother is blocking the door, preventing you from leaving. You yank him by the shirt away from the door before rushing out. You immediately get in your car and speed off the Edwin's. 

There, you use your key for the house and let yourself in. Since it was 12am, you knew he was asleep so you crashed on the couch. You couldn't fall asleep, so you went into the kitchen to bake. You accidentally woke Edwin up. 

"Y/N? What are you doing here? It's 1 am." Edwin yawns. 

You turn around to see Edwin in his boxers. 

"Sorry to wake you up." You stir the bowl of cupcake mix. 

"No it's cool. So you just wanted to use my kitchen for cupcakes again or is something up?" He sits at a bar stool tucked under the island. 

You set the bowl down before looking at him and shaking your head.

"Do you wanna go talk about it in my room?" He raises his eyebrow. 

You nod your head slowly. He gets up, grabs your hand and leads you to his room. He crawls into bed, wrapping you in a blanket and then in his arms. Edwin starts listening to everything you're saying about your brother.Once you're done, he's about to explode. His hands are shaking and his jaw is tense. 

"Y/N why didn't you tell me sooner?!" 

"I was scared Edwin. I didn't know what to do." You start to freak out.

"I'm sorry Y/N. You can stay here with me. I'll keep him away from you." He pulls you in tighter.
