please dont hurt me.

fear. that's all you felt. straight up fear. you had just escaped your boyfriends relentless abuse and had nowhere to go. you were running down the street to get away from him as fast as possible.

while running, you bumped into a tall figure.

"oh i'm so sorry please don't hurt me" you let out while covering your face from instinct.

"hey, hey it's okay i promise, i won't hurt you. why would i hurt you?" he said caringly while reaching out to help you.

you looked up at him with tear filled eyes.

"don't let him find me" you whimpered.

"who? don't let who find you?" he asked while reaching out to you once again.

"my-my boyfriend. he's gonna hurt me. please help me. don't let him hurt me" you said while clutching onto this stranger.

"it's okay you're okay. i'm here. come with me i'll take you to my house. he won't find you okay? i won't let him hurt you" he said while ushering you down to the public transit.

he took you back to his apartment and sat you down on his couch and gave you a cup of tea.

"so um, my names dan, this is my roommate phil," he said gesturing to the tall man next to him, "what's your name?" he asked.

"y/n." you said while staring at the two boys.

"y/n, you can stay with phil and i. we really don't want your boyfriend to find you and hurt you anymore." dan spoke softly.

"thank you, um can i use the washroom?" you asked awkwardly.

"yeah of course. you can shower too if you want. i know showering always helps me when i'm upset" phil spoke up for the first time.

you smiled gratefully while dan guided you to the washroom and gave you a towel.

as you started to get undressed, dan came back in.

"i have some clothes for you-oh fuck sorry i should've knocked." he said while turning away.

"no-no it's um it's okay" you said while grabbing something to cover your bare chest.

he turned back around to hand you the clothes and noticed the bruises and cuts on your arms.

"did he do this?" dan asked, his voice cracking slightly.

you sheepishly nodded your head.

"y/n, listen to me. you are absolutely beautiful okay? i don't care what he ever told you. you are gorgeous and worth the world. me and phil will never ever hurt you and i hope with all my heart that one day your boyfriend gets locked up. you don't deserve to be treated as anything but a princess. you can stay with us forever if you need to. i promise you're safe here. i will always protect you" he said while engulfing you in a hug.

you started to cry because no one had ever said anything so nice to you before.

"hey princess, why are you crying?" he asked while pulling away and lifting your chin to meet his gaze.

"no one has ever said anything so nice to me" you choked out while gazing into his soft chocolate eyes.

"every word i just said was 100% true. you deserve the world y/n" he said while leaning closer to you.

you were both slowly leaning forward and then suddenly your lips collided. you wrapped your hands around his neck and he wrapped his around your waist.

when you pulled away your lips curved into a smile.

"thank you dan. you saved my life" you said while pressing your lips to his once again.
