Rachel

"Just go!" Tucker snaps at Jackson.

"Dude! We're trying to help you!" Jackson groans.

"I DONT GIVE A SHIT! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Tucker raises his arm up.

"TUCKER!" Knox runs up and Tucker turns his glare to him, pulling out his knife, until Knox shoots him in the neck with a tranquilizer.

I gasp. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"

"He's fucked up" Knox sighs.

"What do you mean he's fucked up?" I ask.

"That's not my brother" Caroline frowns.

"He was hurt, Rachel" some girl says and I turn to her. "Naomi. Anyways, Tucker was mentally and physically abused back there. Whipped, chained, shot, sliced, and even had boiling water thrown on him"

What?

Why hasn't Tucker told me any of this?

I push my eyebrows together in confusion. "H-how do you know?"

"Yea?" Benny asks.

"He told me... he said he had to let it out" Naomi says.

Knox sighs. "He's fucked up in the head right now..." he tells me. "He thinks everyone's out to hurt him. He had to be strapped down in the hospital because he about killed the nurse"

I frown. "But he hasn't tried to hurt me..." I look down at Tucker.

"Well he's tried to hurt others" Knox crosses his arms.

"It's so unfair" Summer frowns.

"I didn't know something can mess him up this bad to try to hurt you..." Caroline sighs.

Naomi sits next to Tucker, making my blood boil.

"Come on guys... let Tucker cool off" Knox says, grabbing his keys. "I don't want any of you in the house when he wakes up"

"I'm standing" Naomi and I say at the same time.

"No-"

"Maybe its best for Tucker to had the two people he's trusting right now" Jackson trails off.

Knox sighs. "Call if you need anything"

We nod and they leave.

"Tucker is really a good person" Naomi says.

I turn to her. "I know"

I put Tucker's head on my lap, running my fingers through his hair.

"I'm the only one he told about what happened" she says. "I was there for him this whole time"

"Well I'm here now, so you don't have to anymore" I mentally roll my eyes.

"He hasn't called you..." she turns to me.

"He's hurting" I rub my thumb on Tucker's cheek. "He's always been in good hands"

"Do you love him?" she asks.

I turn to her in a disgusted look. "Are you really asking me this? Of course I love him!"

She puts her hands up in defeat. "Sorry sorry"

I really don't like this girl.

We sit with MY boyfriend for a bit until he groans.

"You're awake!" I smile widely and he looks at me. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to yell"

"You gotta speak soft, he's suffering from headaches" Naomi says.

I roll my eyes.

"I'm fine" Tucker sits up, hissing in pain.
