Never Knew...Until Now

Rosie POV

A week later...

"I'ma ask yo ass one more fucking time and yo ass better answer me this time! Who's the bitch that was in this house with you yesterday while I was gone?" Tony ask with so much anger in his voice it scared me half to death, he had a strong grip on my hair as he looked me dead in my eyes waiting for me to answer.

"....I-It was a f-friend!" I stutter in fear.

"What's the bitch name!?" He ask yanking my hair.

"Nicole!" I lied in pain.

"Don't fucking lie to me rosie! is that her fucking name forreal?" He ask tighting his grip even more.

"Yes! yes!" I yelp in pain. He yanks me down to the floor and kicks me hard in my ribs. I heard a cracking sound and cringe in so much pain.

"I don't want that bitch back in my house again, you hear me?!" He yelled.

"Y-y-yes!" I cry out.

He then walks away as if nothing happened. He goes in his room and I am left in the hallway on the floor crying. Eventually, I pass out from the amount pain I was feeling.

*25 minutes later*

I wake up to a familar voice.

"Rocky?" I ask weakly cause my throat and mouth was dry and I felt really weak. I tried to sit up but rocky guides me back down.

"Don't get up" She says.

"Why are you here? How did I get here? Where am I?" I ask.

"First, I'm here because I found you passed out in the hallway upstairs at your house. Second, I brought you here and finally, your at my apartment" She answers.

"What?" I ask a bit confused.

"We broke up, remember?...so I brought an apartment until I can buy a house!" She says smiling a bit.

"Oh" was all that came out.

"What happened?" She ask.

"I....fell and hit my head" I lied looking away.

"Rosie, I know you...this wasn't no fall, what really happened?" She ask making me look at her.

"Its nothing, I was clumsy and fell" I lie again.

"Rosie..." She look at me and I can tell she was serious and wanted to help me.

"I don't wanna talk about it" I say looking away.

"Either you tell me or I find out for myself!" She says.

I shed a couple of tears and sigh.

"Tony did it" I say.

"Tony as in your brother?" She ask.

"Yes" I say.

"Why?" She ask.

"We was playing around he got kinda rough with me and...yeah" I lie.

"Oh really?" She ask looking dead at me.

"Yeah" I reply.

"So where was he then when you passed out on the floor?" She ask.

"I don't know" I say.

"Rosie tell me, I know you know!" She says.

"I don't wanna talk about this anymore, I wanna go home" I say trying to get up but fail.

"You aren't going anywhere until you tell me what happened, the truth this time rosie!" She says sternly.

"Let it go rocky! I told you I don't wanna talk about it!" I say getting annoyed.

"Talk!" She says.

"No!" I shouted.

"...fine! I guess I will find out for myself!" She says getting up and grabbing her phone and keys off her dresser.

"NO!...wait" I say. She turns around and folds her arms waiting for me to speak.

"I will tell you but you have to promise me that you WILL NOT do anything!" I say with so much seriousness in my voice.

"Ok...I promise" She says then sits next to me.

I sigh.

"When me and you were together, I met this girl-"

"You were talking to another female while we was dating!?" She ask cutting me off.

"No....yeah but let me finish!" I say.

"Ok" She says.

"I met her at mcdonalds sh-"

"You met her at mcdonalds!? Are you serious?" She ask cutting me off again and laughing.

"Interupt me one more god damn time and I won't tell your ass shit!" I say a bit mad.

"Ok ok...sorry" She says.

"We've been talking for some time and that day you broke up with me, she comfort me, things escalated and I started inviting her over but I couldnt have any company because of tony. He would alway threaten me and tell me not to let anybody in the house while he was gone but I didn't listen. Yesterday, she came over but she had to leave before tony came back....that didn't work out that time, he came home a bit early and found out. He got pissed at me today about it and beat the shit out of me, he made me tell him her name but I lied, he didn't know I was lying but he still got mad and yanked me to the floor and kicked me in the ribs, I think he broke one of them and I guess I passed out and now I'm here" I explain.

"......has he been beating on you for a long time?" She ask with her eyes glossy, she was on the verge of crying.

I look away as I feel my tears burn at the back of my eyes. I nod slowly.

"Omg!...I'm so sorry! all this time! I could have protected you but I never knew!" She cried.

I pull her in a hug.

"Shhh...its not your fault, you didn't know because I didnt want to tell you, I know I was wrong for not telling anybody but you have to understand...that is my brother, he is the only family that I have and it will pain me to see him to go to jail...I'm sorry" I say as tears fell from my eyes.

"I can't let you go back there!" She says wiping her tears away.

"I have to, he will be looking for me and I can't have you getting hurt because of me" I say.

"I refuse to let you go back to that monster you call your brother!" She fused.

"Rocky, there's nothing you can do, he will find me and he will hurt both of us, me for running away from him and you for helping me, I can't risk that rocky....I care about you too much for that to happen!" I say calmly as silent tears rolled down my cheeks.

She sighs.

"I can't just let this continue, it went on long enough rosie, it will soon get to the point where he will kill you!" She says.

I want to deny it but I know what she is saying is right. He will kill me if I don't get away from him...and soon.
