Dominic's pov
When I got home my dad was in the kitchen trying to get the blood to stop gushing from his nose
" why would you bring her around here "
" what "
" how much did she charge "
He had a smirk on his face and I knew what he was saying
" what do you know about her "
" her dad said that she throws herself at the men her mother brings home then after they have sex she cries to him saying that they rapped her like she didn't want it "
I couldn't bite my tong any longer
" YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE FUCKING TALKING ABOUT YOU NEVER EVEN TALKED TO HER SO BEFORE YOU JUDGE HER ON THE RUMORS THINK WITH THAT SICK HEAD OF YOURS "
I went up to my room and thought about everything that's happened recently and all the things she's showed me and what I've learned I was wrong about.

As pov
When I walked in my mom was on the couch and a guy with his head on her lap passed out
" Where have you been "
I ignored her and started to walk to my room
" I SAID where have you been "
I stopped and turned back to her
" what do you care I mean he's passed out on your lap and you have that look on your face AND IM SICK of having to be a PARENT to myself and you're so DAZED you can't see I'm covered in bruises and I have a splint on my hand "
" what "
" sorry let me put it this way I was raped when I was protecting the person that helped me and got my hand smashed in the process "
" Why didn't you tell me "
I held up two fingers
" how many "
She squinted trying to focus on my hand
" TWO ... two fingers the day you can tell me that without squinting with the stench of cheap beer rolling off your lips and a falling high in your eyes then I'll tell you things "
I turned and went to my room slamming the door which made some things shake. I sat on my bed with my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands I was staring at the floor and started to think about the things that have happened recently and what I've learned. Eventually, I realized Dominic was the only person that I've ever fully trusted and that I'd do anything to help him even getting my hand smashed by his intoxicated father. I was ripped from my thoughts when someone was knocking on my door
" what "
I said as I walked towards it
" it's Cam "
I opened the door to let him in
" sorry about the mark "
I said pointing to his neck
" it's ok it got me some street cred "
I rolled my eyes and went back to the bed and he followed
" So where's Mr. hot stuff tonight "
" home "
A little smile was starting to poke through his otherwise blank expression
" his home in the gated community "
I added and just as quick as it appeared the smile disappeared
" he's from "
" yep "
I held up my hand
" even paid his fathers price for me being there "
" A "
He grabbed my hand
" broke them with a hammer ... better my hand then Doms "
He looked up at me
" why were you there why did you have a handcuff on your arm this morning "
I got off the bed but he staid
" I was stupid and went to one of his friends' party's got drugged and woke up in a different place with a handcuff on "
He got up and threw clenched teeth he said
" did he do it "
" NO "
He sat back down and didn't look at me
" what are you going to do "
I looked at him
" I'm going to get some names and get some blood "
He looked up at me and he knew what I meant I was going to make them all pay for what they did.
