~Danielle's P.O.V.~
We pull up into the driveway to see Dalton passed out with a bottle of beer in his hand. Oh no, he's been drinking again. Dalton gets extremely violent when he drinks often. We get out of the car as Dalton begins to stand up. Hunter and Hali begin to drag stuff into the house. I go to help but Hunter stops me.
"Go check on Dalton baby." Hunter says while looking over my shoulder at Dalton before looking back at me with conern-filled eyes.
"Ok honey." I say before kissing him on the cheek. I walk over to Dalton to see him staring me down. What is his problem?
"Dalton? Are you ok?" I ask while taking his hand but he quickly snatches it away from my grasp before smacking the same hand across my face. I fall to the ground from the force before I feel a large amount of weight on top of me. I look up to see Dalton on top of me. What is wrong with him?
"You. Stupid. Hoe!" He growls as he begins to punch and kick me.
"Dalton stop it! Hunter help!" I scream but Hunter doesn't come. I start to scream again but Dalton covers my mouth with his hand.
"Don't you dare scream like that again or I will make sure that those are the last words you ever say, got it slut?" Dalton asks while rubbing his other hand up and down my leg. I nodded my head out of fear. He begins pulling my skirt up and I can feel myself beginning to cry. Why is he doing this to me? Suddenly I feel his weight lifted off of me. I look up to see Hunter and Dalton wrestling on the ground. Hunter gets on top of Dalton and begins beating the daylights out of him. I try to tell him to stop but my throat is raw from crying so much lately that nothing comes out.
"Don't. Ever. Touch. Her. Again." Hunter growls out at Dalton between punches to the face.
"Dude she came on to me. I was just gonna show her a good time is all.She should be use to being treated like that with her being a slut and all." Dalton chuckles out before Hunter kicks him in the ribs.
"Hunter! Stop it! You're hurting him!" Hali screams from the front porch before running down the stairs and between the two of them. She manages to get Hunter off of Dalton before she gets the two of them to listen.
"Stop it right now!!!!! Hunter I don't know what Dalton did, and right now I don't care. You don't fight your best friend!" Hali snaps out.
"You should care. He almost raped Danielle!"
"Well he is drunk!"
"That's not a good enough excuse! Take him home and get him sobered up!" Hunter growls out before pushing Hali and Dalton towards the truck.
"Hunter man. Come on. It was just a joke. She knows that I was just kidding. Why does it matter so much to you anyways?"
"Yeah, that's why she was screaming for help It matters because I love her. See you later Dalton. Goodbye." Hunter says before slamming the door on the truck. He watches them drive away before he turns around and notices me still laying on the ground crying. He bends down to grab me in his arms but I move away from him almost instantly.
"Danielle? Angel come here. I'm not going to hurt you. Everything will be ok. Just come here angel." Hunter says while crouching down and trying to hold me again. I move away from him some more.
"Get away from me!" I shout out at him as I curl up in a ball. I see him wince before anger/concern fill his face.
"Danielle. I'm going to give you one more chance. Come here or so help me I will come and get you." Hunter says almost growling at me. I stay right where I am looking at him. Does he not realize how scared I am right now?
