As I walked out the hospital, I slammed open the door as I took the deepest breathe of the fresh air. Now that was painful. How could she not remember me.

Hearing footsteps behind me, I looked to see Julian. "What the fuck do you want?", I spat as he leaned against the wall.

"Don't take your anger out on me, it's not my fault your own girlfriend doesn't remember who you are", he said. I whipped my head to the side to look at him. "That must hurt a lot, right?".

"Just fuck off, Julian", I sighed, my eyes closed as I leant my head against the brick wall.

He shrugged. "Maybe it's for the good, I mean I think having to go through this shit once is enough, I doubt she would like to relive it all again".

Kylian frowned. What the fuck was he going on about? Turning to face him, Kylian crosses his arms thinking about what Julian knew and what he wasn't telling him. Looking straight back at Kylian, Julian looked to his 'friend', could he even call him a a friend anymore? Julian sighed, thinking back to when he could have been the most help to Savanna.

*FLASHBACK*
**JULIAN'S POV**

"That will be $21.50 please, sir", the lady behind the counter said. Digging into his pocket to fish out his wallet, he lifted his head to see a familiar face walking past the shop window. Furrowing his eyebrows he slammed whatever money he had on the table. "Keep the change".

Running out the store, he caught up to the person. "Savanna?".

Hearing a small gasp, she slowly turned around to a view that horrified Julian. Her right eye was so badly bruised she could barley see out of it, her lip was cut, her face was cut, her arms and legs were cut and her hair was so messy it looked like she had not showered in days. Reaching out to the petrified blonde, she turned away, running to wherever she could but Julian was hot on her tail as he slowed her down. "What's happened to you? Who did this?".

"No one", she muttered as she tried to get past the man towering over her.

"Savanna", he warned. "Look at you!".

And when he shouted, that was it. As much as she tried to fight it, tears began falling down her bruised cheeks, she felt so little, so traumatised she couldn't even take when someone raised their voice, even for a second. Quickly moving away when Julian tried to reach out for her, she whimpered. "Please go home Julian".

"And leave you like this? What are you even doing so far out here anyway? Do you even know your way around here?", he said, his voice laced with worry.

She nodded as she looked down but Julian wasn't convinced, he could see there was a lot of shit Savanna wasn't telling him and he knew he was 't going to get it out of her here. "Fine", he sighed. "I have my car here, at least let me take you home".

"No thank you", she said.

"I don't think you have a choice", he chuckled. "I've seen you now and I would be a real shitty person to leave you out here". Finally getting a small smile from the girl, he walked in front as he led her to his car but minutes after he turned back around, she was gone.

Gone so quick, he frantically looked around. He was beyond worried for her safety and beyond curious as to what had happened to her. Having no other choice, he got in his car and drove back home feeling his phone buzz just as he reached his front door.

Savanna: Please don't worry about me. I'm fine. And please, I trust you not to tell anyone. S x
