Stella's POV:
I hid in a closet in the living room and I cracked it a bit so I could see. I saw Bradley come back in and he grabbed his Jacket but before he could put it on, Brennen hit him over the head with a wooden baseball bat knocking Bradley out cold, a bit of blood falling onto his forehead. Brennen picked him up and nearly dragged him to the stairs and he carried him upstairs, and they disappeared from my vision and then I heard a door close and after a few minutes it opened again and footsteps came downstairs rather fast, it was Brennen.
Brennen- Stella come out now, because if I have to come and find you myself it won't be pretty.
I debated for a second but I didn't want to get hurt anymore than I already have, so I slowly stepped out of the closet, his back was turned so he couldn't see me.
Brennen- Now Stella.
Stella- B-Behind y-you.
I spoke just above a whisper and my voice was a bit shaky because I was nervous, scared more than anything, what did he do to Bradley, will he be okay, what does he plan on doing to him? These were the questions that flooded my mind. Brennen turned around slowly and he looked pissed.
Brennen- You're pregnant aren't you, and don't you dare fucking lie to me.
Stella- I-I am.
Brennen- When were you gonna tell me this?
I didn't answer him, I looked down not wanting to suffer his terrifying gaze any longer.
Brennen- Oh I get, you weren't planning on tell me we're you?
Again I didn't speak, nor did I look at him, I held my gaze with the floor.
Brennen- Answer me.
Stella- N-No
Brennen- You weren't gonna tell me?
I shook my head still not looking at him.
I saw his feet was closer to me and my heart started slightly pounding in my chest. He lifted my chin and I flinched as he did so and I closed my eyes waiting for what I knew was coming next, but it never happened.
Brennen- Look at me.
I opened my eyes and looked at him and he didn't really show much emotion.
Brennen- You pregnant so I won't hurt you that bad, meaning if you disrespect or disobey me you'll still get punished but not as bad or harsh but it won't be pleasant understand?
Stella- Y-Yes I understand.
Brennen- Good. You know I love you right?
Stella- Y-Yes
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to him and kisses me for a few minutes and pulled away.
Stella- Can I go out f-for a walk, I won't go far.
Brennen- I'm gonna trust you this time, but you know what'll happen if you disobey me.
Stella- Yes I do, I won't.
Brennen- Go ahead.
I went upstairs and changed into some sweat pants and a hoodie and put on my sneakers and went back downstairs to him.
Brennen- Don't be out long.
Stella- I won't.
Brennen- Okay.
He pecked my lips and went upstairs, I left my phone on purpose and left out of the house and started walking. Once I got to the end of the range of how far I could go, I looked around and when I saw no one, I ran. I ran as fast as I could away from there not daring to look back. Eventually I got back to civilization since where I was, was deserted. I started walking, not knowing where I was going, just walking on the side walk, passing by people who carried on with their day continuing with what they were doing. I started walking to a park because my legs we're getting tired and I wanted to rest a bit. I started walking in the direction of the park and after a few minutes I felt a tap on my shoulder, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I tensed up and slowly turned around and my eyes widened. There he was, the love of my life, my everything.
Stella- J-Jake?
Before he said or did anything I quickly ran into his arms and broke down. He hugged me tightly and whispered comforting and loving things to and I started to calm down.
Jake- Are you okay?
I nodded and continued to sob in his chest.
Stella- He's gonna come for me again, I went to far from his house I wasn't supposed to he's gonna hurt all of you because I disobeyed him.
Jake- No he won't everyone is fine, wanna go see them?
Stella- Y-Yes please.
He picked me up gently and walked home with me in his arms and I snuggled into his chest and held on as if life itself depended on it, and it did.
