~Danielle's P.O.V.~
"You stupid little slut. No body could ever love you!" He growls out at me as he pushes me onto the bed.
"Why are you doing this to me?" I whisper as the tears fall down my face.
"Because you deserve it! You are nothing but a slut who works every street corner that you can!" He growls as he pushes up my skirt.
"Dalton please stop." I beg him but he doesn't listen. "Stop! Stop it!" I scream but he grabs me by the shoulders and begins to shake me.
"Danielle? Baby? Wake up, it's only a dream." I hear a voice calling out to me.
I open my eyes to see Hunter looking at me scared. Stupid nightmares.
~Hunter's P.O.V.~
"Stop! Stop it!" I hear Danielle scream out. I open my eyes to see that she is still alseep but screaming and crying. Stupid nightmares. I shake her by the shoulders trying to wake her up.
"Danielle? Baby? Wake up, it's only a dream." I say trying to stay calm as her eyes open up to look at me. She looks at me for a moment as if she is imagining me instead of me actually being here.
"Hunter? Is that really you?"
"Yes it's me baby." I say while releasing her shoulders and wiping the tears away.
"Hunter. I'm scared." Danielle whispers while looking at the ground, a thing that she does when she is severly scared or nervous.
"I know angel, come here." I say and almost instantly she is in my arms crying.
"What if he comes back Hunter?" She whimpers out, sounding like a scared little child.
"He won't baby. He won't. Shh........ it's ok I'm not going to let Dalton hurt you anymore." I coo while rocking us back and forth.
"How can you not let him hurt me when we are always with him?"
"Simple. We won't hang out with him anymore."
"No Hunter. He is your best friend, you are not giving him up for me. I'm not worth giving up your best friend since you were born for some slut." She says while glaring at me, but it didn't work because she is just too adorable to glare.
"You are not a slut baby. You are worth it, and it won't be forever, just for a few days until everybody calms down." I say while wiping the tears off of her cheek.
"Ok hon." She says in a voice so quiet it couldn't be considered a whisper.
Ding-Dong!!!
Me and Danielle both look at each other, already knowing who is outside ringing the doorbell. Danielle gets up to answer the door but she suddenly whimpers before falling back onto the bed holding her side
"Danielle what's wrong?" I ask while trying to move her hands away but she doesn't budge.
"Baby let me see your side."
"No Hunter I'm fine. Go answer the door."
"Not until I see your side." I say while grabbing her upper arms which causes her to scream before crying more. I lift up her shirt sleeves to see a purple ring around each arm.
"Who did this to you?" I growl out at her.
"It was an accident Hunter, Dalton di-"
"Dalton did this to you!" I growl out while yanking her arms away and lifting her shirt up to see a large footprint covering her ribs.
"Hunter calm down. He was drunk. He didn't know what he was doing. It will be ok. Just please calm down." Danielle says while cupping my face and forcing me to look at her. I try to calm down but it doesn't help. Dalton has officially crossed the line. I jerk away from Danielle before I storm down the stairs to see............. nobody there? Stupid neighborhood kids playing tricks. I shut the door just as I hear a scream from upstairs.
"Danielle? Baby what's wrong?" I ask while running up the stairs. I run into my bedroom to see Danielle curled up in a ball on the ground whimpering.
"What happened angel?" I ask while crouching down beside her to check her for new injuries.
"You stormed out of the room so angry that I wanted to follow you to make sure that you didn't do something stupid, but when I started to run after you, I tripped and fell. I'm sorry Hunter." She whispers out.
"Don't be sorry angel. We need to get you to a doctor though to check you out to make sure you are ok." I say while trying to pick her up in my arms but she whimpers and moves away from me more.
"No I don't wanta go to the doctor! Please don't make me go!" She cries out. I cup her face in my hands to make her look at me.
"Danielle you need to get checked baby. He probably broke a couple of your ribs, judging by the angle of that bruise." I say while looking at her concerned.. She looks back at me with fear written all over her face.
"Hunter... please don't make me go. I'm fine." Danielle says while pushing my hands away from her face.
"Prove it."
~Danielle's P.O.V.~
"Prove it." Hunter said while looking at me with that handsome smirk of his that says that he knows that he is right.
"I will." I say while pulling on the bed to stand up but something moves near my ribcage and feels like its stabbing my lung which causes me to fall to the ground in pain. I soon feel Hunter's stare on me. I look up to see him staring at me with conern and anger filling his face.
"Oops.... I guess I uh...... tripped. Haha." I fake laugh hoping that he would believe it. He didn't. I could tell by the way he narrowed his eyes that he could see through my lies and that he could see how much pain I was truly in.
"Sure you tripped. Now will you let me take you to the hospital so that you can get some help that you have needed for a while?"
"What do you mean some help that I have needed for a while?" I question him.
"I mean that you have umm needed some umm..... uh........ medical help! Yeah, you have needed some medical help for a while angel. Come on, let's get you to the hospital." He says calmingly while reaching down to pick me up. When his arms wrap around my waist, those sharp pains come back three times as worse.
"Hunter...... put me down. Please?" I ask him while trying to keep myself from breaking down in tears again.
"No. We need to get you to the hospital angel." He says cooly as he walks down the driveway to the garage.
"Hunter.... your........ hurting.......... me........." I whimper out between the pain shooting through my body. He stops walking and looks down at me before his face changes from calm, to worried, to angry.
"I'M. GOING. TO. KILL. HIM." Hunter growls out while tightening his grip on me and causing more pain. I whimper more as those stupid tears begin to fall down my face once again. He looks down at me as horror crosses his face.
"Hunter? What's wrong honey?" I say even though it's getting harder to harder to breathe. Everything starts to go blurry as I feel myself being laid down on the soft green grass. I see Hunter's handsome and loving face above me before everything goes black.
