     Aphmau's POV

      I stood on the deck looking out at the waves like I did every morning. As I did I felt two hands on my hips. I turned around thinking it was Aaron. It wasn't! I shoved off the man who I knew to be a guy named Chase. I had always been suspicious of him. As I looked at him in shock he reached for me again. This time I slapped him. Still he grabbed me and pulled me under the deck and into a room. He reached for me again.

      "Stop! Please... Don't!" I screamed. Suddenly the door flew open. It was Aaron. Chase looked shocked as I ran to Aaron. I hugged him and kissed his cheek.

      "Aaron," I whimpered. I looked at him with tears filling my eyes. He gently kissed the top of my head. 

      "Your ok," He whispered into my ear. I gripped him tightly as he gently let go of me. I saw Aaron grab Chase by his shirt. Aaron pinned him to a wall as I stood there in tears. Suddenly Aaron took a deep breath and dropped Chase. Chase tried to run out but Aaron still wouldn't let him go. I looked at Aaron with tears in my eyes. He turned around to look at me. He saw me with tears in my eyes. I hugged him and he kissed me.

     "It's ok. I love you," He said in a gentle voice. I shivered as he hugged me. 

     "I-I..," My voice trailed off. I looked at him with tears.

     "You're ok. I love you, Darling. I'll keep you safe," He said as I teared up more. Later that day Chase got thrown overboard. I was scared and Aaron helped me calm down.
