Lilliana's POV

     I saw James' car as I pulled into my driveway. I rolled my eyes.

     I would take stalker dude over you right now. Have you just come to yell at me again?

     I got out of my car and headed straight for the door.

     "LILY! Hey, wait up!" I turned around after reaching the door.

     "What do you want?"

     "You Lily, I want you. Look, I'm sorry for last night. I was really worried about you. You weren't answering anyone's calls an-

     "So what James? I don't need you to hover over me. If I don't answer your calls, it's because I'm busy. You can't just expect me to be available 24/7. It doesn't work that way." I crossed my arms.

     "And I can't help but be worried Lilliana! I care about you. I lov-

     "Don't. If you really loved me, you would understand my feelings right now. And right now, I'm pissed."

     "I know. I'm so sorry Lily," he stepped closer, closing the space between us. "I'm so, so sorry." He leaned in to kiss me. I almost let him but I remembered what he had said to me. I pushed him away.

     "Kissing me is not going to stop the fact that you hurt me James. You called me a whore!" Tears rolled down my cheeks. James went to wipe them but I swatted his hands away.

"Lil-

"ITS LILLIANA TO YOU!"

"Fine! Lilliana, I didn't call you a whore. I just said tha-

"What you said was basically calling me a whore James! You just took it upon yourself to assume I was drunk with a stranger about to let him fuck me." The tears wouldn't stop. I was so hurt. So angry.

"I didn't say it like that Lilliana."

"YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE! Do you even know how much that hurt me?"

"Do you know how much it hurt for you to IGNORE me!?" He was getting angry. His ears were red and his fists were clenched.

"I WASN'T IGNORING YOU! You are acting like a two year old James! For Christ's sake I was saving a CHILD James! So next time there is someone who needs saving I should just tell them, "Wait, hold up! I have to go report to my over bearing friend because he will think I'm ignoring him. You just wait there and die whil-

"ENOUGH!" He slammed my body against the door. His was panting and looked like he was going to kill someone... me.

"If you would have just told me why you were gone-

"I don't have to tell you anything James! I'm an adult. You aren't my father!"

"Your father is DEAD Lilliana! Someone has to take care of you." It felt like he had hit me in the gut. I stared at him, tears pouring down my cheeks. I shook my head at him.

"How dare you." I slapped his face, hard too. "Get the fuck off my property before I call the cops on you."

"No."

"James, I mean it. Get. Off. My. Property."

"AND I SAID NO!" He screamed in my face. "We are NOT done here! He grabbed my hands and slammed my head against the door.

"YOU ARE MINE LILLIANA! Not Coles, not anyone else's. You. Are. MINE!"

What the hell is wrong with him!? This is not the James I know.

"I am not your anything James. Let me go."

"No! Unlock the door."

     "What!? No why?"

     "I said, OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!" He gripped my hands even tighter.

     "I SAID NO!" I kneed him right in the balls and then stomped on his foot. He fell to his knees letting out a grunt. "You're being too emotional James. I wish I would've never kissed you. Leave or I'm calling the cops."

     I hastily unlocked the door and went inside. I went to slam the door shut but it wouldn't close all the way. James was pushing against it. More tears came, I was terrified.

     "I SAID WE AREN'T DONE LILLIANA!"

     "GO AWAY JAMES!" I tried to shut the door with all my body weight but he was too strong. He pushed it open with all his might, knocking me to the ground.

     "You don't get to tell me to leave. I said we aren't finished, I mean it." He grabbed a vase that was on a nearby table. 

     "James, please stop! You don't have to do this. Just go home. You're not right in the head right now."

     "No! I will not be leaving and I am fine! Don't accuse me of being mental! You are a dirty whore and you need to be taught a lesson." He was standing above me. There was no way out and I couldn't get my foot to his crotch either.

I was too slow. He bashed the vase against my head. I let out a blood curdling scream. My head was throbbing. He hit me so hard I fell back onto the floor. He got on his knees and grabbed fistfuls of my hair. He began to bash my head into the marble floor.

So this is how I'm going to die? He's too strong. My head is throbbing. I'm done for.

"You wretched whore!" He kept bashing.

"Get off me!"

"No!" He had let my head go and started choking me. I couldn't breathe.

NO! I have to fight.

I tried to slap him as hard as I could but nothing worked. I could feel myself fading out of consciousness. I reached my hand out and managed to grab a piece of the broken vase. I stabbed him right in the cheek.

He let go and cupped his bloody cheek. I rolled over, gasping for air.

"Ugh! Damn you!" There was blood everywhere. He stood up and left, like nothing was wrong. I was so dizzy, I just wanted to sleep. I started to fade when my phone rang. Lance.

"Hey, when did you say you would be back? Aiden is going stir crazy again. My brother and I can't control him." He chuckled. He had a nice laugh. He was crazy, but he was always so kind. "Lilliana? You there?"

     "Yeah..." I knew I was about to pass out. I needed to do something quick. "Lance I need you to do something for me."

     "You attacked my nuts, nearly killed me with a knife, attacked me over a doughnut, and trapped my head in the window. So let me think. Uh how about-

     "LANCE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! I know I don't know you well, but I'm begging you. I don't have much time left."

     "What's wrong? Where are you?" His tone went from playful to serious real quick.

     "I'm at my house. I need you to call 911 for me."

     "Lilliana what's wrong?"

     "I don't have time Lance. My address..." my sight was going dark. "My... file. Hurry." Every thing went black.
