"No no, please stop!" I was woken up with the sound of Madi yelling beside me
"Madi! Wake up!" I shook her repeatedly, her eyes shot open and her breathing was heavy, a few tears trailed down her face
I held her close
"It was just a dream, it's okay, just a dream" i reassured her, soon her breathing started to calm down before she spoke
"I'm so scared vic, whenever I close my eyes.....he's there, he always there" i nodded and held her tighter
"Don't worry he won't touch you ever again okay" I looked down at her, she nodded and burrowed her head in my chest, he hurt her so much and he was going to pay, eventually

*Madi POV*
Vic had just left to go rehearse, I sat there in silence staring at a blank tv screen unsure of what I would do
I was so scared to close my eyes even for a second knowing that he would appear and I never wanted to see him again
we lost the court case, he was free, he could roam around the streets without a care in the world and that terrified me, I preferred when vic was home, I felt safe, like nothing could hurt me, he would protect me, but when he was gone my mood instantly changed I locked all the doors and stayed in the same place for hours, sometimes I would go upstairs to do one of my cutting sessions but other wise I was a statue without vic

I slowly dragged my feet upstairs and pulled out my blades, vic went through my mind as I sliced my wrists but how else was I supposed to release everything I was feeling?

All of a sudden I heard a noise coming from downstairs, I threw my blades back in the cupboard and slowly walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs not caring that blood was dripping from my wrists onto the floor with every step I took, my heart was beating a million mile an hour as I grabbed a knife and slowly turned the corner, I saw a tattooed covered figure climbing through the window, he looked up and I saw Tony's face
I breathed out a sigh of relief, dropping the knife and rushing over to hug him

"Hey, be careful with the knife and why is everything locked, you normally leave the back door unlocked for us to come in?" He said as he hugged me back
"Uh, well-" he cut me off, before I could finish and he grabbed my arm not caring that blood was all over his now
"Never mind that, what is this?" His voice broke a bit as he choked the words out
"Does vic know?" He questioned
"Yeah..." I said quietly
"Madi, why?" His voice trailed off as he grabbed some cloth and cleaned up my arm
I trusted tony, with everything, he was so easy to talk to and was always there for me when I needed someone, he always understood so I decided to tell him
"I'm sick of being like this, I just feel so unlucky, like why did it have to happen to me?" I stopped talking and I let the tears fall, he then wrapped his arms around me
"Wait, what happened?" He asked, I then remembered, he didn't know

"Then he started to undress me an-" I couldn't finish, the memories were too painful to retell, I put my head down and stared at the floor
"Its okay, you don't have to tell me" he rubbed my back

"No. I-I have to, I need to let it out" I swallowed hard and continued

Once I finished telling him, he hugged me tight
"Don't worry he won't ever hurt you again" he tried to reassure me

"You don't know that tony, we lost the case, he's free and god knows when he will come after me again" I choked out

"Even if he does we won't let him touch you, I won't let him, I promise" he rubbed my back and hugged me tightly, I nodded and hugged him back

"Hate to kill the moment but where's vic?" He asked
"Um, I thought he was with you, he said you guys were going to rehearse" I was confused, why would he lie to me?
"Uh, yeah we were, but he didn't show up so that's why I came by" he replied, that explained why tony was here but where was vic?

Mike POV
I walked through the door of my parents house only to find vic crying on the couch and mama and papa surrounding him, I stepped back so they couldn't see me and listened in

"Mum, I don't know what to do, she hurts herself all the time and it hurts me too, it's triggering and you know how hard it was to stop, all I want to do is be there for her but she won't let me in, I'd do anything to make her happy' he started sobbing harder
"I feel so helpless" he ran his hands through his hair before he added
"I love her so much" he completely broke down, letting his head hang low and his hands covering his face

This saddened me a lot, to see my brother in so much pain, its obvious he loves her, at rehearsals all he does is talk about her, and it's obvious he's in a lot of pain
they started talking again and I focused back in on there conversation

"We had a small.....a small fight, she left and went to her dads house........he's abusive, by the time I got there...h-he was trying to rape her" he said between sobs
"She's traumatised, she hardly talks or eats and she never smiles anymore, she always cold, just not herself and I hate seeing her like that, I mean, it's understandable but I'm trying so hard, so hard to be there for her" he finished, letting the last of his tears fall before returning back to himself, wiping his eyes and controlling his breathing, but he still sat there emotionless

what did I just witness?

*Madi POV*
Tony left a while ago after calling vic and telling me that he was on his way, It made me feel better he was coming back but where did he go if he wasn't with the guys, I didn't know if I should be angry or not but I just waited till he got home, he walked through the door with puffy red eyes and tear stained cheeks, straight away I ran over to him and hugged him
"What's wrong?" I asked, normally he was the one comforting me but this time he needed the comforting
He walked away from me and sat on the couch
"I don't know what to do madi, I'm here for you every minute of the day, trying to help you through everything but I can't help you if you don't help yourself, it's like you don't even want to be happy" he said in a cold voice, no emotion
What he said hit me hard, is that really what he thinks about me?
That I don't want to be happy?
Of course I do it's just hard, really hard

I stood there without a word, he walked past me and up the stairs, a tear rolled down my cheek
"I'm sorry" I whispered

*Vic POV*
I didn't know what to do, maybe I wasn't enough, maybe i'm nothing to her, maybe she doesn't want help, the feeling of sadness overwhelmed me as I turned to a friend I hadn't associated with in a long time.... the blade

I held it to my wrist and looked at the faded scars I did years ago, as I was about to do it I heard a huge crash downstairs, i immediately threw the blade down and ran downstairs in complete fear, what I saw made my heart skip a beat

There was madi's dad holding a gun to her head...
