{Rose's P.O.V.} {edited}

WARNING VIOLENCE
"D-dad," I stutter out. I hurriedly got up and walked over to him. He clenched his teeth in an angry snarl at him and gripped my arm. I shot a glance at Liz with the best 'help me' facial expression that I could muster until my dad yanked my arm turning me around. When I was looking at Liz all that happened was she smiled waving goodbye, obviously not seeing my S.O.S. He walked me out of the hospital, never letting go until we got to the car. My heart was pounding and my hands were sweaty and clammy. What was he doing here? Why is he so angry? The entire care ride was silent screaming. I was about to have a panic attack, thinking of what was going to happen. His driving was scary, stopping abruptly and going too fast, I thought he was intoxiacted. When we got home my father shoved me through the doorway and slammed the door, and started yelling.

{Luke's P.O.V.}

The doctors had finished checking everything, I was fine but they wanted to keep me for another night just to make sure I was okay. I had changed into my clothes that m mom had brought, and I was allowed visitors. My mom came in with the boys. We all exchanged hugs and they started saying about what I missed. I learned Rose had been staying at Ashtons and when he gave me another hug he whispered how he knew about Rose.

"On the topic of Rose where is she?" I ask my mother.

"Oh her father came and took her away, he looked kinda angry," my mom says shrugging. I sit up straight fear courses through my body.

"Rose promised after Luke woke up we could tell somebody, Liz you shouldn't have let her go!" Ashton exclaims surprising me. 

"Rose's father is abusive, remember when she came to our house and we were going to take her to the hospital because she fell down the stairs? She didn't fall, her father pushed her," I say swinging my legs over the side of the bed. Liz gasps, putting her hand over her mouth.

"We need to call the cops," she says getting her phone out. I go to stand up but Michael grabs my shoulders lightly.

"Luke you need to stay here, you just woke up from a coma for gods sake." I shake my head pushing past him.

"No, I need to go over there right now," I say walking out the door. The boys follow me and I hear mom talking on the phone with somebody. We all pile into Ashtons car, and he drives off to Rose's house.

Rose's P.O.V.

"Why the fuck haven't you been home? Every things a mess and I finally tracked you down you little bitch," he says taking a swing at my head. I stumble from the impact but I don't fall. He starts walking towards me menacingly but I run, theres a backdoor upstairs. When I get to it all my hope disapears, the knob is missing. I hear a laugh behind me.

"I thought of that, you can't run now." He comes at me but I try to run by going around but he grabs me and slams me against the wall. I crumple and hit the ground. He kicks me, and I let the first tear shed.

"That's for leaving. That's for your grades. That's for-" he goes on, kicking me harder every time. I can feel my conscious wavering, every blow announcing a more painful agony. It stops for a moment and I sigh, but then panic when I feel someone picking me up and slamming me against the wall. He starts punching my stomach knocking the air out of me making me wheeze, gasping for air. He slaps me and drops me, and I become a pile on the floor. I try to crawl away but he kicks me onto my back Suddenly, his face is right in mine and I can small alcohol on his breath.

"Don't.  Move." He turns on his heel and struts out. I look up and see my mothers face.

"Help me," I wheeze out, but she turns away walking out. Everything is hurting, aching, I want to die. I hear a slapping noise and look up to see my father has a belt.

"Please, no! Please leave me alone, don't do this!" I plead but to no avail. I see him raise his arm preparing to strike and I look away shielding myself ... but the blow never comes. A siren reaches my ears, and I hope to god its for this house. 

"Got your friends to call the cops? Oh well you will regret that Rose," he says striking me with the belt. I scream out again and again as he whips me. He stops and throws it to the ground, kicking me one last time. 

"This won't be the last of me Rose," he says before smashing his way out the backdoor and running. I hear banging on the door downstairs and I try to call out for help but my voice comes out dry and course. It bursts open and I hear thundering up the stairs. I see a pair of familiar blue eyes and smile, the best I could in agonizing pain.

"Luke he went out-,"

"Shhh Rose, don't talk, we need to get you to a hospital," Luke says silencing me. He backs away out of my vision and I try to reach out but a few pairs of hands grab me, causing me to panic. I start to flail but cringe and curl up in a ball, the pain making me scream out. The hands lift me and the aching in my body is too much and the world fades into black.
