Chapter 2

"J-Jacob, please don't do this again." He ignored me and pushed me to the ground. "I knew you were cheating on me." "I barely know him!" Lies. "Bulls*** Mitchie!!" He slapped me hard, making me wince. I backed into the corner, trying to get away. I discretely felt around my pockets and found exactly what I needed. My pocket knife. Thank god I still have it from the last time he attacked me. I pulled it out and pointed it at him. "And what are you going to do with that?" I whimpered and while he glanced away, I sliced him. Right on the face. "AH! You little b****!" I took off running up the stairs and hid in the bedroom. I pulled out my phone and tried calling 911, but it was dead. "OPEN THE DOOR." I backed into the corner and got the knife back out. The door burst open and he ran over to me. He pinned me against the wall, trapping me. "THIS IS FOR CHEATING ON ME!" He slapped me across the face. "AND THIS IS FOR CUTTING ME." He grabbed his own knife and cut me on the neck and arm. Tears streamed down my face. "YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING AGAIN. YOU HEAR ME?" "Y-Yes." "Yes what?!" "Y-Yes s-sir." He let go, letting me free. "That's what I thought. Now, fix me lunch." I slowly nodded and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I made him a turkey sandwich and brought it up to him. "Finally. Now leave. Go downstairs. I don't want to see you." I nodded and went downstairs. I found my charger in the living room and plugged up my phone. Once it came on, I saw I had 20 missed calls from Liam. I called him as soon as possible. "Who was that? Are you alright?" "I'm fine...I can't keep coming to see you..." "Why? Was it something I did?" "No, you were perfect...it's just..." "Just what? He's your boyfriend isn't he?" "Y-yeah..." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I don't know...I'm scared to leave him..." "Why? Does he hurt you?" "Umm...no." "Quit lying to me." "Listen Liam, I've gotta go." "Wai-" I hung up and put my phone in my pocket. I just can't deal with this. I can't deal with him or Jacob....I just don't know...

I cried for a while, just letting emotion take over. "MITCHIE!" I ran upstairs quickly. "Yes sir?" "I'm finished." I nodded and took his dishes downstairs and washed them. The home phone started ringing so I answered after a while of ringing. "Hello?" "Mitch, listen to me. Is he hurting you?" "No..." "Mitchie..." "Fine. Yes he does." "Oh god. Why didn't you tell me before?!" "He said if I ever told he'd kill me!" "Alright. Calm down. I'll get rid of him." "No Liam. You'll get hurt." "And you're getting hurt now. How long has he been doing this?" "Since we started dating...about 4 months ago." "Mitchie!!" "I know Liam I'm sorry. I just-" "MITCHIE! Who's that on the phone?!" "Um it's a wrong number!" "Alright!" "Li, I have to go." "Text me..." "Alright." I hung up and felt my phone vibrating already. I opened it to see a message from Liam:

"When does he leave the house? Xx"

"He usually doesn't..."

After about a minute, he replied.

"Um...we'll work it out I promise alright? Xx"

"Alright thanks Leeyum."

"You're welcome babe. :) Xx"

"I have a confession..."

"Yeah? Xx"

"Promise you won't laugh?"

"Pinkie Promise! :) Xx"

"I like someone..."

"Who? Xx"

"Um...Never mind..."

"Well now you have to tell me! Xx"

"No!"

"At least give me a hint! Xx :D"

"Um...you know him..."

"Is it Louis? Xx"

"Ew! Nope!"

"Haha...Harry? Xx"

"Nope!"

"Ugh...um okay how about Niall??

"Nope! :) You're horrible at this!"

"It's hard! I don't know who you like! Xx"

"Well obviously."

"Um Zayn? Xx"

"Malik?"

"How many Zayn's do you know?lol Xx"

"5 to be exact. :) lol and nope not him either!"

"Crap! They're like the only ones I can think of that we both know! Xx"

"There's one more!"

"I have no clue! Will you just tell me? Please? Xx"

"Nope!"

"You're difficult. Xx"

"And you have fuzzy hair. Gotta go Li! :)"

"Alright bye babe. :) Xx"

I just need to relax. At least Liam's on my side.

******Later That Night******

I looked down at my bruises and cuts from that day. All of my body ached when I moved. Luckily, Liam was planning on coming over tomorrow. "Mitchie?!" "Y-Yeah..." "Make me some supper." "Yes sir." I went downstairs and made him some spaghetti. I brought it up to him, along with a glass of water. "WHAT DID I TELL YOU?! YOU LITTLE SLUT!! YOU'RE WANTING TO LEAVE ME FOR YOUR NEW BOYFRIEND!" "I umm..." I set down his food and snatched my phone from his hands. He had read our messages. "YOU TWO ARE DATING AREN'T YOU?" "N-No!" "Why did he call you 'babe'?" "I-I don't know..." "DO NOT LIE TO ME!!" I took off out of the room and into the bathroom. I called Liam hurriedly. "Hello?" "L-Liam, please come over now. I can't wait any longer. H-He's mad again because he saw our messages." "Okay, I'll be right there Mitch. Keep yourself safe until I get there alright?" "A-Alright." I hung up and put it back in my pocket and let the tears that I had been trying so hard to hold in, pour out. "MITCHIE!!!" He banged on the door hard and loud. It wouldn't be long before the locked door would bust open. BANG BANG BANG! After a few minutes, he came bursting into the room. I started shivering in fear as he came closer. "You thought you could get away with this didn't you? Well, you thought wrong." He raised a pistol. I closed my eyes, waiting for him to shoot. "GET AWAY FROM HER!!" I opened my eyes and saw Jacob getting tackled by Liam. "OF COURSE YOU CALL HIM!! YOU LITTLE SLUT!!" "Don't you DARE talk about her like that!" Liam punched him in the face and wouldn't stop. "Li-" "Get the gun!" I scrambled over and pried the gun from Jacob's hands. Liam grabbed the gun from my hands and pointed it at Jacob. "If you EVER touch her again, you're dead. Got it?" Jacob nodded frantically. "Good. Now leave!!" Jacob got up and ran out the door, his tires squealing as he drove off. "Are you okay love?" Liam asked as he ran to me. I slowly nodded and then shook my head. He pulled me into his arms and wiped the tears off my cheeks. "L-Li, will you stay over?" "Of course Mitch." "T-Thanks. For everything." "You know I'd always protect you. You're my best friend!" I laughed lightly and hugged him. He smiled as he embraced me. "I guess you're ready to go to bed huh babe?" I nodded and pulled him into my room. "Are you okay sleeping in that?" I asked, pointing to his clothes. "They're alright I guess. But I'm not leaving you alone." "Sleep in your boxers. I know that's how you sleep anyway." "If you don't think it'd be weird." "It's just like you wearing swimming trunks." He smiled and took off his skinny jeans, while I found some pajamas. "I'll be right back. I'm going to go change." "Alright." I went into the bathroom and changed quickly. I went back to my bed and looked up to see Liam leaving. "Where are you going?" "The couch...?" "No! Sleep in here!" He smirked and walked over. "Yay!" He laughed and got under the blankets. "Liam what if he comes back?" "He won't be able to find you-" "Yes he will! He knows where I live!" "You didn't let me finish love. You'll be with me. You're moving in with me and Niall." "Liam! No! That's sweet but no! I don't want to do that to you two!" "I don't mind and Niall doesn't mind! I already talked to him about it!" "I don't know..." "Please? It'll give me peace at mind to know you're safe." "......alright." "Yes! Thank you!" "You're welcome...?" He laughed lightly and pulled me close. "Now will you tell me who you like?" "No!" "Why not? I just saved you babe." He gave a fake pout. I rested my head on his bare chest. He was right...ugh. "Umm...you." "Really?!" "Umm yeah..." "I like you too Mitchie!" "Really?" "Duh!" We both smiled and he kissed my head. "Will you be my girlfriend?" "Nope." He wrinkled his eyebrows together and opened his mouth. "W-Why?" "Yes you idiot." He smiled this time and kissed me on the lips. "Thank you." "I didn't do anything Li." "Yes you did. You agreed to be my girlfriend." I smiled and kissed his hand, which immediately intertwined with mine. Well, now Jacob's gone and I've got Liam...:)
