"You're worthless. You're such a big disappointment to everyone." he spits at me while tying me to the wooden chair.

"I'm sorry!" I say while sobbing, "Please don't do this. I said I was sorry!"

I can barley breathe as he grabs each of my wrists and ties them down harshly with a big rope. Moments before this John had 3 of his disgusting friends over, I had made them dinner but as usual something went wrong. I tripped over the broken coffee table while bringing his friend, Daniel, a bottle of beer and it went all over him.

"I don't care that you're sorry, you deserve to pay, you embarrassed the fuck out of me!" he says with his face inches apart from mine.

I try to recoil back but he grabs my jaw and spits on my face. "I'm going to make sure you enjoy this" he grins sadistically while pulling my underwear down, I start thrashing my legs, kicking him but it wasn't enough.

I shot up sitting up in my bed, trying to control my breathing I glance towards the clock on my nightstand.

3:47am

I huffed, knowing I'm not going to be able to fall back asleep again after that.

I kick the covers off my legs and walk towards my closet. Quickly just grabbing a random pair of black leggings and a back hoodie that Elijah and I picked up yesterday I get changed to get out of this house and go for a walk.

Closing my bedroom door quietly I aim for the stairs and head towards the door.

Before I get the chance to unlock it I hear quiet hushes coming from the kitchen. I peep my head around and see Zayn, Ace and Massimo all huddled around the table in a heated discussion.

"She doesn't belong here and you know it!" a voice I recognise as Ace loudly whispers across from Massimo, pointing his finger towards him.

"Shes famiglia." is all Massimo responds back.

"This is going to hurt her one day and we can't stop it, she should have never come home!" Ace replied.

Wow okay. I gathered he was a bit cold and distant from me, giving me harsh glares when I walked by him or around the dinner table, but I never realised he must despised my presence this much.

"Bella is weak, shes a piccola ragazza! You knew the risk and the danger of bringing her back but you did it anyway" Zayn piped up, rolling his eyes.

Danger? Weak? Me, Bella weak?

I almost laughed at that.

"Well shes her to stay, she won't know anything about the danger we face or ever be involved, we are going to protect her." Massimo raises his tone at them both. Looking slightly more pissed off.

Protect me from what? Johns dead, the only ones who could hurt me are the ones in this house.

By punishment.

Ace slams his fist on the table and backs off.
"Whatever, but don't think I'm playing the big protective brother role. Bellas not even here as far as I know." He spits out and heads towards the door.

The door I'm watching them through.

I run to the other side of the room under the stairs to get out of his view. This was definitely a conversation they don't need to know I listened to.

Once I hear Ace up the stairs, followed by Zayn, I wait a couple minutes until I hear another pair following them up.

Coast clear.

I unlocked the door, which has about 10 unneeded locks by the way, and head to the front gates.

Now this was the tricky part, getting past security.

I haven't really questioned why my brothers have many big and bulky strange men patrolling the house but I'm thinking they are just paranoid about someone breaking in their very fancy mansion.

I roll my eyes looking at the massive security man sitting, no laying by the front gates of the entrance.

Well he's surely going to get fired for sleeping on the job.

I silently move past him, jumping up over the wall making sure not to make too much noise, and jump down on the other side.

This is childs play.

Walking around clears my mind. I had always gone on walks alone most nights after John, and sometimes his friends punishments once they left or John passed out on the couch. It makes me feel at peace knowing majority of the people around are all tucked up in bed and I have a calm feeling of being alone.

I keep walking for some time, although making sure I'm aware of where I came from to get home, I stumble upon a ledge over looking the big city thats now my home.

Sitting on the edge of the ledge I take a breath, looking down I see a big lake about 70 feet below me, inviting me. Wouldn't be so bad falling to this view.

Wouldn't be bad falling at all.

I sit here for about 15 minutes before I hear some noise behind me, I turn around and see a tall man, boy more like, dressed in black clothes, hood over his head staring at me.

The sun is starting to rise at this point, im guessing it's around 5 in the morning, so with the start of the natural light coming through I can make out his features.

Sharp jaw, green eyes, muscular but not over the top like the lazy security men around the house and he looks like a misfit, very beautiful in some way.

He starts to approach me, I look up and stare into his eyes, questioning look, as to why he's inviting himself over to join me, a stranger.

Before he gets too close and I could start to feel a little nervous that he might push me or something from the blank look on his face he speaks.

"Do you want me to push you?"
