Sinful Roses

I was hiding in a closet as Louis looked for me.

"Get the fuck out here, Rose!", he snapped.

I remained quiet.

Louis has been attacking me all day.

He's been punching and kicking me like I'm a man or something.

"I won't put my hands on you if you come out. Swear.", he urged.

But he had already tried that one on me today.

"Well...I really swear this time.", I heard him chuckle.

He was getting close and I was holding my breath.

I don't understand why he is doing this or when it will end.

I didn't even know where my fucking phone was.

This had to have been a nightmare.

I heard banging on the front door as I was in my thoughts and footsteps walking away from me.

"Grey, what do you need?", Louis asked.

I could barley hear him but I strained to.

Grey spoke but I could barely hear him.

No more sitting back, this was my chance.

Busting out the closet, I ran towards the front door.

"Grey! Grey!", I shouted his name.

Grey looked over Louis's shoulder and when he saw me, his eyes got big.

"What the fuck is going on!", He yelled beginning to take a step in.

Louis quickly slammed the front door and grabbed me in a choke hold.

"Bitch, are you crazy?", he asked me.

He squeezed on my neck so tight, I could not get any words out.

Grey banged on the door before it sounded like he was trying to kick it in.

Lord, please.

I do not want to die.

"I hate you for what you did

And I miss you like a little kid

I faked it every time, but that's alright

I can hardly feel anything, I hardly feel anything at all

You gave me fifteen hundred to see your hypnotherapist

I only went one time, you let it slide

Fell on hard times a year ago

Was hoping you would let it go and you did"

"Hey, Rose. Are you okay, mama?", Gabe asked me.

I could hear him but it hurt to open my eyes.

"Gabe, it hurts.", I cried.

I felt him grab my hand and squeeze it.

"I know.", he sighed.

"We are going to get through this together though.", he finished.

"Where is Louis?", I asked.

"Don't worry about him. He's having a mental check out so we are going to keep him far away from you.", I heard Leo say.

"Leo, I'm so sorry.", I cried.
