Her nose scrunches up as she flips a page over. Her caramel eyes followed the lines printed on the page, making them move side aways.

I hate to admit it but she was really beautiful. 

Her phone begins to vibrate on the coffee table. I read the screen from here and notice it was flashing 'No Caller ID'. She flips herself up from the couch and reaches out to grab her phone.

"Hello?" Her peacefully look is suddenly replaced with a confused look. "What do you mean?" She gasps, slamming her hand over her mouth. "What do you mean he's on the loose?" Fear rushed into her eyes and she nods as she listens to whoever was talking to her.  

She finally removes the phone from her ear and turns over to her Grandma, who just walked in, probably from the sudden random outburst of triggering words. 

"What's wrong sweetie?" Her grandma says 

Dee hesitates to speak and looks up at her. "I-It's Dad." She looks down at her phone and bites her lip.  "He broke out of Jail last night," She announced. 

My eyes widen. Her dad was in Jail? How do I not know about this?!

Dee's grandma gasps. "Fuck," As powerful as the moment was, I chuckle a little at the curse word that left her mouth. 

Dee snaps her head at me and stands up. "You find this fucking funny? You find murder on the loose funny?!" She screams at me in pure rage. 

Her father was in jail for murder? 

"Dee, calm down, sweetie." Her grandma gently pats her back.  

She moves away from her. "Do you know what he could be doing right now?! He's probably tracking us down, Grandma!" She falls onto the couch. "I-I can't let things go back to how it was before......" Dee's voice cracked.  

I see her Grandma looking at me for some sort of moral help. 

Great, how am I meant to do that? I don't even morally support myself.

"Sweetie, just relax, ok? I'm going to go out to the police station and see what information they have on him." She nods at me to keep an eye on Dee.

The house becomes quiet as soon as she leaves. 

"Six" Dee sniffs. 

"What?" I say in confusion. 

"I was six when I mother died," She clarifies further. 

I feel sorrow wash down on me. "I'm sor-" 

"-F-from that day. I was b-beaten by my own father. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month. Y-year after year." She cries harder 

I kneel down in front of her and grab her hands. "Just know that you're safe as long as I'm here," There was a six sense of mine approaching my veins, in the act of anger.  

How could a father do something so reckless to his own daughter? 

She down at me and nod. Tears well from her eyes, making them turn slight red. 

I sit up next to her and in the swift motion of my hand, I place her on my lap. She leans her head on my chest, making my heart's pace quicken. "I'll keep you save from that asshole...I promise". I didn't need to say anything. 

Dee sobbed in my chest and I rubbed her back calming her down. 

She never deserved any of this.

Dee's P.O.V

My mind ignores the small exploding pit I felt in my stomach, none of which is for the fear of the fact my father could burst through those doors in a matter of seconds and kill me.

This feeling was from the fact that Kaz was currently running his hands through my hair and rubbing my back as a sign of comfort. 

I don't wanna fall for him. I really really don't want to fall for him. 

I look up at him and he looks down at me with a small smile. He was hiding the fact he was fuming inside. I could just by hearing his heartbeat. "Don't worry," He frowns at me. "You don't have to get angry over it. It's not worth it."I whisper.  

"He hurt you, Dee..."  

"That was the past, I can't change it and neither can you," I stood up from his lap and walk up to my room, while Kaz follows behind me. 

I open the door and look behind me, before walking in. "Thank you, Kaz," I praise him for being here.  

He walks in and closes the door, leading me to my own bed. "Get some rest, ok?"

There was a part of me which wanted to ask him to stay, but I knew I couldn't do that. He's already done so much for me.
