Chapter Seven

"Ruby, get the f*ck out." He growled.

She looked at me with tears in her eyes and I gave her a small nod.

After she left, he moved his hand down to my neck.

"You know why we got into that fight?" He asked bringing his face close to mine.

I remained silent.

"It's because I told him the truth. I told him that you're my b*tch. He didn't appreciate that which tells me that there's something going on that's more than friendly."

"I'm not yours." I growled.

"Not yet." He smirked as began to slide his hand up my shirt.

I spat in his face and he hit me again.

Without a second thought I brought my knee up and kneed him in the groin. He dropped to the ground. I brought my knee up again and nailed him the nose this time.

I took that window of time and ran out of the room. Ruby was in the hallway so I grabbed her.

"We have to go. Now."

"Your face." She said.

"We haven't got time. We can't stay there any longer." I said. My face throbbed though.

We ran down the steps and out the front door. It was pouring the rain down.

We had just made to the street when Andrew came out of the house with a bloody nose.

"Where to?"

"Just run." I said.

So we ran. We ran and ran until we came across a familiar place. We knocked on the door until he came to the door.

"What happened to you?" He asked as we got inside.

We were soaked and freezing cold from the rain and I was a bit bloody.

"Can you call Val and Enzo?" Ruby asked.

"Of course." Carlo said.

He called but they didn't answer.

"No answer. What do we do now?"

"I don't know. Andrew and/or Ernie could be outside anywhere."

"I have place to take you. Best place to go when in trouble. Come with me." Carlo said.

We followed him out the back to his car. We got in and he took off down the street.

A few minutes later, we arrived at an apartment building. It was a very nice apartment building.

"Come on." He said climbing out.

He had brought a box with him. It was a fairly small box.

"I was about to leave to come here when you showed up. Perfect timing, huh?" He said as we walked up to the door.

"Carlo," the doorman said as he opened the door.

We got in the elevator and went all the way up to the top floor. The doors opened and there was just a small hallway that lead to a set of double doors.

He knocked twice and waited.

"Don't be afraid. You're safe now." He said just as the doors opened.

"We've been waiting on you." The person said before looking at Ruby and I. "Oh my goodness."

"I didn't know where else to take them and I was already on my way over. Val and Enzo didn't answer their phones."

"Bring them inside." The lady said. She was really beautiful. "I'll get Vince."

She disappeared from the doorway and Carlo motioned us inside.

"Who is she?" Ruby asked.

"Val and Enzo's mom."

"And Vince is their dad?"

"Yes. They won't hurt you." He said.

She came back a minute later with a very big man behind her. He was hauntingly beautiful and scary.

"I didn't know where else to go. I don't know where the boys live." Carlo said to the man who I assumed was Vince.

He opened his mouth to respond. I assumed he was going to be angry. I mean Carlo brought two girls to his front door who are soaking wet and one is bleeding.

I grabbed Ruby's hand in mine and squeezed it tight.

If he asked for us to leave then we'd have nowhere else to go.
