eyes from the night before when he came back drunk and pissed off. He used handcuffs on my feet as they were cutting through my skin on my ankles, my body was unclothed and naked and I couldn't move I struggled against the wire that were cutting my wrists and I couldn't scream with the duct tape covering my mouth. His cold brown eyes looked into my eye teary puffed blue ones. I'm sure I'm going to die here.

He thrusted himself inside me my screams muffled by the tape , tears running down my cheeks as he thrusted again and again I tried to pull my feet away even if I dislocate my ankles I needed to get him off he put his hands around my neck and pushed as he thruster harder I began to cough but they were muffled as well. That evil face had a smile as I coughed. He grabbed a knife from the bedside table. I panicked I screamed I struggled as he slid the blade lightly across my chest and body tears began falling faster the blade cut my skin. "Scream, now no one will hear you," He pulled the tape off my mouth as he pushed in me harder he put the knife against my throat, I tried not to scream to give him the satisfaction, but he got off me. Thinking he was done I relaxed I tried to breathe knowing I'll have purple bruises around my neck. I closed my eyes, suddenly I felt the crack of a whip against my stomach, then my legs then my chest feeling the sticky crimson liquid down my body as I gave an ear splitting scream.
~End of flashback~

Forgetting we were in the lobby of the theatre I screamed, finding myself rolled in the fetal position, tears rolling down my cheeks I was too scared to look up I was too scared to breathe. I felt arms around me pulling me up to his chest I pushed him away not knowing who it was, or caring I ran out of the theatre falling to my knees, as I cried uncontrollably. I heard my name get called but I couldn't bring myself to face anyone.

I heard a cold laugh and it sent shivers down my spine.
Should I stay for James sake, or should I go home?

~THIRD PERSON VIEW~

James tumbled back as Rose pushed him away and ran out without a single glance. She seemed nervous ever since she heard Carson's name. James pushed Carson against the wall with a hand around his throat. "What did you to her?" He grunted out as he put more pressure against Carson's throat, he smirked and looked him dead in the eye. "She's my pet," he smirked. "Meaning?" James was getting annoyed. "Meaning she had to as I desire, and she ran away, looks like she will have to be punished again, but way worse then before, I'm her master she will comply, unless she wants to die," he smirked. James let him go and ran out to where Rose was gone, panicking he called out her name, but no answer. Finally he found her lying in a ball in a parking lot, he picked her up bridal style as she was still crying. Suddenly I heard Carson laugh. I turned around to see him with a smirk on his face. "You can't hide behind James forever kitten, I will find a way to kill you,"

~back to first perspective~

I felt safe in James arms, but I knew he was right. I couldn't hide behind James forever, because I know one day he will leave my side as well. I looked up at James face he was shaking. Did he know? Did Carson tell him? I got out of James arms but he pulled me back protectively. "I can tell by the look on your face you have no idea what he's been up to. He's been abusing me while you two been together that first year, I got away, and I suggest you never go down into his basement,"  I turned back to james, but I didn't look at him, I was too embarrassed. "Can you please take me home?" I could see he was hurt, but I didn't care I needed to get away, even if that meant screaming and yelling against my father.  He nodded and opened the door, Caleb laughed. "I know where you live, kitten, remember that," he had a sly smirk on his face. Then looked at his girlfriend who was now pale white. I swallowed hard and got in the car. With the amount of force he slammed the car door closed means he's furious. Oh no. He came around to the drivers side, but before he came into the car he spoke. "You touch her, I'll kill you," he spoke through clenched teeth, Carson laughed with a big smile on his face, shaking his head as he talked. "I'm not afraid of you, James, and she belongs to me I can touch her in any way I desire, isn't that right kitten?" I just shook my head. "I-I'm not yours Carson,"

James got in and started the car and we drove off, I played with my hands as we sat in silence, but the anger was radiating off of him. "What did he do to you," he was gripping the steering wheel hard enough his knuckles turned white, my breath was shaky. He kidnapped me, he said he was doing of out of love, that he loved me, which at first I believed because of my dad, and I was forced out of a relationship with him, but when we got back to where he lived, he took me by my hair and pushed me down the stairs into the basement. There was a door leading to the room I was forced to live in, he stripped me down to nothing, and he, he,~" I couldn't speak anymore the memories were like shards of glass pushing deep, deeper into your skin.

"Back then were you still innocent?" I looked at him confused. "In-innocent?' James looked between me and the road. "I'm asking if you were a virgin, Rose," I nodded looking back down my hands in my lap. "I'm going to kill him," the rest of the ride home was silent. Driving into the driveway I noticed the lights still on. The car stopped and I began to get out of the car, but James grabbed my wrist. "You can't stay here, at least not for a little while, Caleb is after you and I'll kill him if he even comes close, I need you to tell your father what's happening, then I want you to pack for the next few days,  I want you to call a taxi and meet me here, I'm going to go park my car a block away and come back alright?" Before I could object he was pushing me out of the car, by before he let me go he put chaste kiss on my forehead. I sighed and got out of the car and walked up to the front door, I looked back where James sat with a nervous smile. I walked through the door, and quietly headed up the stairs and into my room, to my surprise to Tanner sitting down on my bed. "You were gone a long time," I walked over to my closet and took a big bag, not very fancy but it's going to have to do, I began throwing my clothes in the bag. "I'm going to be gone for a while longer," he got up from the bed. "Don't tell me you're moving in with him, you two only had one date," he incredulously spoke. "No, actually Caleb found me and is trying to kill me, so I have to leave for a little while, and I know I said this a thousand times, but thank you for getting me out of there back then," he looked shocked mad and ready to kill, just like James did.

"Oh, talking about me already?" Caleb said chuckling behind me. I didn't want to turn around, so instead I bolted out the door of my room throwing heavy things behind me hoping they will hit me. Dad tried to stop me by the door, yelling at me, but it was too late to explain, hoping James didn't leave yet, running to the driveway. Thankfully his car was still there I jumped in the car. "Go, go, go, he's here!" I through my bag upon the back of the car and we sped quickly of onto the road. "I knew I shouldn't have taken you to that house, I knew but I wanted you to explain to your dad," he yelled through clenched teeth. "I didn't even get to do that, I got my clothes and stuff and ran,"

He sighed pushing a hand through his hair. "I'm taking the car home, were calling a taxi and going to the hotel that way, besides I need a few things as well, since school and all," I raised an eyebrow. "You're going to stay with me?" He scoffed. "You're not staying by yourself with that psycho after you," I sighed. "I hid from him for three years I think I'll be okay James ," I shook my head looking out the window. Suddenly the car stopped and James pulled my face to look at his his green eyes deadly serious. "You didn't do too good of a job if he knows where you live and can and will kill you if he gets to you, I swear to god I'll rip his damn heart out while it's still beating, now you listen to me, you're not leaving my sight, got it," he sneered venom dripping from his words, goose bumps now covering my arms from the chills that went through me, I feel safe though. I nodded, he let my face go and began driving again. His eyes on the road again, the rest of the drive to his house was quiet. His eyes were full of  rage and determination. He drove up into the driveway, he parked the car and got out and came on my side and opened the door on my side, he held his hand out to help me out, I took it and got it out of the car. He shut the door and held me against the car, his hands either side of my head. His eyes turned sorrowful but his jaw clenched and unclenched his green eyes poured into mine he leaned in and kissed me, I just closed my eyes. Could he be the one, I never felt this way before.  "Come on," he took my hand and began walking us up to the front door, he went in his pocket for his keys.
He quickly unlocked the door pulling me inside not letting my hand go, the door accidentally slammed behind us. He took me into the living room where his mother was sitting. She looked up a hot drink in hand. She gave us a smile, I kindly tried to do one back, as nervous as I am. "Mom this is Rose, were staying at a hotel tonight. Carson is after her, so we're keeping the car here and taking a taxi, I'll be back after school tomorrow, could we borrow the money? Were calling the police as soon as we get there, you should if he shows up." He explained, I thought we were keeping that from her but apparently not. The lady got out of her seat, and went and got her purse. "Why is he going after her?" She asked going through it. James hand tightened around mine. "He used her mom, abused her, before I ever met her, so now I'm keeping her safe." She suddenly stopped and looked at me. I felt embarrassed from the stare. "Carson, as in
