said "im not leaving, i'll be here to protect you when he comes tonight" I couldn't even look at Ryan and tell him what he did earlier that day. I just nodded my head. It had to have been at least 2am when Jason came bursting into my room, he looked at me then Ryan, his eyes went cold. He came over and yanked me away from him which caused Ryan to stand up and say "HEY DON'T TOUCH HER LIKE THAT" and Jason pushed me into the wall causing me to smack my entire side and damaged ribs, i gasped at the pain and slid to the floor. He took a step towards Ryan " i will touch her however i please " he smiled then winked at me laughing. Thats when it hit ryan and he just snapped, Charging Jason and hitting him so hard he fell to the floor. He kept hitting him till he was unconscious and the walked over and picked me up on the floor setting me down on the bed, He grabbed my backpack and started filling it with all of my stuff, i glanced at him "what are you doing rye?" he looked at me, "you are not staying here with THAT" he pointed at Jason. i stumbled over and grabbed Harley's favorite stuffed animal, putting it carefully in my backpack. Ryan grabbed my arm and sighed, 'you ready to go' he asked. I nodded looking back at my room, i knew i was going to have to come back because i have no way to support myself. But A few days away from the abuse to heal would be nice.


Chapter 5.

I had been at Ryan's house for over a week when Jason called me and said it was time for me to come home or he'd call the cops, at first i told him to shove it and call them. But i finally decided to go home and just try and avoid him the best i could. Walking into the house felt completely empty without Harley there and it appeared my mother had skipped out on us with one of her boyfriends again. I got some water and walked up to my room, everything was trashed, my bed flipped upside down, papers, my clothes everywhere. I slowly started to put everything back when i heard Jason come in, He looked at me and asked if i was okay. I nodded and continued to put stuff back together. Without another word he walked out, i looked at the door way stunned. No yelling, no fighting? no swinging. 'weird' i thought to myself. I walked over to my dresser and pulled it open. noticing the $5,000 i had saved up to get away from this place was gone. I fell to the floor, and hugged my knee's and sobbed. After an hour of just crying i decided to do something about it, i stood up walking down the stairs, pushed Jason's door open with a huge clunk and threw my empty wallet at him. He looked up at me with pure anger and hatred "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING" i looked at him. 'HOW COULD YOU, ALL MY LIFE SAVINGS JASON WHERE IS IT' He looked at me blankly 'i dont know what your talking about Amanda' i walked towards him clenching my fist he smirked '' do it i dare you" he replied. I ignored him and started searching through his stuff, he grabbed me by my arm and tossed me out of his room following behind. I hit the wall so hard i slid to the ground. He stood above me, "dont you ever go through my stuff you little bitch" he replied. i wouldn't look at him, so he got down eye level with me and grabbed my chin and forced me too look into his pale eyes, he was still smiling " didn't you notice moms gone manda?" he smirked again even harder this time. "im sure she took it, and she's not coming back this time" he stood up slowly still watching me. i gasped quietly knowing it was true, He laughed quietly and said " you really are stuck with me this time " before he turned around and walked into his room closing the door behind him.


Chapter 6.

I sat against that wall for a good half hour while his words set in. I looked at his door, shaking 'i really am stuck this time' i thought 'i really am on my own with this monster now'. By the time i stood up and walked to my room i could barely feel my body at all. I was shaking and i felt like i was complete dead weight. Ryan was sitting on my bed waiting when i entered and all i saw was his figure. I jumped and started to stumble back when he stood up and grabbed me softly whispering "its okay baby girl it's just me" i instantly melted in his arms. Sobbing he sat and held me looking concerned, all i could manage to say between my sobs is "she left me, she really left me this time" I knew he could tell what was wrong because he instantly tightened his grip on me and set his chin on my head. He lightly lifted my chin and had me look at him, "what are you going to do Amanda" he asked lightly "You here by yourself with Jason" This is bad Amanda this is bad. He stood up pulling me with him lightly, he sat me down on the bed and began pacing my bedroom while scratching his head. "I cant allow you to stay here by your self, especially at night, what if he comes in here and he-he He comes in here and he" he sighed loudly. I stood up and walked over to him placing my hand on his cheek. "i'll be okay Ryan, i cant leave he'll report me as run away" i whispered. He looked at me with sorrow in his eyes, "ill stay here every night" he replied "i cant allow him to hurt you, i - i love you manda, more than anything in this world" i smiled a truthful smile at him and said "i love you too baby" and with that he kissed me, not just a normal little kiss like we usually shared but a long, sweet passionate kiss that turned heated within minutes. There i was in his arms my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms around his neck, running my fingers through his short hair. He laid me down softly onto the bed climbing on top of me careful not to touch any of my bruises to roughly. We didn't go all the way, But i was happy and ended up sleeping molded perfectly together, me in his strong arms. I woke up at dawn and looked up at him, He was my savior, and i couldn't help but worry that one day he would hurt me or leave me just like everyone else in my life. He opened his eyes softly and grinned at me, kissing me softly. So he said "i guess this means were officially together" i couldn't help but smile, "really?" i replied. He nodded. placing his hand on my cheek, "ill always be right here to protect you manda" and with that he snuggled up against me, putting his head in the nap of my neck, I couldn't help but think everything would eventually be okay and with that thought we peacefully fell asleep, wrapped in each others
arms.

Chapter 7.

I was so deep in my dreams that i didn't hear Jason open my bedroom door. I was still wrapped in Ryan's arms and we were both only half clothed. I snapped into reality while i was ripped out of bed by my leg and i hit the floor with a hard thump. I whined out loud as the pain from my rib cage went shooting through my entire body. I tried to stand but the second i made it half way up, i received a hit so hard i lost all the balance i had managed to regain. Jason was screaming at me and i could hardly hear what venom he was spewing this time, all i could hear was 'whore' was involved. Ryan stood up and came right across the room and to my side to help me stand up, he lightly lifted me up to the bed then went directly after Jason. I was screaming for them to stop, they were rolling all around on my floor and that's when it hit me, "Jason is going to kill him" i reached out of my cell phone and dialed the number i always swore i'd never dial. "911 what is your emergency" i heard along with the ringing in my ears, i gasped as my address shot out of my mouth and i told them to hurry. They got there in less then five minutes and Ryan and Jason were still fighting, once they pulled them apart they were both handcuffed and i started sobbing telling them to let Ryan go. After i sat down and gave my statement again my big brother they uncuffed Ryan and he ran over to me and held me closely. He kept saying "you're so strong baby girl, so strong". He helped me up the stairs and to my bedroom as the cops drove away with my big brother in their back seat.

-Ryans POV-

I helped her up the stairs and sat her down on her bed. Wiping the tears falling from her eyes, i just wanted to make her feel better. I wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth slightly and sighed thinking to myself 'how could he hurt someone so perfect' i bunched up my fist. Trying to take a deep breath. She looked so helpless, 'common baby lets get you in a warm shower' i whispered, she stood up slightly stumbling I placed my hands on her hips and guided her into the bathroom, starting the water i softly helped her undress never taking my eyes away from hers. I needed her to trust me, I wanted nothing but to love this girl with everything i have. I closed the curtain after i put her in and sat on the floor as we talked softly. I went and got her clean clothes helped her get dressed (again never looking away from her eyes) and carried her to the bed and laid her down. Crawling in behind her and wrapping my arms around her, I took in her sweet smell and sighed kissing her neck softly and whispering her sweet thoughts. 'Everything is going to be okay Manda' i said hoping she believed me even if i had a hard time believing myself. 'I'm not going anywhere, ill be right here when you wake up go to sleep love go to sleep' and with that i felt her breathing get harder and i heard her soft snoring smiling gripping her i finally drifted to sleep.

The next morning when i woke up with her still in my arms i couldn't help but smile. I looked down at her kissed her head, I felt on top of the world, and now with Jason not around I could finally take my step's towards making this girls life amazing. She deserved nothing but the best and that's what i was going to make sure happened, that even if we ended up not working (it would kill me) But all that mattered to me is Amanda being happy and safe.

Chapter 8.

I woke up to nothing but warmth. I was happy and i felt like everything would be
