“Why did you bring him here?” Peter says to Cheyenne while walking up the stairs with her from the basement where they live. “He was all bruised up Peter, you should have seen him he reminded me of myself when you first found me on the streets.” She chuckles and opens the door and walks in the main area and walks towards Daniel. He slowly looks up at her and keeps on staring at her getting a little worried of what is happening. “Do you want more dinner? Or should I show you a room to sleep in?” She slowly sits by him and smiles his way. “Why do you want to keep me here? Why do I feel like you will do something wrong to me?” Daniel asks staring at her. Cheyenne bursts out into laughter and slaps her own thigh and keeps on laughing.

“You remind of myself, don’t worry I won’t hurt you.” She smiles at him and pats his head. He keeps on staring at him and slowly looks away from her, she keeps on staring at him and slowly her eyes fall on his neck that has a wound on it. “I will get you some medicine.” She slowly gets up from the couch and walks away. Daniel watches her go and feels someone’s gaze on him; he looks at the direction and sees both Peter and Antony watching him really closely. Daniel looks away and keeps looking around silently feeling very awkward. “I don’t trust this guy.” Peter whispers to Antony. Antony who was busy shoving his mouth with food looks at him knitting his eyebrows. “Why is that? Are you jealous of him?” Antony mumbles and starts laughing on his own seeing how irritated Peter looks right now. Cheyenne walks back to Daniel and take a cotton pad and puts a liquid disinfectant. As she goes to touch Daniel’s neck with it he moves back and stands up quickly. Cheyenne laughs at his reaction and slowly stands up and starts walking closer to him. He slowly walks back away from her while keeping his eyes on hers, she keeps on walking closer to him with a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

“Stay back.” Daniel says and bumps onto a wall and stares at her scared as she approaches him and slowly leans towards him and gets on her top toes. She is quiet short in compared to Daniel so she had to stay on her tiptoes in order to reach his neck. He stares at her and gulps getting really nervous and slowly squeezes his eyes shut when she leans further and slowly press the cotton pad against his wound. A hiss comes out of his mouth feeling the wound burn a little due to the medicine; Cheyenne slowly removes the cotton pad and blows on his skin making a chill run down his spine. Daniel slowly opens his eyes and locks eyes with her, there a glint of mischievousness in her eyes while makes his stomach do a somersault.

“Dude I can practically smell you burning.” Antony elbows Peter who is glaring at both of them after watching the little show they put up. Daniel clears his throat and slowly looks away from her while still holding onto the wall. Cheyenne hands him the bottle of disinfectant and the packet of cotton pad and takes a step back from him. He looks down at his hand and finally looks at her, she smirks at him gives him a small wink before walking away towards both the guys who are still staring at them.

When she steps out of the washroom after cleaning up, she sees Zen sitting on the bed with his head hanging low. She doesn’t say anything to him just walks past him to go in front of the dresser while wiping her hair with a towel. Zen slowly looks at her and watches her silently; she takes off the bathroom and drops it on the floor exposing her bare back to him. He keeps on gawking at her and sees all the marks on her skin that are scattered here and there. “Did they hit you a lot?” He asks in an inaudible tone. Isabelle doesn't reply to him, she takes out one of his t-shirts and puts it on and walks to the bed. Zen grabs her hand before she could lay on the bed and pulls her on his lap. She doesn’t fight him neither does she look at him, she just blankly keeps on staring ahead silently.

“You know I can’t stay without you right? Then why do you keep on taunting me for being clingy to you? You know you’re the only I have.” He looks up at her and slowly holds her chin to make her look at him. She slowly looks at him and stares at him silently, recalling all the times Zen used to defend her from getting physically abused and it’s such a shame that now he is the one abusing her. “Zen I was joking around with you, I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to do that with you anymore. I get it you don’t have anyone apart from me I don’t have anyone apart from you and Tim either. It’s a shame that you were the one that used to defend me from getting abused and now you turned into someone who is abusing me.” She slowly releases herself from him and gets on the bed and lays down on her side. Zen doesn't say anything and keeps on sitting on the bed. Isabelle gets under the blanket and curls up with the side pillow and lets out her silent tears. Zen slowly gets off the bed and walks out of the room smiling recalling that she said he was the only one she had as well. There was a deep pleasure inside him realizing that she is helpless and he has her all to himself. "I will never let you leave me." He chuckles to himself.
