JEREMY Driving away from the hotel was one of the hardest things I had ever done. All I wanted to do was lay in bed with Lucia and wake up tomorrow with her next to me.As much as I wanted to do that, I figured it would be best to give her some space for tonight. She needed lots of rest after all the grilling she got from my parents. I would let her get her much needed rest, then tomorrow evening, I would go see her. I kept thinking about Lucia that it was hard to focus on the road, and I was honestly lucky to get back home in one piece. Aaron was standing on the patio when I arrived, and I could not help the smile that curled at the corners of my lips. “There you are,” He said once he spotted me. “Did she get home safe?” I nodded, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. “Yeah. I made sure of it,” I replied, not missing the relieved look in his eyes. “Uhm, hey. Thank you for what you did for Lucia and I back then. I never would have asked you to put your position on the line like

LUCIATears spilled down my eyes as Connor’s grip on my hair grew even tighter. I was trying to be brave, but now it had cost me.“You stupid bitch. How dare you speak to me like that?!” He growled, his eyes icy as hell as flung me against the ground.A loud scream escaped my lips as I landed on my elbow and I would be lucky if I didn’t shatter something at that point. I was in extreme pain, but Connor was not done with me. He kept hitting me and then kicked me, driving out all the air in my lungs.He drove his feet into my stomach and another loud scream escaped my lips as more tears streamed down my face. “Please, stop, Connor! Please!” I cried, all the bravery I felt earlier seeping out of my body. Thankfully Connor stopped and he slowly squatted next to me, a sick smile playing at the corners of his lips. He roughly grabbed my chin and pulled my face close to his. “Will you do whatever I tell you to do now?” I simply stared at him, clamping my mouth shut as more tears glisten

JEREMYAt that moment, I was too worried about Lucia’s well-being to even second guess Aaron’s idea. If involving dad was going to save her life, then I wouldn’t think twice before doing it.I began to click on my phone, but Aaron’s hand stopped me.“Don’t worry. I’ll speak to him. You are not in the right frame of mind.” He said, giving me a wary look as his eyes darted towards my hands, which trembled so much.I let out a loud sigh, running my fingers through my hair. “Yeah. Sorry.” Aaron’s face turned sympathetic as he placed his hand on my shoulder in a comforting manner. “We’ll do everything we can to find her, alright?” His words did not do much to soothe my nerves, but I was glad that he was at least trying. “Alright.” I answered with a nod, and I simply watched as he proceeded to call that. The fact that I was standing around, doing nothing was extremely agitating, and when I couldn’t take it anymore, I began pacing around the room while Aaron spoke to dad.After a few min

LUCIAThe next couple of hours after Jeremy and Aaron saved me, I went by in a blur. Jeremy and I were rushed to a hospital, and after I was placed on medications, I drifted off to sleep. By the time I woke up, all my cuts and bruises had been bandaged, and I felt a lot better.My eyes darted around the hospital room, and the strong smell of disinfectants instantly wafted its way into my nostrils, making me cringe.I hated everything about hospitals, especially its smell, but at that moment, I was just glad to be alive. I was adjusting my blanket over my body when I had a soft knock on the door.“Come in.” I answered, looking towards the door.The door opened slightly, and Jeremy poked his head into the room with a small smile on his face, which in turn put a smile on my face.“Jeremy!” I exclaimed, attempting to get out of bed, but he quickly rushed towards me, eyes wide as he flailed his hands wildly.“No, no. You don’t need to get up.” In seconds, he was by my side, helping me g
