"Listen up, little slut. You better get your ass down here right now." My step dad yelled.

My dad died when I was 10 years old and my mom married this man, because he is filthy rich. My mom married him for three years and she died after I turned 15 years old. Every since that day she died, my step dad threw all his problems on me.

If something goes wrong, he blames me. Mom died and he blamed me. He abused me now and then. Anything he finds near him, he would either throw it or scare me with it.

"You, little bitch. Are you hearing me?" He yelled from downstairs.

"Coming." I said and I ran down the stairs. I ran into the living room and I saw the monster I live with, sitting in the couch.

"Yes." I said and he chuckled while he drinks a bottle of vodka.

"Where the fuck were you, bitch?" He said and he's definitely drunk again. God, please help me!

"In my room." I said nervously and he scoffed.

"Oh, really. So where's my breakfast?" He inquired.

Shit!

"I will go and make it now." I said.

"So you didn't make it yet?" He said and he got up.

"Um." I said and suddenly he throw the lamp at me. I screamed as I dodged it and I ran upstairs, to my room. I locked the door and I started to pack my bags.

I can't take this anymore! I took up my phone and I called Lexi but I couldn't get a good connection so I called Noah since I have been tutoring him. I called him three times before he answered...

"Hey Zoe. And yes, I remember that we have tutoring class today at the park." I heard him asking through the phone.

"Help!" I partly screamed.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Can you pick me up from my house now please?" I asked.

"Yes. What's wrong with you?" He asked.

"Just come fast." I informed him.

"Yes. Give me your address and I will be right over." He said then I gave him the address and hung up.

"You, little bitch. Open this door now!" My stepfather bang on the door.

"No fucking way!" I shouted as I shoved the clothes in the bags.

"Open this fucking door, Now! Or else." He shouted.

"Or else what?" I challenged him.

"You know what I can do to you." He informed me and I gulped.

Noah, please hurry up!

I zipped up my bags close and I sat down on the bed while praying for Noah to come.

"I'm coming in, bitch." He shouted and the door flew open. I jumped up and he grabbed me by the throat then he shoved me into the table across from the my room.

I groaned when my side hits the table and the pain runs up in my back. The table broke into two, with me in between it and I groan nonstop. He came over and he kicked me in the stomach. I winced in pain and he laughed. I started to cry and he smirked.

"Where the fuck do you think you are going?" He asked me.

"Far from here." A voice said and I blacked out.

"Noah." Tyson growls from upstairs and I groan. I jumped up from the couch, in the living room and I went up the stairs.

"What is it?" I yelled and I saw Ashley walking down the stairs.

"Hey, Ashley. Why is Tyson calling me?" I asked.

"He said something about your phone." She said with a shrug and I nodded. I ran up the stairs and I went into Tyson room. As I entered, I saw Tyson laying down on his bed...

"Where's my phone?" I asked and he pointed to the chair, beside his bed. I took it up and I realized that Zoe was calling, probably to remind me about the tutoring class. Just when I was about to call her back, she rang my phone.

"Hey Zoe. And yes, I remember that we have tutoring class today at the park. " I smirked.

"Help!" She screamed.

"What's wrong?" I asked, curiously and Tyson raised an eyebrow at me.

"Can you pick me up from my house now please?" She asked.

"Yes. What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"Just come fast." She ordered.

"Give me your address and I will be right over." I said and she gave me the address and hung up.

"What's wrong?" Tyson asked while he came beside me.

"Zoe. I think she's in trouble." I said.

"Well, let's go then." He said and I nod. We went downstairs and I saw Ashley, along with the boys.

"Guys. I think Zoe is in trouble." I informed them.

"My Zoe?" Ashley nearly yelled and I nod.

"Let's go." Tyson said.

"Where's Mason?" Chase asked but I haven't seen him from this morning nor Tyler.

"He said he was going somewhere." Scott said with a shrug.

"And Tyler?" Tyson asked.

"Same." Carlos said. Weird?

"Guys let's go!" Ashley said bluntly and we nod. We went outside and into the garage where the cars were located.

Ashley and Tyson including me, went into my car. Chase, Scott and Carlos went into Chase's car. I drove out of the garage and I drove to the address that Zoe gave me.

As we reach the house, I heard yelling so I quickly jumped out of the car and I ran into the house while the others followed me.

I heard noise from upstairs, so I ran upstairs. As I reach the top stairs I heard a man voice. I walked towards the noise and I saw a door on the floor. I walked into the room and I saw Zoe on the floor between a broken table, then a man standing before while smirking.

"Where the fuck did you do you think you are going?" He said to Zoe.

"Far from here." I informed him and he turned around.

"Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my house?" He asked and I walked up to him.

"I would have ask you the same thing but not about this house."

With that I punched him in the face and he stumbled to the floor. Just then the others came in and I walked over to Zoe. She was unconscious and I sighed as the man groan. I picked her up bride style while the others carry her bags and Tyson kicked the man, non-stop, in his stomach along with his head until he was fucking unconscious.

"Tyson what are you guys going to do with him?" Ashley asked, looking curious

"I will handle him." Chase informed her.

"Chase you know exactly what we do with garbage like him?" Tyson smirked and Chase chuckled. 2

"And what exactly you do with garbage like him?" Ashley asked while rolling her eyes at Tyson and I chuckled.

"Kill him." Tyson said bluntly and she slowly nod.

"Okay then... Let's go because I am not witnessing you boys killing anyone without me helping." Ashley shrugged it off and we chuckled.

I blinked once. I blinked twice. I blinked thrice. I opened my eyes and I found myself in a bed. I looked around and I saw Ashley, Tyson and Noah sitting down while staring at me.

"She's a awake." Ashley said while smiling and Noah sighed.

"Are you okay?" She asked and I nod.

"Water." She said to the Tyson and he slightly glared at her but Noah left. Ashley rolled her eyes at Tyson and he sighed. Noah came with a glass of water and I quickly drank it.

"Where is... ?" I asked, referring to my stepfather.

"Dead." Tyson said and I stared at him.

How did he died? Who killed him? I wanted to ask but Noah cut off my thoughts...

"You can live with me if you want to." Noah said and I sighed.

"I would love to, but what would your mom and dad say?" I asked.

"My parents don't live with me because of certain situations so I live in an apartment by myself and sometimes I am here with the guys." Noah sighed.

"But not anymore because you have Zoe." Ashley smirked and I chuckled.

"Why didn't you tell anyone about this?" Tyson asked me and I sighed.

"I told a lot of people even the police department but they didn't believe me. I tried to run away but he always finds me." I said.

"You don't have to worried now. We are here with you." Noah said and I smiled.

"Awe. You two cute birdies." Ashley cooed and I blushed as the two boys chuckled.

"Get some sleep now. We will be down stairs if you need anything." Noah said and I slowly nod. They got up and they went through the door. I closed my eyes and soon after I dripped off into sleep.
