There's a knock at Mia's door. Rounds were 30 minutes ago so I wonder if the guard heard us speaking and he's come back to kick me out. I step out onto the balcony this time and she quietly shuts and locks the door behind me since the guard can see the balcony doors from the entrance and may question why she doesn't have it locked. I hear muffled voices and can't make out much of what is said. I can't see through the curtains she has covering the window and my anxiety notches up. I try to slow my breathing so I can hear, but again I can't hear much.

I hear her door slam shut and then a thump. I'm nervous now so I try to open the door. Of course it's locked. I hear her cry out my name and now I'm freaking the fuck out. Someone is in there with her. Someone could be hurting her. Shit!

This is going to hurt.

I throw myself at the glass of her balcony door. It takes three tries before I finally crash through, broken glass raining down around me. My heart stops for a moment when I see Drew has her pinned against the wall and his hand is creeping up her bare thigh only covered in one of the twins' shirts. Mia's eyes are huge as she seems to beg for help through them. He has a hand over her mouth so I only hear muffled cries. The crash finally registers seconds later and he turns towards me. I see a moment of panic overtake his face before I'm on him.

I rip him away from her by the back of his shirt and he falls to the floor. Fat and uncoordinated. I'm really fucking thankful for the twins forcing me to work out all the time and the boxing lessons they insisted on this summer. He tries to get up off of the ground so I throw my weight on top of him. He throws a wild punch and it completely misses. I nail him in the temple.

I've never felt rage like this before. I want to kill him. I think I could actually kill him. I've hit him two more times before someone rips me off of him. I'm flailing and trying to punch whoever is touching me and I frantically turn to see where Mia has gone.

Bash has her in his arms and it's Liam who's restraining me. I stop fighting and look down to see Drew spitting blood onto Mia's pink fuzzy rug. I go to hit him again just for defiling her favorite fucking dorm decor, but I'm thrown backwards towards the ground. I'm still trying to get up off the ground when Liam starts wailing on Drew. His hits are sloppy and manic, but he won't stop. His knuckles are split open and Drew's blood is dripping all over the floor. Mia's screaming brings me out of my trance. She's screaming at Liam to stop, but Liam is too far gone to listen.

It takes Bash and I both to pull Liam off of Drew. Drew looks dead and I can't tell if that brings me peace or worry. Liam finally snaps out of it when other men enter the room. It's the other guards and I don't think they are here to hurt us or take Mia from us, but Liam is feral at this point. He reaches for Mia and she goes willingly, seeming non pulsed that he's splattered in blood and could have just killed someone. She's shaking and burying her face in Liam's chest as he pets her hair and tells her it's okay, that he's here now. I actually have no idea how the fuck they are here.

Liam has dragged Mia towards a corner of her room and won't allow the guards to come near them. Bash and I move to stand with them so he calms down. The guards check the pulse of Drew and say he's alive, just unconscious. I find I'm disappointed and I don't know what that says about me.

The head guard, Joe, enters the room and surveys the scene. A look of understanding crosses his face and I'm sure he has an idea of what occured.

"What happened?" He barks. Addressing his guards. One I've never seen replies,

"We had an incident early. Drew tried to enter the building from a back entrance and gain access to the third floor. We were able to stop him, but he expressed a desire to see a girl he had been dating. He mentioned it was this female, but there was nothing in her info that noted him so we didn't allow him to speak to her." The guard looks scared.

"Why the fuck was I not notified of this? If you looked her up I'm sure you saw the previous incident with this guard and her network. You would have seen this is an ongoing issue and YOU SHOULD HAVE REPORTED IT!" Joe is screaming in the guards face.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't realize." The shaking guard replies.

"Oh you'll fucking realize. Her guardian gets to chose your discipline. I'm going to give you to him as a gift in hopes he doesn't get us all fired like he has every right to do!" Joe is still screaming as he turns to us.

His voice has lowered when he speaks to us. He looks to Mia shaking and being held up only by Liam's arms wrapped around her.

"Tell me." He demands, looking at me since I'm standing in front of my brothers and Mia.

"I snuck in. I'm guessing when the guards were dealing with Drew trying to break in earlier. I planned to stay the night. I hid while rounds came and then someone knocked again. I stepped out onto the balcony and made her lock the door because I knew a guard would question it if it was unlocked. I heard a struggle and then she cried out and I broke through the glass." I take a deep breath trying to calm my shaking voice,

"He had her pinned to the wall and was attempting to touch her sexually." Mia sobs and Liam rumbles while Bash makes a distressed noise in the back of his throat.

"I ripped him off and subdued him, then my brothers came. I gesture to the twins." Liam takes over,

"We were already walking towards her building to come in through the balcony when we heard the glass break. We could see it was Mia's room and got up here as quickly as we could. I didn't see what happened I only saw Trevor on top of Drew. Mia was upset and shaking and I could guess what had happened. I threw Trevor off and starting beating him myself. I couldn't stop."

Liam speaks matter of factly. Not at all sorry for his actions... Well he might be a little sorry the guy isn't dead.

Joe looks to Mia,

"Fill in the blanks for me sweet heart." The only reason we allow him to call her that is because he's old and hairy. Otherwise we'd probably have another dead man next to Drew.

"I answered the door and Drew was there. He told me he missed me and needed to see 'his girl.' He was rambling about it being wrong we were kept apart and he was going to see we weren't kept apart again. I told him no and to fuck off and he got angry. That's when he pushed me against the wall and tried to put his hands up my shirt. I fought back, but he's bulky and stronger then me. Trevor was suddenly there and Drew was on the floor and you've heard the rest." Her voice is shaking and she's taking big sobbing breaths as she speaks.

"Call the police and an ambulance. Mia lets go call your guardian." Joe holds his hand out for Mia to come to him and none of us move.

"Not happening. You can go call her guardian and good fucking luck with that. She's coming back to our dorm with us." Liam spits out.

Joe starts to argue and Mia speaks,

"I'm going with them. They have the right to sign a release. They will sign it and I'm going with them. If you need to see me you can come talk to me there." She leaves no room for question.

She grabs my hand and I take it as a sign to move towards the hallway so we can leave. We surround her as we move down the stairs and to our dorm room, trying to hide her state of half dress. Luckily the shirt looks more like a dress. When we get inside Mia collapses into Bash's arms, sobbing. Liam makes quick work of dragging our mattresses to the floor and then we all pile in around her.

We try to soothe her with our words and we hold her tight until she cries herself to sleep.

My vidscreen rings and I know it's Carter before I get to it. I answer and step into the hallway while the twins stay huddled around Mia.

"Why am I having to call you first?" Carter barks into the phone, obviously pissed.

Cassidy is next to him, it looks like they are at the kitchen island. Cassidy's face is tear streaked and I've never seen the expression on Carter's face before.

"Joe wanted Mia to come to his office and call you and we refused. Mia was really shaken up and she needed to to be alone. She's fine, she's asleep between the twins."

"Show me." It's Cassidy who barks this time.

I turn the vidscreen and head back inside showing them the floor mattress with a tiny Mia snuggled in between the twins. The twins are only clad in boxers and Mia's shirt has ridden up to show much of her thighs, but it's too late to cover them now. Mia is gripping Liam to her, even in her sleep, her face buried under his head. Bash is holding her from behind with his face tucked into her hair. I hold the screen there a few seconds before heading back to the hall.

"They fucked up Carter. They should have told us Drew tried to access her earlier in the day. He should have been fired immediately. There was no way he should have been able to fucking get into her room! What if I wouldn't have been there?!" I'm trying to keep my voice calm, but I know it sounds ragged. My hands are shaking and my vision is blurring with tears.

"They royally fucked up. We are leaving within the hour so keep your vidscreen on. I will call when we get there. They won't get away with this. None of them will. Drew will be dead or behind bars I promise you that." Carter's words are harsh.

"You did good Trevor. All three of you did. You did the right thing and I will make sure no one is punished for Drew's injuries. I have never been more thankful for the three of you being such great stalkers." She tries to make a joke, but it falls short when her chuckle turns into a sob.

"We will see you in a few hours." Carter ends the call.
