I woke up and felt pain behind my head, my throat and my eye was swollen shut. I placed my hand behind my head and looked at my fingers. They had blood on them. "Oh thank god your up." Josh ran up to me and brought me into a tight hug. I soon started to remember what happened and started to cry.

"It's okay. Shhh I'm here." Josh said rubbing my back. He picked me up and set me in his lap. I heard Ryan start to cry. I picked up my head and wiped away my tears. "Wh-What did he do t-to Ryan?" I asked Josh. "He pulled him down the hall by his hair." He said quietly. "H-He also pu-punched my stomach." He lifted up his shirt.

I looked over and saw a big bruise on his stomach. "Oh my god." I was about to stand up when Josh held me down. "Where are you going?" He asked as he wiped a tear off my face. "I need to get a ice pack for him." Josh shook his head. "You guys don't need to move. I'll get it and take care of you." He kissed my cheek and stood up holding me.

He walked to the kitchen and grabbed two ice packs. "Ryan just lay on the couch." Ryan nodded and walked over to the couch laying down. He handed Ryan a ice pack. "After I'm done helping Ty, I'll bring you some stuff to sleep." Ryan nodded his head and sniffled.

He walked upstairs as I cried onto his shoulder. "I'm in so much pain." I said sniffling. "Yea I know baby, but I'm going to make sure you heal up." He brought me into the bathroom and set me on the counter. "Let me look at your head." I turned my head letting him look.

He sighed. "Is it that bad?" I asked scared. "Put this on your eye." I grabbed the ice pack and placed it on my eye wincing from the pain. He leaned in and kissed me softly. "You know you mean a lot to me right?" I shook my head. He laughed and smiled. "Well you do." He kissed me again. "So how's the cut on my head?" I asked scared. "It's not bad. You just need to clean it and you can do that by taking a shower."

I nodded my head. "Can you help me getting off the counter?" He smiled and picked me up off the counter. "I'll leave you in here to shower." He kissed my cheek and started walking out the bathroom. "Wait." He stopped and turned around. "C-Can you take the shower.......with me?" I asked nervously.

"I don't think that's the best thing right now for you." I sighed and nodded. "I need to get Ryan some blankets and a pillow." I looked up. "They are in the cupboard across the hall." He nodded his head.

I got dressed and I walked downstairs seeing Ryan laying on the couch asleep. I walked over to the door making sure it was locked. I walked to the kitchen and opened my freezer seeing no more ice packs. I sighed and closed the freezer. "Does your eye hurt?" I turned around and saw Josh standing in the entryway of the kitchen.

I nodded my head and looked down. "You don't have to take care of me." I said quietly. "I know I don't have to, but I want to because I care about you." I was about to say something then Josh beat me too it. "Yes I know I don't know a lot about you, but I will once you open up to me and that might take forever, but I'm up to it."

He walked up to me and picked me up. I looked away since I felt disgusting from my swollen eye and the cut behind my head. He tried to look me in the eye and I refused it. "Do you want to do something tomorrow?" I shook my head. I didn't want anyone seeing how ugly I looked. Josh began walking me back upstairs in silence.

He set me in my bed and tucked me in. I turned my back towards him not wanting him to see me anymore. "Did I do something wrong?" He asked concerned. "No. I just look so gross I don't want you seeing me like this." I felt tears fill my eyes and fall down my cheek. "You don't look disgusting. You look as beautiful as you always do." He grabbed my cheeks and brought me into a kiss.

He broke the kiss and wiped away the tears. "Don't ever think your ugly. If you do I'll pamper you in kisses and hugs and tell you how beautiful you are until you realize you are beautiful. Okay?" I nodded my head and he smiled. "Good." He stood up and gave me a smile. "I'll be downstairs making sure nothing happens. If you need me just come downstairs or text me." He walked over to the door and was about to walk out.

"Wait. I want you to hold me." He walked over and crawled into bed. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead. "Go to sleep princess." I smiled and scooted closer. I leaned my head on his chest. "Goodnight Joshy."
