"Wait! Please, Cinderella!" I shouted to her, as she ran with full speed. I gotta admit, she was fast, but I was faster. 

I reached up to her and pulled her wrist, turning the girl around to see a tear stained face. I gulped.

"H-how long did you know?" she asked, her lip quivering a little. 

I looked away, not wanting to make eye contact. I should've told her sooner. 

"Since the day I met him." I muttered. She let out another sob. 

"Cinderella, I..." I walked towards her. 

"Don't call me that. Why wouldn't you tell me before." she said sternly. 

I ran a hand through my hair. "I was going to that but, I heard you talk to your mothers picture frame that night." I soon I said this her lips parted and she stared at me widening her eyes, but I wasn't finished. 

"Life wasn't exactly great, I just couldn't make you more unhappy. I know you try to put a smile on your face but I know inside your still broken." I said and she ran into my arms, sobbing into my chest. 

Did I......say something wrong... I thought, but hugged her anyways. It was quiet and all you could hear were her sobs. 

"Let's go into the car." I said. Yea, don't think wrong. I sat in the back seat, stroking her hair as she had fallen asleep with her head on my lap. 

"Jackson! Is she okay!" a voice yelled and opened the door. 

"I..." Skylar began but I shushed her. 

"Shhhh, she's asleep." I said, pointing at her tear stained, sleepful face. I wiped her cheeks and gave a small smile. 

"Uhhh....you gonna drive me home or stay there." she said. She didn't want to sound rude but she couldn't comfort Isabelle now.

"Yea, yea sure." I said, lightly placing Cinderella's head on the seat and walking to the driver's seat, swinging my keys on my pointer finger. Skylar went to the other side. 

"What about the twins?" sh asked, arching her eyebrow. 

I clenched my jaw, "They can find their way, they've done this before." I said in monotone, looking straight ahead. I asked Skylar her address and she recited it. After dropping her off, I went to the mansion and got out of the car. 

I walked to the back seat and opened the door. She does look like sleeping beauty, I thought, taking her in my arms; bridal style. Deja Vu has been following me all night. 

I walked into the house. No one's home, huh. 

I went up the stair and put her down on the bed, staring at her sleeping face. I couldn't help it so I leaned in and lightly kissed her soft, pink lips. I pulled back slowly and began to walk away but Cinderella her eyes fluttered open, her face obtained a tired smirk on her face.

"I'm Cinderella, Jax; not sleeping beauty." she said, with little amusement. 

"Well, it worked didn't it." I asked, shrugging with my hands in my pocket. 

"C-can you sleep next to me...I mean...uhm..n-neverm-mind." she said, probably remembering the incident a few hours ago. 

Even though she didn't say anything, I went to the other side and plopped down beside her. 

She gave me a tired smile and closed her eyes. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Half an hour later, I was laying with my knee upwards when she slightly moved to find a better position to sleep.

She put her hand on my chest and laid her had down, snuggling into the crook of my neck; and this caught me out of surprise. 

I slowly put my free arm around her, pulling the sleeping girl towards me and drifting off to sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That fucking whore!" I heard, but my eyes were too tired to open, so I thought it was just my dream or imagination. 

"You slut!" I heard a deep voice say. "AIDEN!" a girl's voice said and a gasp from her as I heard something getting hit. Like someone getting slapped.

You know that now that I think about it did she say "Aiden" and it sounded a lot like Cinderella. 

"Your mine, and you always be mine." the voice say menacingly. I lost it. 

I shot up opening my eyes to Aiden forcefully kissing Cinderella again. She was trying to push him away but he was too strong for her. 

But not strong for me. 

"WHAT THE FUCK, AIDEN!" I yelled at the top of my voice and yanked him to the ground. 

He laid there with a smirk. I stood in front of Cinderella. "You can't see her again." I said, in a low voice. 

I saw him frown but smile. The fuck, he smiled. 

"And whose gonna stop me?" he asked, challenging my temper. 

"ME YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" I shouted. 

"And when you leave?" he asked. 

I glared at him and then jumped at him, punching the daylights outta the sick boy. 

"Jackson, stop." Cinderella said. 

"WHY! HE FUCKING TREATS YOU LIKE TRASH!" I yelled still punching him. He earned a bloody nose and shifted jaw. 

"Doesn't everyone?" she muttered to herself, but I heard her and got up; slowly turning around. 

Her cheekbones were red and her breath hitched and my brain just....shut down. I wasn't think. 

I pulled her into my chest and smashed my lips against hers.
