They took me back to the warehouse, Reggie ordered the boys to get the first aid. Also anything with carbs, due to you could actually see my ribs. Reggie was fixing up the burn marks, he's got a secret to get them away straight away. He fixed up my face, seeing Ethan bring me a bowl of fruit.

"Thank you." I mouthed to him, as Reggie the held my face.

"What else did the son of a bitch do to you?" He asked.

"The things I told you and I've got a question for you." I begun, as Reggie lowered his hands. Seeing the boys stand near us. "How are you alive? I saw Pello shoot you right in the heart." Reggie grew a smile.

"Do you honestly think I'll walk into that situation without protection? I was wearing a bullet proof vest under my clothes." He explained as I smiled at how smart he is. "Did you sleep at all when you were there?" I shook my head, as I was passed a bottle of water.

"No I didn't." I explained.

"Ok, I want you to drink that water and eat. Then get some rest ok?" I nodded to my uncles orders, he got up and kissed my head.

"Can you stay with me? Please?" I begged my uncle grabbing his hand, he looked down at me and smiled.

"Of course cupcake." He replied, as he sat down beside me. I cuddled up beside him, as he wrapped an arm around me. I saw Ethan and Grayson walk towards the kitchen. Feeling Reggies weight of his head, rest on mine. I could tell he was scared shitless when Pello had me, knowing he could've found me dead.

"Do I have to eat all this fruit?" I question Reggie, as I went to put the bowl on the coffee table. Reggie grabbed it and placed it back on my lap.

"Yes, I want you to eat all of it and I'm not leaving you till you do." He stated and to be honest, I didn't want him to leave. I kept eating the fruit until it was all gone, then I sculled down half a bottle of water. "Easy, you'll make yourself sick if you drink to fast." Reggie explained, as I started drinking slowly. The bottle was soon empty, all I did was place my head in the crook of Reggies neck. Feeling my eye lids become heavy. "Sleep my little Deanna, you deserve your rest." I did, I soon fell asleep after those words.

I was having a dream, well actually reliving a memory. It was when some other guy of Pellos was after me and Reggie being Reggie has a moment, which was more of a scene. This was when I was 13.

"Ok! Now! You get to feel the pain, because of your big old dick of a boss won't show up. So, if you or any other one of Pellos men try and hurt MY cupcake again. I'll do worse then this." Reggie explained with gritted teeth, as I didn't flinch seeing him do this to the guy.

Seeing the guys blood fly up into the air, I looked to my uncle. He had the look in his eyes, which I still don't understand. The guy deserved it, as the guy tried to rape me and before that. Tried and beat the shit out of me, Reggie saved me from all of that.

I flattered my eyes open, seeing I was on the couch by myself. I looked around, feeling the need to go to the bathroom. I walked up the stairs, heading last the TV room. Freezing, then slowly peeking through the slight crack of the door opened. Reggie was sitting across from the boys, I knew it was serious. But Reggie seemed laid back.

"Sir, we promise that Deanna will never get hurt." Ethan explained to him.

"I know that, Grayson promised the same thing over the phone. When Deanna was in hospital, as I've said. Please, call me Reggie." He told them.

"We love Deanna to bits, she's amazing and such an incredible person." Grayson started as then Reggie cut him off.

"I know, I raised her."

"Yes and you've done an amazing job with that, we-." Ethan then kinda froze, knowing he was kinda scared of the capabilities of my uncle.

As Reggie leant towards them. "I understand where you two are heading with this, but. My kid who's resting on the couch downstairs, she could've been chopped up and shipped of to Japan. Grayson, you promised me you'll keep and eye on her. She was in both of your care and you failed." Oh Reggie, I looked to the boys who looked full of self loathing.

"Reggie, I hate myself. I full on hate my guts, that I allowed Deanna to be taken and I couldn't do anything. Ethan and I wanted nothing more to rip ourselves limb from limb, I love Deanna. I cannot live with the fact if we didn't get to her when we did, she could've been dead." Grayson was about to burst into tears.

"In this life, we have to deal with the fact anyone could die any minute. I dedicated myself to protect Deanna. You guys aren't just don't understand this as much as Deanna does.I'll be back, I'm going to check on Deanna." Reggie said as he stood up, my eyes widened as I full on sprinted back to the couch. Getting myself into the sleeping position. I then opened my eyes slowly, seeing Reggie towering me. "Hey kidlet, you sleep ok?" He questioned, as he moved a bit of hair out of my face.

"Kinda." I replied, as he placed a kiss on my head. "Where were you?" I asked him, seeing if he'll lie.

"Oh, I was just talking to the boys. Everything's ok, try and get some more rest." H explained, chucking a blanket over me. I nodded, fake closing my eyes. Reggie, please do not hurt them. He won't hurt someone you love, it's going to be fine. Everything's going to be ok, for a little bit longer.
