"Cole, I'm sorry!" Bailey yells.

"I don't care if you're sorry, you DO NOT, talk to me that way!" Cole says pulling her into the house the door wide open. He thought the boys she was with, same as a couple week before, left, but they didn't, they pulled out to where Cole couldn't see them. Remington didn't want to leave her. He knew something was wrong and Bailey finally admitted it. Remington stood outside the car, waiting to see if anything was would happen.

When Remington heard her scream in pain he knew he had to do something. Sebastian yelled at him to wait for him to come out but he didn't listen. Remington ran into her house as fast as he could not caring he was going to get hurt. Cole had her pinned against the wall.

"You're going to regret coming in here." Cole smirking at Remington, he moved his hand to Bailey's neck.

Bailey started crying, her breathing shaking. Remington tries prying Cole off of her, Remington didn't want things to get violent but he was prepared. If he had to fight he would. He punched Cole, loosening his grip on Bailey. Remington pried his hands off of her, Cole grabbed Remington and held onto his neck. Remington dug his nails into Coles arm, it didn't matter to him. Remington kicked him in the shin as hard as he could. He let go of Remington.

"Bailey! Run to Seb's car!" Remington coughs. He starts to run away from Cole who was trying to run after them. Remington let's Bailey into the front seat and he climbed into the back. "Lock the doors."

"Do I need to call the police?"

Bailey looks outside to see Cole coming closer to them, she looks at Sebastian...

"Just drive." She sighs.

"Bay, He deserves to go to jail you can't let him just take everything from you."

"Just drive..." She repeats.

Sebastian drove them back to the house he and his brothers share. The ride was silent the only sound was the crying from Bailey, who was both hurt and scared. When they got back Emerson was confused. Remington took her inside and they sat on his couch, he examined her body for any injuries. Then he saw it, her ankle was bruised, possibly sprained. Remington went over to the freezer handing her and icepack for her ankle. She thanked him.

Remington looked over at Bailey, the quiet sobs from beside him made him feel bad.

"Bailey, it's going to be okay... We're going to help you, alright..."

"I-I'm sorry Rem..."

"You did nothing wrong Bailey..." Remington says softly pulling her into a tight embrace.

She cried into his shoulder, her arms around his neck. Remington held her as she cried, she didn't want to let go of him... In a way he felt the same, he didn't want to let her go, he feared she'd get hurt, and he was right to be scared. Bad luck always follows Bailey, and soon it would learn to follow them all.

Emerson and Sebastian entered the room, Bailey let go of Remington. She wiped her eyes with her sleeves, she was done crying but her eyes hurt. She had no idea if it was from Cole hitting her or from all of the crying.

"Bailey, you can sleep in mine or Remington's room if you'd like, I'm sure you don't want to go back home."

Bailey shook her head, "You can sleep in your rooms, it's okay... My ankle hurts anyway, it'll probably be better if I stay in here."

"She's right, the bathroom is closer to here and the kitchen isn't far either."

Sebastian nodded looking at Bailey.

"Emersons room is down the hall on the same side as the bathroom, if you need help you can ask him. I'm a bit farther down the hall, Remington is down on the other side of the hall. So if you need instant help Emerson is closest, if you're uncomfortable asking him you can talk to me or Remington we will gladly help you."

"Thank you for everything. I appreciate it..." Bailey says, a sad smile on her face.

"We're just glad you're okay."

Sebastian grabs a blanket out of the hallway closet and sets it by her. Bailey understood what they meant when they mentioned Emerson was antisocial, it showed. Emerson hasn't said a word the whole time, he glanced at her but nothing came out of him. What would she expect, he doesn't know much about what's going on, he is confused, just like he should be. Emerson sits on the couch by Remington an unsure look on his face.

"You wanna watch a movie or rest for a bit?" Remington asks.

"What do you have?"

"Haunted, ummm I we have some other scary movies, and of course, we have all of the Harry Potter movies."

"We can watch Harry Potter." Bailey says knowing Remington seems to like it. She likes it too.

Remington gets up to start the movie, when he finishes he sits down next to Emerson and Bailey. Bailey looked over at Remington, a small smile on her face. The movie started. Bailey looks at Emerson, still she hasn't heard anything from him. Emerson appeared to be around the same height as Remington. His outfit was pleasing to look at, a thin striped jacket with a ripped tank top underneath, a large hat and a few necklaces. He looked nice but Bailey knew in the long run Remington or Sebastian would be her choice. Not that she wanted to choose. She didn't need another relationship.

Emerson glanced at Bailey but looked away right after, his eyes appeared to be a blue or green looking color. Bailey looked back at Remington, she saw he looked really invested in the movie. Bailey sighed looking at the screen, it revealed Harry at the sorting hat. Bailey didn't think they got this far into it but they did. Bailey spaced out thinking about Cole and Remington, her thoughts on the man who said nothing and the ones who talked. Her head filled with curiosity but also filled with toxicity.

"I'm going to bed," Remington yawns, Bailey spaced out through the whole movie and it was now over. Remington just went to his room, Emerson was in his, Emerson left before the movie ended. So Bailey was alone.

She rolled over and laid on her side trying to sleep, her silver hair spread out on the couch. Her thoughts weren't good, Cole always popped into her mind. She couldn't get rid of him... She held the pillow she had close her breath shaking with sobs as he crossed her mind indefinitely... A bedroom door opened Bailey closed her eyes wishing to stop the tears but she couldn't... Her body was shaking her sobs held noise that someone could likely hear...

"Bailey, are you okay?" A quiet unrecognizable voice asks.
