Emily's P.O.V

When Noah walked me to the door It all of me to not look back at Ethan. I was starting to have feelings for him. He was nice when he wanted to be. 

Noah hugged me and from the corners of my eyes, I could see Ethan as he looked away. Why is he like this? 

I walk inside and close the doors behind me. Then I hear glass shattering from the upstairs and I don't know if it is the alcohol in me or what possessed me to run up the stairs skipping two at the time. 

I followed the noise and it leads me to my room? I look inside and ma Father is trashing my room. 

˝Father what are you doing?!˝ I say when it hit me, I got a bunch of messages from him during the night.

˝WHERE DO YOU HAVE THE FUCKING MONEY!?˝ he screamed at me walking towards me, not giving me time to run away.

Before I could say something he grabbed me and threw me across the room and I landed in some shattered glass, cutting my hands. At this point, I was already crying. 

He just went to trash my closet and there I had hidden all the money I have worked really hard to collect, and it was my get away from this hell money. 

˝ YOU FUCKING BITCH I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, HIDING MONEY FROM ME, NOT ANSWERING MY TEXT, STAYING OUT TILL ALL HOURS!˝ His anger was getting out of hand, I have never seen him like this, something must have happened. 

I tried to crawl away from him but he grabbed me before I could do anything. I was crying uncontrollably by now, I don't know what he is gonna do but.

His big hand swang in the air and then it landed on my face repeatedly I could feel my upper lip split. I tried to kick him away, I had to get away money or no money. Liam and Nathalie will help me. He holds me by my throat and his eyes were black with rage. I kicked him one more time and this time I got some leverage, just enough to get away from him.

I ran towards the door and didn't look back, only when I got to the stairs I could feel him behind me as he tried to grab me he falls down but in the process, he tripped me and I tumbled down the stairs, I didn't have the time to acknowledge the damage from the fall.

I just got up and run, run out the door, run from him, run to be free. I didn't look back I had nothing on me, not a phone, not any money, chards nothing. I just knew I could never go back. 

After what felt like hours of running I stopped, out of breath feeling slightly dizzy. I pressed my back to the wall and fall to the floor like a sack of potatoes. My hands were bloody and the head was throbbing and there was a sharp pain in my ribs. 

And when all of that sank in I realized that I have no way of calling Liam or Nathalie and it was too far of a walk to get there on foot. I was stuck outside alone in the cold with nowhere to go. I couldn't go to the police or hospital if he was to look for me. And I know he would.

He would also make it seem like he was not at fault. I just couldn't risk it. But If I stay here outside I would most likely die anyway. There was just one person I could think of that was in walking distance and that was Ethan. But will I be able to face him? 

I don't think I really have a choice if I don't want to die right here. I got up and starting walking slowly. 

Ethans P.O.V

I just told Noah everything I have found out and he was furious about it, but we both decided it was for the best we talk to her about it on Monday at the R-centre. 

I was brought out of my thoughts when my phone started ringing and it was an unknown number. I answered it anyway.

˝Hello,˝ 

˝Hi, is this Ethan Hunter?˝ Asked a girls voice.

˝Yes this is he, who is asking?˝ I said with a stern voice.

˝This is Natalie, Emily's friend. Don't even ask how I got your number it was a hassle.˝ She said and I don't know where this is going but I have a strange feeling inside my stomach. 

˝She told me that she was going out with you and your friend is this true? are you still out?˝ She said and she was a little worried. 

˝We dropped her at her home 3 hours ago,˝ I say and the bad feeling grows.

There is silence and it makes me anxious. ˝Why are you asking?˝ 

˝She isn't answering her phone, and when we drove past her house there were was a strange car parked outside and well since she has some problems at home we just hoped she was still with you guys....˝ She said and that was enough for me to jump out of my bed and head out. 

I didn't bother telling my dad I just hang up on Natalie and phoned Noah. He agreed to meet me at her house. 

It was the longest 10minute drive ever and I probably broke all the laws just so I would get there faster. 

I and Noah pulled on the street at the same time. As we got out the cars we were walking towards her house.

˝Have you tried calling her?˝ I asked him.

˝Non stop- no answer!˝ it was as if a knife was pushed in me.

The front door to her house was open, but there were no cars parked outside. We looked at each other and went straight inside not caring it might be dangerous. When we got inside it was cold. and there was blood at the bottom of the stairs. 

It looked like there was a fight, as we looked around. 

˝Emily?˝ no one answered. 

We went upstairs and found an open room. It was completely trashed and on the floor was a phone ringing. It said, Noah.

It was Emily's phone, Emily's room... But where was she?

˝Dude, look!˝ Noah said pointing at the broken bloody glass. I hope she is okay.

When we couldn't find anything or anyone at the house I called my dad and told him everything. He was mad and told me to come home to better yet the police station, so we could report this. 

I was now in Noah car, and we were headed to the police station that is a little further ahead from our house. And then something caught my eye.

A figure limping on a dark sidewalk...
