"P-please," I cried softly as Rory started to undo his pants, "Joe!"

"Don't you dare call for that t.wat. He can't save you now!" Rory spat.

I heard the front door unlock and Joe came running in.

"Get the f.uck away from my girlfriend!" Joe yelled, pulling Rory away from me and onto the ground.

Rory tried getting up and threw a punch at Joe. F.uck. Joe is so scrawny next to Rory, this can't happen.

Joe fell backwards from Rory's punch before getting up and kneeing Rory between the knees as well as getting a punch to the side of the head in.

"Stay away from her," Joe growled.

I've never seen him so angry.

I couldn't help but cry and what had happened, and what was happening. I move to the opposite side of my bed and sobbed. I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed for the police.

"What's your emergency?" Someone said through the phone.

"Please!" I cried, "He wouldn't stop touching me. My boyfriend showed up and now their fighting."

"Miss, please stay calm. Can I have an address?"

I quickly told him my address and he calmly told me police were on their way.

"I need you to stay on the phone with me. Okay? What's your name, miss?"

"Stop!" I cried as Rory hit Joe again.

"Shut the f.uck up!" Rory spat, turning to me.

"Miss?" The responder said, "Please stay calm. What's your name?"

"Who's on the f.ucking phone? M.inx, I told you I love you, just listen to me!" Rory yelled.

"Minx? Is that your name?" The responder said through the phone, must've heard Rory.

"Y-yeah," I sobbed.

"Minx, I'm Charlie. Don't worry. Police are almost there."

"Minx! Hang-up the phone, please baby," Rory said coming to me on the bed again.

"Get away from me," I sobbed.

"Minx, stay calm," Charlie said through the phone.

"I'm trying to!" I said through the phone.

Moments later, police barged through the door. Joe was on the ground, holding his face, a bruise already formed on his right cheek.

"Police!"

"F.uck, Minx, really?" Rory spat.

The police ran in and put hand-cuffs on both Rory and Joe.

"No! Stop! He didn't do anything!" I cried when a policeman put cuffs on Joe.

I had hung up the phone on Charlie as a female police officer sat on the bed next to me.

"Minx Levins?" She smiled.

"Mhm," I nodded.

"Let's talk. Is that okay?" She asked soothingly.

I nodded again as she handed me a blanket to cover myself. I didn't even realise I was still naked from the waist down.

"So what happened here?"

"W-well, my boyfriend, Joe, spent the night last night after my mum's wedding. Rory said he followed us from the wedding to find out where I live. But, Joe left this morning to do work and Rory somehow got in here."

"Calm down, you're safe now."

"Where's Joe? They can't take him away!"

"He's still here, he's in the livingroom talking to some of my officers."

"Okay. Once Rory came in I told him to leave, but he didn't. He told me that we should talk in my room, but I wanted to stay in the livingroom. He forced me through here. After pleading for me to be with him, he kissed me and starting touching me. When he was kissing my neck, I reached for the phone and called the first number, which was Joe, and I didn't say anything but cried and told Rory to get off me. He then took off my pants, but Joe got here in time before he did anything else."

"Slow down. It's okay, you're safe."

"Sorry," I breathed, "Then they started fighting and I called the police."

"Okay, honey. Don't worry. Why don't you put some shorts on?"

I nodded and grabbed my shorts and slid them on under the blanket.

"Can I see Joe?" I asked.

"Not yet, they're still asking him questions and he's getting medical attention."

"When can I see him?" I said, starting to cry again.

"Give me a second," She nodded.

She left the room for a minute before walking back in, Joe following. He was holding an ice-pack to his face.

"Joe!" I cried.

"Minx, baby, are you okay?" He said rushing over to me and hugging me tightly.

"No," I cried.

"I'm so sorry I left!"

"Miss, we're taking Rory to the station. You two should probably come as well," The police officer said.

"I don't want to see Rory," I sobbed.

"You won't see him. They've already taken him down."

"Hm, alright," I said.

Joe held my hand as I got up. I grabbed a sweater before following them out to the car. There were some neighbors standing outside watching.

I got in the back of the car next to Joe and he wrapped his arm around me.

"Shh, it's okay," Joe soothed as I leaned my head on his shoulder.

The police officer drove us down to the police station. They took Joe and I into a room together after I pleaded for Joe to stay with me.

The police asked all sorts of questions. My relationship with Joe, whatever relationship I had with Rory, and how this all came about.

After many hours of interviewing and tear-stains on my shirt, Joe and I were able to leave. Joe took me to his flat, mainly because I didn't want to go to my flat right now.

Joe's face doesn't look as bad as I thought, but he has a medium-sized bruise on his right temple and a small cut on his lip.

"Minx? How are you? Are you okay?" Caspar asked when we got to their flat.

"Umm..."

"She needs some rest," Joe said sternly.

"Oh, okay," Caspar nodded quickly and quietly.

Joe lead me down to his room. I laid on his bed and curled into fetal-position.

"Minx," Joe said quietly.

"Hm?"

"I love you. I'm so sorry I left," Joe apologised.

"You don't need to apologise," I managed to muttered.

Joe gave me a small hug before getting up to leave his room to let me rest.

"J-Joe, please stay," I softly cried.

Joe nodded and laid back down on the bed with me while I cuddled him.

"Shh, he'll never touch you again, that, I will promise. I won't let him," Joe said.

"I knew he was bad, ever since that nightmare I had. That's pretty much what happened."

"Sh, no. Don't. Don't dwell on it. Don't think about it. I know it's hard, but I'm here for you."

"Joe! I can't. It just keeps going around in my head. I want to forget it, trust me, I do. But I need something to help me forget it."

"And I can't do that?"

"You can. But right now, I think I need to rest. I'm sorry..."

"Shh, it's okay baby, go to sleep," Joe soothed, gently rubbing my back.

"Good morning, sleepy-head," Joe smiled.

"Hm?"

"It's morning."

"I slept all of yesterday's afternoon and night?" I groaned.

"Yeah," Joe nodded, running his hand through his hair.

I groaned and stretched on the bed, before getting up and putting my hair in a pony-tail.

"Want something to eat?" Joe asked.

I silently nodded and followed Joe upstairs, holding his hand.

"Hi Minxie. How're you feeling?" Caspar asked.

"I'm alright," I nodded, giving him a slight smile.

"That's good to hear," Caspar smiled.

Joe got me some food to eat, that I picked at a bit.

"Minx, you need to eat," Joe urged me.

I nodded and ate a bit more.
