"I SAID GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU WHORE!!!" My dad screams at me before whipping me with one of his leather belts. I whimper in pain scrambling to get my things, my fingers fumbling as blood trickles down my back. I grab my bags and take off running, my little rotty puppy tuck safely under my arms along with her brother. I need Angel now... I dont know what she wanted but I need her now. I manage to get to the bus station just as the bus shows up. I run on and the bus driver eyes my dogs. "Ma'm no dogs allowed." He says sternly. He's only about 50 and has a Marine symbol tattooed on his wrist. I turn around and show him my back, his jaw drops. "Sir please... I'm trying to get away from my dad. I'm going to my aunts. Please. They wont be no trouble." I say shaking slightly. He nods and I sit directly behind him, making sure the puppies wont cause any trouble. Just before he makes the last stop, I'm the only one left on the bus and he turns to me with a sympathetic smile. "Miss, if you give me the address I will gladly give you a ride there." He says and I nod, directing him to my aunts house. It's about midnight and I dont even know if she'll be up. I fish out a hundred from my pocket and hand it to the man. He looks at me mouth gaping slightly. "Shh... Just take it. I couldnt thank you enough." I say slipping off the bus before he can say anything. I practically run to the front door and ring the doorbell. I'm the only one who knows its there other than Angel. "OH MY GOD QUINN!!" I hear her scream and soon the door flies open, I smile weakly as she swoops up my things and leads me into the warm cozy house. I love her so much. "Quinn... what happened?" She whispers and I unwrap the jacket from around me, handing her the little boy. She smiles before taking in my blood tank. "Did he do this?" She murmurs more as a statement than a question. I nod and she takes my hand guiding me to the living room. "Guys I would like you to meet my neice Quinn, she's 18. Purdy I will have your life if you lay one hand on her." Angel growls and I suddenly realize who the men are. Its Black Veil Brides. "I w-wont." Ashley stutters suddenly very nervous. My knees go weak and he leaps to catch me. He swoops me up and I lay with my head on his lap, while Angel sits curled up to Andy. No Juliet, huh? "I'm gonna beat his sorry ass. Do whatever you want to me but never touch my little neice." I groan and roll my eyes. "Bitch I'm only 7 years younger than you!!" She looks sturnely at me and shakes her head. "Baby girl did you dye your hair? I'm so proud it looks nice." Angel compliments and I blush, rubbing small circles on the puppy's stomach. Ashley smiles down at me and then blushes as he realized I saw him. Weird. "Sparkles!!" Angel suddenly yells and I just laugh. "What?" CC says and she holds up the little rotty Lion King style. "Cute, how big do you think he'll get?" Jinxx asks and she shrugs, nusseling him up to her chest, a glint of jealousy hits Andy's eyes and I know there is a thing there. "So... how'd you get everyone here?" I ask and she chuckles before kissing Andy softly on the lips. "Well... it's not my place to tell you." She says and Andy nods. "Juliet cheated on me, so I ran. I ended up at Starbucks where Angel worked. She quit and I followed her, cause... well anyways she convinced me it wasnt my fault and that the guys cared. Then they all came here." He says and I smile before sighing. "Name her, Kellin." Ashley whispers in my ear. I smirk and nod. Thinking of Kellin Quin. "I'm tired..." Angel yawns and I nod in agreement, but just the thought of closing my eyes makes me shake. "Quinn what's wrong darling?" Ashley whispers softly and I sigh, before sitting up and leaning into him. "I-I'm afraid... I think my dad is going to come after me..." I whimper and he wrapps his arms around me, pulling me into him. "I'll protect you." He whispers and some how I believe him. I know he's a player but something is telling me to trust him. Jake, CC, and Jinxx are already in bed and Angel stands. "Sweetheart, what do you need?" She asks and I sigh, before yawning slightly. I don't feel safe... anywhere... "You c-can s-sleep with m-me... I mean.. Uh... like..." Ashley stutters nervously a hot blush heating his cheeks. Angel just chuckles and shakes her head. "Ok... thanks..." I whisper and Angel and Andy go off to bed, leaving me and Ashley. "Why you so nervous around me Purdy?" I ask and he blushes harder which I didnt think was possible. "I really don't know... but something about you feels... different." He mumbles and I nod before stretching, the puppy nuzzeling my fingers. I smile and stand up, Ashley's hand on my hip to make sure I don't loose my balance. He helps me up stairs and into bed. He lets me wear one of his shirts and I smile, inhaling his scent. It smells amazing. Kellin is asleep in his suitcase so he just lets her be. I pat the bed and he lays down, pulling me into his chest. It feels so...
