Stitch These Wounds With Me Tonight

[Dylan's POV]

I woke up with a massive hangover and hear the shower running. Peeking in the bathroom, I notice a woman humming the chorus to a familiar song I can’t place right now. I wander down stairs to the kitchen in search of some Advil. There is a small square of paper on the floor, I pick it up and read it.

“Dylan, Dinner is in the crock on the counter and there is a six pack in the fridge. I had to go to Riley’s she needed my help. I’ll be back Monday after classes. –J”

Well I guess that means the mystery woman isn’t Jessa. Oh well. I grab a bottle of vodka and head back up stairs. I peak back into the bathroom and see Kate.

“Enjoying the view there sailor?” She asks in a raspy tone.

“That I am, that I am.”

“Ready for another round?” Kate asks with a hungry look in her eyes.

I take a long swig of my bottle and grab her wrist and pull her tight against my body.

"I'll take that as a yes."

I slam my lips into hers, pick her up by her thighs, and carry her to the bed.

"You're enjoying this I see." She smirks against my lips, and grinds into my dick, making it throb more.

I kiss down her neck, and bite her a little harder than I meant. Her hands are twisted into my hair, and mine are all over her sexy body.

"Dylan I want you now." She pants.

"Whatever you say." I smirk into her neck.

I line up at her entrance, then slam it in. I give her time to adjust and then I start to move. God she feels so good! I thrust faster and faster, trying to get as deep as I can. She claws at my shoulders, arches her back, and lets out a load moan. I can feel her bucking her hips with mine. Jessa isn't anywhere near this good. I grab her hip, and pull her toward me.

"Yes Dylan! Oh yes!" She gasps, which turns me on more. I go faster, I am so close.

"Dylan!" She screams, and releases her sweet juices all over my cock.

"Fuck Kate!" I yell as I cum hard.

I hear a sharp gasp and glanced to the doorway, seeing Jessa. A river of tears pouring silently down her face. She turned and ran from our room.

[Jessa’s POV]

I can’t believe he’d actually do this to me! I run crying my eyes out into Jinxx’s arms. He carried me somewhere. I think down stairs to the sofa. I can hear shouting and that woman yelling at Andy and Jake for something.

[Jinxx’s POV]

Oh shit! It’s happened to her too. I can’t stand letting her be hurt one more time by this douche! I ran down stairs with Jessa cradled so tightly into my chest. I made it to the recliner and am slowly rocking her and rubbing her back, trying to soothe her even a little. Matt crouched down next to us and handed me a cold bottle of water from the fridge for Jess.

“Jess, do you need anything else packed from up there? Matt has the boxes loaded we packed. I don’t want you to go up there. Andy and Jake will fix things for you while Matt and I take you somewhere else.”

“I need my clothes.”

“No sweetie, we’ll go buy you new ones. Don’t worry about that.” Matt told her.

“Tell Bubby I need my jewelry box. It was momma’s, he’ll see it on the dresser. It only has her stuff in it and it’s locked.”

“Okay Jess. Anything else baby girl? You only have to say the word.” Matt implored.

Jess shook her head no. I stood up with her still held in my tight embrace, and took her to the car as Matt watched my back. I got her in the back seat and started the car. I got in the back with her and stretched out my arms to her. She slid across the seats and leaned into my side. He ran back in to help Jake and Andy.

“Here sweetie, sip on this. For some reason it helps.” I hummed some of Savior to her for a bit until she looked at me with mournful eyes.

[Matt’s POV]

FUCK! I knew I should have stopped her from going in, she was just a bit quicker than I was right then.

I help get her downstairs and out as quickly as possible and go back in to help the other two. As I go back in to tell Jake about the jewelry box I hear Andy and Jake getting louder as a door slams. I take the steps two at a time, praying neither of the guys are hurt.
Just as I get in the bedroom I notice the bitch isn’t in here and the bathroom door is shut with light coming from underneath.

There is blood all over the front of Jake and Andy, and Dylan is sitting in the floor half propped against the bed. He looks as though he’s gotten less than what he deserves.

“Seriously, do I have to miss all the action?” I ask as I look to Andy.

“We went easy on him, but he knows the rules. Right fuck face?” Jake shouts at Dylan.

“Jake, I think he knows. No let’s get our sissy and her things and get out of here.” Andy looks like he wants to let Jake loose on Dylan again.

“Jake, Jess said to grab your mom’s jewelry box off the dresser. This looser can have the rest of her stuff as a reminder of how bad he fucked up the one shot he had at a good life with a great woman. All over some cheap whore, and his need to feel like a man through domestic violence.” I told him.

[Jessa’s POV]

“Jeremy, is this how you felt? How did you survive?” She sniffled and tried to scrub away the tears.

“It was the hardest thing I have ever been through, but I made it through because of my friends. My brothers in arms so to speak. They made me see that my ex didn’t define who I was. It wasn’t my fault that I was cheated on. The other party is the one that betrayed my love and trust. Dylan doing this to you is the most despicable thing. You never deserved anything he did to you or put you through. You’ll need to take each day as it comes, but each one will get easier after a while. You’ll find your true love eventually.”

All the feelings I had from my split with Anna are coming back. I’m trying so hard to be strong for her, but it’s not working well enough. Knowing that asshole did the same to her, and worse, breaks my heart in a million more pieces. I hug her tighter and wipe away her tears the best I can.

“Thank you Jinxx. I don’t mean to make you relive those thoughts to hurt again. You can leave me in here if you want. I’ll be okay.” Jessa sniffled some more.

[Jinxx’s POV]

“You sweet, selfless woman. I know you’re not trying to make me think about it to hurt me. I could never leave your side when you need someone. Now, or ever. Jessa, look me in the eyes…”

Her gaze slowly raised to mine.

“No matter what the time or distance between us, you can come to me or call me for any reason. I will be there to protect you from anything, or any one. You don’t have to live like that anymore.”

I try to pull myself together and hug her as we sit in silence in the safety away from the chaos in her apartment. Minutes later a bloody Jake and Andy come out with the last of the few boxes and head to the van, while Matt gets in with us.

[Matt’s POV]

“Here you go baby girl. Momma’s jewelry box, safe and sound.” I pass it back to her and give her an encouraging smile.

“Your mom would be proud of you for taking the stand too many women are too afraid to. You won what most that go through this don’t. 1 in 4 women willl be victims of severe violence by an intimate partner in their lifetimes. Sweetie, you don’t need to be another statistic about it all. The numbers only get worse. All that matters is getting you out of there and to safety.”

I give her hand a squeeze and turn back around to get us the fuck out of here.

[Jake’s POV]

Once we get back in the van and pull out I turn to Andy.

“Thanks for making me stop. It’s scary knowing I couldn’t stop on my own.”

“I completely understand. He was hurting our sister and then she walks in on him betraying and disrespecting her like that. You were there to make sure he never hurt her again, you did your job as a big brother. I was there to help in any way I was needed. I just didn’t see the need to stop you for a few minutes.” He gave me that crooked, shit eating, grin of his.

“Some superheroes we turned out to be, I think I broke a few knuckles on that last hit. I caught part of the bed frame.”

We looked at each other and let out a half laugh.

“Dude, don’t lie. I made a fantastic hero.” Andy joked.

He drove us back to Riley’s as quickly as speed limit would allow. I kept glancing back to Matt following behind us. I got a text from Jinxx.

Jinxx – She’s spent. Cried herself to sleep in my arms. Please tell me she won’t have to deal with that fuckwad anymore.

Jake – I can’t imagine how she feels. Thank you for being there for her. I know it’s got to be tough for you too. I’m still here if you need me. Andy and I will get cleaned up when we get back to Riley’s, and tell everyone else what’s going on. Then I need to get my hand checked out at the E.R.

Jinxx- You must have done a number on him. I’ll take Jess to the room we’re in and make sure she’s comfortable. You don’t have to worry about her anymore. We’ve got her man, she’s safe. Take care of your hand. We do have an album to go record. I’ll tell Jessa when she’s up.

Jake – Thanks Jinxx, I really appreciate what all of you are doing for us.
I go back to looking out the window for a few more minutes collecting my thoughts. So much has happened today, and it’s barely two o’clock.

“Andy, when we get in, we need to get cleaned up before Jessa wakes up and sees us. I don’t want her to stress any more than she is already. Jinxx and Riley are going to get her upstairs and settled. CC is making lunch, Matt and Ash will be unloading all this and getting the boxes ready to ship to LA. After you and I eat, I need you to take me to get my hand checked.”

“No problem. You’re definitely right about Jess seeing us like this. I know it’d push her too far
over.”

He looked as messed up and sad as I did. We pulled into the drive and got to it.

[Riley’s POV]

“THEY’RE BACK!” I yelled to CC and Ash.

Ashley immediately went out to help the guys where needed. I saw Jinxx get out of the
backseat with an unconscious Jessa in his arms. Tears flowed from my eyes and I looked on with my mouth agape.

“Jinxx, is she…”

He looked at me and mouthed “Just sleeping.”

I opened the door and let him through first. He motioned that he was taking her up, I am assuming, to his room. I grabbed some extra pillows and blankets, and a spare set of pajamas for her. Jinxx had her laid on the bed when I went in.

“Shoo now, I need to get her changed. I’ll grab you when you can come back in.”

I glared at him. I could tell he didn’t want to leave her. Something bad had to have gone down.

“We’ll fill everyone else in when we’re all settled.” He whispered to me while stepping out and softly closing the door.

I quickly got Jess changed and her makeup removed. The bruises I saw all over her made me cry a little more. I walked out the door wiping away my tears, sending Jinxx back in.

“She was whispering something about her savior. I think she needs you or Jake. I’ll be helping CC if you need anything.”

He nodded and went in. After he shut the door, I bolted downstairs and straight into Ash’s arms. Breaking down completely.
