Rating: PG-13
Bosco woke up to the ringing of his phone; he picked up and heard crying on the other end.
"Who is this?" he asked, his voice both confused and concerned.
"It's me" was all the person was able to choke out between sobs.
"Faith?"
"Yeah...Fred left me and the kid last night. Bosco he...he hit me." She started crying harder now.
'That son of a bitch Bosco' thought to himself clinching his fist.
"Faith shh it's going to be okay, alright. I'll be over in ten minutes okay, don't move," he said in a soft voice.
"O.K" she cried. Bosco hung up the phone and dress quickly; he made it to Faith's apartment in record time. He knocked on the door. Emily answered the door in seconds, collapsing into his arms.
"Is mom going to be okay?" she asked trying to compose herself. "I'm scared uncle Bosco."
"Shh Em she's going to okay. I promise. She's just hurting right now okay?" Bosco said rubbing her back, trying to calm the young child down. "Where is she?" he asked as they walk into the living room to see Charlie playing with Hot Wheel set.
"She's in the bathroom," Emily said finally getting her crying under control.
"Can you stay here…take care of your brother for me while I talk to your mom?" Emily nodded. Bosco walked to the bathroom, knocking softly when he reached the door.
"Faith...Faith its Bosco. Can I come in?" She quickly unlocked the door. Seeing the pain in her eyes, Bosco gently led her inside, closing the door behind them. He turned to find Faith headed towards the bathroom. He'd barely entered the room when Faith fell into his arms, no longer holding back the pain and sorrow that filled her heart. Not sure how else to comfort her, Bosco held her tightly. He'd never seen her like this before; he wasn't sure what else he was supposed to do so he spoke to her in a soft voice.
"It's going to be okay" he replied over and over again until Faith shook her head.
"No…it's not okay Bos...he beat me...we were arguing…he'd had too much to drink…before he came home. He was yelling at me…about how I never come on time. The next thing I knew he started hitting me. He wouldn't stop…he kept hitting me. I begged him to stop…he wouldn't stop. I tried to fight back. I tried Bosco…I tired to fight back but he was punching me…he just kept punching me…over and over..." she cried shaking in his arms.
"I know Faith," Bosco said, rubbing her back. "I know you tried."
"...But it didn't work…he pinned me to the floor and he...and he" she started to continue but couldn't finish. He pulled her back to his chest, holding her while stroking her hair.
'I'm going to kill that fucking son of a bitch if that's the last thing I do.' he thought to himself. He quickly pushed those thoughts aside, focusing on Faith's immediate needs.
"Shh it's over Faith. He can't hurt you anymore, I won't let him. Faith, I promise I won't let him or anybody else hurt you okay? You have to believe that you mean way too much to me. I won't let you hurt like this ever again." He stated mentally wondering if he'd said too much because her as soon as he said it her head rose off his chest; she looked him in the eye.
"Thank you Bos...I don't know what I'd do without you. I...I love you.
