1. Prologue

"You just don't get it do you? If I can't have her. No. One. Can!"

At those words I dropped to my knees. "Please" I begged but the phone was silent. And then I heard a scream that shattered my world before the phone went dead, my hands all but crushing it. "Please" I whispered again, "I love her" I cried, but it was too late.

He had her.

I had no idea where she was....

And if I didn't find her and soon, it was clear that I would never see her again.

"NO!" I screamed out in frustration smashing my fist into the floorboards.

She was my everything. If I lost her, my world would be forever thrust into darkness. If she ceased to exist, so would my reason for being.

I couldn't bear to think like this. I had to do something. I had promised to protect her and I had failed...

NO! Not yet, there had to be time. I pulled myself up from the floor and started to run.

BPOV

He had me pinned to the wall. His forearm pressed against my throat. I couldn't breathe. Black spots began to form in my vision. I can't give up, I won't, for him, I thought. Stay alive for him.

Suddenly he released me and I sank to the floor. Lying there with my cheek pressed to the cold floor boards I closed my eyes waiting for the inevitable to happen. Don't scream, I told myself, don't give him the satisfaction.

I wanted so badly to give up, to give in to the heaviness that pressed down upon my body, crushing me. I coughed and blood pooled in the back of my throat. I tried to lift myself up from the floor but I couldn't move. My arms were useless and felt like lead. But it didn't matter, the cool floor felt good against my battered, broken body.

He was talking to someone and I caught the last of his words "...No. One. Can." he hissed through his teeth. He walked over and sighed. I tried to get up, come on, I willed myself. But I still couldn't move. He nudged one of my legs separating it from the other. I opened my eyes and looked at him, he stared back. Please, I thought staring at him, pleading with my eyes. Something shifted briefly in his, an emotion I couldn't place and then they were dead. He dropped my gaze but not before bringing his foot down on my leg, with force—breaking it. A piercing sound filled the air and it took only seconds for me to realise its origin. I was screaming.

He snapped shut the phone before throwing it at the floor near my face, shattering it. And so low I wasn't even sure I heard correctly he whispered. "I loved you... and you threw it all away."

"Most people don't repeatedly beat those they love to within an inch of their lives." I countered, not sure if my words were audible.

"I guess you're right." He called as he exited the room, closing the door behind him and thrusting my world into darkness.
