Please chapter 3

Beck POV:

"Why do you need to get your family out of the house?" I ask giving her a confused look

Her face turns from calm to scared.
"Jade Tell me what's going on. Please you can trust me." I look her in the eye and see a single tear fall down her silky cheek. "Come here." I say comfortingly pulling her into my chest. I stroke her hair while she sobs. After a while she pulls away.

"Beck promise me you won't tell anyone about what I am about to tell you."

"I promise."

"Well a little over a year ago my dad got into a habit of …. Beating me." she says sadly.

My eyes widen in shock, I was not expecting to hear anything like that. I take a deep breath and tell her to continue.

"He used to just yell at me a lot. But it got more and more frequent and it soon turned from mental to physical. He didn't just hit me; he hit my mom, Jordon and Rosie. But I was by far the worst." More and more tears stream down her face.
"I was the tough one in the family, I always reassured them that one day we will be free of him. I always protected them and took their beating, and now that I'm not there … I just don't know what I'm going to do."

I kiss her cheek and she flings her arms around by neck and sobs into my shoulder.
She soon falls asleep in my arms so I lay her down next to me and watch her sleep.
I have waited so long to be able to hold her and be able to hug her again.

I just can't believe her dad beats her. I mean I always knew he was judgemental and volatile but I would have never thought he would go as far as to hurt his 2 year old son.
I allow myself to fall asleep in jade's embrace knowing that she is safe and that she will always be safe as long as I am with her.

Jade's POV:

I wake up later that day wrapped in becks comforting arms. My face was sticky from the previous tears.
I run my fingers through beck's soft fluffy American hair that I have always loved so much. He looks so cute when he is sleeping.
I give him a soft kiss on the lips and whisper in his ear "I love you beck." I entwine my fingers with his and just watch him sleep for another half an hour before his chocolate brown eyes flutter open.

"Hi." He says groggily pushing back the hair covering his face. "So are you hungry?"

My attention turns to my now growling stomach. "Yeah I'm starving here!"
He chuckles a little and then says "Come on, let's go get some food."
I nod eagerly and grab my bag from the bottom of the bed. I stand by the door watching Beck as he slips his wallet into his jean pocket.

"You ready?" I ask

"One sec." He goes into his closet and pulls out one of his hoodies.

"Here wear this you still don't have a jacket."

"Are you sure?"

He nods and hands it to me. I gratefully accept it and put it on over my shirt.

"Thanks Beck."

He smiles and takes my hand in his while we stroll along a strip of restaurants looking for a place to eat. We end up going to Pizza Express!

"Beck what do you think I should do about my dad?" I say chowing on a piece of crust

"If you want my honest opinion then I think you need to call the police."

"Beck I can't if I call the police my dad WILL kill me."

"Not if he is in jail, where he is supposed to be."

"Beck you don't know my dad, he will find a way to persuade them that he had nothing to do with it, and he will make the rest of my family go along with it."

"So what do you suppose we do?" he asks in a calm tone

"I don't know." I say disappointingly

"Well whatever you come up with I will help you. Just promise me you won't do anything reckless like try do fight him off on your own."

"I Promise." I say squeezing his hand.

Just in case you are wondering, Jordon is Jade's baby brother.
