Frantically she handed the opened his hand and gave him the money, "Look here's the money and I'll pay the rest somehow. Have a good night" she said then quickly ran back to her car.

Slamming the door she started the car and pulled straight onto the road, looking in the rearview she could see the man standing in the same spot watching as she drove off.

That guy was creepy as fuck... hopefully I never run into him again.

Eva pulled up in the drive way, she finally made it home before the sun nearly set, but that won't change for what awaits her inside. Reaching up the steps Maria tried putting in the front door key to unlock it when the door quickly opened, revealing a very pissed off Rick.

"Get your skinny ass in this house" he sneered while gripping at her arm and yanking her inside.

She nearly fell down when he let go, she landed on the end of the couch arm and stood back.

Looking over she could see one of Ricks side pieces on the couch napping , before she could turn around Rick grabbed a fist full of her hair and brought her over into the kitchen.

"Where the fuck have you been, you should've been home two fucking hours ago!" he yelled then pushed her against the fridge.

Eva turned around and stood up ,"I didn't mean to be late, I got into an accident."

"The fuck you mean you got into an accident?!" he yelled this time getting really close up on her.

When ever he'd get like this she'd be scared at what he'd might do, but she wasn't haven't it anymore. With all her might she pushed him away and stood her ground,.

"I didn't mean for it to happen, I was trying t hurry to the store and got side hit by somebody!" she yelled.

Rick looked at her then ran a hand through his hand, Eva watched his actions closely, not knowing what he might do next.

"So you mean to tell me that someone hit you and that's why you're late?"he asked.

Cautiously she nodded in response, he chuckled then put a hand on her shoulder.

"My bad, I didn't mean to react like that. Why don't we go grab a bite to eat with the money I gave you.", Eva felt a sudden feeling of fear.

Hesitantly she responded, "I..umm... I don't have it."she stuttered out.

Without warning Ricks hand collided with the side of her face, causing her to fall to the floor on her side.

"The fuck you mean you don't have it?!" he yelled standing over her.

Eva began curling up in a ball like she always does when he gets to this point, her arms shielding her head, 'I lost it during the accident." she said.

Causing him to kick the side of her body, Eva groaned against her arm in pain. There was no point in explaining anything to him when it gets like this, she just curled up tighter and tighter.

"Fucking little bitch, how the hell are we suppose to eat tonight. That was all I got from Stacy this morning." he yelled.

Eva used the fridge to help hoist herself up and stand," Maybe if you got a damn job you wouldn't have to beg for money" she mumble but didn't realize that he heard it.

"The fuck you say to me?!" he yelled then grabbed the front of her jacket and threw her across the kitchen , Eva landing on the kitchen table and hit hard against her rib cage.

Before Rick could do anything Stacy came running into the kitchen, and over to her.

"Rick stop it, Stop it. The hell is wrong with you?!' she yelled while getting in between him and Eva.

"Stay the fuck out of our business!" he yelled at her.

Eva looked at him then felt Stacy pull her close, "She's just the kid, the fuck you beating her like shit for?!'she yelled then started walking out with Eva.

She could hear Rick yelling behind them but didn't bother to listen, Stacy walked with her up to her room.

"I am so sorry sweet heart...no one should treat someone this way. He has no right to put his hands on you." she said while standing at her door.

Eva sat down on her bed and looked at her, if only she knew what goes on when no one's around. Stacy has been around for about two weeks now, which is longer than the past girls been with, Eva liked this one better than the past ones.

"I'm gonna go see if I can calm his punk ass, don't worry about a thing ok sweetie.?" she asked , Eva gave a soft smile and nodded.

Smiling Stacy went on and closed the door, Eva waited till she heard her completely down the steps before going over to lock the door. Standing there quietly Eva could hear Stacy and Rick arguing, it started getting real ugly he heard a loud smack , she knew he hit Stacy.

When the sound of loud footsteps started coming up the stairs she heard Stacy yelling at him to leave her alone. Eva pushed herself against the door when hearing him coming, he started banging on the door, then started kicking at it when she wouldn't do what she say.

She could hear Stacy coming up behind him and yelling , "Leave her alone Rick, she didn't do anything wrong, just leave her alone!" she yelled then started screaming when the sound of him slapping her filled the hallway.

Eva could only listen and cover her mouth from crying, Stacy hardly even knew her but she's getting treated lie this for defending her.

"You aint her fucking mother, she's mine and I could do whatever the fuck I want with her.!" he yelled

This lasted for about five minutes till the sound of Ricks feet stomping down the steps and the front door slammed shut, Maria waited a minute or two to open the door. When she saw Stacy on the ground she quickly ran over to her, there were big purple and black bruises on her arms and face. Eva began crying and tried helping her up, Stacy groaned when she was sat up against the wall and looked at Eva.

"Oh sweetie..don't cry for me..I'm alright."she said while wiping away at Evas tears, this only caused her to sob.

"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry" she cried while reaching out to hug her, Stacy opened her arms and let Maria cry in her lap, soothingly she rubbed her head.

"It's alright..everything wil be ok."
