ELEANOR's POV
I opened to door, greeted by seemingly coherent screeches.
"What took you an hour?" she asked.
"Chaos" I answered simply. I put the rum down on the table, and headed upstairs to my room.
"Hey, come back here!" cried Matt - The Boyfriend.
"What?" I snapped.
"I heard you got into a fight." He said
"Who'd you hear it from?"
"A friend of mine, runs the pub" he explained, "you also owe them money, loads of it" he said.
"Why?"
"First, medical fees, secondly, you broke a whole lot of their stuff."
Not my fault they tried to kill me in the first place.
"If you don't," he continued "you'll be kicked out of the house!"
I sighed. "Just so you know, this is my house. I have a right to kick out you and that self proclaimed mother that doesn't take the time to educate her children. Not to mention, her kids too." I said.
"That's not true, this is your useless father's house!"
"Don't talk about my father that way" I said. My fist automatically clenched. "Oh, and what if I do?" she raised her hand and slapped me across my face. I took the closest thing to my right - the bottle of rum, and when I was about to smash her on the head, Matt stopped me and kicked my stomach.
He punched me, kicked me and not to mention slapped me. He did three countless times...until I wasn't able to fight back.
"Take that you little naive bitch" he spat.
I lay motionless on the floor. Why do you hate me, god?
Why.
"You might want to apologize" said a voice. I recognized it...Eggsy...I slowly moved my leg to stand up, but I couldn't. "What was that?" asked Alyssa with a tone of panic. "You seem to forget that this is her house...her rules...her property..." he spoke again. I scanned the room, he wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"What the actual fuck is that?" cried Ruby from upstairs. A split second later, she and Rebekah came down the steps.
"Eleanor, meet me at the tailor down the street, understand?"
"If I can stand up" I said. "You are not going anyway, young lady" ordered Alyssa. I glared at her, she looked startled, and slightly scared. "Who said I was going to listen to you?" I said.
"You and your family might want to pack your things" said Eggsy's voice. Matt snorted, "why should we take orders from someone we cant see?"
Then, the doorbell rang.
"You might want to get that."
Alyssa slowly walked to the door, turned the doorknob...
The only thing I could see was shiny, black leather shoes...and an umbrella…
"You have been given a warning. Tomorrow you will leave this house, and never return. I suggest you get your things packed and ready to go." he said in a calm tone. "And you," he said turning to Matt, "you will never come back to this house, in fact leave. Right. Now." he said. Matt did as he was told and went out the house. Ruby and Rebekah went upstairs - to pack I guess.
I closed my eyes. Thank you...thank you...
I felt someone's hand slide under my shoulders and legs, my eyes flicked open. The first thing I was was a tie. I rested my head against his chest and allowed myself to drift off to sleep.

I blinked. The world slowly came to focus. I was on the backseat of a car. With a driver reading a newspaper.
"Finally awake?" he asked. "How long have I been sleeping?" I asked, "it's 9pm" he said. I sat up, "why are you saving me, Eggsy?" I asked. "You're lucky I put that tracker, mic, speaker on you" he said. "You mean this?" I asked picking up a button-like thing on my shoulder.
He turned to look. "You noticed?" he asked, "living in a house with those arseholes? I have to watch my back 24/7" I said shrugging.
"Care for a drink?" he asked "it's on me" he added, "it's been a long day, why not?"
I know I don't drink, but how often do you get a good looking gentleman to save your life thrice in one day, and offer to buy you a drink?
"Why do you have sunglasses on?" I asked, he took them off and replaced them with glasses, with lens.
"Lancelot, you reconnected?"
He said, I raised an eyebrow. "Alright, okay thanks" he said. "What the fuck is going on?" I asked.
"Can I have a Martini with..." He went on and on about the martini. When he finally finished he turned to me, "and for you?" Asked the waiter. "What he said?" The waiter nodded and went to prepare the drink.
"Oh...how could I have forgotten? You don't drink, do you?" Said Eggsy. "Yeah I don't...but it's been a crazy day" I said staring onto the floor.
The pub door opened, making a bell ring.
"Eleanor do me a favor" said Eggsy, I looked up. "Play along" he said.
Before I could ask why, he pulled me close and smashed his lips on mine. My heart raced.
Well, I guess this is the treat of the day.
One hand was on my waist and another...slightly lower. "This-is-you-version-of-play-along?" I whispered. His lips moved on to my ear.
"You see those men there? Your 12 o' clock?" He asked. "Yes" I whispered back. "I don't exactly have a good relationship with them, and they know me by being either rebellious or a gentlemen. The fat man dated my mother, and treated her poorly. And trust me, I beat the shit out of him" he whispered and kissed the side of my neck. "What does that have to do with you kissing me?" I whispered into his ear. "Blocks my face?"
I rolled my eyes. I then felt a hand go up my shirt, I stopped his hand. "Stop it" I whispered, "they're not looking!"
"Okay," he said, "now just...uhh..." He placed his lips on mine once more. "Slowly walk away" he said.
"I didn't even drink the martini yet"
"Go!" He said. He kissed me again.
I did as I was told and slowly rose from my seat, keeping an eye on the men.
I then heard Eggsy leave his seat. He caught up with me and put his hand around my waist. "Thanks" he whispered. I shot him a look. "And I'm sorry if I took your first kiss" he said again. I rested my head on his shoulder. "I still don't understand what the fuck is going on with my day." He chuckled. "I'm sorry" he said.
"Eleanor?" I turned around, Rebekah was standing with one hand on her hip. She barks out a laugh. "You, sir, have horrible taste" she said eyeing Eggsy with interest, "but you' are rather...easy on the eye. Don't hesitate to come find me" she said winking.
I looked up at Eggsy, who gave her a weak smile. "I won't be interested, miss. Thank you for the offer, but no thanks." he smiled innocently, and opened the car door, "Hop in" he said. I did as I was told.
Wherever he was taking me...it couldn't be worse than home...
