Come Across a Stranger

Chapter 4

NatsuXOC

-PREVIOUSLY-

Natsu and Coco was walking home in an awkward silence maybe because

of the bruises on Coco's arms and everyone has been asking Natsu about it

all day, Natsu was still curious about them he wanted to ask but he'll just

get a plain answer as usual...

After about 5 minutes of walking home they were at Coco's house and she

smiled and hugged him and walked in but stopped as he was about to walk

away, "Natsu.. I'll ring you tonight" she said before walking in the house,

"Erm.. Ok" and Natsu walked away.

-NATSU POV-

I knew she was hiding something... Well thats what I think she wants to talk to me

about i'll wait until tonight until she does ring me if her parent is being abusive

I will take her away from that house and make her live with me if she likes it or not

I don't want my friends being hurt she is not a burden to me if she says she is I will

shout at her for saying that infront of me. She's a special person to me, yes I know I

just met her but she feels special to me the way she barely smiles at anyone but when

she's with me she smiles the way she says stuff and what she is trying to explain she's

just so special to me..

-COCO POV-

It's happening again... My abusive Father came home drunk as usual and started shouting

my name from downstairs and I went to go see what he wanted and next thing I know he tried

to knock me out so I decided to run for it round the house and hid in my room where he can't find

me my heart racing, also i'm starting to sweat due to running too much and tears welling up in my eyes

I can't bare the pain anymore I wish Natsu was here so he can protect me and hold me in his arms

where i'll be safe away from my father. Just wish he was dead and I could live a normal life with someone

else like Natsu he's so kind to me and the way he's sort of protective about me it makes me happy inside

that i'm actually wanted by someone, Father used to tell me that I deserved no friends and I was happy

being alone and I just agreed to his word, well he is wrong I am not happy being alone he just wants me

for himself he wants a daughter to take his anger out on and control all the time well he chose the wrong

daughter.

My older sister ran away from home when she was 7 and I was 5 she will be 16 today thats why he's

taking it out on me, he's just shocked that its been so long that we've seen her she did write to me

for a couple of months but Father found out about it and thats when the abusing started..

I should ring Natsu...

-NORMAL POV-

Coco was in her bedroom looking at her phone and she could hear her father stammering up the stairs

and when he was at the top of the stairs she quickly got her phone from her bed and searched for Natsu's

number and dialled it...

Natsu picked up the phone, "Hello Coco?" and all he could hear was screaming and someone being beaten up

he dropped the phone on the floor and told his parents to ring the police and an ambulance and he ran for Coco's house.

As he got to Coco's house the police has already arrived and told Natsu to wait outside and they broke into the house

after a few minutes Natsu's parents and sister arrived where Natsu was and the police came out with a man and shoving

him into a police car and driving off and the medics run into the house to check on Coco and Natsu ran in the house to

see how she was and she was barely concious and had to be taken to hospital.. Natsu's parents drove him to hospital

to go see Coco and when she was fully awake and bandaged they let her go home with Natsu since he was the one

who lived closest to her...

"Natsu...?" Coco whispered "Coco your coming home with me..." said Natsu as he picked her up bridal style and

went to the car...
