COLLINS POV
-A few hours after chapter 6-
Last night was... Strange. I still have no clue what happened to Carson...
"Babe?" Madison said, knocking on my open door frame.
"Yes?" I said, looking up from my laptop.
"Can i talk to you about something?" She said "Its kind of important.."
"Anything." I said, motioning for her to sit down beside me on the bed.
She sat beside me, and i felt the tension in the room sky-rocket.
She gave me a look that told me this really was serious.
"Remember when I moved in here, a year and a half ago? And I cringed at anybody coming near me?"
I did remember. She was covered in bruises, and cringed from anyone who came any where near her. She hadnt wanted to press charges though. I dont know why. It killed me to see her in so much pain, weather she knew it or not. Weather i had known why, at first or not. I cried, everytime she would roll up her sleeve to show someone else her wounds and bruises. It tore me apart.
"Yes. I remember. Very well..." I said, Im sure there was strain in my voice.
"I dont think its been too long to press charges. Everyone saw my bruises when i first got here. They could testify. I just need to know that he is gone. For good." She said, her voice trembling slightly.
"Honey.. Listen to me. Your dad will never touch you again." I pulled her closer to me. "I swear." I whispered. We layed in my bed for hours upon hours.
It was about 4 PM and we had been laying here since 11 AM, I was in paradise.
But then, everyone realized they hadnt seen us since 9 last night and now we had fallen asleep.
"COLLIN!" I heard Sam yelling
"MADISON!" This time it was Tyler.
We both jumped off of the bed. Ty and Sam were both surging down the hall.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" They yelled in unicen.
"Dating. We were talking. about dad. and we fell asleep!"
Everything got quiet.
"I didnt want to talk to anyone else and i asked him weather i should press charges or if its too late. Thanks for trusting me!"
