AN:I'm so sorry I neglected this story I was busy and wrapped up inAmy newstories and work and 10th grade, but here's a new chapter I hope you enjoy.

"Riley?" He whispered. "Riley get up."

My eyes shot open and I saw a blurry figure overhead. "No! Don't touch me please!"

"It's Logan you're okay I need to talk to you."

I looked around and yawn. "It's early."

He nodded. "I know, James and I need to talk to you."

I rubbed my eyes gently and winced at the bursies. "N-No Logan."

"He won't hurt you tell please, he wants to help."

James slowly walked in and waved. I wrapped my blanket around myself. James looked at me then Logan and frowned.

"It's worse than Abigail."

"I know." Logan argged. "He said he'd stop."

I felt my lips tremble. "W-Who?"

The two boys sighed. "Carlos abused his old girlfriend too." James admitted. "It was before we came here. He'd beat her."

My heart dropped into my stomach. He did this to someone else. "Was it bad?"

Logan bit his lip and frowned. "She was with him for 4 months before she left him. It was bad he'd stalk her and harass her. One night we were all going over there to celebrate because we won a tournament and we had a party and Kendall walked in on him punching her." Logan whispered.

"She told us he did because he was stressed." James added. "She wanted out and we beat the shit out of Carlos, she transferred a week later. We still talk sometimes but she's depressed."

I felt tears cut into my cheeks. "How c-can he do this? I love him, and he does this in return? I love him." I cried into Logan's shirt.

James smoothed my hair down. "You need to leave him. He's bad for you."

I shook my head. "No I love h-him and he loves me."

They shook their heads. "Riley." Logan pleaded. "He kicked you out and look at your face. You need to leave Carlos."

"I can't do it. We live together, we work at the same place no. Were having a rough spot."

James scoffed. "So? Riley he beats you, it'll only get worse Abigail said he tried to rape her."

I inhaled sharply and let tears slide down my face. "He doesn't mean it. I just can't be a good girlfriend so he disciplines me."

"No Riley he's abusing you! Christ just look at your face that's him being an asshole-" James was cut off when there was pounding on the door.

Logan stood up and went to answer it. I bit my lip and tried to breathe normally again.

"Carlos? Hey what's up?"

I froze and clenched James' hand.

"Have you seen Riley we had a fight and she left. She won't answer her phone and I'm worried."

I opened my mouth to call for him but James put his hand over my mouth.

"No did you check Camille's?"

I whimpered into James' hand as he shushed me. He shook his head and looked at the door.

"So what did you guys fight about?" Logan asked trying to sound innocent.

Carlos laughed nervously. "Just some shit, nothing major. I'm just worried she isn't answering or at home."

"I'll keep an eye out for her."

Carlos mumbled his thanks and slammed the door behind him. I turned to James and shoved him away and grabbed my phone.

"What the hell? He's worried and you let him leave!?"

James rolled his eyes. "If you go back he'll hurt you!"

Tears streaked my face and I sighed. "Maybe I don't care, m-maybe I need him. I love him and he loves me."

James groaned. "Please Riley, look at yourself he beats you."

I stood from the bed and sighed. "No shit Sherlock. I'm trying to leave him but I need a plan first."

James bit his lip and touched my face. "You deserve better than fucking Carlos."

"I know but I love him."

Logan was standing at the door and he frowned. "Why?"

"He's sweet and he's funny. I know he's a jerk but he makes me feel good when he's not hurting me."

"Yeah and which happens more?" Logan hissed and then scoffed when I was silent. "Thought so."

"Logan please, you don't understand us. I really care about him he loves me."

"No he doesn't he came over the other night and got wasted and bitched about you."

I froze and remember how he came home and smelt like vodka and how he beat me up. I inhaled sharply and put my hand on my stomach where he kicked me. "He b-beat me that night."

James frowned and hugged me tightly. "W-Why?"

I looked at my socks and frowned. "I wrote a song about him and he got mad when I sang it for Gustavo, Kelly and Griffin."

"See! You wrote a song and he beat you he's insane Riley I mean why dont you see that?" Logan cried as he ran a hand through his hair.

"He loves me that's why."

Logan shook his head and hugged me. "I know but he needs help."

"Sometimes I wonder if he really loves me."

"He probably does but he hurts you and tries to control you." James pointed put as he fluffed his hair. "We don't want him to hurt you."

I sighed and bit my lip. "He already d-does."

Logan stroked my bruised cheek and shook his head. "What if he kills you? I can see those bruises on your neck."

"He wouldn't do that though! Look I don't like what he does I deserved it!" I screamed at I shook up and picked up my own clothes and shoes. "I deserve this!"

"And why's that?"

I looked down and tears fell down my face. "I wouldn't agree with him so he took it into his own hands and shoved me."

James went to speak but my phone buzzed. I glanced at the screen it was Carlos, I quickly answered and hoped he'd be nice.

"Hello?" I whispered meekly.

"Babe thank god are you okay?" He actually sounded relieved. "I'm so sorry about that night it was out of line just please come home."

"I-I'm fine I uh just needed time to think so I got a cab and crashed at a motel."

Carlos exhaled. "I will never do that to you again."

Logan's jaw was tense and James was biting his lip. "Really?"

"Of course I love you I'm sorry baby."

I shook my head. "Um I'll be there soon."

"Good see you soon."

I hung up and James glared at me. "You're going back!"

I flinched at his tone and he immediately softened. "Yeah."

"You can't."

I put my clothes back on and grabbed my phone. I walked up to James and Logan, I kissed Logan's cheek and when I went to peck James' he touched my black eye.

"You can leave him."

I kissed his cheek and smiled a little. "Yeah and maybe one day I will, but right now I can't."

I shut the door behind me and stepped into the elevator. He was right but for now I had to stay, I didn't have a choice.

"Carlos?" I whimpered as I walked inside, the apartment still smelt like his cologne.

There was no reply from him as I looked around and found our apartment to be empty. I walked into the bathroom and jumped in the shower, I tried to let the warm water soothe my bruised body and calm the butterflies in my stomach. Once I got dressed a towel dried my hair and put a little eyeliner on when the door open.

"Carlos?" I asked softly as I stepped into the living room.

Carlos grinned at me and wrapped me in his arms and kissed me, I fit into his arms and inhaled his scent. "Baby I missed you."

"I missed you too."

Carlos shoved a bouquet of flowers into my hands, he stroked my cheek. "I will never do anything like I did last night. Okay?"

I looked into his eyes and he didn't waver I gulped and thought of James' words. I ignored the thought and kissed him.

"I'm never going to leave you." I whispered into his ear even though I was terrified to say that. "I'll stay with you forever."

AN: Riley's so trapped :/ Should she listen to James and Logan? Reviews are appreciate d I'll update soon! I swear.
