Jillian walked down the stairs with Jared behind her. She had packed only two bags because she knew she was going to be just next door. The girls were distracted by Eunice so Jillian didn't say anything to them, she didn't want to upset them anymore. She sighed as she looked at them. Eunice looked up at her and smiled slightly but Jillian didn't pay any attention to her. She was busying watching her nieces as they colored and chatted together. Connor and Murphy were outside smoking so she walked outside after a few seconds.

" You ready to go, Love?" Connor asked her. Jillian crossed her arms over her chest as she nodded. Both the brothers put out their smokes at the same time. Connor looped his arm around her and grinned at her. He tugged her towards their house. " Got your room ready still." Murphy put his hands in his pockets as he walked behind them.

Murphy took the led once they were in the house. Connor had went into the kitchen to grab a beer for himself. Jillian slowly followed him up the stairs and down the hallway to where her room had been. He opened the door to her room and stepped inside. Jillian walked in as he faced her. She looked uncomfortable as she looked around.

" You changed rooms." She said. She noticed some of his things were in the room. There was a basket in a corner of the room and it was filled with his clothes. The basket was something she had made them start to do when she came to stay with them. Murphy put his hands back into his pocket as he nodded.

" After you were taken, I move my stuff in here. I wanted to be around your stuff." He admitted softly.

" I can't take your room." She said, completely shocking him. He had been thinking they would share a room, he been hoping, but her statement made it clear to him that was not going to happen.

" Ah, it's okay. I can go back to the other room." He said. She dropped her bags and walked over to the bed. She sat down and sighed.

" What time is it?" She asked.

" Seven." Murphy answered. She was staring at the floor. " Why don't you go and take a bath to relax? I can make you something to eat." He said. She shook her head.

" I think I just want to go back to sleep." Jillian said. She finally looked up at him. " I'm sorry for kicking you out of your room."

" It's okay. Whatever you need to feel comfortable. So I guess I will leave you alone." He said as he took a hold of the door knob.

" Thank you, Murphy. For everything." She said. Murphy nodded before he walked out, closing the door behind him. He leaned against it with his eyes shut. All he wanted to do was curl up in bed with her, wanted her against him. They didn't need to have sex, he just wanted to be with her. He wanted to comfort her and make her feel safe again.

Jillian woke up to find her hands tied at her wrists. Her hands were above her head and she was in a bed. Her head was pounding and she suddenly remembered Antonio hitting her in the head, knocking it into the car's window. The room was dark and she could feel someone breathing beside her. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness she looked to her left side and found Antonio sleeping beside her. There was a gag in her mouth and it was cutting into the sides of her lips. She closed her eyes and started to cry silently.

Murphy had went outside to have a smoke, later that night, and when he came back into the house and up the stairs, he listened in by her door to make sure she was okay. When he heard her crying, he opened her door and said her name. When she didn't respond to him, he walked in farther and saw that she was crying in her sleep.

He crouched down beside her bed and ran his hand through her hair. He said her name softly and tried to sooth her. After a few minutes she quieted down until she was no longer crying at all. Murphy sighed and rested his head on her bed. He wanted to climb in bed with her but he didn't move. He continued to run his hand through her while he thought about what to do.

Jillian woke up and turned onto her back. She had been plagued by nightmares all night. They weren't just nightmares, they were memories. She stared at the ceiling for a few minutes then shook her head and turned onto her left side. She looked at the floor and jumped. Slowly she sat up, holding the blankets to her. Murphy was laying on the floor beside her bed. He had a pillow and a blanket. He was laying on his stomach, head turned towards her. His breathing was slow and steady. She almost whined at the site of him. She had spend her year away, wishing he'd find her, wishing he'd rush into the house she was being held at and wisp her away but it never happen. Now he was laying on the floor in front of her and she didn't know what to say or do with him.

Antonio had made her do horrible, unmentionable things, things she would never tell anyone she had done. She was dirty and didn't deserve to be with someone like him. She didn't deserve to be around Jared and her nieces but she had no where else to go. Jillian promised herself she would never tell anyone of them what happen to her, didn't matter how many times they asked, she wasn't going to tell. She didn't think she could handle to look of pity or disgust they'd looked at her with. She didn't want their pity. She didn't need it. And as far as their disgust, if she saw that on their faces she was sure she'd die.

Jillian ran her hand through her hair and laid back down. She turned away from him and continued to think to herself. She wasn't sure how long she had been laying there when she heard Murphy start to move. He groaned, something she knew he did when he was starting to wake up. She snapped her eyes shut. She might not deserve him but knowing he was sleeping close to her made her feel better. She didn't want him to know she knew he was there. He stretched and groaned again before he stood up. She felt the mattress shift a second before his smokey, spicy scent came over her. He brushed his finger tips against her cheek to move her hair out of the way. She felt him over her for a few seconds before he kissed her temple. He rubbed his forehead lightly against her hair then pulled away from her. She stayed still while she heard him gather up his things and cross the room. She didn't move until she heard her door open then shut.
