Thanks for all of the reviews! Here's chapter 10!

"Call 911!" Calleigh told Eric, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and went outside to get a better signal. Calleigh continued to try and find a pulse, she thought he had a weak one but wasn't sure. Calleigh's mom walked further into the hallway.

"Calleigh, is he going to be ok?" she asked.

"I don't know," Calleigh replied truthfully, "he's lost a lot of blood." Calleigh was trying to put pressure on the wounds to try and stop the bleeding, but there was a lot of blood. She turned around a looked up to see Eric stood there.

"The ambulance is on its way," he said looking down at Calleigh; she seemed desperate to save her fathers life despite what he had done to her. The door opened again and Mike and Dave walked in.

"Oh my god, what happened?" Mike said, bending down to try and help Calleigh.

"Eric beat him up," she answered flatly.

"It wasn't like that…" Eric tried to explain, Calleigh was angry with him, he didn't know why, after all the things he had just heard what was he supposed to do, shake hands with the man?

"About time someone gave him a taste of his own medicine," Dave said looking down at the man he hated so much, he also was struggling to believe how much Calleigh seemed to not want him to die. His dad had never touched him because Calleigh always got in the way, he still remembered the times when he'd beat her so badly she'd pass out and he, Mike and Joe would sit at her side trying to get her to wake up, every time they were convinced that this time he had actually killed her.

About 5 minutes later the ambulance arrived and they put him onto a stretcher and carried him away in the back of the ambulance, Calleigh's mom went with him and Calleigh gave them her card and told them to call her when there was a change in his condition.

As they all watched the ambulance drive away, Calleigh turned around and glared at Eric, she couldn't believe how he'd ruined everything, they were about to go home, they'd got through all this and then he had to go and do something stupid like this. She couldn't bear to look at him anymore and just turned and ran, she knew exactly where she was going, she just kept running hoping that no one was following her. When she got there she just sat and cried, how come everything in her life always went so wrong? Why was she never allowed to be happy for more than a few days?

Eric watched her run off, he knew she was angry with him, he wanted to go and find her he wanted a chance to explain his actions, he was trying to protect her, couldn't she see that, he didn't want her father to have a hold over her life anymore. He started to run after her, but managed to lose her before he even reached the end of the street, he turned around and walked back to her brothers who were still standing on the edge of the road.

"Give her some time," Mike said, trying to calm Eric down," she just needs some time to figure things out in her head."

"She hates me," Eric said, "I need to explain, it's just I heard all those things she and her dad were saying and I hated him so much, how could he do those things to her, she was just a kid."

"I know, but….."

"No you don't understand, I need to find her," Eric said walking off in the direction she had run.

"Wait," Mike said, running a little to catch up with him, "I know where she'll be." Mike stood talking to Eric for a couple of minutes, giving him directions, and then Eric ran off in one direction and Mike walked back towards his brother.

Eric kept running through the park to some wasteland on the other side and just like Mike had said there was a tree to one side in which there was a tree house, he remembered when he first talked to Mike that this was where they'd come and hide at night in order to avoid their dad. He walked over to the tree and managed to climb up a broken rope ladder and found Calleigh sitting inside rocking herself tears streaming down her face.

"Calleigh…"

"Eric, what are you doing here, get out!" She yelled back at him she was so angry.

"Calleigh please let me explain."

"No, he might die Eric, you could have killed him."

"But what he did, I heard what you said to him, what was I supposed to do?"

"Just leave it! You didn't have to do anything, she could have been on our way home now, but no you had to ruin everything, how could you do that to him?"

"He hurt you, he deserved it!"

"You see, how can I trust you now? You promised you wouldn't do anything but look what you've done. How do I know that one day I won't do something that annoys you and you won't do that to me?" Eric stopped, he couldn't believe she had just said that, he could never do that to her.

"Calleigh I love you, I could never do that to you."

"How do I know that's true? He said he loved me and look at how that turned out, I never even thought you'd be capable of something like this, but now I don't know what to think." Eric slid over to her and took hold of her hand. "Don't touch me!" she slid her hand free of his.

"Calleigh please, I just heard what you said, I just wanted to protect you, make sure he didn't hurt you." Calleigh softened a little.

"Where were when I was growing up?" She smiled at him, "I know you just wanted to protect me, but I needed to show him that he can't hurt me any more, and he can't I'm not scared anymore. Only now you gave him another way to hurt me, they could arrest you for this, you could go to prison, lose your job, what would I do then?"

"That won't happen," Eric said, he hadn't really thought about it at the time, he was just so angry.

"You don't know that," she replied and he knew it was true.

"Calleigh, I love you so much, I hate that man for what he did to you, why didn't you tell me everything before?"

"I didn't know what you'd do, I thought you'd be disgusted with me, I let it happen, I should have stopped it, but when I fought them, they did it anyway, and I'd get a beating as well, I wanted to tell you, I really did but I didn't know how you'd react, I've never told anyone about it before." Eric's heart broke, she looked so small and hurt just sitting there with tears falling down her face, he moved even closer to her and put an arm around her shoulder hugging her to him.

"I want you to know that you can talk to me about anything, and I mean anything, what they did was not your fault, you didn't deserve that, and you were just a kid there was no way you could have stopped it, even if you ad tried," Eric tried to comfort her, he wanted her to open up to him, she'd never told anybody about this, he figured her brothers didn't know either, Mike would've mentioned it before now, it must've been driving her mad, but you'd never guess to look at her, she was always calm and happy.

"I want to talk to you Eric, I really do, I want to trust you, but it's just…."

"I know its hard Cal, I love you so much, if you just let me in I promise I won't hurt you, never I love you too much."

"When my dad first…when he hurt me the first time, I hated him so much, but I still loved him, you know?" Calleigh began, "he's my dad and he always will be and I will love him, no matter what he does, I may hate him more but I will always love him. This is going to sound stupid, but every time he hurt me it seemed to hurt less, it was always the same, I knew what he was going to do, how much it was going to hurt and when it would be over. One day he told me I wasn't going to school, I didn't know what was going to happen but he waited until my brothers went to school and my mom went to bingo, he brought Jack around. He said they were going to have a little fun, it was horrible I thought they were going to kill me, the things they made me do, I didn't want to, I told them to stop but they just laughed at me. When Jack hurt me, it was different every time, it started to hurt more, it'd last longer and I didn't even know if I'd be alive when he did finish with me, he scared me. He didn't have a right to do that, my dad was my dad so it was as if at least he had some right, but Jack just worked with my dad, yet he hurt me so much, I couldn't stop him." Calleigh was still crying and Eric held her to him, he was glad she was opening up to him, he wanted her to let it out so she could move on, so she didn't have to carry this alone anymore.

"Your dad had no right to do that Calleigh, no right at all."

"I know that now, but at the time it just seemed so normal, I didn't really know it was wrong, it was just his way of punishing me." Calleigh jumped as her phone started ringing, she answered it "Duquesne."

"Ok right, I'll be right there, thank you," she spoke before hanging up.

"Who was that?" Eric asked.

"The hospital, it's dad….."
