(Jill's POV)

The only thing I could think about as I woke up was the massive headache that I was having. I started to open my eyes, to find myself looking up at a solid black ceiling. I sat up and looked down at the bed I was just sleeping on, which was solid black also. I definitely wasn't going crazy but I didn't remember having so much black in my room. Then I looked up and saw the three shelves of comic books aligned on the walls and realized where I was. But how in the world did I end up at Eli's house? I couldn't remember anything from last night.

Then a knock came at the door and I saw Eli standing there with a small very cute smirk on his face, "Looks who's awake."

I rubbed my eyes, and then looked at him again, "How did I end up at your house?"

"Good morning to you, too." Eli said, shaking his head and smiling at the same time.

I rephrased my words, "Good morning. Now, how did I end up here?"

Eli laughed, and then sat down on the bed next to me, "That's what I wanted to ask you. You came to my house, banging on the door and then when I opened it up, you passed out in my arms. So, I brought you upstairs and let you sleep in my room. All night you were mumbling about your dad, some person named Scarlet, and a foster home. Is there something you want to talk about?"

I stared down at my hands as I tried to make a decision on whether to tell Eli what happened or not. I wanted to open up to him and tell him because he would probably care but something in me was telling me not to tell him. Ignoring that part of me, I told him. Well, the parts I could remember anyways. I told him about the large amount of vodka my dad and Scarlet had, how my dad threw me against the wall, and how I drank a whole bottle of vodka (explains my massive headache). I still couldn't seem to remember how I got to Eli's house. He told me that a BMW convertible was outside, and I instantly knew that it was my fathers, so I guess I knew now how I got here.

"Your dad threw you against a wall?" Eli said, with every bit of anger forming up in his voice. His eyes narrowed and he stared at me, waiting for a response.

I nodded my head, and Eli quickly got off the bed and grabbed the keys to his hearse off the dresser.

"What are you doing?" I asked, following him down the stairs.

He turned around and I could see the anger practically crawling out of his skin as he stared at me. His eyes were full of rage and he was clenching his fists tightly.

"I'm not going to let him get away with this." Eli said, turning back around and opening the front door.

I grabbed his arm and he turned back around to look at me.

"There's nothing you can possibly do to stop him, Eli. And if you try to, you'll probably end up getting hurt too." I said, trying to persuade him to stay here and not get involved in my family's problems.

"I really don't care. If you're getting hurt, that means I'm getting hurt too. And I'd rather me to get hurt than you to." he said, turning around for the final time and shutting the door behind him.

Then I heard his hearse start up and drive off. I closed my eyes hoping that maybe, just maybe everything would be fine one day.

(Eli's POV)

God, I just want to fucking punch a wall right now, I thought as I speeded down the streets, driving to Jill's house. Seriously, what kind of father tells their daughter they hate them and that they should put them in a foster home? And what did Jill ever do to him? Nothing, nothing at all! Well, from what she told me, she didn't do anything wrong at all.

Finally, after my mini rage inside my head, I arrived at Jill's house. Her fathers black Lexus truck was sitting outside, so I knew he was definitely home. I got out and slammed the door of my hearse. And I never slammed a door of Morty, I snapped on people who did it. I walked up to the front door and pounded on the door, until her father opened it up.

"Jill, you finally-" he was saying as he opened the door, and then stopped when he saw me standing there. He looked me up and down then looked back at my face, "Who are you?"

"I'm Eli Goldsworthy." I said, angrily staring him in the eyes. It took everything in me to not pound his face in then and there.

"Do I know you?" he asked, with one eyebrow up and the other in its normal position.

"No, but your daughter does."

"So, you know where Jill's at? She disappeared last night while I was at work and I've been worried sick about her since I came home and she wasn't here. Plus, my other car is gone so; I'm thinking she took it."

"You're not worried sick; you're lying through your teeth. She told me everything that happened last night, from your drunken ass throwing her against a wall to you telling her you hated her and that you should put her in a foster home. What kind of fucking father are you?" I snapped. I actually didn't mean to snap on him but once he told me those lies, it just blew me over the edge.

"Young man, I am an adult, and you do not talk to your elders like that." I could see the anger forming up in him but I didn't care at the moment. He hurt Jill, and that meant war to me, "And whatever Jill told you were lies. I care about her and I love her and I would never tell her that I would put her in a foster home. I wouldn't event think about it. So, could you please tell me where Jill is?"

I could see past his lies and the fake sincerity in his eyes. I wasn't like everyone else, who believed someone when they put on a fake face. I could always see past it and Jill's dad was just another person to see through.

"Jill's at my house and she won't be leaving anytime soon." I was going to protect Jill in anyway I could.

"She needs to be in this house by tonight or else I'll be forced to call the cops." her father said, sternly.

I laughed at his poor excuse for a command. I had dealt with the cops before, it wasn't anything new and he had more dirt than me. He'd be put away before the cops would even get to me.

"Well, she won't be coming home anytime soon because I'm not letting her come here to get hurt again by you. And if you do come to my house I'll have to call the police on you because child abuse is legal. And Jill has the bruises to prove you did it."

Her dad had seemed to get annoyed with my persistence on keeping her away from him so his nice face went away and his true expression appeared. The one I could see all along.

"The bruises could be from anything or anyone." Her father said, "Look kid, I'm trying to be nice here. Bring my daughter home tonight or things will be very ugly for both you and Jill."

Then he shut the door in my face. I had the urge, a very deep urge, to break down the door and pound her dad's face in until he was unconscious but I didn't. Because that would equal me being put in jail, and once Jill's dad regained his consciousness back, he would beat her all over again. And then beating him would be useless but the thought was pleasing.

I took a few deep breaths then walked back to Morty and drove back to my house. When I got there, Jill was sitting outside my house, on the doorsteps.

"Eli!" she called, running over to the passenger window and ducking so her hand was practically inside my car, "What happened?"

"Get inside." I said, unlocking the door. She got in and sat down.

"So, what happened?" she asked.

"Long story short, your dad wants you home tonight."

"I don't want to go back to that hellhold though." Jill said, looking out the window like she was too afraid to look at me.

"No one said you had to." I smirked a devious one at her.

"So, I'm just not supposed to go home?" she asked, looking at me confused.

"Exactly." I said, turning the radio up, "Because, I'm going to kidnap you for tonight."

I put my foot on the gas pedal and pressed down. Then the hearse sped off, leading us to nowhere but somewhere. I had nothing planned for tonight but everything in the world was possible.

Gosh, Eli is so cute when he's mad. This has nothing to do with the story but I'm watching Try Honesty and when Eli and Fitz are fighting, he's just so hot! And when he puts on that devious face when they're against the wall after the police took their wallets, I melt. I mean, ugh! I need to meet him right away. Anyways, review, favorite, go crazy!
