'Don't touch her,' he pleaded with firmness in his voice but remained where he was for her sake despite wanting to rip his head off. Tia was shaking with fear for her as well as Rocket. She thought it was over but she was wrong.
'If I want to touch her, I will,' he replied, digging the knife in closer to her throat, this time, succeeding to draw blood which made it even harder for Rocket not to launch at him and made Tia sob harder as well as flinch in pain. However, Rocket remained his ground. 'Now…' he began and looked to Rocket. 'You stay there…' he ordered before turning to Tia. 'And you, come with me so I can tend to my business,' he ordered and grabbed her arm and lifting her from the bed while still keeping the knife at her throat. 'Don't follow,' he ordered Rocket before dragging a naked and scared Tia out of the room. Rocket gave himself a few seconds before rushing around the room, trying to think of something fast so he could save his lover. That something though, he still didn't know what…
Tia's Dad continued to drag her down the stairs and out the back door but since he had removed the knife from her throat, she was continuously shoving against him, trying to break free from his grasp. She knew Rocket would try and save her but she had to get out from harm's way first. They second they reached the back garden, the dog (Hannah) from next door began barking, realising something was wrong but her Dad didn't even hesitate and took her down to the dark alleyway beside her house where no one would see what was happening. The second they were out of sight, he violently shoved her against the wall and she whacked her head before her Dad knelt down in front of her. Tia recovered enough to close her legs, bring them up to her body and wrap her arms around her since she was naked just like he had forced her to be the first time and it was freezing out. However, that meant that her shoulder was still visible and her Dad saw this before lightly grazing the blade along the scars he had left the first time, making Tia turn her head and breathe heavily in fear. However, she was surprised that not tears came. She closed her eyes and prepared herself for the pain. However, she immediately sprung open her eyes and turned her head back round when she suddenly heard her Dad yelp in pain…
Rocket was continuing to pace back and forth, now panicking about his lover's current safety. He came to a halt when he suddenly heard some barking from outside. He ran to the window the lead into the back garden and saw Tia's Dad dragging her along but she was putting up a struggle which he knew was to buy him some time. That's when he noticed the neighbour's dog barking hysterically at them as if he knew something was wrong and a sudden idea hit Rocket. The second he thought of it, he ran out of the room and bombarded down the stairs into the back garden, now being quiet as he knew her Dad had probably taken her into the alleyway beside the house. He sneaked over the neighbour's fence to the dog that was still barking in the direction of Tia and her Dad, completely ignoring the presence of Rocket. The dog was chained to its house and judging by the bark, he could see why. That didn't stop him quickly managing to release him from the chain and the dog ran in the direction of the alleyway, quickly followed by Rocket. Rocket kept out of sight from her Dad as the dog quietly approached them but made sure he could see everything. Her Dad started to lightly graze the blade across her shoulder, making her shut her eyes in fear but her Dad let out a immediate yelp of pain when the dog bit deep into his leg making Tia open her eyes and turn to see what was going on. Rocket then took that chance to approach her Dad and while he was distracted by the dog, Rocket wrestled the dagger out from his hand so he couldn't hurt Tia no more. Rocket gave her Dad, who was now lying flat on the ground in pain from the dog that was still biting at his leg, a punch in the face to knock him out when the police showed up…
Rocket and Tia were sitting on his bed that night after many interviews and many other things. Tia had to get the back of her head stitched up as well as her throat bandaged up and the police had told us that he had escaped from prison but promised they would keep a closer eye on him. However, Tia wasn't completely assured which Rocket noticed and could only do his best to try and assure her that everything would be fine even if he wasn't so sure himself. Tia had asked to spend a few nights in his house because after two incidents with her Dad in her own house, she was a bit wary of staying there and Rocket and his Dad welcomed her and her Mum in with open arms. Right now, Rocket and Tia had retreated to his room for some alone time while their parents were downstairs, probably talking about the recent incidents.
'I can't believe that after everything we've been through it's still not over,' Tia confessed to him, venting her feelings to the one person she could openly confess her feelings to and who would understand whatever she said.
'It is over now Tia, I promise you,' he tried to tell her but she gave him an uncertain look and broke down in more tears which Rocket then comforted her. 'It's over…I know it is,' he whispered into her ear comfortably, hoping that if she believed he thought it was then she would to. Thankfully, she believed him a bit and began to relax and pulled out of his embrace to speak to him.
'Maybe you're right…but that still doesn't ease my worries. I guess I just need time to get over it,' she explained even though she really had no clue as to what she was saying.
'Tia, no one expects you to be yourself within hours after everything you've been through, especially me. In fact, I'm surprised at how fast you recovered from the last incident even if your still not 100% especially after today. You are probably the strongest person I've ever met and I honestly don't know how you manage to cope with it all,' he confessed to her with total honesty. How she managed to stay so strong after what happened he didn't know.
'I've been going through it for so long I just sort of get used to it,' she said but Rocket couldn't believe what he was hearing. It made him resent her father even more which he thought wasn't humanly possible since he already hated him so much that it was incomprehensible and he took her face in his hands.
'Tia, no one, especially you should have to get used to going through that. No one deserves that much pain and fear. I can't describe how resentful I am of your Dad because he caused you that much pain you got used to it. It's horrendous. And you deserve so much more then what you're getting out of life which is why I will make sure no more harm comes to you, even f it kills me. You out of all people don't deserve that,' he said to her earnestly. She could tell he meant every word of it but she didn't get one thing so she asked him.
'Rocket, what…what do you see in me? I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just…no one's ever cared for me the way you have and I just, don't see what's amazing about for you to love. I don't know, it just doesn't make sense!' she exclaimed, not sure as to how he could love her so much when she thought there was nothing about her that someone could love. Rocket however, thought completely differently.
'You don't see how amazing you are Tia. You're so strong and passionate and you're just…stunning. If you saw yourself through my eyes, you'll realise that. After all you've been through, it's not surprising you find it hard to see how special you are but Tia, you're so special. And not just to me. Everyone around you feels breathless when you're there even if they don't show it or realise it themselves. But I realised it the second I lay eyes on you, I really did. Something just clicked. Every time I'm with you, I feel like…like nothing else matters and that every bad thing I've ever felt has been healed. And I never want to lose the feeling I get when you smile at me…' he said, making Tia blush. '…or even when we kiss, that's magical. I love you more than you can even imagine and that will never change, I swear to you. Tia Lovato, I love you…more than anything,' he confessed to her and Tia wordlessly leaned up and kissed him, tears of joy pouring down her face. Even though they had said it many of times before, both of them knew that that was the sweetest kiss they had ever shared. After a while, they broke away for air but left their foreheads together and Rocket could Tia breathing breathlessly, making his mouth water.
'I love too. I love you so, so much,' she whispered before kissing him again, the tears of joy flowing like a waterfall and even Rocket couldn't hold back his tears of joy. Even after all they had been through, their love for each other remained the same. In fact, it had grown stronger. No one knew as to how or why it did but the couple didn't question it. They believed that it was too good to question or lose. So, with that in mind, even if they broke-up or were forced to watch the other be battered and bruised, they would love each other, together or not. But thankfully, they were together and they wouldn't have it any other way…
