"Just For"
By Nickelback
I want to take his eyes out,
Just for looking at you,
Yes I do,
And I want to take his hands off,
Just for touching you,
Yes I do,
And I want to rip his heart out,
Just for hurting you,
And I want to break his mind down,
Yes I do, Yes I do, Yes I do,
And I want to make him regret,
Life since he met you,
Yes I do,
And I want to make him take back,
All that he took from you,
Yes I do…
There's no simple answer for what Ro wants. She wants normality. I suppose I could get in trouble for what I'm doing. I'm stalking her almost. She is my next target. I just see bits and clips of her. Sometimes she happy then suddenly she will fall to the ground in her backyard and start crying for no reason at all.
She has lost something important to her. Could it be the loss of Bennet that effected her so much? I wonder what she's lost that's so important to her. She's walking through the park right now. Her two little brothers are walking beside her. She smiles at them.
Suddenly I see the dark figure moving closer. Her face darkens suddenly with a hatred I thought she could only possessed for me. She pulls Jack and Jake behind her gently standing to face Warren with a grim face. I stand here wondering if it was all a lie.
How come I feel so betrayed? This isn't the first lie she's ever told me. It's just the first one to hurt me so though. Jack and Jake show their hatred for the man as well. Ro looked at him eyes filled with rage. "What do you want Warren?"
"Baby, come on I said I was sorry."
"Fine Warren but I don't want to talk about it. I have a family to take care of."
"Who's more important me or your two bratty brothers?"
"Jack, Jake go on ahead. I'll be right behind you." The nodded knowing they couldn't stay. Warren pulled her over.
"What's going on baby?"
"Just leave me alone Warren."
"Never. You're MINE!"
"I'm nobody's to own."
"Wrong answer." He punched her in the stomach. She struggled with him before smacking him on the cheek. She ran down the trail seeing her two brothers had saw the injury she had gotten from Warren. She took their hands telling them to run.
I sat in my car. I felt so betrayed but my anger towards Ro wouldn't help anybody. I decided the next day I would go to where Jake went to school. Form a plan how to save Ro from that guy.

Jake sat in his room. He looked down sadly. Ro was going to school today. Would Warren hurt her again today? He heard Ro's steps. "Hey kiddo ready to go to school?"
"Yeah." He walked up to her and held her hand. She stepped up to the car opening the door for Jake. He looked up at her. "Ro please don't let Warren hurt you."
"I can't control it."
"Leave him please."
"Jake I'm alright."
"Ro please he's hurting you isn't he?"
"No Jake not badly he just gets a little angry."
"Daddy says boys who hit girls are cowards."
"Jake I can take care of myself." He just sat looking away. She dropped him off at the school. He waved her off goodbye sadly. His teacher smile at him as he looked sadly. Ro left not seeing who was waiting in the parking lot.
Zee stepped up as Jake played with the other children. The teacher eyed him warily. "Miss can I have a few words with Jake Rowen?"
"What's your relation to him?"
"I'm a friend of his sister."
"Alright I'll ask him." She walked over asking the child about the strange man. He nodded running over to Zee.
"Zee I'm glad you're here."
"Hi Jake." He picked him up and hugged him. He rested his head against his neck. His soft blonde hair tickled his neck.
"Are you here to take Ro away?"
"I won't take her away from you Jake."
"You have to!"
"Why?"
"Warren he's beating her up."
"I know."
"And you're not going to do anything about it?"
"Yes but I don't need to take Ro away but drive Warren away."
"When are you going to?"
"Tonight. I'll be waiting in the parking lot at the nineties diner."
"Promise you'll stay the whole night?"
"I promise." Jake hugged him tightly.
"Jack and I are going to watch her at track practice to make sure he doesn't do anything while she's alone practicing."
"Alright I'll be there in the parking lot. I'm sure I can protect her if something happens."
"I don't want to see her get hurt again."
"Neither do I little guy."
"Are you going to make her your girl?"
"I'm gonna try."
"Good I like you."
"That's good to know." He hugged him tightly before setting him down and ruffling his hair as he left. His teacher thought what a sweet and caring guy he was. They needed more parents like that.
Jake turned watching Zee drive off. This had to be the most important thing he had been a part of in a long time. He had to keep a secret from everyone. Zee was a real super action hero and he was starting to learn his sister's stories were really real. Everything she told them as bedtime stories where real.
