Chapter eleven (Soda POV)

"Hey kid, why you looking so gloomy?" Darry asked sitting next to me

"Tia went off with Paul, her boyfriend"

"What? She has hurt you again! I do not know why you must stay with her! She is bad news for you!"

"Who is?" Kadee asked wrapping her arms around Darry.

"Your sister! She had run off with her boyfriend, Paul!"

"P-Paul?" Kadee visibly paled, "When?"

"Two hours ago. Why?"

"He was the reason she moved here, Soda! He isn't her boyfriend! Well technically he is but he does nothing but treat her like shit and hit her! Oh my god, I can't believe this! Excuse me" Kadee ran back over to her house.

"Oh no. Do you really think she was telling the truth?" I asked Darry. Darry looked worried and nodded,

"Come on, we're going to find her! I will get Kadee, she will know where we are going"

TIAS POV

On the second day, when I was sort of awake I got a shock. My mind was fuzzled so I thought that maybe it was a dream.

"Soda? Soda is that you?"

"Yeah it is, Tia" He smiled and he looked sad, "I'm so sorry I didn't believe you"

"Don't worry, it was my fault. I didn't tell you so you wouldn't have known. Please sit with me" I answered thickly, my mind was still very clogged up. Soda sat down and that is when I saw Darry and Kadee.

"He beat you up real bad this time didn't he?" Kadee looked real upset, I didn't mean to get her upset.

"Yeah. It was because I moved away and didn't tell him. I deserved it I suppose"

"NO! You didn't!" Soda yelled which startled me "Nobody deserves this, Tia, especially not you. You are the best most caring person in the world" I smiled.

"Thank you but you know we can't be together. Paul won't like it" That was the last thing I said before giving into sleep. The next time I woke Paul was sitting next to me.

"Oh you are awake, Tia! I am so happy" He smiled and squeezed my hand. I wondered why he was being so nice but realised it was because the nurse was in the room.

"I will leave you two alone then" The nurse smiled at us before leaving. 'No come back!' my mind screamed as she left.

"You silly girl! If only your body wasn't so weak then you wouldn't be here and I wouldn't have to pretend I gave a shit!"

"If only you hadn't beat me within inches of my life I wouldn't be here you worthless scum!" I thought that since I was in the hospital I would be safe but no, he hit me, just not as hard. I started crying and buzzed for the nurse.

"No don't! Tia! Stop crying, I didn't mean it!"

"Get the fuck away from me!" I pushed him as far as I could and was glad the nurse came in at that time, "Get him away from me please" The nurse looked at me strange but she escorted Paul out of the room. I soon passed out and was glad to be rid of Paul. Soda didn't visit me for the rest of the time I was in hospital and I thought that it was a good idea. The next few days passed by quickly and in a haze. I fell in and out of consciousness and the pain was starting to become a little bearable.

"Tia. You can come home tomorrow" It was Paul and he was smiling at me. I frowned and checked for a nurse but it was only us two. Why was he being so nice to me?

"Oh ok then" I replied not really knowing what else to say.

"I am very sorry for all this Tia, but we can put this all in the past and have a happy life together," He said this all with a smile.

"Yes we can, Paul. Why, if I may ask, are you being so nice to me?"

"I have been thinking and I saw how much you seemed to like that other guy," Paul's eyes turned into a glare but then he smiled again, "And I want to make you that happy. I don't want to make you sad and upset, I love you Tia"

"You don't know what love is" I sneered. Paul would not trick me again. He had done this once before and look at where we were now. His face distorted and his smile turned straight into anger.

"Well then you are staying with me and I can make it very unpleasant for you"

"I have lived through nearly two years of it so I think I can put it up with it for a little while longer. Now come pick me up tomorrow. Go home now" Paul looked at me angrily and I was scared he was going to hit me again but he just stalked out of the room. I let out a sigh; life was going to be very bad for me from now on I thought. Little did I know that would all change.

NEXT DAY

"Thanks" I smiled at the receptionist as I signed out. Paul was waiting outside for me and even though I hated him, I could not deny he was very handsome. Maybe he did really want to change, maybe.

"Hey Paul" I smiled and hugged him. Paul seemed a bit taken aback by this gesture. "I was thinking and I was to hard on you yesterday. Can we start over? Just forget everything that has happened" I knew that I could never forget everything that had happened but I could put it all behind me for the safety of myself. You never know Paul may become gentle.

"Are you sure?" He looked at me sceptically but I smiled and nodded. He smiled and kissed me, but not as roughly as usual. I could get used to this, I thought. I thought how weird Kadee and Soda would think I am but I was doing this for my own protection. If I didn't do this then who knows if he would stop from killing me. Little did I know my effort was never needed.
