To protect the one he loves

Chapter Two- How did it come to this?
Later that night, Aelita was in Jeremy's room, as usual. He undressed her to her underwear and hit, kicked and did anything to her that would cause pain. He finally stopped and said, coldly,
"Get up." Aelita stood up and he smacked her so hard she fell.
"You are worthless."
Jeremy finally left and Aelita scrambled to get dressed and get as far from his room as she could. She ran through the halls in till she found Odd.
"Odd, please help me," she cried.
"Aelita, you need to stop Jeremy somehow. Let's tell Mr. Delmas," he suggested.
"Odd, how did it come to this? Me running from Jeremy?" Aelita asked quietly.
"I don't know. It will end though," Odd assured her.
They went into Odd and Ulrich's room.
"Hello, Aelita," Ulrich said. Odd whispered something to Aelita. She shrugged her shoulders. Odd went to get the first aid kit and Aelita rolled up her sleeves. Ulrich looked and gasped at all the injuries on her.
"Aelita, who did that to you?" he asked in shock.
"Jeremy," she answered simply.
"What!" Ulrich exclaimed. Odd came back out with the first aid kit. He bandaged her arms, then, as normal, she took off her shirt and he treated her back.
"Lets go," Odd told her.
"Where?" she asked.
"To Mr. Delmas, of course," Odd answered. The two went to his office and were told that he was gone for the night. They had to come back in the morning.
They went to their separate rooms, each hoping to see the other in the morning.
