Shyla's POV
We stumbled in to bed that night around one exhausted from the heat, and asleep the minute our heads heat the pillow. Turning on to my side I struggled to lift my sleep heavy lids. Jesse was tossing and turning, and it almost sounded like he was… whimpering. Sitting up slowly I leaned over to shake him gently.
"Jesse," I said my eyes filling with tears as my brain started to process just what he was saying.
He shook like a leaf as he begged his tormentor to stop over and over again. He finally came to gasping for breath as he moved away from me taking a minute to collect him self and remember exactly where he was.
"Shy?"
"Its just me baby," I said sliding over to rest my hand on his face lightly.
"Oh my God," he said bringing his arms up to grasp me in a death grip.

Jesse POV
Panicking I wrapped my fist in her hair holding her to me. What had she heard? Did she know my secret? Rocking back and forth I fought the tears that were slowly making their way down my face. This was why I had been a love em and leave em kind of guy. The only see what I wanted them to see, and they were never around to witness weak moments like this. I was eternally grateful when she stroked my hair kissing me over and over without question. I wasn't ready to tell her about this just yet. I was still too afraid of how she'd react.
"Its ok baby, I'm here now," She said massaging my scalp with her nails as I slowly let us slide back in to a laying position.
" I love you ," I said before sleep enveloped me once more.
" I love you too," She said spooning me, taking the role of the protector instead of the protectee for once in our relationship.
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame
I would take all my shame to the grave

Shyla POV
The School weekend kicked off bright and early at Six a.m. and I cursed Dom as I stumbled into the bathroom, exhausted from worrying about Jesse for half the night. Throwing my hair in a messy bun I donned a pair of baggy khaki cargo and a pink hooded O'Neil shirt. Kissing a still sleeping Jesse I slipped on a pair of white Air Force Ones and headed out.

Jesse's POV
Hitting the alarm clock at eight I lay in bed for a while thinking of the nightmare I had last night. I was actually grateful Gaby was in school, cause I had no ideal what to say to her. She obviously knew something was wrong, and it was just a matter of time until she asked. Sighing I kicked the covers away and trudged to the bathroom. Heading to the kitchen thirty minutes later I decided I was ready to come clean. I had carried this secret long enough on my own.
Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one could ever see
Ten years later at twenty-one I was finally ready to put it all to rest.
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
~~~~~~~~~
Shyla POV
"Thank the Lord!" I said grabbing my satchel and rushing for the doors at the mid-day bell.
Funny how slow time can go when you're in school. Hopping in to my car I cranked the radio as I rushed to the market. I had to relieve Mia, so she could make her 1:30 class. This was her last semester and then she'd be a practicing nurse. Despite everything that had happened in the past year she was still getting her BA on time. The girl had a silent strength that too many overlooked.
"I'm here," I sang throwing my satchel in the office along with Dom who was going over the bills.
"How was your first day?" Mia asked making Dom glance up.
"Boring, but not too terribly horrid," I said rolling my eyes at his grin.
"Awesome, here's a list of the things I Need you to stock."
"Cool, et out of her before you're late," I said shooing her as I made my way behind the counter a little slower than usual.
I was getting better, but the school had a ton of stairs and they were taking a toll on my legs.
"You going to be ok here?" Dom asked as he stepped out of his office a few hours later.
"Yea, the store is never really that busy on Mondays anyways."
"All right, call if you need anything," he said rushing of to once more get lost in his land of cars.
"Who says boys grow out of it?" I wondered grabbing a car magazine as I took a seat on the stool behind the counter.
Hearing the howl of a high performance engine I set my magazine aside and whistling at the pimped out Spyder parked out front. Grinning I felt a swell of pride as a girl not much older than I got out.
"Nice ride," I said in greeting as she took a seat at the food counter.
"Thanks… that you're Gt?"
"Yea, what can I get you?"
"Turkey sandwich, light mayo, bag of chips, and a coke."
"You got it."
"Are you new here, cause I've never seen that Spyder around," I said sliding her a plate.
"Yea, I just moved her from Clearwater, Florida name's Delaney by the way."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Shyla."
We continued talking as she ate and I learned that she was twenty-one, and had just graduated from UCF with a BA in business management.
"So what brings you here?"
"Just wanted a change of scenery," She said shrugging nonchalantly as I nodded.
~~~~~~~~
Delaney's POV
When she asked me why I had come I had to struggle over the lump in my throat. The memories from the day and just why I had left were still too vivid in my mind.
************
I think im breaking out I'm gonna leave you now
There's nothing for me here its all the same
and even though I know that everything might go
go downhill from here im not afraid
Tossing my suitcase in the trunk I closed the door on her past with a click. Heart racing I started the car leaving the lights off as I eased out of the driveway, punching the accelerator as soon as she hit the end of her street. No more cowering in fear, taking beatings, hiding bruises. There was no longer anything to hold me back from all the things she wanted to do. I had won enough money from street racing now to make it on my own, and I had a B.A. to ensure I'd never want for anything. I would have left Florida a long time ago if it hadn't been for my dying Mother, and a full ride to college.
"Where are you staying?" She asked bringing me back in to the present.
"A craptastic hotel I found for cheap, I just got here last night, and I have no clue where to look." I said laughing.
"Well you know, I have a house not too far away that's not being used," She said flooring me, it must have been my Irish luck that lead me to her, cause she was almost like an angel in disguise.
"No way I could impose," I said shocked that someone could really care so much for someone they didn't know.
"It wouldn't be any trouble, the place is just sitting there, besides, I know how tough it is to be all on your own and alone."
"I- I- don't even know your last name."
"Spurlock."
"I'm M McCullough!"
"Black Irish!" we both exclaimed laughing.
"My friend will be back here around five, and then I can swing you by my place."
