A Week Later

Rydel's P.O.V.

It had now been a week since Noah took that drastic turn and started to abuse and hit me aswell as well.. Rape me. That wasn't the first time he'd done so though. He'd done it at least 4 times now and something tells me he's not gonna stop at 4 or at all.

Something inside of me is just wishing that Riker would get home soon. Maybe he could help. But if I tell him he'll tell Laura and then Laura will probably stick up for Noah saying he wouldn't do anything, then that would ruin their marriage and I don't wanna be the cause of that.

Maybe I shouldn't tell anyone.

I won't. I'm just gonna keep this to myself.

End Of P.O.V.

Rocky and Keely were both looking after Germaine for the day. Well. They had been since Riker and Laura went away, but mainly Rocky was and so far he was doing a good job on his own without Keely. But she was with him most of the time, and he seemed to be a great Uncle to Germaine.

Today Riker and Laura would be back and they would have to bring Germaine back to the apartment to them both. So right now they were getting everything ready to take him back.

"Got everything?" Keely asked. "Yes." Rocky said. "Sure about that?" She asked. "Yeah." Rocky said. "Where's his jacket?" Keely asked. "Oh sh-" "Rocky!" Keely warned "kid about." "Sorry.." Rocky said "I'm gonna run upstairs quickly." "You do that, I'll get him changed into some clean cloths." She said.

Rocky then disappeared upstairs. Keely shook her head before going over to Germaine.

When she got over to Germaine and began to take off his sleeve from his arm. But when she did he winced in pain. "You okay?" She asked. Germaine nodded. Keely then touched his arm again and he cried out. Keely then took his top off quickly but gently. "Oh my god!" She shrieked.

There were bruises on his arm. It looked like someone had dug their fingers into his arms. "W-who did this to you?" Keely asked. Germaine went to go say something but then Rocky came back into the room "Got his jacket." Rocky said. "Rocky, look at his arms.." She said. Rocky looked. His eyes widened "Where the heck did they come from?!" Rocky asked.

Keely stood up "Did you do it by accident?" Keely asked. "What?! NO!" Rocky almost shouted "I'd never lay a finger on him like that! Plus.. I think I'd know if I did!" "Have you left him with anyone when I haven't been around?" She asked. Rocky thought for a moment "Well.. There was yesterday," Rocky said "I had to go help Mom with something but I couldn't bring Germaine with me so I left him with No- Oh.. I'm gonna kill him. Then once I've killed him.. Riker and Laura are gonna kill him." Rocky then made his way to the door. "Rocky where are you going?" Keely asked. "I'll be back later." he said before leaving.

"ROCKY!" Keely called. But it was too late Rocky was gone. She sighed before sitting down.

Once Rocky left his own place, he basically ran to Noah's apartment building. He'd of called Rydel for a little bit of back up but the problem was she wasn't answering her phone and she'd been distant lately. He had the strange feeling something was wrong with her. That's not the Rydel he knows.

Oh well he'll figure that out later when Ross and Riker are back.

When he was outside of Noah's apartment he was going to knock. But why should he? If Rocky knocks it will be loud and aggressive then it's more than likely Noah won't answer.

Is Rocky thankful he opened the door without knocking? Yes and No.

Yes.

Because he finally knows why Rydel has been acting the way she has for the past 2 weeks.

No.

Because he just witnessed his sister being.. raped.

Nice.

He literally felt rage come over him "GET THE FUCK OFF HER!" Rocky shouted before running over and pulling Noah off Rydel before flinging him too the floor before giving him a good old kick to the ribs and a punch in the face.

Rydel then crawled over to a corner and put her cloths on properly before curling up into a ball and put her head in her arms, only watching a little.

"Listen, I don't care," *punch& "if you are Laura's brother" *kick* "but if you hurt Germaine" *kick* "or come near Rydel again!" *kick/punch* "I swear to god, I will not be the only you will have to deal with." Rocky threatened. Noah just nodded.

Rocky then stood up straight. He then gave him one last kick in the ribs "Ow!" Noah cried out in pain. "Now leave." Rocky said. "This is my apartment! You leave!" Noah said looking up to him. Rocky then raised his fist to punch him. "Alright! I'm goin!" Noah said before running out of the place.

Rocky then went over to Rydel "Rydel, I knew there was something going on with you why didn't you tell me sooner?" Rocky asked. "I.. I w-was s-cared." Rydel choked on her tears. "Of what?" Rocky asked. "That he'd do it again.." Rydel said "even though this is like.. the.. 5th time.." "5th time?! For crying out loud Rydel! Why'd you let him do it?!" Rocky asked shouting. "Stop shouting.." Rydel yelled, crying and putting her hands to her ears.

"Rydel, Rocky.. What are you doing in Noah's apartment?" a voice asked from behind. Rocky looked. Riker and Laura. "Well?" Laura asked. "Noah hurt Germaine," Rocky said "he left bruises on his arms. So I came round here to ask him about it whilst Germaine is with Keely. Then I walked in on him.. Doing something too.. Rydel." "What did he do?" Riker asked coming into the apartment further. "N-nothing.." Rydel stuttered.

Riker looked to Rocky who mouthed. Rape. "What?!" Riker shouted "he only did it once.. Right? Cause if he done it more then I'm gonna kill him." 5 times. Rocky mouthed. "She told me." Rocky said.

Riker then looked to Laura "Laura are you okay?" Riker asked. "Y-yeah.." Laura lied. "Laura, can you stay with Rydel?" Riker asked "Rocky come with me." Rocky and Riker then left.

Laura walked over to Rydel and knelt next to her "I'm so sorry Rydel.." Laura said "I didn't know he was capable of something like this." "I-its not your fault.." Rydel said. Laura frowned.

"I.. I need to tell you something.." Rydel said "I don't think your gonna like it. Neither's Riker. Neither's Noah.." "What is it Ry?" Laura asked. "This may be the 5th time he's done it.." She said. "Yeah?" Laura asked. "But.. He never used protection.." Rydel said. "So what doe- Oh my god.." Laura said "Rydel.."

"I'm pregnant, Laura.."
