Steven's POV

It was the next morning and luckily we had no school today and I got the whole day to spend with myself. I taking a walk at down the coast of the city. I got to hang out with a couple of friends that I met at the board walk. We chatted for a while. But soon they had to go.

*Time Skip*

When they left I began to walk over to the board walk. I saw Lapis standing at the edge of the board walk. I gasped and quickly ran over to her.

"Lapis, what are you doing?" I asked her as I cautiously walked closer to her. She turned to me with she still looked beaten up. She began to cry, I walked over to her and embraced her in a hug. I felt her bury her head into my chest.

"What's wrong?" I said in a soothing tone as I caressed her back.

"It's nothing" she said as she clung to me. I gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Your crying there must be something that upsets you. You can tell me, you know. You can always tell me anything.." I said to her hoping she will tell me.

She sighed and didn't say anything.

"I'm not upset about something, I'm just happy. My parents never let me go outside and they are abusive to me and today was literally like the first day I ever get to go outside. I'm not upset I'm just happy."

"Then why are you standing so close to the edge?" I asked her.

She laughed "I was looking down at the water" she said in to me as she brought her face closer to mine.

I began to blush, she looked at me straight in the eyes and smiled. I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips. She giggled, we separated and I gave her a hug. We walked away from the board walk, I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer to me. We sat down at the beach as I brought her closer to me.

She sat in front of me and I placed my arms around her stomach and held her close to my chest not wanting to let go of her fragile body.

Soon I looked up into the sky I could see the sky turning orange and other shades of hue we both watched the sun set in the distance above the orange like water. We both sighed at the sun setting and that meant it was time to start heading home, Lapis never wanted to go home she was terrified of her parents. I told her if her parents hurt her again, I will get involved.

We began to walk home and I walked with her since I didn't want her to go alone. I grabbed her hand as we began to walk to her house in the dark of night. When we got there I could hear people screaming in there I felt her shaking as she started to cry.

"I can't go home!" She said in a shaky voice. I looked at her with surprise. I held her hand and she rung the door bell, I can't tell her parents were dating her parents are already abusive to her. I hear the house go quiet as the door opened.

Her father looked at us with a furious look. I felt Lapis trembling, I held her hand hoping that would calm her down and I could she tears falling down her eyes.

"Who are you?" The man said to me. I felt scared of Lapis' father and I don't know why.

"I'm Lapis' best friend at school." The man looked at me then looked at my hand as I held Lapis' hand tightly. I heard him give me the look of death as if looks could kill I would be dead. I felt him forcefully grab Lapis as she let out a shriek of pain.

"Hey man cool it" I said as I grew angry and he shut the door on my face. I could hear Lapis screaming pain as her father was yelling at her for having a boyfriend and them not knowing about it. I grew angry and began to bang on the door. I quickly look through the window and see Lapis being dragged upstairs as she was screaming and crying and trying to get out of her fathers grasp.

I felt my heart race and I felt hot tears fall down my face. I clutched my hand trying not to beat against the window.

I ran to the door and began knocking on it. I could her Lapis letting out a terrifying scream like she was being murdered. I felt a rush of anger flood through me. I banged on the door and I gasped and cried. I heard someone open the door.

I gasped and saw her mother crying. She opened the door for me, letting me into the house.

"Where is she?" I asked in a fast voice but also a bit shaky.

"They are in her room" she said sitting on the couch. I growled and went upstairs with caution. I can hear Lapis pleading and begging for her father to stop. But kept yelling at her, I growled and went upstairs. But when I got upstairs I hear nothing but silence. I felt tensions in the air. I walked over to Lapis room. It was destroyed and I saw her on the bed her body looked lifeless.

I walked over to her with caution, looking around in the process.

"Lapis?" I said in a quiet voice as I got closer to her. She didn't respond and so I placed my hand on her hand checking for a pulse. I sighed luckily she was still alive but she wasn't safe here. She had cuts everywhere on her face and all over her body. Her cloths were ripped and I didn't know what to do.

I felt my soul jump out of my body as I hear the door close behind me. I growled and turned behind me, I could see her father over with something in his hand but I didn't know what it was.

"You shouldn't be here" he said to me in a furious voice. He came closer to me, "stay back!" I yelled at him. He laughed and launched himself at me and tackled me to the ground.

I grabbed his hand so he couldn't hit me. I glanced up to where Lapis was and I felt angry for what did and I wasn't going to let him harm her again.

I bumped my hips up and he fell forward a little and that gave me some room to get out from being under him. I quickly escaped his grasped and I tackled him as we hit the book shelf and books began to fall on us. I let out a yell out of pain. I felt something sharp hit me.

It was a piece of glass that went strike to my face and felt the pain. It hurt like hell but I wasn't going to give up.

Somehow a book knocked her father unconscious and that gave me time to get Lapis out of here. I sighed and got off her father who unconscious, I walked over to Lapis who was on the bed and who was also unconscious. I pick her up in a bridal style like way and carry her down the stairs.

I see her mother sitting on the couch like nothing happened. I give her a mean look and walk out the house and to my house.

Since I didn't bring the car I was going to have to carry her back home on foot. It was eight o'clock on night and I felt like I was going to fall because I couldn't keep going. I needed to get Lapis away from her abusive family and she looked to beaten up to get another beating from anyone.

*Time Skip*

I finally made it home and my father had noticed Lapis and he went to go get some medicine for her. I carried her upstairs to my room. I gently placed her on my bed as I went to go take a shower.

As I was getting my cloths I hear Lapis groan she was starting to come back to consciousness. I look behind me and see her moving in the bed and I walked over to her.

"Hey, it's okay. Your safe." I said in a gently whisper. I moved her hair out of her face as I got close to her.

She opened her eyes and looked at me with a confused look.

"What happened and where am I?" She said as she rubbed her head.

"Your at my house and you got knocked unconscious by your father" I said as I brought my hand to her cheek. She smiled at me as she placed her hand on mine and sighed. I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips.

"Steven?" She said as we kissed.

"Your shower is running" she said to me, I gasped.

We separated, I looked at her and laughed.

"I'll be back" I said she smiled and laid back down on my bed.

I walked into the bathroom and got ready to take a bath.
