Chapter 4

Bea made her way inside as soon as she walked in she heard Harry on the couch watching tv he turned around when he heard the door close Harry got up and walked over to Bea

"Why weren't you home" Harry asked with a snarl

Bea was very tense she didn't know what to do

"I i got called into work Maxine needed me to take client" Bea said trying to convince Harry

"Don't lie to me you stupid bitch" Harry shoved be into the nearest wall and got in her face

"I'm not lying" Bea said hoping Harry believes her

"I already warned you don't lie" he slapped her

"And who the fuck is Allie" Harry asked showing Bea the paper Allie gave her with her number

"She's no one" Bea knew harry wouldn't be happy of her new friendship she didn't know what to say Beas phone went off in her back pocket "talk about horrible timing" Bea thought hoping Harry didn't hear it could only be Debbie Maxine or Allie

"Give me your phone now" Harry said

"Why it's just Maxine texting me back"

Harry shoved her again pinning her against the wall as he grabbed her phone

"Thank you for today I had a lot of fun" Harry was fuming now

"You lying bitch you said Allie was no one and you were at work"

Bea was going to respond to explain but she didn't get a chance to before she felt Harry's fist collide with her face a few times she felt her lips split and her nose bleed he shoved her to the floor than started kicking her she couldn't catch her breath she felt his boot hit her face then he stopped and walked to the kitchen for a beer be laid there trying to catch her breath "I need to get out of here away from him" she thought

"Get up you stupid no good worthless bitch" Harry said from the kitchen

Bea grabbed her phone off of the floor Harry must have dropped it she heard Harry's phone ring and him answer it she got up slowly and made her way to the door she finally made it outside to her car she started it and drove off not knowing where to go she drove around for a while until her phone started ringing beas heart raced hoping it wasn't Harry she looked it was Debbie so she pulled over an answered

"Hi Debbie" bea said trying to sound normal not like she was in pain

"Hi mum I was wondering can I stay the night here"

"Yes that's fine"

"Ok I'll call you tomorrow I might need a ride home love you"

"Love you to bye"

Bea hung up the phone I can't go home tonight Bea thought I could call Maxine no she will ask to many questions that leaves Allie I don't want to burden her with all of this her phone rang again she looked at it sure enough it was Allie what's up with her timing Bea thought

"Hey Allie" bea answered trying to sound in a good mood

Allie could hear in Beas voice something was wrong she sounded off

"Hey Bea are you alright"

Bea doesn't know what came over her why she felt like she could trust Allie so much

"No I'm not alright"

"Where are you be I'm coming to get you" Allie asked all concerned

"No it's ok I'm in my car"

"Come to my apartment Bea I'll send you the address I'm not taking no for an answer"

"Ok"

Allie sent Bea her address it only took ten minutes to get there Bea parked and stayed in the car for a moment I should leave I don't want Allie to see me like this Bea couldn't keep her tears in she let out a sob resting her head on the steering wheel bea jumped when someone knocked on the window she quickly wiped her eyes and looked to see Allie standing outside she unlocked her door

"Come inside Bea let me clean you up" Allie said as she took Beas hand in her own and lead her to the apartment Bea was quiet she didn't know where to start she didn't know what all Allie wanted to know Allie took her into the bathroom

"Here sit on the counter" Allie helped Bea on the counter

Bea could feel allies eyes on her looking over her cuts and bruises Allie looked livid and concerned at the same time

"What happened Bea" Allie asked

"It was Harry" Bea looked Allie in the eyes and saw hatred for Harry

"He was home when I got home he asked where I was I said Maxine called me in work he didn't believe it then he asked who you were while he held the piece of paper with your number in my face I said no one I knew he wouldn't be happy about me hanging out with you than my phone went off he grabbed it and read the message it was from you he flipped out and did this to me" Bea said not being able to contain her sobbing

"Oh Bea I'm so sorry I didn't mean for something like this to happen" Allie said as she pulled bea in for a hug

"Ouch" Bea said as she flinched when Allies arms wrapped around her Allie pulled back confused she made sure not to bump Beas face

"I'm sorry did I get your face" bea shook her head no then lifted her shirt to show Allie her bruised body

"I'm going to kill him" Allie was fuming she turned to walk away but was grabbed by bea

"Hey don't do that than what am I going to do when you go to jail for it" Bea joked

"He hurt you Bea"

Bea put her hand on allies cheek

"I'll be ok don't worry about me"

"Bea I will worry about you whether you like it or not"

Allie continued to clean Beas cuts wait where is Debbie she thought

"Hey Bea where is Debbie"

"She is at her friends for the night before why"

"I just wanted to make sure she was ok"

Beas heart warmed at how Allie was so protective of her and Debbie they don't know each other but she was still so concerned about her Allie finally finished and let Bea off the counter

"Well I better get going" Bea said

"You're going back" Allie asked kind of shocked

"No I'm not going back there I'm leaving Harry I'll go back for my stuff tomorrow"

"Where are you going to go"

"I don't know probably a motel"

"Stay her Bea you can have my bed I'll take the couch kaz won't be home until late tonight she's at the bar I'll make you dinner"

"I was already enough of a burden on you I can't do that"

"Please Bea you could never be a burden"

"Ok I guess I'll stay tonight" Allie smiled at this

"Ok I'll bring you some clothes you can take a shower I'll leave them on the counter"

"Thank you"

Allie left to go get Bea some clothes she returned a few minutes later she knocked on the door

"Come in"

"Why aren't you in the shower"

"I couldn't get my shirt off myself it hurts when I move both my arms"

"Can I help you with that"

Bea shook her head Allie took a breath and grabbed the bottom of Beas shirt she moves it off one arm at a time then slipped it over her head

"There you go"

"Um this is embarrassing but can you undo my bra I can do the rest"

"Yeah no problem" Allie successfully undid Beas bra she had to get out of there this was too much it's not the time to feel turned on by Bea

"Well it's almost 7 and I haven't eaten dinner so I'm going to make us something to eat while you shower"

"Ok I'll be right out"

Allie left the bathroom went to change in to an oversized t-shirt an tiny shorts she pulled her hair up then to the kitchen to make some dinner she went to her fridge to see what they had eggs milk and some vegetables was all she saw "I guess omelets it is" Allie thought she turned the radio on and started dancing and singing along as she cooked she heard laughing come from behind her she turned and saw Bea standing there smiling at her Allies heart skipped a beat seeing bea in her pjs was one of the best things she's ever seen

"What are you making"

"Omelets"

" breakfast for dinner is the best I always make pancakes and eggs for Debbie for dinner"

"Well then this meal worked out perfectly"

They both sat chatted and ate their dinner Bea felt better and calm around Allie she started really liking the younger woman but she had too much baggage allie wouldn't be attracted to someone like her she didn't even know if anything would come of the two.

Once Bea and Allie finished dinner they sat on the couch watching some tv Allie was leaning against the armrest with a blanket covering her

"Hey bea you can scoot closer get under the blanket I don't bite"

Be scooted closer way closer than Allie thought she would they were touching Allie put some blanket on her then she wrapped her arm around her

"Is this ok" Allie asked

"Perfect" Bea said as she rested her head on allies shoulder

30 minutes past when Allie noticed Bea yawning

"Come let's get you to bed you look tired"

Allie took Beas hand and intertwined their fingers she loved the feeling of their hands together

"Ok you can sleep in here do you need anything else"

"No I'm good"

"Ok well goodnight than" Allie started walking to the door

"Wait" bea said

"Yes Bea"

"Stay sleep in here we both fit on this bed" Bea sounded a bit nervous

"Ok" they both got in bed Allie turned the lamp off and laid down on her back she felt Bea looking at her

"Thank you Allie for everything no one has ever treated me this good"

"Bea you don't have to thank me I would do anything for you and that scares the crap out of me considering we just met"

"I know what you mean"

"Goodnight Bea"

"Goodnight Allie" Bea surprised herself when she leaned over and kissed Allie on the cheek she rested her head on her and wrapped her arm around her waist Allie couldn't believe bea was doing this she really hopes this means there was a chance for them they both fell asleep with smiles on their faces
