Again I woke to the smell of delicious breakfast food. this time it was blueberry muffins with scrambled eggs.

"I could really get use to this" I said and Rachel turned to me with a plate, and she just stared at me and blushed. "Like what you see?" I asked with a wink referring to her staring at me with my shirt off, and she went back to cooking. I put the plate on the table and went to rachel who was in the kitchen and I pulled her in close. "I didn't get a morning kiss." My hand went to her hips and I lifted her to sit on the kitchen counter, and we kissed long and passionately. I laid her down on the table thinking I was about to get more than just breakfast this morning. My hand went through her long hair and my other hand steady me on the counter. I began kisses on her cheek to her neck to her chest and...

"Your breakfast is going to get cold." She said, and I knew that was her signal to stop. I sobered up and got off her. We just stared at each other for a few the oven alarm was going off.

"My muffins." She jumped off the counter. I sat at the table eating.

"You know when I kiss you its kinda hard to stop." I said.

" Ive noticed."

"So what do you want to do today?"

"I have work."

"Do you get off early?"

" I can see if I can." Rachel said heading to her room and coming back out within a matter of seconds all dressed for work. "I got to go. Enjoy your breakfast." She kissed me and left. Since Rachel wasn't home to keep me company I decided to visit Wally for some guy talk.

"So where's Jinx at?"

"Out shopping. So what's up?"

"Well how do I say this, Rachel don't, you know." I said suggetively.

"Ooooooh. And she knows your Red X right?"

"Yeah. Well you know Jinx was telling her about this ex boyfriend she has, Malchior. I heard he messed her up pretty well, and thats another reason the professor is so protective over her. Rumor has it Malchior was in his class, and the professor failed him and kicked him out of the class, and sent a complaint into the school, and he lost all college credit. But who knows man, maybe you should just try talking to her.

At the diner

"Hey Diana, so guess what happen."

"What?"

"I moved in with him." Rachel said with a smile

"Oh sweetheart congratulations." Diana said giving Rachel a big hug. "So I take it things are going well then?

You really like him huh?"

"Yeah, yeah I really do."

"But..."

"He keeps wanting to...oh you know Diana, you were a 19 once too." Diana laughed

"Well dear, you go on and do things when you're ready. Dont get forced into doing anything like last time." Rachel rolled her eyes.

"I really wish everyone would forget about that and move on."

"Well Rachel you were hurting bad for a long time, what he did was messed up and you... you were not mature like you are now, but we all make mistakes."

"Order up." the chef yelled from the back. Rachel took the plate to table 3.

"Here you go sir."

"Why thank you Rachel." She recognized the voice and gasped it was Carl. Before she could run and get help he grabbed her wrist hard, "Lets go to the back alright." Rachel nodded, and he forcefully led her to the back. "I don't have much to say but let me tell you this. This is a warning." Carl punched Rachel hard in the stomach. She fell to the floor. Carl put a hand over her mouth so she couldn't scream and he punched her five more times. Once he was done he quietly went back into the diner paid for his uneaten meal and left. Rachel held her stomach and bit her tongue so she wouldn't cry. She got up off the ground and went into the diner.

"Diana I am going to go home early. I'm not feeling too good." She said hunched over grabbing her stomach, Diana was busy with kitchen for her too see Rachel was hurt. When Rachel got the apartment she saw Jason was there, and that was when the tears were streaming down her face.

"Jason!" she called over and over. Finally she opened the door and collapsed onto the floor. "Jason" She screamed and cried. I ran to her from my room I saw her on the floor and knelt down. I saw she was gripping her stomach so lifts her shirt to she a huge bruise forming.

"Who did this too you? Who?"

"Carl." She cried out. I picked her up bridal style and carried her to her room. I went to the kitchen and got some ice and advil. Once I got back the room Rachel calmed down a little I held her hand and she was squeezing so tight from the pain. "You said you wouldn't let him hurt me." She said quietly and tears continued down her cheeks.

"I know, I know." I put my hand to her face wiping some tears. "I am so sorry." I sat there on her bed till she fell asleep, and when she did it was time to pay Carl a little visit.

I entered the hideout so see Carl there waiting for me.

"I told you what would happen if you stayed with her." I ignored his comment and kept walking toward him

and when I was a foot away I punched in the face. "Wow, never thought you had the guts to do that."

"I quit i'm out, i'm done. You can find someone else to do your dirty work."

"Walk away jason and you will regret it."

"I'm regretting not walking away earlier, and if you or anyone else you hire hurt Rachel again. I will kill you." I said and walked away.

I got back to the apartment and I made some soup for Rachel.

"Again Rachel I am so so sorry." She didn't say anything. " I quit. I'm out and done for good."

"I wish you would've realized that earlier."

"Me too. Me too." She leaned into my chest and I just held her till she fell asleep again.
