Ivy's Point Of View
I woke up, and looked at the clock it'd been about an hour, for some reason, I felt pretty good, but Bray told me I'd have spurts of energy, where I'd feel just perfect, but it wouldn't last, until I was all better. I climbed out of bed, hoping Bray was back. I walked out to the kitchen, I looked around and didn't see anyone, I remembered Erick trying to wake me up to eat, but I waved him off. I heard talking, more like arguing, in the front room, I walked towards the voices, but didn't let myself, be known.
I listen as Erick and Luke were going back and forth, they were arguing about Bray, and I, about how I was ruining Bray, making him weak. Luke was saying that I was not a good influence on him, that I was making him go down, I was making him weak, and pathetic. Luke was saying how I was the worst thing that ever happened to Bray, I'm going to do nothing but make him even weaker, and more pathetic then I've already made him. Luke wishes, They'd of never met me, he wishes, Bray would of never of helped me that night in the alley. He said Bray isn't the same, he's not the strong, leader he used to be. I'm bad for him, I'm like a poison that's killing him.
I need to leave, I don't want to bring Bray down!
I shook my head, walked back to my room. I grabbed my shoes, and slipped them on, if he was better off without me, then maybe I should leave, I can't let Bray become what Luke says he is, Bray's a great guy, and I don't want to bring him down.
I walked back out into the hallway, and see Luke walking towards me. "Umm, Luke, can you take me into town, I umm, I think it's best if I leave, I'm not ready to do this, it's best if I just leave, before I make things worse for everyone." I said, biting me lip.
"You want to leave?" Luke said, he couldn't help but smile at the news.
"No, you can't leave yet, you still need help." Erick came up behind him. "You wanted to change, you wanted a better life, what's changed now?" Erick shook his head.
"I'm not a good person, and Bray shouldn't waste his time on me, it's best if I just leave, I don't want to waste any more of Bray's time." I sighed. "Luke will you take me?"
"Sure, whatever you want miss." Luke smirked. "I'll get my keys and we will be on our way." and walked off to grab his keys.
"Maybe you should wait, and talk to Bray." Erick shook his head. "Please don't leave, look I'll call him, I'll let you talk to him."
"No, please don't tell him, I don't want him to worry." I shook my head.
"Let's go, are you ready?, if you want to leave before Bray gets back." Luke stated.
"Yes, let's go." I nodded, and walked out following Luke.

Bray's Point Of View
I walked in to the house, and made my way into the living room. I saw Erick pacing the floor. "What is going on?" I raised a brow, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Ivy left." Erick blurted out.
Oh, god, oh no, this can't be happening
"What?, what are you talking about?" I yelled.
"She asked Luke to take her away from here, and he jumped on the opportunity." Erick sighed.
I'm going to kill Luke!
"Of course he did." I shook my head, of course he couldn't wait to get rid of her. I took my phone out, and dialed Luke's number, to tell him to bring her back. Luke sent my call straight to voicemail.

Ivy's Point Of View
I sat outside of my apartment, I shook my head. "You know I never meant to be such a burden on Bray, tell him I'm sorry." I said, looking over at Luke. "I over heard you, and you're right, I'm not a good person, I shouldn't be around Bray, so I'm going to go back to my old life, don't tell Bray where, I'm at, just tell him, I'll let him know I'm okay, by texting my phone, I know he still has it, I'm sorry I caused you all so much trouble, you don't have to worry about this poison any more." I said, taking a deep breath, and getting out of the car, waving to Luke, before walking into the apartment building.
I walked to my apartment door, I tried it and it was locked. I took a deep breath and knocked. I heard Mike yelling to hold on. I saw the door swing open, and Mike look me up and down, a giant smirk on his face. "I knew, you'd be back babe." Mike wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into the apartment, shutting the door. "I knew you couldn't stay away, you need me too much, don't you baby?" Mike pulled me into a rough kiss, biting my lip, as he pulls away.
"Yes, I need you." I nodded, hugging him.
Mike pulled away, and suddenly his face changed, he was no longer smiling. "Damn right you do." Mike grabbed a handful of my hair. "Now, who the hell have you been with?" Mike growled, pulling me to him. "Who was that on the other end of the line?, who hung up on me?" Mike spat.
"B-Bray, he, he's been helping me, he wanted to save me?" I bit my lip.
"He was that ass hole that had me roughed up, isn't he?" Mike shook his head.
"I'm sorry baby." I whimpered. "You said if I came back, you wouldn't hurt me." I cried, as he shoved me into the wall.
"I know I said that, but you deserve to pay for what you did, you had me worried, I thought something horrible happened to you, you think I should just let you get away with that?, what kind of a man would I be if I did that?" Mike spat, I could feel the sting, of Mike's hand as it crashed into the side of my face.
I brought my hand, to my stinging cheek. "I-I'm sorry baby." I whimpered, still rubbing my cheek. "You said, things would be different, you said you wouldn't do this any more." I shook my head, he shook his head and laughed, punching me in the face, a real closed fist punch. I stumbled back, falling to the ground, when I felt his boot in my stomach, then I felt them on my sides, and my back all over. Mike grabbed me up by my hair, I hold my hand up, hoping to protect my face, but he didn't hit me, he straighten out my shirt, and fixed my hair, before pulling me close enough to him, so he could kiss me.
"Look, you know I love you, I don't like hurting you, it hurts me, when I hurt you, so if you just do as I say, then I won't have to hurt you, it's that simple baby." He reached out, and caressed my face. "I know you are hurting now, I know it's been a few day's since you've had anything, hasn't it babe?, I told you I had something special for you." Mike leaned in and kissed me, before turning around and grabbing a little baggy full of little round yellow pills, I knew it was the 40 mg, Oxycotin. "Look what I have for you baby, I'm about to make you feel so much better baby." Mike put 2 of the pills in my hand. "Take them baby." Mike said.
I looked between him and the pills, I didn't want to, but then again I did, I wanted to do this so bad. "Can I text my phone?, so Bray knows I'm okay?"
"Take them, and then you can." Mike sighed, then smiled when I popped them in my mouth and swallowed them. "You'll feel so much better, in no time baby."

Bray's Point Of View
My head shot to the door, when it opened, I saw Luke walk in, and I started straight for him. "Where'd you take her?" I growled, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.
"Look, I know you are probably angry." Luke sighed, shaking his head.
"There is no probably about it, I'm fucking livid." I growled, shoving him to the wall. "Where is she?" I spat.
"She doesn't want you to know, where she is." Luke shook his head. "Look, I know you don't think it's for the best, but it is, even Ivy thinks it's for the best, she doesn't want to bring you down."
Bring me down?, where the hell is she getting that from?
"What did you tell her?" I snapped, throwing him from the wall, across the living room.
"I didn't tell her anything." Luke sighed, getting up of the ground, dusting himself off. "But, I think she over heard me, and Erick arguing."
"What do you mean?" I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Erick and I were, arguing about you and Ivy, and I said that you were being brought down, by Ivy, that she was like a poison, and was killing you." Luke admitted. "She didn't come out and say it, but I know she over heard me." Luke went on. "She said she'll text you, on her phone, so you know she's okay."
I shook my head, and shoved him out of the way, as I made my way to my room, so I could find the phone, maybe I can get her to come back, talk her out of it. But where had she gone?, of course I don't even have to ask, she went back to Mike, so he could hurt her more, why is she letting this happen? Damn it, and damn Luke, this is his fault. I grabbed the phone, and turned it on. I allowed it to lead, and I didn't see any messages from her, damn it.
I headed back out to the living room. "Out." I spat, pointing to the door.
"What?" Luke looked shocked.
"Get out, this is your fault, you took her back to him, I know you took her back to Mike, you saw what he did to her, in that alley and you took her back to him." I growled. "He's going to end up killing her, and it will be all on you."
"Look I'm sorry Bray, are you really that upset?" Luke shook his head.
"Yes, yes I am, he's going to hurt her, and you caused it, if you wouldn't of opened your damn mouth, she'd be here, and safe. Now she's with him, he's probably already got her drugged up, she was getting better, she was going to become truly happy and you ruined that." I yelled, I shook my head, and walked off, I knew I'd of flipped out on him, if I'd stayed any longer.

Ivy's Point Of View
I laid on the couch, everything kind of moved in slow motion, I hadn't had such a dose in so long, I was flying high, that's for sure, it made everything disappear, all the pain, all the anger, all the bad, it was all gone. I felt the couch move, and looked over I saw Mike sit next to me. "Baby, what are you doing?" I questioned, as he took my hand.
"Take this babe, it will make you feel even better." Mike said, placing another pill in my hand.
"I don't need any more baby." I shook my head, if I took another one right now, I wouldn't be able to move from this spot for hours.
"Take it." He pushed my hand to my face. "Now."
Why is he trying to make me take more?, he knows I've already had 80 milligrams, if I have any more, It will be to much for me!
"Come on babe, it will help you for later." Mike sighed.
"What's later?" I shook my head.
"I've let a few of my friends know, I've got my girl back, and they want to come celebrate with us." Mike said, running his hand up and down my back.
Celebrate?, what does he mean?
"What do you mean baby?" I shook my head.
"You'll enjoy it, they are going to bring some goods for you and for me baby, you'll love it, just take another one, it will help you relax, it will make it easier, for when they get here." Mike shoved the pill in my mouth, covering my nose and mouth, forcing me to swallow. "Good, that's my girl." Mike kissed my cheek.
No, he said I wouldn't have to do it, he's going to let his friends use me, he said it'd be different!
"Baby, you said I wouldn't have to do that again, I don't want to do it." I shook my head.
"I already set it up baby, I promise, you'll be rewarded for it, it might not be so bad either, you love sex baby, you'll enjoy it." Mike shrugged.
"Not with them, I don't want to have sex with them Mike." I whined. "Please, don't do it."
"It's already happening, they'll be here, any minute." Mike stood up, grabbing my shirt, pulling it over my head, leaving me in my shorts and bra, then he went for my shorts, and took them off, now leaving me in my bra and panties. "It will be easier access for later babe." Mike smirked, throwing the clothes in the corner.
"How many?" I whimpered.
"Only 4, don't worry baby, I told them they had to go one at a time, and nothing too rough, see I'm looking out for you baby." Mike leaned down and kissed me.
What was I thinking?
I knew he wasn't going to change!
I wish I never would of left Bray!
"That must be them, are you ready for a good time babe?" Mike smirked, standing up, and walking towards the door, I tried to sit up, but I fell right back down, my head was spinning, I knew I wasn't going to be able to escape, maybe I deserved this, this is what I get for leaving Bray, but maybe it's what's for the best, Bray is better off with out me right? I looked up to see 4 tall men in front of me, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and managed to turn my head.
"Please, no." I managed to whimper, I was so dizzy, but I could make out, Mike standing behind me, smirking.
"Who want's her first?" Mike smirked.

Bray's Point Of View
I was pacing the floor, waiting for a call, or a text, something to tell me she was okay, I couldn't help but imagine what he was doing to her, how he was hurting her. I shouldn't of left her here with Luke, I knew he disliked her. I've got to get her back, I've got to find a way, to make her realize, she's not a burden on me, she makes me happy, I want to help her, I want to make her feel better about herself, she doesn't deserve to be hurt, to be treated like that. Ivy deserves to be treated with love and respect.
Come on, text me Ivy!
I shook my head, I heard her phone ding, and realize I had a message, it came up under the name Mike, it was her. I opened it, and the message read. She's Back Where She Belongs, Doing What She does Best, Whatever The Hell I Tell Her. I growled at myself, shaking my head. Then I realized there was a video attached. I clicked it, and my blood started to boil.
The video was being taken by Mike I assume, he was cheering on a man, who was taking advantage of Ivy, she was in just a bra, and she looked like she was barely with it, he scanned around, and showed there were three more men, waiting in line, cheering on the man who was on top of Ivy. Then he zoomed in on Ivy's face, she was crying, and saying "No, no, no" over and over again. She must of noticed and looked up at the camera. "Please stop." She cried.
I'm going to kill them all!
Then he zoomed out, and turned it back to himself. "She's my bitch, that's not changing." Then the video cut off.
That sick son of a bitch!
"LUKE." I yelled, I had to get to her, I had to get her out of there, I don't care if I have to drag her out of there, kicking and screaming, I'm not letting her do this to herself. I'm not going to let her be used by anyone else, this was going to come to an end, and it was going to come to an end, tonight.
"What's the matter Bray?" Luke raised a brow, leaning against the door.
"What's the fucking address?" I growled, Luke sighed and shook his head. "You tell me now, or I swear, I'll strangle you with my bare hands."
"Okay, fine, whatever." Luke shook his head, and took out a piece of paper, handing it to me, it had an address written down on it. "I hope you know what you're doing."
"Oh, I know, what I'm doing." I shook my head, grabbing my keys, and wallet. "When I get back, I suggest you not be here, and I wouldn't show your face around here for a while, because right now, I can't stand the sight of you." I growled, and walked out of the room, heading to go find Ivy, I needed to get her out of that hell hole she's in right now, and get those filthily animals paws off her, I can't believe he's letting them use her like that, I grabbed Braun, and Erick on my way out, I needed back up, there was four others in the video I saw, so I might have to deal with 5 of them, so I needed back up. I'm going to take care of Mike myself, he's going to pay for what he's letting happen to Ivy, to my poor sweet Ivy.
Note From The Author: Cliffhanger of sorts, I know. Luke got to Ivy, do you think Bray will be able to get Ivy away from Mike?, Do you think Luke will ever get on Bray's good side again after this?. Ivy has had a slip again, hopefully Bray can make her see the light again. Please leave a review, I love feedback, I'm open to any kind of course, feedback makes me a better writer I believe, so keep it coming! So far I think I'm doing something right! Thanks to those who continue to review, favorite, and follow this story! You guys are really amazing! Much Love :D !
ClassicPurpleRoses- Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, I like answering the reviews, it helps me connect more with my readers, I think it makes for a better writer! and yes I am feeling a little better, thanks for that :) hope you continue to enjoy the story, and of course review!
Debwood-1999- Thanks for the review :), I think Luke needs to do the same thing, he has a bit of jealousy, I have a feeling since he is the prodigal son of sorts, he's not used to not being center of attention. Ivy's in a really bad place, she's not used to being treated with respect, so she doesn't know how to react, and unfortunately she doesn't believe she deserves to be treated the way Bray treats her. That's something Bray is going to have to work on with her, but Bray seems to be up to the challenge. Thanks again, for the continued support for the story!
cheryl24- Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying it, thank you for reading, and reviewing, I hope you continue to read, enjoy and review :)
