Bray's Point Of View

We had been driving for what felt like 10 years, in actuality it had only been about 45 minutes, when we came upon the address, it didn't have an apartment number, but I didn't care, if I had to break down every door, I was going to find Ivy, and get her out of there, and get her back home, with me, where she belongs.

"What if she won't leave?" Erick questioned.

"What if Mike won't let her?" Braun added. "There are 5 people there, and only three of us." he went on.

"I don't care, I'm taking her, he's not going to hurt her any more." I growled. "I'll take them all on myself if I have to."

"You won't, we've got your back." Erick nodded.

"Yeah, we are some pretty big guys, we can handle them, let's go get Ivy." Braun nodded.

Yes, let's go get my little one!

I've got to get her out of that hell hole!

"Yes, let's go do this." I opened the car door, and jumped out, heading to the front door, I got to the door, it was one of those places, you have to be buzzed in, to get into the building, but the good thing about this, it had names, on the buzzers, I went down the list, some of them didn't have anything on them, but most of them had the first initials and the last name. I came across one that had M. Mizanin & I. Wesley, that was the only one that made any kind of sense, there was no other I's on the list, and this had an M, for Mike and a I for Ivy, so I was hoping it was the one. I tried the door, just in case, because it didn't look as if they had kept it up all too much, and I was right, all you had to do, was pull the door real hard, and it popped open.

Me and my boys, headed straight for Apartment 314, we climbed the 3 floors, because of course the elevator, was broken. I walked down the hall, it was the last apartment on the hall. I knocked on the door, and put my hand over the peep hole, although I wasn't sure it was the right door, if it was I didn't want Mike or whoever else there was to see us.

I waited a minute, there wasn't any answer, I knocked again, and waited, I was becoming very impatient, I wanted to get in there, and see if it was the right apartment, if Ivy was in there.

Finally I heard some noise in the apartment, and heard the door handle jiggle, then turn. The door opened, and I saw a taller man, about 6'3 open it, I didn't recognize him, it wasn't Mike that was for sure. "What can I do for you?" He questioned, keeping what was happening on the inside blocked, with his body, on purpose mind you.

"Looking for Mike, I got some, stuff I owe him, ya know." I said, letting him think I had drugs for Mike, if this was the right place.

"You here to get a piece of that sweet little Ivy too?" The man smirked.

It's the right place, she's in there!

Hold on, my sweet little Ivy, I'm coming!

"You know it." I nodded, playing cool, when all I wanted to do was, knock the man's teeth out.

"Cool, you are going to have to wait, she's got to take a break, she just had 3 guy's in a row, Mike wants her to rest before, she get's on number 4, then we all want another round, you know, after that I'm sure you all can have a piece too, and I'll tell you she's tight as hell, fit's like a fucking glove." The man chuckled.

Yeah, he's defiantly going to get his ass kicked tonight!

"That's fine." I nodded, and walked in behind him, giving Braun, and Erick a look to tell them, to be ready for anything. I followed the man, through the entryway and towards the couch, where I saw 3 men talking on the couch, and Mike on his phone, in the corner, I looked around, but I didn't see her, I didn't see Ivy, maybe she's in the room, I walked closer, Mike hadn't noticed me, maybe he wouldn't recognize me. I looked into the room, where the door was open, and I saw her sprawled out on the bed, just a bra on, she wasn't even covered up, he has no decency at all. "Yo, Mikey, he said he's got some stuff for you." The man nodded

"Is that right?, I don't remember meeting you?, do I know you?" Mike questioned, looking me up and down.

Perfect, he doesn't remember me!

"You told me, if I was ever in the neighborhood, I could stop over, and have a shot at your sweet little thing, you said she like's Oxy, and you, you like Money, lots of it." I pulled out a bundle of 50's, there was maybe, two grand in the bundle, and waved it at him.

"I don't remember you, but you obviously know me very well." Mike rubbed his hands together, in anticipation

"Well, you know I hate to jump in line, but I got to pick the old lady up, in awhile, so I don't have a whole lot of time." I spout off, trying to figure away to get into check on her, without causing a scene.

"You don't have a problem man?" Mike looked to a man on the couch.

"Nope, I got all night, to get a piece of that sweet ass." The man smirked.

No you don't!

You don't have any time with her!

"Great, you don't mind if I have some privacy?" I looked to Mike.

"Not at all, have fun, I'll let you have 30 minutes, don't be too rough with her though, she's had a rough day already." Mike laughed.

"Not a problem." I nodded, turning to Braun and Erick, giving them a look. "I'll be out in a few boys." I said to Braun and Erick, we'd already talked about what to do, when we got in, and they knew, to try to take care of as many of as possible, then give me the signal when they are ready for me.

I walked into the room, shutting the door behind me, the second the door was closed, I ran to the bed, sitting next to Ivy, checking her over. She looked horrible, she hand more bruises on her, it's obvious he gave her another beating, maybe more then one. I hated seeing her so open, having no privacy, offering her no decency at all. I spot a pair of white shorts, on the dresser, they looked to be her size.

I walked back over to her, and put her shorts on her, she must of been so out of it, she didn't realize I was putting clothes on her, and not taking them off, because she whimpered, and shook her head. "Please, no more, I'm sore." She cried.

Don't worry, you won't have to do any more, I promise!

I shook my head, and grabbed a shirt off the chair, on the other side of the room, and put it on her. "Shhh, it's okay." I whispered.

She must of recognized my voice, because her eyes fluttered open. "B-bray?" She whimpered, reaching her hand towards me, I could tell she was trying to adjust her eyes.

"Yes, little one, it's me." I smiled, running my hand through her hair.

"I'm sorry." She cried.

"Don't be, it's okay, it's going to be okay." I said softly.

"I don't want to be here, I don't want this any more." She shook her head, her lips quivering.

"Okay, you don't have to be here." I whispered to her.

"I don't want him to hurt me, I don't want any of them to keep hurting me, they hurt me so bad, they wouldn't stop." She cried, I could see the tears coming out of her eyes.

They won't hurt you, they won't hurt you ever again!

I promise you, little one, no one will every hurt you again!

"I begged them to stop." She whimpered. "Please, please, save me, I don't know what to do."

"It's okay, I'm going to take care of everything, I promise." I said softly, leaning down to kiss the top of her head.

"You don't hate me, for leaving?" She questioned.

"Never, I could never hate you." I smiled.

I heard a knock on the door, and Braun yelled in. "It's Time." Braun and Erick must of had everything all taken care of.

"Okay little one, I'm going to take care of everything out there, and then I'll be right back in." I said softly.

"You promise?" She questioned, looking worried.

"I promise." I smiled, giving her another quick kiss on the top of the head, before getting off the bed, and walking over to the door, then out.

I shut the door behind me, and looked to Braun who nodded, I looked around, and noticed 2 of the guys had gone, there was two on the couch, and Mike was in his chair. "The old lady bugging already?" Mike laughed.

"Yeah." I nodded, looking up to Erick who nodded, and started over towards the couch, as did Braun, they both walked over behind the couch, getting ready for what was about to happen.

"You let your old lady have to much say in your house hold if you ask me, my bitch knows who's the boss, she knows she steps out of line, I'll smack her right back in." Mike stated.

Oh, not any more you won't be!

"Well, I have respect for women, that's the difference between you and I Mike, I respect Ivy, I'd never hurt her, unlike you, I care for her, it upset me when I found out she came back to you, but I knew I'd find her again, and I'd rescue her from you." I snarled, as I started to slowly stalk towards him.

"Wait, I remember you, you are the son of a bitch, that had these two losers and another asshole, rough me up, and you tried to take my bitch." Mike spat, shooting up off his chair.

The two men on the couch, realizing what was going on, go to stand up, only to be grabbed from behind, around the throat, and held in place, the more they struggle to move, the more they are being chocked by Braun, and Erick.

"She's not a bitch, she's a woman, a beautiful woman, who deserves to be treated with respect." I said, still walking towards him, loving the look of fear in his eyes, when he saw his buddies, being choked out.

"Ivy's mine, she's not going anywhere." Mike tried to sound strong, and sure of himself, but he didn't sound like that at all, he sounded scared, and weak, very unsure of himself.

"She is, I've already told her that, I told her I was taking care of everything out here, and then I'm going to go in there, I'm going to pick her up, and I'm going to walk out of here with her, and you will NEVER, see her again." I spat, Mike shot for the door, but I was able to make it to him, before he could open the door, I threw him down on the ground. "Do you remember throwing her on the ground?" I yelled, and grabbed him up off the ground, using his hair, heavily coated in gel none the less, and slammed him into the wall. "And slamming her into the wall?, lucky for you this isn't brick, unlike the one you bashed her head into." I spat.

"Son of a." Mike started, but I punched him in the gut.

"What was that?" I laughed, and used both of my hands, to throw him to the ground harshly. "Speak up, I can't hear you." I spat, and kicked him in the ribs, once, twice, yep third times the charm, as I heard him cough and spit out blood.

I leaned down, and grabbed his throat. "So, let me ask you, what does she say when she's begging you to stop?" I snarled, and then delivered a punch. "Does it get to you at all?, a beautiful woman begging you to stop hurting her?" I threw another punch, then another, because an image of Ivy, popped into my head, and the look she had in her eyes when it popped into my mind, broke my head, I just had to take it out on someone, who better then the one who hurt my sweet little Ivy.

"Ahh." He yelled, when I slammed the back of his head into the ground, once I started I couldn't stop, I kept slamming his head, over and over, and over, and over again, until finally I was being pulled away by Braun.

"You are a piece of trash, a poor excuse for a human being." I broke free from Braun, and kicked him in the gut, and then the side, causing him to roll on his side, this gave me the opportunity to kick his back a few time, before being pulled away again, by Braun.

"That's enough, the man's bleeding." Braun pointed to Mike, who had blood, coming from his head.

"Unfortunately he's still breathing." I growled, watching him scoot, away towards his couch, where his buddies, were laying choked out.

"Get out." Mike spat.

"I'll be leaving, but first, I'm getting Ivy." I growled, walking back into the room.

"Bray." Ivy whimpered, as I picked her up.

"Yes, it's me." I smiled, down at her, when she looked up at me.

Once she saw it was me, she smiled slightly, and wrapped her arms around my neck, then laid her head on my chest, letting out a content sigh. "You came back." She whispered.

"I told you I would." I smiled, and kissed the top of her head, as I carried her out of the room.

"Put her down." Mike tried to move, but I could tell he was in too much pain, to do too much.

"She's coming with me, you won't be hurting her again." I said, not even looking back as Braun, and Erick walk towards the door, Braun opening it, so I could walk out. I turned around once outside. "Just so you know, I ever see any of you again, This will seem like a walk in the park compared to what I will do to you." I spat, before walking back out.

We started down the hall, and I looked over to Braun. "Where are the other 2?" I questioned.

Erick laughed, and opened a broom closet. "Right here." Erick pointed.

I looked inside and saw the two guys knocked out, and beat up. "Good." I laughed, and we headed out the door.

xXxXx

Once we made it back to the house, Erick open the door, and we all walked in, I growled when I saw Luke sitting on the couch. "What the hell are you doing here?" I yelled, my voice booming.

I heard Ivy gasp and grab my shirt as I startled her, out of her slumber.

"I'm sorry little one, you sleep." I said softly. I shook my head, wanting to get her into a room, so she could lay down, before I have it out with Luke.

I walked into my room, lying her on the bed, covering her with a blanket on the bottom of the bed. "I'll be right back." I said softly. "Your safe now, you are back at your real home." I whispered.

I then shut the door softly, and walked back out to the living room. "I told you to get out." I spat.

"I'm not leaving, this is my home." Luke shook his head.

"Not any longer." I growled. "After what you did to Ivy, you no longer have a home here."

"We are family, I'm your brother, you can't just turn your back on me." Luke spat.

"Not any longer, we are no longer family, I don't have family members, who could do such a thing, as you did to Ivy." I growled, walking towards him.

"Look, I know I messed up, I sent her back to her boyfriend, she's back now, it's not all that bad." Luke shook his head.

"Not all that bad?, he drugged her up, and let four men rape her, what the hell do you mean it's not that bad." I yelled, my voice boomed, so loud it even started Braun and Erick. "Ivy needed help, she needed someone to trust, she needed a family, we were going to be her family, I was taking care of her, and you let her leave, you took her back to her abuser, a man who pimped her out, against her own will." I spat, the second I got within arms reach of him, I grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him ever closer to me. "You are no longer apart of this family, I want you out, and I want you out now." I growled, and shoved him back with some force, causing him fly over the chair.

I started for the bedroom. "Can't you forgive me?" Luke questioned. "You talk about forgiveness all the time Bray." Luke sighed.

"I don't know, I honestly don't know if I'll be able to forgive you, because I don't know if I'll ever be able to trust you again, and I can't forgive someone I can't trust, I can't be family with someone, I can't trust." I sighed, and shook my head, it hurt me to say that, but right now, it was true I can't trust him, what he did, didn't just hurt Ivy, it hurt me too, it hurt our family, he did that , and he has to learn that, he needs to learn what family is all about.

Once I got into the room, I walked into my bathroom, and started a warm bath for Ivy, she was messy, she needed a nice warm bath to help with the pain, she must be feeling, then again, she's so drugged up, but a bath wouldn't hurt. I had grabbed a pair of pajama short and a tank top from her room, along with a pair of panties and a bra, so I could change her, when she was finished.

I got her clothes off, and carried her into the bathroom, after testing the water, I put her in. I gently washed her, being extra careful, around the area's she had bruises and marks. Doing my best not to look at her most private of areas, I don't want her any more violated then she already has been today. I must of startled her because she jumped, and looked at me. "It's just me, I'm getting you cleaned up, no need to worry, I'd never hurt you." I smiled, at her.

"I know Bray." She whispered softly, drifting back off into her slumber.

I washed her hair carefully, then made sure she was all done, and grabbed one of my large bath towels, and put it over my shoulder, and woke her up enough to stand. Then wrapped her in the towel, and picked her up to carry her, once she was in my arms, she wrapped her arms around my neck again, laying her head on my shoulder. "You're my hero, you know that." She whispered.

I smiled, and kissed her forehead. "I'm no hero." I smiled, getting to the main bed area, and helping her stand. "Can you stand long enough to get dressed."

"I think so." She nodded, still very out of it.

"Good, just hold on to my shoulders." I said softly, helping her dry off, she didn't have a very good grip on me, and I had to dry her and dress her one handed but, she's a small lady, so she isn't that hard to keep up. Once I got her dress, I helped her walk, not very easily, by the way, he had to of drugged her up good, because she could barley put one foot in front of the other. I pulled back my covers, and helped her in, sitting her on the edge of the bed, long enough to put her hair into a ponytail holder, then laid her down, covering her up.

"Bray." She called out.

"Right here." I said, walking over to the other side of the bed.

"You aren't leaving me, right?" Ivy's eyes fluttered open, and she looked right up at me.

"Of course not, I'm just going to let the guys know you are okay and then I'll be right back okay." I smiled.

"Okay, as long as you come back." Ivy nodded.

I walked out the front room, and saw Luke's things had been packed and he was leaving. "Goodbye Bray." Luke shook his head.

"Goodbye, maybe when learn the true meaning of family, and trust, then you can come back, until then." I shook my head, and turned to Erick and Braun, who I knew where hurting by the decision I made. "I'm going to go lay down, Ivy doesn't want to be alone."

"Okay, she's going to be okay right?" Erick nodded.

"Yes, she'll be fine, now that she's back where she belongs." I nodded, looking back at Luke once more, before walking back into the room.

"You're back." Ivy smiled, and moved the covers back so I could climb in.

"Told you I would be." I smiled, climbing in, once I pulled the covers over me, she rolled over, and snuggled up to me, wrapping her arms around me, laying her head on my chest.

"You make me feel safe." Ivy smiled.

"Well, you are safe, you always will be when I'm around." I smiled, running my hands up and down her back, lulling her to sleep. I looked down at Ivy, who had fallen asleep with a smile on her face, she was so beautiful, when I thought she was gone, that I'd lost her, I realized, just how much she truly did mean to me, we may of only known each other for a few day's but, I swear I feel like I've known her my whole life, the connection we have is deeper then I've ever known, and I know Luke thinks, I'm only attracted to her body, although she does have an amazing body, it's so much more then that, our connection is on a deeper level then just a physical attraction, we've got a spiritual and emotional connection too, something I'm not sure Luke understands.

Note From Author: Here is chapter 5, Bray made the save, Yay, I'm glad he got to Ivy, and he got a piece of Mike at the same time. Do you think this is the last we've seen of Mike?, I have to say, I think Bray is such a sweetheart, the way he takes care of Ivy, it is beyond adorable, he is so kind and compassionate, you can tell he really cares for her. Now to the Luke problem, you can tell it hurt Bray to have to put Luke out, but he's trying a little tough love, do you think it will work on Luke?, Do you think he will try to gain Bray's trust back, and will Bray even take him back? Thanks for reading, as always, Don't forget to review, I love hearing what you all think. Thanks to everyone who continue to read, review, favorite, and follow! You guys are awesome!

adricullenhale- Thank you, I'm glad you are liking the story, I'm defiantly going to keep writing, I'm really in love with this story, it's something just popped into my head one day, and it came out better then I ever thought, and you all seem to like it, so that's all that matters to me. Thanks again, I hope you continue to enjoying and reading and reviewing!

Debwood-1999- Of course Bray was going to rescue Ivy, sorry nothing was cut off, and no forcing pills down the throat lol, but Bray gave Mike a piece of his own medicine, he knows the feeling of being powerless to stop someone from attacking you, even if it was just a taste of what Ivy had to go through, he now knows some of what he put Ivy through. Bray is going to have to show a little tough love to Luke, he needs it, he is acting like a spoiled brat, who needs a spanking. Thanks again, for your continued reading and reviewing :)

ClassicPurpleRoses- Thank you, I'm glad you are continuing to enjoy the story and the direction I'm heading in. I was hoping people would take a liking to the story and it seems to of worked, I think Bray is doing what he thinks is best for Luke, he needs some tough love, he has to know he can't be the center of Bray's universe, I think he's used to having all the attention, and now he's acting out, because he isn't number one. Thanks again, for the review, I hope you continue to read and review :)
