A/N: I only own the OC
Thank you for reviewing!
Adult Content... violence and mentions of rape
I was making sure I had enough for the party tonight. I was excited to announce our engagement. Becky was still the only person who actually knew. I was working in my kitchen when I heard the door open. I thought maybe it was Dexter. He was at the winery.
"I'm in the kitchen." I said and I heard someone walk into the room. I turned expecting Dexter, but instead it was Cash. He had been taken off the schedule and Elias said he hadn't taken it well. He was the last person I wanted to see.
"Why are you here?" I asked him and he chuckled as he leaned against the doorframe.
"I figured we could talk about this like adults." He said and I looked at him with a confused expression.
"You attacked me... what is there to talk about?" I asked him and he shook his head. I realized this wasn't going to go good so I hit the call button on my phone since it was in my hand. I glanced down to see it calling Dexter's work phone. I was just hoping that he would be able to hear what was going on.
"Maybe the fact that I did everything for you and you basically just ignored me until I was the only option." He said and I pursed my lips. I saw that the call had been answered.
"CASH, I think our friendship has run its course and it's time for you to go." I said and stepped towards me. I put my phone on the counter and glanced around for anything to help me.
"CASH, YOU NEED TO LEAVE." I said with as much authority as I could in that moment, and he grabbed my arm before I could move. I was praying that Dexter had heard what was going on and was coming.
"Not until I make sure Dexter never wants you again." He said and pulled me to him. I tried to fight it, but as he grabbed my arm I moved and a loud pop sounded through the room. I screamed in pain as he chuckled.
Dexter POV
I was at the winery when Jodi called. I answered it and could hear her talking. I was about to hang up thinking she had butt dialed me when I heard her tell Cash he needed to leave. Fuck, he was there.
I grabbed my keys and ran out. I got in my car and prayed I could get to her before that fuck could hurt her. I pulled out my other phone and called Johnny. I was hoping he was at the club. I was at least 10 minutes away.
"Dexter?" Johnny said when he answered.
"GO TO JODI! It's an emergency." I screamed as I was going through the streets. Fucking tourist and their traffic.
I heard him running out the door and the gate open. He opened the door and call disconnected. I was almost to Jodi's. I pulled up, jumped out of the car, and ran to the porch. The front door was wide open and I was shocked at what I saw. Jodi was laying on the floor, bleeding from somewhere, and Johnny was beating the fuck out of Cash.
"Call the cops. He's not going anywhere." I said as I rushed over to Jodi.
"Princess?" I said and she flinched when I touched her.
"Princess, it's me." I whispered and she looked over her shoulder at me. I saw what he had done. Johnny was on the phone with the cops, and I saw Cash sit up. I couldn't take it. I walked over to him and hauled him to his feet.
"Now you don't even want her." He said with blood pouring out of his mouth. I rammed my knee so hard into his crotch that he passed out. I dropped him back to the floor as Johnny walked over to me. I wanted to make sure he could never use that on anyone ever again.
"They are on their way. Im sorry..." he was saying and I cut him off.
"Go wait outside." I said and he nodded. I heard Jodi whimper and I walked over to her.
"Help is on the way." I whispered as I pulled her into my lap. He had really hurt her.
Jodi POV
I was in so much pain as Dexter held me. He told me help was on the way. I was grateful when a Johnny came busting in the door, but the damage was already done.
The cops, paramedics, and rescue got to the house. They immediately took me to the hospital, and the last thing I remember is being put into the back of the ambulance.
Dave POV
I was sitting at home when my phone rang. I saw that it was Jodi.
"Good morning." I said.
"Dave, it's Dexter. Cash attacked Jodi." He said and I felt anger. I hadn't ever liked the guy, and she always told me he was just a friend. I never got that he wanted to be just a friend.
"Where is he?" I asked him.
"The police arrested him. He's going to the hospital to be checked out." He said.
"Thanks, keep me updated. I need to make some calls." I said and he hung up.
I made a few phone calls to some contacts. Cash wasn't going to leave St Augustine without knowing how I felt. Hell, he may not leave the city alive at this point.
