My fingers trembled.

He was here. Vince was here, in my bedroom. In my house.

I didn't realize I was crying until I felt droplets of tears rolling down my cheeks.

This was serious.

And it was in this moment in which I realized that. This wasn't some joke anymore- it wasn't some stupid threat from some guy. This was dangerous and it was serious. Oh it was serious.

Did I want to be a part of this?

No. I didn't.

Do I have a choice?

No. I don't.

I was stuck between the cross fire, I was known and I was being used as an object. A thing, not a person, but just something to be used as leverage. I was stuck with Blake Martinez whether I liked it or not. And I am crazy for not running as far away from him as possible. He was trouble. I could get killed for allowing myself to get this close to him and being known in his world. His world. Huh. If I didn't know any better I would of thought I was a part of it.

My eyes wavered around my room.
Just the thought of Vince's filthy fingers trailing along my bedsheets, made me cringe. I stood up, shivering once I realized that his feet had been padding against these very floorboards. The one thing I thought I had, my privacy, had been taken away from me. I have never experienced such a terrifying feeling. I felt violated in my own home.

With glassy eyes, I didn't hesitate to reach for my phone like my life depended on it. I stared at the screen longer then necessary before dialling Blake's number. With shaking fingers, I held the phone up to my ear, my trembled breathes the only thing to be heard in the thick silence that filled my bedroom.

On the third ring he picked up.

"Kitten?"

Just the sound of his voice calmed me down. Deep and smooth like he was totally calm. Like he wasn't effected whatsoever about me calling him at this time of night. My heart rate began to increase erratically inside of my chest once I remembered the reason why I called him.

Lifting my head, my eyes were drawn to the unlocked balcony doors. The doors Vince used to get in. I sucked in a breath at the feel of someone's eyes watching me.

"Vince was here" I managed to control my voice from wavering. However, fresh tears prickled in the corners of my eyes as my fingers struggled to hold my phone straight.

Mere seconds passed before his cold voice came through the phone sending a tingling shiver down my spine. A vivid image of his fingers fisting on the other end filled my mind.

"Don't move" my lips parted just before he hagged up the phone. My head was spinning as I put my phone down on my night stand.

Darting towards my balcony, I pulled at the doors, locking them shut. I pulled on them again, my fingers fumbling around with the lock, paranoid that they would unlock themselves as soon as I walked away.

My heart stopped beating in my chest as soon as a black hooded figure came into my vision. It all happened too fast.

The glass from the balcony doors shattering into a million pieces on top of me. I screamed, just before my body hit the ground.

My eyes grew wide as the figure came striding through the broken doors. The blackness of his hoody made it hard to see him in the dark night. My heart began to pound as I took in the size of him. Largely built, he towered over me. A small squeak came from my mouth as I cowered away from him. I swallowed back a sob. God I felt pathetic.

"Hello Heaven" my name rolled of his tongue like acid. I had yet to see his face, covered by the hood of his jumper. "You're even prettier up close" he chuckled, his tone rising in a sick icy way.

I bit my lip to prevent myself from crying out. His voice struck something in me. A fear so intense that I couldn't control my body from shaking violently. My bottom lip began to quiver as I couldn't control a sob which raked through my body. My stomach turned as my mom came to my mind. I prayed to myself that  she couldn't hear the noise from downstairs. The last thing I wanted was to involve her in this indescribable mess.

"Don't worry beautiful, I won't hurt you" I looked up into a pair of soulless dark eyes. "He wants you in one piece" a sinister smile spread across his face just before he advanced towards me.

"No!" I struggled to move away from him as I felt a sharp pain run through my ankle. Fuck! I must have sprained it when I fell.

It was only once I felt his cold hands grip my wrists was when I started to panic. I cried out as he pulled me up, shards of broken glass piercing my exposed skin. His face was terrifying. A deep scar ran down his left cheek, his eyebrows shaved off completely. Dark hair fell over his eyes like a curtain, the skin of his face covered in tattoos.

I continued to stare, completely horrified. It was only then when his eyes narrowed.

"Ahh looks like your knight in shining armor has come to your rescue" a bitter chuckle pasts his lips before he threw me onto the ground without batting an eyelid. I cried out in pain once my body hit the floor, cursing myself as the broken glass cut into my back.

I looked up with tear filled eyes to see Blake emerge from the darkness, his steel blue eyes boring into mine lividly. Gritting his teeth, he looked like he was on the verge of exploding.
I didn't have enough time to process that he was here, saving me until he shot forward. Hooded guy swung at him but Blake dodged his punch, tackling hooded guy to the ground. A low growl emitted from Blake's throat as he punched him in the face with all of his power. I gasped at the sound of a sickly crack. His chest was heaving, as hooded guy struggled beneath him. The vein in Blake's neck was bulging as his arms circled around hooded guys neck in a deathly grip. I turned my face as soon as I saw his face twist into one of pain.

The sound of choking and Blake's heavy pants was all I could hear before hooded guys body dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes.

A long silence passed between us as Blake hovered over his body. I looked away from him, my eyes zeroing onto the mess that was my bedroom. The balcony doors were completely destroyed. There was nothing left of the doors as the shattered glass spread onto the floor, bits of dust and dirt bunching up with it.

In one swift motion Blake was rushing towards me. Cupping my face in his hands, he lowered his face so that I was staring up into his eyes that held so much emotion. My lips parted as he began to caress my face softly with his thumbs, spreading warmth throughout my body.

"I'm so sorry" His voice broke, eyes glazing over with anger as he took me in properly. Half of my legs were covered in glass, and I could feel a slight cut on my chin. I probably looked like a mess. My whole body was throbbing but somehow being in Blake's arms made the pain go away.

"You saved me" my lip trembled as I stared up at him with glassy eyes. His breath hitched in his throat while his eyes softened. His jaw was locked as he studied my face. "I'm so fucking sorry...so fucking sorry"

It didn't take him long to pull me into him, removing the glass off my body in the process. His large arms circled around my body and that was all it took. Tears came flooding down my cheeks as I sobbed into him. He saved me again.

He put you in danger again.

But he saved you. He protected you.

I inhaled the smell of him through my nose, instantly feeling safe. Fisting his shirt in my hands, I buried my face into his chest.

"Shhh baby your safe now" he coed softly into my hair as I cried.

Pulling me carefully into his arms, he stood up and carried me to my bathroom. Settling me onto the sink, he cupped my face into his hands again.
"Fucking hell" he cursed.

I peered up at him, my vision blurry. More tears began to roll down my cheeks at the broken expression on his face. "It hurts me to see you like this"
My heart throbbed at his words. His eyes held so much guilt in them, so much sadness.

"I cant handle it when you cry" his nose brushed against mine as he closed his eyes. "Seeing you there, on the floor so fragile and small. I couldn't handle it"

"I wanted to kill him, I wanted to hurt myself for bringing you into my world, for not coming to you sooner. For letting you get hurt. I-I dont think I'll be able to handle it if I see you hurt again. If some fuckers hands caused you pain again. It scares me. You scare me." He whispered.

"The amount of control you have over my mind, my feelings for you scares me. Thinking about losing you scares me...kitten."

My heart fluttered at hearing his words. Could he maybe feel the same way for me that I feel for him?

"What are you saying Blake?" I tried to smile through my tears but it probably looked more like a grimace.

I watched his throat wobble as he swallowed thickly. "I-I think.." his voice was hoarse as his eyes bored into mine intensively.

"I love you Heaven" he pressed his forehead to mine. My heart stopped.

I melted against his touch, my whole body burning in flames. No words could describe how happy I felt at finally hearing those words roll of his tongue. My stomach leaped with happiness and adoration for him that I soon found myself saying the same words back.

"I love you too" I breathed against him, my hands reaching for his that were cupping my cheeks.

His fingers curled in my hair before he cupped the back of my head pulling me forward. Then our lips clashed together. But this time it was different. It was gentle.

He kissed me like my lips were the only thing keeping him from drowning. He kissed me like I was his and he was mine. He kissed me like I was made of glass and he was the only thing holding me together. But
what made this kiss so special was that our hearts were beating together as one. I loved him, and he loved me too.
