Late Night Attack
I don’t know if Jasper is coming home tonight, but I’m glad to have peace, somewhere to hide from Joel. I sleep well, waking and hearing the door close downstairs, smiling I sit up, and hear him moving. I look next to the bed and pick up the note.
Called in to check, you were out cold. I’m staying at your dad’s to make it less obvious. X
I smile at his note, then pause realising that Jasper isn’t coming home tonight. I hear the movement downstairs and begin to panic. Grabbing the gown I wrap it around myself. There is a chance he has come back. early, but I don’t feel confident, I hear the bedroom door open and look towards it freezing.
“Sugar, you just proved me right.” He moves taking a picture of me. Shit. “Now, you can either come with me now, or I send this picture to your daddy as I am sure he’s aware that this is Jasper’s room.”
“No!” I won’t leave with him.
“Is that your final answer? I mean, if you agree I won’t touch you sugar. If you refuse, I have more fun tonight than I planned.” He leans over the bed moving towards me and I move back. “You really should delete those messages sugar, I mean imagine if they got into the wrong hands.” I stand staring at him. “Oh, wait.” He laughs. “They did, which is how I got the code to enter.” He moves for me, I kick him and move past him.
“You know I love it more when you fight sugar.” He licks his lips.

“Fight? Oh, you have this wrong.” Moving I throw something at him before running downstairs, getting to the kitchen I grab a knife, feeling him grip my hair and drag me back. Screaming I fight against him as he grips my hand with the knife and I feel my fingers breaking. The knife falls to the floor.
His arms wrap around my waist holding me to him.
“Fuck you!” I swing my head back hitting his nose. His hands push met and I hit my head on the cupboard. Grabbing another knife I turn and swing for him.
“Stop!” He screams at me, and I swing the knife trying to hit him.
“Fuck you, either I die or you do.” I lunge for him again, and he moves. his hand gripping my hair. I thrash against him trying to get out of his hold as he grips the gown and it rips.
“Stop fucking fighting!” I move swinging my elbow back and hitting him in the stomach. His hand grabs the knife from my hand. I move quickly to grab something else, his hands throwing me against the wall. My nails claw at his neck, and he grabs my hands in one of his holding me against the wall.
“I can’t fucking go back marked you stupid bitch!” he screams in my face and I swing my head forward but he moves so I miss. I watch as he moves, his fist swinging and hitting my face. The darkness overtakes me as I collapse, panic building in me, knowing when I wake he will have taken me.
Waking I keep my eyes closed, scared of what I will see when I do open them. I’m lying on the floor, I know that much. My hand fucking hurts, I peek through my eyes and look around confused. Why am I still here? I look around myself panicking, why didn’t he take me?
Tears roll down my cheeks as I realise I failed, I tried to kill him and failed. I sit up, my eyes looking around, I know my phone is upstairs. I‘ m too scared to move, I grab the laptop off the table and hit the messenger button sending a message to Jasper.
I sit, feeling confused. The door is broken? I thought Joel came through the garage. I need ice for my face, I feel like my eye has swelled. I hear footsteps and freeze.
“Baby girl?” I hear Jasper and watch as he walks through, standing he looks at me shocked before rushing to me. “What the fuck happened?” He shouts and I flinch, “Sorry.” He moves and lifts me from the floor. His eyes taking in the mess.
“I…” I don’t know what to say. Why the hell did Joel leave me? I feel myself panic again, he’s telling my dad. I look at Jasper, he needs to hide.
“Baby girl, breathe.” He grips my face so I look at him. “What happened?”
“I don’t know, I heard someone and thought it was you. I came down and noticed it wasn’t, I grabbed a knife and tried fighting him, then I just remember him punching me and I passed out.” I can’t tell him it was Joel.
“Did they say anything, baby girl?” I shake my head at him. He grabs. his laptop and looks through it.
“What are you doing daddy?”
“Checking CCTV, I don’t know if I had it turned on or not baby girl.” I freeze, watching as he looks frustrated. “No, if it had been I could have found the cunt!” he shouts and looks at me.

“Sorry daddy.” I should have run quicker and got the knife quicker.
“Baby girl, don’t you dare apologise, we will get you back to your dads and speak to him.” Wait, no
“No! you can’t tell him.” What the hell? “He will know then, we can’t
tell him.”
“Baby girl, what the fuck am I supposed to do? Someone broke in and hurt you, we need to find out who.”
“If you tell him I was here, I’m leaving!” I won’t let him.
“Then what, as he is going to ask why you have a black eye and broken. fingers!” He shouts at me, frustrated.
“I will lie.” I will.
“Lie? And say what baby girl? You fell?” He looks at me annoyed.
“No! I will say I was out, that I was going somewhere and it happened in the street. Please, if you tell him this ends because he will kill you!” I don’t want that. He moves and kneels before me.
“Okay, let me clean up here. I will tell him my alarm went off which is why I ran out of the house like a lunatic and when I got here you were here. You were, driving back to your dads from your friends, you stopped and someone attacked you, okay?” He looks at me and I nod.
I watch as he cleans around and fixes the door before helping me out and onto the bike. It’s nearly six a.m. now. I tap him noticing he isn’t going to my dads. Turning he calls out to me. “He’s at the club, he will be pissed if I take you home and not there when I know where he is.” Great, the club, just what I fucking need.
Late Night Attack
We stop outside the club and he helps me off the bike, Diesel looks at us and his eyes widen I watch as he rushes through.
“Remember the story baby girl. If you forget, I tell him the truth.” I nod and watch as my dad rushes out.
“Princess!” He rushes to me and glares at Jasper. “What did you do!”
“Daddy he did nothing.”
“I rushed out because my alarm went off, she was there banging on the doors when I got there.” Jasper explains.
“Where the hell have you been?” My dad looks at me. “You fucking went to James didn’t you?”
“No! I was seeing Faith, and I woke early and figured I would come home so I could spend the day with you. I stopped the bike thinking I left my phone at hers and someone attacked me.” His face softens.
“Where were you, where did you stop?” Shit, I didn’t think of that.
“Bridgwell Road? Wasn’t that what you told me?” Jasper looks at me.
“Yeah, I think so. I can’t remember.” I didn’t think of that part.
“Get in, Diesel will look at your hand and sort your face. We’re going to see if we can find out who it was.” My dad pushes me to Diesel and I hear my dad call a few more guys over, Jasper watching as I walk
away.
“Anything else hurt Harley?” Diesel looks at me and I shake my head. “Right, well we will get ice for your face, sit.” He pushes me into a seat and grabs me some ice, and I hold it against my face.
“Thank you.” I smile at him.
“Perks of being a doctor in a biker club Harl. How did you break your fingers?” He stares at me amazed.
“I had hold of my phone. refusing to let go of it.” I shrug and he laughs.
“Next time drop it. phones can be replaced easier than fingers.” He sits. and binds my fingers. I need to tell Jasper to get rid of my phone. It’s still at his place. I stay with Diesel, the club is quiet which is unusual, I watch as Diesel is constantly making calls trying to gain access to CCTV of the area.
He sits down next to me. “Your dad should be back any minute now.” I nod and sit quietly. five minutes later he walks through with loads of the guys and the club becomes busy, everyone turning and looking at
me.
“Princess.” I look up at my dad and smile. “The street had no CCTV on it, it’s a dead street. Can you remember how you got on it?” I shrug. “If you can then we can see if a car or something was following.”
“No, I can’t remember, I don’t even know how I got there Daddy. Just forget about it.” He looks at me angrily.
“Like hell! We will find out who it was baby girl, believe me. Right now you’re coming home and staying there.” I freeze, I can’t go there.
“No, I’m staying at the hotel.” I’m not going back there.
“Princess, it’s not fucking safe. While out we got told by the police a woman was raped close to the hotel. So you’re not fucking staying there.” I sit quietly. “It’s strange, the area barely has trouble, we ensure it doesn’t, then last night you get attacked and robbed and a woman

raped? Something is wrong.” My dad speaks, and I know the answer.
Joel ran from me and was clearly pissed off. He did it, maybe that is my way? If I can get Joel to slip up about it, I can tell the police, and then” he is gone.
“Princess!” I jump and look at my dad. “Will you listen please?”
“Look, why doesn’t she stay at mine? You know I have CCTV and everything. I can add more security Rooster. You can’t drag her to yours.”
“You’re never home, and when you are you have a friend over.” My dad looks at him.
“That ended.” Jasper shrugs.
“Still you’re never home, just come home princess.”
“No.” I won’t stay where Joel is.
“Fine, if she stays at yours are you okay staying there a few nights? I don’t want her there alone constantly.” My dad looks at Jasper but is annoyed.
“Guess so, if I won’t be there I can drop her off at the club or your place.” Jasper explains.
“Right, that’s sorted. Princess, you stay in Jaspers, if he leaves you stay indoors if less you’re coming here or to see us, do you understand? Until we find out who this person is, you’re not walking the damn streets.” He looks at me annoyed and I nod.
I won’t argue, but I can see Jasper is worried, yeah okay I got attacked at his place, but it wasn’t random.
“Right Diesel, take her to Jaspers. We have things to sort princess, and if I remember, you had a meeting?” My dad turns and looks at Jasper, his eyes glancing at his phone.
“Shit.” He jumps up and rushes out. I leave with Diesel and he takes
me to Jaspers, handing me a set of keys. He watches me go in before leaving.
