They say that nowadays, love cease to exist. It's just a myth. To which it never existed. That it was just in fairytale. Or in movie's, book but not life.
But Ezra helped me prove them wrong. It not just a myth, it doesn't just happen in a fairytal...

"We need to leave Nevaeh." He repeated, Kiss the top of my head. Wait, where's Bailey?
"We can't leave yet; I need to find Bailey." I'm pulling away from him. He nodded, following me.
We searched the house but couldn't find her. Ezra and I looked outside, but it was dark and hard to see. "Bailey." Ezra called.
I hear a little whine. I saw Bailey laying on the floor. I gasped when I saw blood on her side. There was a knife wound. She kept whimpering.
"Ezra, we need to get her to the vet." I pleaded with him. Ezra quickly kneeled down, picked Bailey up, and walked to the car.
"Boss, I got here as fast as I could." Octavius said. "Take her to the vet." Octavius took Bailey out of Ezra's arms. "I can't leave her; are you Crazy?"
"Amore, how many times do I have to answer that question? Yes, I'm fucking crazy." He said he was grabbing my hand.
I stopped pulling my hand out of his. "No Ezra I need to make sure Bailey is okay." I say, turning around. Hearing his heavy foot steps behind me before gripping my shoulder and turning me to face him.
"Go damn it, Nevaeh! Just fucking listen to me." I finch a little. He never yelled at me like that. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you." His eyes immediately became soft, and his tone became gentle.
"We just need to go to the safe house. Octavius will meet us there." I didn't say anything; I just pushed past him and got in his car.

I sit on the couch as Bailey's head lies on my lap. She only had to get stitches, thank God. I can't lose her. I've been through so much with her.
The vet said she'd be a bit out of it due to all the medicine they had to give her.
"Are you okay, Nevaeh?" Elain asked while sitting next to me.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I tell her a I continue to pet Bailey. "You did well, Nevaeh." I sighed.
"How is she doing?" She nodded at Bailey. "She's going to be out of it. But she will be fine."
"So how are you and Octavius?" I smirk, wiggling my eyebrows at her. She frown. "I don't know." She breathed out.
"Octavius is so heartless. He has so much built-up anger and trauma. He can't seem to push past it. It's like he's stuck in the past." She said she was resting her head in her hands.
"He needs to find himself before he tries to love you." Her eyes filled with tears. "I know."
