After Ethan calmed down and reassured me that everything would be fine we swam off the little island.

The cold pool made my face look less red and it didn't look like I was crying. We swam until we reached the mini beach.

"Where do you wanna go?" Ethan asked me.

"Rapids?" I asked, I was trying to stay strong.

"Sounds fun" He said giving me a slight smile.

We walked hand in hand towards the rapids. I was a lot calmer until we came face to face with Jacob.

Ethan's grip tightened on my hand as I hid behind him scared. He let go of my hand and I felt exposed.

Ethan moved closer to Jacob and Jacob stood there proud. He smirked before Ethan threw a punch and caught him on the side of the head.

Jacob stepped back with the smirk wiped of his face. He rubbed his jaw before charging at Ethan.

I yelled for Ethan to stop because I didn't want him to get hurt. He ignored me.

He hit him again. Jacob grabbed ahold of his head and kneed him in the stomach. Ethan groaned and grabbed ahold of his chest. Ethan threw another punch at Jacob and again and again.

A few of the boys came running and pulled them away from each other.

"Don't you ever touch her again!" Ethan screamed in his face wanting to get at him.

Riley come and wrapped their arms around me making sure I was okay. Tears were pouring down my face

"I can't touch her all I want, She's my wife" Jacob smirked.

"I'm not your god damn wife! I will never be. Just leave me alone!"I screamed through the tears.

Riley moved me away slowly rubbing my back and hushing me "It's okay" She said calmly.

Ethan run towards me as Jacob shook the boys of him and walked away.

"I'm so sorry Emily" He kissed my head.

Riley made sure I was okay before returning to the other boys. Me and Ethan sat hugging on the sand.

Ethan calmly rocked me back and forth "I hate the thought of him hurting and touching you" Ethan had small tears starting to fall from his eyes.

"It makes me sick. He makes me sick. I hate it Emily, I want you to be mine, I want to care for you and make sure no-one ever hurts you" Tears were falling hard from both of our cheeks.

Nobody was around because this place was really that big and we were in a quiet area.

"Emily, I'm so sorry" He sighed "I should of been there"

"It's fine Ethan" I kissed his cheek "I will be okay" I lied.

"Em I know you wont though. I know your not fine. It's not fair" He rubbed his eyes.

"I'm really worried about you. I never want to see you upset again because" He took a deep breath in. "I love you".

That made my heart flutter. He had never said that he loved me. I could tell that he did now. I hugged him tightly.

I closed my eyes as I rested my head against his bare chest "I love you too" It felt good to say it and actually mean it. I really did love Ethan. He was amazing.

"You do?" He smiled through the tears.

"I really really really do" I answered back before smashing my lips onto his.

I kissed him feeling safe before getting up and hugging. We walked over to the bar and we sat down. Ethan bought me an ice-cream to make me feel better and it did. I hadn't eaten a sweet treat in awhile.

"Your cute" He smiled wiping a strand of my hair out of my face.

I smiled back.

"When your done we will go home" He smiled and I nodded my head.

Grayson came along and hugged me. I didn't realise it but Ethan's cheek was cut and his face was bruise. Somehow he was still smiling through all the pain.

We walked to the changing rooms and me and Ethan went in a family one because he said he didn't want to leave me and I didn't want him to either.

We got changed and then climbed into the car. I text all the girls that I had gone home and that I was sorry that I didn't say goodbye.

We arrived home and I was tired. Really tired. I walked up the stairs and pulled off my romper. I walked into Ethan's endless closet and grabbed a long top. I slid it over my head and pulled it down.

I walked out of the closet and in to the bathroom. I grabbed my toothbrush and tiredly brushed my teeth. I washed my face and looked at my swelled red eyes. My cheek had a mark on it.

What had my life turned into?

I walke to the huge bath and turned on the tap. The warm water poured into the bath. I grabbed a lush bath bomb form the cupboard and plopped it into the bath.

I run down the stairs and I saw Ethan and Grayson talking. It looked serious. I smiled but didn't say anything.

I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and the latest copy of vogue from the side. I only started reading it recently because Ethan started to buy it and It's really good.

I walked back up the huge stairs and turned the tap off. I slid the top over my head and stepped into the warm bath. It was heaven after a stressful day.

I submerged my body into the water and relaxed. I grabbed the magazine and my apple and sat and read. It felt good to relax but I wasn't fully relaxed.

I knew that Jacob had somehow got the ring from inside this house. He had been in here. Goosebumps formed on my arms and I shook the thought away. I started to read my magazine again.

I heard a smash come from our room and freaked out. I grabbed my robe from the side and put it on. I rolled my magazine into a bat and sat nervously facing the bathroom door. I could hear someone coming.
