"White roses or red roses?" Lia asked Holly and I for the third time, we sighed. "White ones." We repeated, she smiled and nodded and wrote it on her notebook. "Are we done now?...I wanna see Alric." Holly whined talking about her boyfriend, I laughed. "Well im pretty free today. I don't have anyone." I joked, they laughed but Holly and Lia gave me a look. "What?" I asked confused, they smirked.  "Stop acting like you aint crushing on Isaac." They say with a face, I chuckled and shook my head.  "Im not." They looked at each other then me.  "Both of yall need to stop with the act." I rolled my eyes. "We barely talk to each other." "But the look yall give to each other." They awed, I laughed.  "Yeah. Yeah. But im not ready to date yet love again...im not going through it again." I say whispering the last part, they looked at me with a questionable look. "What you mean?" I couldn't help but cry as the memories came back. "Every boyfriend I had or fell in love with...abused me and broke me more and more each day. Drew was my last boyfriend and he almost killed me...if it wasn't for Isaac I would be dead." I sobbed as I explained part of my past, they hugged me tightly. "What happened to Drew?" Lia asked, Holly gave her a look. "Oh..." was all she could say, I nodded and wiped my tears.

"Even though all that happened. I learned from it...not to trust any guy that I have interest in." They nodded but gave me a look. "What?" They smirked. "The men that lives in this house are not boys...they are men. They don't really do childlish shit. Theyre strong and care for whats theirs."  Lia stated, Holly nodded agreeing.  "Oh...hm." I said, Holly laid her hand on my shoulder.  "Im not saying Isaac will open up to  you right away...he um have a hard time...having a heart." She joked but I knew she was serious. I nodded. I dont know if I should try to talk to him.

I was hit in the head. I turned around only to be choked by Drew. I hit his hands as hard as I can but i was loosing air quick. I tried to scream but that made it worse. He hold me by my neck and started punching me in my stomach. I lost my balance and fell. "Drrrre..w...pl...please..sto-" he covered my mouth and nose. My eyes widen and i started kicking to break free but i got weaker and weaker. As my eyes was about to close, Drew was picked up and thrown across the ground. I looked at him to see he was getting beaten bloodly by a tall guy. I blinked and looked to see Drew pulled out a gun. In a flash, the guy got it and shot Drew in the heart. Drew gasped for air before his eyes went dull. I was too weak to move but tears flowed down my face as the man walked up to me. As he got closer, I saw his beautiful icy light blue eyes. "Your safe now, my angel." He repeated before grabbing my face and we leaned in an-

I woke up to the sound of a beautiful violin playing and a name popped in my head. Isaac. I dont know but I wanted to see him. It was an urge. I got up and quietly walked out of my room. As the sound got more intense, I got closer to the door. I know this room is forbidden to go in but...i just have too.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and slowly yet quietly opened the door to see Isaac was playing the violin facing the window. I slowly walked up behind him. I heard his sniffs...he was crying. Hard. I couldn't help but hugged him. I wrapped my arms around his torso and hugged him tightly, surprisingly he didnt pull away. He turned facing me. The site of seeing him like this made my heart drop. His eyes were puffy and red. Dried up tear trails was on his face and his hair was messy plus he had  empty bottles of wine on the counter.  Why is he so sad?...

"Isaac?" I say quietly, he didnt make contact with me. I cupped his face and made him look at me. "Isaac...what's wrong?" I asked worried, he took my hands off his face. "Leave. Get out!" I jumped but stood my ground. Sometimes its best to not be alone in this state...he needs someone. I can see it in his eyes.  So I will be that someone.

"Im not leaving you." I say while looking at him, he rolled his eyes. "Just get the fuck out...please." He said as he sniffed, I got closer to him. "I am here for you, Isaac." He sighed. "Fine ill leave." and with that he tried to leave. I closed the door and got in front of it. "Mov-" I cut him off. "Stop. Just...let me in." He looked away, I cupped his face and bought our foreheads together. "Let me in...let me be here for you." He nodded slowly as tears escaped his eyes.

I grabbed his hand and brought him to his couch and he sat down. I sat down and shockingly he laid his head on my lap. I ran my hands through his soft hair, he looked at me. As we made eye contact, He sighed. "Tell me...what's wrong." I say running my hands through his hair, he closed his eyes at my touch. "My mama." I wanted to awe, but stayed silence. "She was killed by the Hedrick family. When I was just ten, they snuck into my home and tortured her right in front of me and my dad. Then they shot her in the hea-" My soft cries cut him off, I couldn't help but cry. That was horrible. They killed her in front of him...he was just a kid. I felt someone rubbed my hand smoothly, I looked at Isaac and nodded for him to continue. "After that my dad started teaching me how to fight and kill. He was heartless. And...so was I. After he finished teaching me all I need to know. I became the Mafia leader and soon became a CEO. I learned to not love or care. I only care about my family and business....I became a monster. And I wont stop killing into I  kill all the Hedrick's." He said with anger, I nodded at him.

I couldn't hold back but..."Why you stop loving?" He was shocked by my question. "I wasn't taught to love...So I don't know what love is." It went slience for a second. "Do you know what love is?" He asked looking at me. I looked away as tears escaped my eyes as I remembered.

"You are worthless! Thanks for letting me take your virginity. Thats all I wanted." I cried as my very first boyfriend spit on my body and laughed.Tears came down my face quickly."Please stop!" I cried in pain as he kicks me repeatedly in the stomach. "This is all your fault!" He yells as he kicks me in the face, I rolled over and cried. "But Drew." I whispered looking him in the eyes, He kicks me again. Come to think about it...I dont know about love that much.

"Um...Uh." I started crying harder, Isaac sat up and hugged me tightly. I closed my eyes as he rocked me back and forward rubbing my back. "I-I don't know anymore. All the guys I have gave my all too has broken me and hurt me." I sobbed, he pulled me closer. "You are safe now. I promise, I wont let no one hurt you." He whispered as he hold me. "Im scared to love again." I whispered, he pulled me back and looked at me. We made eye contact. As minutes what seem like hours passed by, we looked at each other lips. Then it happened. We kiss. It felt so different from any kiss I have had. I felt protected, passionate and loved.
