I wrapped my arms around the small, fragile, crying girl in my arms. I rubbed her back and rested my chin on top of her head. When she looks up again, I kiss her forehead and lead her to the living room. The guys look at me like I have three heads and a tail.

"Guys this is Nikki, an old friend of mine" I say 

Nikki looks bewildered at all of the super stars in the room. I wrap my arms around her shoulders and pull her closer to me to bring her comfort.

"She's tiny" Luke says 

"Wow, like I don't get enough of that" Nikki snaps

I look at her and notice a black eye on her beautiful face.

"Can I ask you a question Nikki" Jason says 

"Sure" Nikki shrugs

"Why do you have a black eye?" Jason asks almost reading my mind

"I......ran into a door" Nikki lies 

I growl under my breath

"Ok, now give the truth" Luke sighs 

"My boyfriend, Alex, did this to me and a lot more" Nikki says crying again

I sit down in the recliner and pull Nikki down on my lap and let her cry.
Soon after her cries die down, she falls asleep on my lap.

"Track down Alex and talk to him, I hurt him" I say

"You like her don't you?" Kolby asks

"Just an old flame" I lie
