MATTIA'S P.O.V.

I hang up the call and immediately begin breaking down as I punch the wall; grabbing the attention of Alejandro who just finished calling 911

"Bro" he says approaching me as he puts his hand on my shoulder. "It's okay; it's gonna be okay" he says calmly

"No!" I yell. "I fucking told you I would take care of that bastard and you insisted that I let him go! This could've been prevented!" I say as my eyes blur from the tears

"Okay I let you hurt him and then what? You pay the jail time?"

"Yes! Anything to protect Dawn— I would've done anything!" I yell as I push his hand off of me. "It's all my fault!"

"It's not your fault or anyone's—"

"It's that bastard's fault!" I yell. "I swear when I see him I'm really fucking him up this time!"

"Let the cops take care of him"

"Jail time won't do shit!" I yell

The door bell rings and I shake my head as I run towards the front door, hustling to unlock it and then I pull it open. Immediately I see Dawn and pull her into a hug; holding her tighter than ever as she sobs into the fabric of my shirt

"Baby I'm sorry" I say crying as I shake my head. "It's all my fault I should've gone with you" I massage the back of her head

"Stop it wasn't your fault" she whimpers as she tugs on my sleeves. "I just wish this didn't have to happen to me."

"You don't deserve this" I say shutting my eyes and letting the tears fall. I've never been like this before

This soft

She makes me soft like this though. She's the only one I would risk my life for in a heartbeat

"Excuse me?" Someone asks. I lift my head to see two men: one walks towards us as the other exits the vehicle. They're dressed in the police county uniform. Dawn leans on my chest as she wipes her red eyes and watches the men come up the lawn

"We received a call from someone in this house about an incident" one of the men says; he's a white man with dark hair and dark eyes.

I nod and tell Dawn to go inside but the man shakes his head. "No ma'am you've gotta stay outside right now so we can ask you some questions"

"Can we please just talk inside it'd make me feel safer" she says as she holds onto the doorknob

The two men look at each other and proceed to enter the house with us.

When they get inside, I see Alejandro take a seat on the couch and I sit besides him, with Dawn sitting on the small chair .

she's shaking

"Okay what's your name?" The officer asks as he takes a seat on the other couch

"Dawn" she says quietly as she looks into nowhere

"Okay Dawn can you please tell me what happened?"

"Uhm" she begins as her voice shakes and she clutches onto the chair's arm rests. "So I went to get pain killers from the pharmacy a few minutes away from here when I saw this guy that I know named Wes-"

"Wes" the officer says as he writes something down on a notepad

"He's assaulted her before" I say

One of the men look at me and furrows his brows. "One second"

He gestures for Dawn to continue

"A-and I saw the guy and he told me he had painkillers at home. He said I should go get them from there instead of me having to buy them from the store" she looks over at me.

"And I w-went with him"

She went with him? But he was obviously tricking her. Why would she go with him

"Continue" the man says as he writes something else

"Uhh- uhm so I went with him and he told me they were in his room in a drawer. He told me to go look for them while he did something for his sister. So I went to his room and looked and then heard a door shut. And I look up and it's him and then he comes closer to me- a-and yeah. He did- that" she wipes her eyes

"How did you leave the house?" I ask

She bites her lip and I shake my head. I can't stand seeing her like this

"He" more tears fall. "I'm sorry-"

"No don't be sorry it's okay" the man says. "Take your time"

"H-his sister heard me screaming for help and knocked on the door. She wouldn't leave and then he puts his shirt in my mouth as a gag and threw me inside of his closet"

My mouth goes agape and I bury my face in my hands trying not to show anyone I'm holding back my tears .

"And he does something before opening the door— I'm guessing he put clothes on— a-and then while she talked to him I tried to undo the gag and it was oversized so I put it on" she looks down at herself. "It's what I'm wearing right now" she cries

I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. I know it's hard Dawn but we'll take care of this" the officer says

I lift my head. "How" I snap. "Take care of it now"

"Well there's a procedure we have to go through"

"Well do it now" I say loudly.

"Sir we-"

"She was thrown into a closet! The guy's psychotic!" I shout as i stand up

The men stand as well and Alejandro pulls on me to sit down but I push him off of me and walk towards the door- slamming it open and walking right out.

I make my way down the two blocks until I make it to his house. I turn around and see the officers are making their way over— they're still by Dawn's house though.

I begin banging on the door harshly until someone opens up. It's his sister

"Matt-"

I push past her and make my way to the guy's room banging on the painted wooden door.

"Holy shit- what!" I hear him yell and once he turns the knob I push the door open and he falls back. I grab him by his neck and immediately tackle him— punching at his throat and head as it slowly turns more red.

"Oh my god!" I hear his sister yell behind me as she goes to get me off of him but I ignore her and continue punching at the guy who isn't fighting back as I scream at him. "You piece of shit I'm gonna kill you!"

"Aye aye aye!" Someone yells. Deep loud voices. It's the cops

They pull me off of him and onto the ground, pushing my face against the floor as they take my hands and I feel them place me in cold handcuffs. "Get me out of these!" I yell as I tug on the metal restraints but it only hurts my hands more.

-

They bring me downstairs with another officer holding onto Wes and once I get out the house I see Dawn on the sidewalk crying as I'm walked towards the police vehicle

"Mattia!" She cries as my head is pushed down so I fit inside the car. Shutting the door, I can't hear her crying anymore but I can still see her

'I'll be back soon' I mouth as the car drives away. I watch as she drops to the floor in tears
