Sacrifice the Innocence
The Next Morning
I woke up, slowly opening my eyes. I say up and looked around the strange room I was in.
"Hey you're awake!"
"How did I get here?" I asked holding my head.
"You don't remember?"
"I remember...Oh hell my ex-boyfriend beat me didn't he?" I said looking at him with tear filled eyes.
"Yes but Fienix, me and the guys stopped him before he could do some real damage." I pulled the blanket off of me and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to see what that bastard did to me." I said trying to stand.
"Here let me help you." Shadows got up and helped me into the bathroom. I turned on the light and stood in front of the mirror in shock.
"Fienix? You alright?" I touched the massive bruise on my eye.
"Fienix? Are you alright?"
"Yeah...I'm alright." I said still staring at myself in the mirror.
"I know. I should have gotten there sooner."
"Shadows...he would have done this to me even if you hadn't stopped him." I said turning around to face him.
"He's beat you before hasn't he?" I shook my head yes and looked down at the floor.
"Oh lord..." Just as he said that there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" The door opened and stepped in a girl I had never seen before. I didn't know if she lived here or if she was just visiting.
"Hey Ashley. What's up?"
"Oh nothing. I just came to see if Fienix needed anything...I mean to cover up the bruises." She explained.
"Do you need anything?"
"No...I want everybody to see the bruise on my face. I'm tired of spending hours just to cover up some stupid fucking bruise. I want them to shine." I said getting a little angry.
"Oh..."
"Yeah I told him 2 days ago that I was leaving him and he seemed really calm and not even angry...Then outside the bar he beat the shit out of me. I will never forget that look just before he hit me...it was a look of anger..enough to kill." I explained. A single tear ran down my face but there was no expression or sadness. I walked out of the bathroom and sat down on the bed looking down at the floor.
"I really need to get my shit from my ex's house and find somewhere to go." I said getting my shoes.
"I'll go with you."
"No...I need to do this alone" I said slipping my shoes on.
"You cant go alone. That asshole will beat you again...he might even kill you and I don't want to see that happen to you." Just as he finished his sentence a girl walked through the door and evidently she was listening to our conversation.
"He's right Fienix. I seen you when Shadows first brought you here. You go alone and you'll die and none of us want to see that." she commented.
"I have to do this...I mean he's got to learn that I'm not dealing with his shit no more...Then call around to my friends and see if I can stay with someone."
"Why don't you stay here with us?" she asked.
"Oh no I don't want to intrude."
"We have plenty of room here Fienix...I would be happy for you to move in here with us." Shadows said coming closer to me and putting his massive muscular arm around my shoulder.
"Alright...I'll stay. I still need to get some stuff though."
"I'll take you and Syn will go with us. Ashley go get Syn and tell him I need him to go with me to Fienix's ex-boyfriend's house to get her things." Shadows said wiping a tear that fell freely down my cheek.
"Alright. Be safe and please make sure Syn don't kill anyone."
"I will don't worry." he said as she left the room to get Syn.
"Don't worry Fienix. You'll be safe with us."
"You sure?" I asked concerned.
"Yes I'm a trillion percent sure...Syn hates a woman beater."
"He sounds perfect." I comment in my mind. I smiled at Shadows and wrapped my arms around his waist as Syn came through the door.
"Hey you ready to go?" I let go of Shadows and we walked out of the room and down that damn staircase. Why in the hell are there so many fucking stairs in this place. I sat in the backseat while Shadows drove and Syn in the passenger seat.
"Hey you're awake!"
"How did I get here?" I asked holding my head.
"You don't remember?"
"I remember...Oh hell my ex-boyfriend beat me didn't he?" I said looking at him with tear filled eyes.

I don't really know why I wrote this with her only using their stage names...when this was posted on Mibba I really didn't know anything about writing a good solid story..
