Arabella
I held my head low in pain. I had been crying for many seconds now. "Please s-stop." I pleaded. There was a man, a very cruel man. He had his face covered with a mask and was wearing all black. "Shutup!" He yelled at me pulling his hand back striking me on my face. I bit my lip trying not to cry. I screamed for help, but it was useless. I remember him saying if I screamed, it was over for him. He squatted down in front of my face and look at me. I closed my eyes and look away from him. "Your so beautiful." He said touching my face. I was trying so hard not to do anything that could get me hurt, possibly killed. I could hear my phone ringing and Bronxie barking. "P-please." I said looking over to my phone. "P-please, let me answer." I said begging him. He payed me no mind before throwing my phone across the room. I screamed trying to get a loose from the ropes that was making my ankles and wrist red. He wrapped his hand around my neck squeezing me. I gasped for air trying to breathe. He lifted me up throwing me up against the wall, hitting me in my face multiple times. I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head and from there I don't know what happened.

August
I had been calling Bella nonstop, and she wasn't answering me at all. That definitely wasn't like her. I had a feeling, and not a good one. I unlocked my phone calling Miss Dorothy. It didn't take many rings before she answered. "Miss Dorothy?" I asked making sur she was on the phone. "Boy I told you to call me mama." She said with a laugh. "I'm sarry moms,um. I've been calling Bella all night, and I haven't got an answer. That's not like my baybeh." I said. "I know, I tried calling her also." She said before I heard rattling in the background. "I'm on my way now August, I'll call you baby hunny. She alright." She said before hanging up the phone. I just had thing terrible feeling. Shit.

Miss Dorothy
I knock on the door as if I was the police. I didn't get an answer from Bella. I twisted the know to see it was unlocked before walking inside. I walked into the living room and it wasn't a sight I wanted to see. I immediate panicked. My mind went straight to Bella. I looked all across the living room seeing her laid up on the floor against the wall. I grabbed my phone and immediately called 911. "Ma'am, my daughter she's hurt ! The house has been broken into and everything ! Please help !" She calmly told me that the ambulance was on the way, but I was not waiting on them ! "B-Bella come on baby." I said holding her up with all my strength. I grabbed ahold of her and quickly took her to my car not wanting to spare time. Oh Goodness. What was I gonna say to August. I drive to the nearest hospital not stopping for anything as soon I arrived. I ran inside and gathered help. The laid Bella on a stretcher and took her back. A man quickly stepped in front of me, telling me it would be best if I stayed here. "God Bless My baby" I quickly grabbed my phone calling August. He answered within seconds. "Hey Mama, was everything okay?" He asked. I didn't say anything. "August baby...Bella's hurt." I said with tears in my eyes. It all went silent. "I'm on my way home." He said. "Aug-" I said before I heard the line end.

August
I packed all my things and headed to the jet. My body guards were waiting and they already knew what was up. I couldn't just stay here knowing my baybeh in danger. I let everybody know what was out and regardless of what they said I was leaving. I apologized to my fans and promise I would send them a free album once everything dropped. I stepped onto the jet and watched as the doors closed. I made sure my assistant Nia. Got all that taken care of.

It took a few hours to get back to Atl since the weather was acting a little. I had everything escorted to my home and I went straight to the hospital. I didn't see miss Dorothy in sight. I went to the front desk, and told the nurse I was looking for "Arabella Brown." I had been tapping my foot and growing impatient. She gave me them room number and I quickly ran to the elevator. "317...318...319...320." I pushed open the door and I just couldn't believe it. Bella had been hooked up to a few tubes, her face was swollen, her lip was busted, her skin was red and bruised, he face even had cuts on them. I pulled at my hair and instantly became sick to my stomach. I wiped the tears coming from my eyes and just watched her, she took very slow and shallow breaths.  I can't believe this. I then seen the door being opened by Miss Dorothy. You could tell she had been crying. "August." She said before hugging me. I lost it. "It's all my fault." I said with years coming down my eyes. "If I just would've stayed home." I said. "Shh. It's not your fault baby." Miss Dorothy said rubbing my back. We then took a seat in the available bedroom chairs. "I just don't know who could've done this." She said. "Me neither, but beleeh' I will find out an' they gettin' what's comin' to em." I said with anger. We heard a knock on the door and it had been a doctor. I looked at him and his tag read "Mike Thomas"  I didn't say anything neither did Miss Dorothy. I just waited for him to speak. "Miss Arabella here is very very lucky to be alive." He said. "God is good, she is hurting and in pain, but she only has an concussion, I'd say it'll last for about a few weeks to a few months. She's very strong. When you just look at her, it looks as if a list of things are wrong, but she's gonna be just fine." He said. "When will she wake up?" I asked. "Within a few hours maybe. We gave her a little bit of sleepy medicine just to make sure she rests well." He said. I just looked up at him and over at Bella. " Thank you Doctor." Miss Dorothy said before he gave a faint smile and left. Thank you God. Just a concussion.

Time was flying by. It was now hours later and I was just waiting for my princess to wake up. I would feel her squeeze my hand at times. It brought a smile to my face to know she felt something or someone. I just looked at her becoming angry all over again. I could see a change. She began to open her eyes. I stood up looking over her. Her eyes were open. Those beautiful brown eyes. She opened the both of them feeling the wrap around her head not saying a word. She looked at me and I looked at her. I did a small smile before rubbing my thumb over her cheek before kissing her lip. She flinched at my touch and I quickly apologized. She looked so scared. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. I put my finger up telling her not to speak and I gave her a sip of water Miss Dorothy had brought by before she went home earlier. "Baby." She said before letting tears roll down her face. "Shh, hush mama. Its alright. I'm here, we'll talk about it later ."I said grabbing ahold of her hand. She breathed and just watched my every move. I texted Miss Dorothy, and I paged the nurse notifying them she was awake. My baybeh was awake.

3 days later
August
It's been three days ever since I had brought Bella home. She hadn't said much. The doctor said she was on a strict bedrest and I made sure she was following his rules. It just worried me, I didn't wanna rush her into talking about what happen, because I know Bella. She's gonna get upset and she's not gonna get through it. I grabbed her pills to help with the headaches from her concussion and jogged back upstairs. She was laid in bed and had been just watching the television. Love jones. Her favorite movie. She still looked like my Bella. Her swelling in her face went down dramatically, but she still had those bruises and cuts. I stood next to the bed before handing her the glass of water I had for her. She looked at me with tired eyes and down at her hands resting in her lap. I could tell she wasn't in the mood to argue. She swallowed her pulls with no issue and looked at me. "You wanna talk baybeh ?"I asked grabbing her hand. She looked at me and then her feet shaking her head no, with tears in her eyes. "I'm here to listen baybeh." I said climbing to bed with her. She looked at me and her face was in pause. "I-I tried to stop him baby. He wouldn't stop!" She yelled hysterically crying and tryin to catch her breath. ""Baybeh it's alright." I said wrapping my arms around her squeezing her waist and running my fingers through her hair. She cried inside my chest, and I let her. I was so pissed at what had happened. She wiped her puffy red eyes and looked at me as I rubbed her back. "A-August I don't know baby. He was hurting me and hitting me baby. I tried fighting him back, but I just couldn't baby. He kept hitting me and hitting me baby" she screamed sucking in air. I didn't know what to say. "Shhh...shhhh, it's okay baybeh". I said before I could feel her sniffles slowly die down. She had cried so much she tired herself out. "I'm sorry I've been kinda avoiding you baby..." She said with a pause. "It's fine babygirl."I said kissing her cheek. I was gonna find who had done this to my baby, and they will suffer consequences.

Arabella
I watched momma as she cooked brunch for August, her, and I. It smelt delicious, but I knew I wasn't going to eat. I had told momma that I just wasn't in the mood for much of anything. I wanted to stay in bed. I was waiting on August to come home, I missed him so much. I didn't ask him where he was going, but he said he would be back soon. I sat at the table listening to momma sing as she moved around in the kitchen. Her voice was beautiful. I could hear the front door close, and I quickly turned around waiting for August to walk deeper into the kitchen. "Hey baybeh." He said kissing my temple. "Hey mama." He said kissing her cheek. "Oh baby, hey." She said so excitedly. "Sit down hunny, breakfast should be ready soon." She said before pulling something out the oven, maybe sausage. August sat beside me rubbing his fingers over my knuckles smiling at me. He's so weird. Momma brought August and I's plate to the table sitting it down fixing us a cup of juice. She fixed herself a plate, but wrapped it in aluminum foil before sitting across from us. August instantly began to eat and I couldn't help but giggle at his facials. "Eat baby." He said picking up grits with his spoon trying to feed me. I shook my head not wanting to eat anything. He tried once again and he got the same response. "Bella." He said sternly before dropping the spoon. "Eat, and I'm not gonna tell you again." He said. Mommy was looking at me as if she wanted to say, "Girl you better eat." But she kept quiet. "Well. I'll be seeing you two later, be good, i love y'all!" Mama said before grabbing her things and leaving. "I'm not hungry." I said playing with my hair. "Bella. Don't get up from this table until you eat something." He said before going to sit on the couch cutting on the game. I was gonna be here all night.
