Scarlett's POV-1 Week Later

Ethan had been watching me like a hawk, forcing me to eat 3 meals a day, everyday, for 7 days straight. He really had kept to his word, he hadn't picked up on my purging, but my room smelt awful. I tried to cover it with candles and incense, but it was at the point that it was barely helping anymore.

I was in the kitchen getting us both a water, when two tattooed arms snaked their way around my waist, I spun around and kissed Ethan on the cheek. "I thought you were gunna wait for me upstairs,"

"I missed you," I laughed,

"Ethan, it's been less than five minutes,"

"Five minutes too long," I laughed at him and rolled my eyes playfully,

"Cmon, let's go back up to my room," I grabbed his hand and walked up the stairs.

As we reached our floor, Ethan spun me around and walked me to the closest wall, he hovered in front of me a second before leaning forward, pinning me against yet another wall, but he didn't kiss me, he got as close to me face as he could without kissing me, I tried to lean in, but when I did he would back away,

"Ethan," I whined and pulled a pouty face, he got impossibly closer to my face,

"What's up Tee," He teased, I pouted more, and eventually he gave in and kissed me, slowly, but meaningfully.

Our little moment was interrupted by a door opening and Simon walking out, he saw us, rolled his eyes and walked downstairs. Ethan backed away from me and I sighed, "Do you think we'll ever be back to how we all were,"

"I hope not, I want you all to myself," I smiled and shook my head,

"You know what I mean bug, I just want us to be okay with each other,"

"I know. As much as I hate him because of what he said, he's one of my best mates, not talking to him feels wrong," He sighed, "I'm sure this'll all work out eventually though, but for now, you're all mine, soooo, stick on some Netflix and we can cuddle," I smiled and nodded, we walked into my bedroom and sat on my bed. It had been redecorated, we'd bought a king size bed and moved all my stuff, Ethan had bought me a TV and we put it on a desk in front of my bed, it was pretty cosy. We cuddled and decided to watch some Once Upon A Time, it had become one of mine and his guilty pleasure shows and we'd only watched half the first season. I must have drifted off at some point because when I woke up, Ethan was gone, but I could here something coming from downstairs. I climbed out of bed and made my way to the landing. And I froze at what I saw, stood, in our hallway, was him. Mark and his little goons, each holding some form of weapon, Mark of course held a gun, "I told you she's not here," I heard Ethan shout,

"And I told you I don't believe you," He snarled back, "Oh Scarrrr, come out come out wherever you are, because if you don't they're gunna get it," I walked slowly around the landing to see just who "they" are, I stayed crouched low, and sure enough, lined up was Josh, Ethan, Vikk and Simon, "Who should we start with hmmm, weakest link and all that, you look a bit scrawny," He pointed at Vikk and nodded to one of his men, who was holding a bat, he walked forward and in two swift movements hit Vikk in the back of his legs and straight down onto his right shoulder, the one he'd had surgery on. I yelped out and ran halfway down the stairs,

"Lea-Leave them al-alone Mark," I tried to sound as confident as possible, but evidently failed,

"Awh, there she is, our little Scar," He said with a smirk, "Don't be shy (have some more, i'm sorry, I had too), come say hi," I stayed frozen in spot, "NOW," I jolted down the stairs and stood at the bottom, "Come here Scarletttt," I was too scared to move and tears pooled in my eyes, he nodded to someone behind me, who grabbed me by my arms, and kept them held firmly behind my back whilst they walked me over to him. He violently grabbed me by my hair and yanked my head back,

"Leave her alone," I heard Ethan yell,

"Awh, would you look at that," He nodded at someone else and I heard Ethan let out a yelp of pain, "That's what happens when you disobey me, isn't it Scarlett," I cried out as he placed his hand over my scar, "Isn't it," He shouted, I nodded my head in return, he grinned menacingly, "Let's have some fun like we used to, yeah?" I once again stayed quiet, until he started to kiss my neck, then bit down, trying his hardest to leave a bruise, "There we go, that should last a while," He kissed me again, but this time, properly, it made me feel ill. He threw me to the floor, "Where were we, oh yeah, him," He pointed at Vikk with his gun,

"Mark no," I yelled out,

"Shut up," He kicked me in the stomach, causing me to collapse, he kept his gun pointed at Vikk,

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

I struggled to my feet and ran forward to stand in front of Vikk, hoping he would stop the countdown,

"4"

"3"

My eyes went wide,

"2"

"1"

The last thing I heard was someone calling my name
