“Get the bitch inside now, Gio!”a female screamed.
I knew that voice…knew that fucking cruel bark. I glanced over my shoulder, seeing Natalie standing in the doorway as I flew across the front of the house.No…God, no.
I drove my boots into the ground, the Jeep all I saw.
“Get the fuck out of there now, Ryth!” Nick roared from the phone as I ran…until I was hit from behind.
Gio grabbed me by the hair, wrenching me backwards. “Fucking bitch!”
I kicked and punched, trying to get away.“Get the fuck off me!”
“Goddamn cunt.” He yanked me back as I tried to shove forwards, pulling me so hard I fell and hit the ground. “Think you’re too fucking good for me?”
Fire lashed my scalp, his fingers entangled in my hair as the others from inside began to spill out.
“Get her inside, Gio!”Natalie screamed as she ran toward us.
No…no, please no!I lashed out, driving my fist into his side, watching as he buckled with pain.
They’d hurt me…if I went in that house…they’d hurt me.
I shoved upwards, tearing free from that vicious hold, my boots finding purchase on the hard ground. Voices came from those inside as they stumbled out of the house. But they made no effort to help. I knew deep down they wouldn’t. The Jeep glistened in the moonlight…like a beacon.
Get there…that’s all I had to do.I shoved up and ran with all I had.
“No, you fucking don’t!”Natalie screamed.
I caught the blur of movement, then a heavysmackthat lashed my face, snapping my head sideways, and my body followed. I stumbled and fell, hitting the ground hard. But before I could think, she was on me.
Sharp nails clawed my face, dangerously close to my eye.
“Fucking cunt!” she screamed.“You think you can take MY boyfriend?”
I fought as hard as I could, slapping her hands away. Tears instantly filled my eyes, blurring her as she came for me again. My phone…my phone.I jerked my gaze across the ground, finding the glint.
I tried to shove upwards as she slapped my face once more. My head rocked with the impact and my ears rang, burning with the blows as I roared, “He’snotyourfucking boyfriend!”
“You fuckingbitch!”She lunged, her eyes wide and wild.
Gio held his side as he limped closer, glaring at Natalie. “You said you weren’t going to hurt her!”
I pressed my hand to the sting of my cheek. My fingers came away glistening in the night. Blood…that was blood. I jerked my gaze to her as she came closer.
“She thinks she can take my Nick from me?” she spat. “I’ll make it so he never looks at her again.”
I moved, stumbling sideways toward my phone. Muffled roars grew clearer as I bent on trembling legs and grabbed it.
“RYTH!”Nick screamed.“FOR FUCKS SAKE, RYTH!”
I lifted it to my throbbing face, my voice trembling as I spoke. “I-I’m here. I’m here. Nick, I’m scared.”
“Hold on, princess. I’m on my fucking way…just hold the fuck on.”
She took a step toward me, her curled lips baring her teeth as she focused on the phone in my hand. “He’s mine…you got that, you stupid, ugly cunt?”She dropped her hand to her waist and drew something long and silver from her pocket. “He’s always beenmine.”
The knife flicked open with asnap,the long blade glinting as she stepped forward. “I’ll make it so no one looks at you ever again.”
My stomach clenched, and fear rooted me to the spot. “No…please no.”
