"Oscar where is Evie?" I ask him.
"She's at home, she told me to wait here, until she's ready to come back." he says and sits on my couch. "Ok stay here, I'll be back" I slip my shoes on and make my way next door. I get to the front door and knock on the door, and some man I have never seen answers it,
"Can I help you young man." He slurs, " I was looking for Evie" I take a step forward but he pushes me back.
"You can't come in here." He pushes me from my chest again making me stumble a bit.
"EVIE" I yell out her name. "GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS". he shouts to me.
"Harry" I see Evie who is clenching her stomach and bruises on her face I push him over and he falls and I run towards her and pick her up and leave her house.
I am carrying her bridal style over to my house and can hear her sobs which causes my heart to break. I kick my door open, "EVIE" Oscar yells and I lay her on my couch. "Oscar get me a wash cloth and to some warm water on it and bring it to me" I say and he nods.
I hear her whimper in pain and use my thumb to rub her forehead. Oscar comes back in with the cloth and I place it along scratches on her cheek. "OUCH" she yells out, "Sorry, sorry" I say and keep cleaning her face.
It is an hour later and Oscar has fallen asleep on the couch across from us. Evie has been in and out of sleep. She has her head rested on the pillow and I am sitting across from her with her legs rested on on mine. I see her flutter her eyes open I place my hand on her thigh. "Evie what happened?" I whisper, she sniffles and props herself up. "Don't worry Harry". she says but how can I not worry. "Evie please" I shuffle closer to her and place my hand on her cheek. "Angel, tell me" she starts to cry, crap good one Harry. She buries her head on my chest. "Who was he Evie?"
she uses her arm to wipe under her nose. "His my uncle" she reveals. "Your uncle?" I ask and she nods, "how long has he been doing this?"
"I don't even know, a while I guess" she puts her hands over her face, and I rub her back.
"Evie why don't you and Oscar live with your parents?" I ask her. She snaps her head towards me and the sadness has turned to anger I can see in her eyes. She just ignores me and avoids the question.
"I'm just glad he is doing this to me and not Oscar, I would never forgive myself if something happened to him." Evie says. I taker her hands "Evie no this is wrong what he is doing he should not be doing it to anyone" I say "It's ok you guys can stay here as long as you need." I tuck a piece of hair behind her ear. She then wraps her arms around my neck and kisses my cheek. "Thank you so much Harry." I back off a bit. "I'll help you two get organised" I stand up and say.
