Lisa's P.O.V.
**Song Suggestion: Don't Give Up On Me by Amber Leigh Irish**
Davis' question caught me off guard. I didn't think he saw me in this way. That he had found me attractive or wanted anything more to do with me. I thought he had found me too weak, maybe even irresponsible. Yet here he stood offering to keep me safe. Words I never knew I needed to hear before.
Safe.
But how can he? This isn't something that can be fought with physical strength. My happiness means the undoing of Lucas' new life. I can't place myself before him again. He's my little brother, yet he protected me from our father all my life. Now it's my turn. I'm the older sister. I should have been protecting him all this time.
I knew what was happening, letting it occur because I was too scared to take a beat
