Walking up the stairs I was feeling depressed. When I got to my door I noticed it wasn't latched and immediately started freaking out. I couldn't catch my breath and spun around thinking he's going to pop out at any second. I called Tyler and he told me not to touch it and to wait for him. Tyler happened to be with Carson so the two of them showed up within 10 minutes. I was waiting outside the door too scared to have thought where else to go. I was just frozen in the hallway. Tyler went into officer mode and toed open the door. He had his concealed carry weapon on him so he entered with that first. I waited outside with Carson. He had his arm around me trying to make me feel better but I just felt unsafe. I hate my apartment now and I hate that someone got in. If I hadnt have been at Logan's last night would it have happened again? I felt my phone buzz and glanced down, "Who're those guys Fia? I thought you liked me huh b***h? If you show this to them something bad might happen to little Samantha or maybe little Mark? I'll be watching so dont make any funny moves." I made the mistake of squeaking. Carson asked if something was wrong so I shoved my phone in my pocket and shook my head. Tyler came back out and said everything looked fine but it was weird it was open. I felt another buzz and pulled my phone back out, "Dont even think about staying anywhere else tonight and you better not have anyone with you or I'll pay a little visit here." The next image was of Tj's house. I tried to be calm and hold it together but my knees buckled at the image and I fell to the floor. Tyler immediately snatched my phone and I screamed, "No! Dont! He said if I showed anyone Sam and Mark no! Give it back!" Tyler's face immediately hardened and he swore under his breath, "That son of a bitch." Suddenly the phone buzzed again and his whole face got bright red with fury, "Where are you you asshole come out!" He got on his phone and called Tj telling him not to go home right now and had Carson call the police. I reached for my phone wanting to see the last message. He was obviously trying to hide what Steve sent so I snatched it while he was busy on the phone. "Fia no dont look at that!" It was a picture of me naked and bleeding passed out on the bed after he had beat me. "Like what you see? She's MINE!" I dropped the phone and started to hyperventilate. Tyler ran over taking the phone and cupping my face, "Breathe Fia. Just breathe."
The next couple hours were all a blur. The police took my phone as evidence and took my statement again. Tyler and Carson stayed with me the whole time except for when they took my statement. I didnt want them to hear all of it since I had to retell what happened the other night. I was able to get my work scrubs from my apartment with an escort of course and then asked if I had anywhere to stay. Tyler spoke up, "Where did you stay last night? He even said he didnt know." Before I could answer he slapped his hand over my mouth, "Wait dont answer that. He seems to be able to see us and I don't know if he can hear us too. I was exhausted and seemed to be moving on autopilot so when the officer asked, " That's probably a good idea. Can you stay where you did last night again?" I shook my head, "I dont think so." Tyler snapped his head in my direction immediately demanding, "Why? What the hell happened?" I ignored him and stared at the floor. He huffed, "Fine you're staying with us then." I just nodded. The officer turned to Tyler, "Okay so what about your other brother? Does he have somewhere to stay?" He nodded, "Yeah they are going to stay at the hospital is there a way to have someone posted outside their door though?" He grunted, "Fine."
We left the station and went directly to Teagan and Tylers place. It was a two bedroom apartmemt so I was going to sleep on the couch but I was grateful. Carson hung out with us for awhile. They played video games and I watched. Just like when we were little at the old house. I ended up falling asleep on the floor in front of the couch but woke up tucked in on the couch hearing them talking in the kitchen, "Man aint this some s**t. So what do you think wouldve happened if you hadnt have been standing there when she got the texts?" "I dont even want to think about it. I guarentee she would've tried to handle it herself though. She loves Sam as if she were her own. Probably Mark now too so she would've definitely sacrificed herself for them. God I cant get that picture out of my head man it was so bad." Carson spoke up, "I know she's not my sister by blood but just like I see you guys as brothers I see her as a sister and man I want to beat this guys ass." They continued to chat a little more until Carson had to head home.
