For you, I hope the grass is greener

Chapter 25 Savior

Daphne's POV

I still won't look at him as he keeps leaning in, I squeeze my eyes shut as I feel him smelling up the side of my neck, causing me to whimper out and shiver in fear. He scoffs as if I have said something before he states, "I always had a thing for you, Daphne.. But.. you probably never even gave me a second glance." I shake my head before spatting, "You're my husband's brother. Of course, I wasn't looking.. I'm not a cheater."

He scoffs again before he whispers in my ear. "You never thought about it.. what would it be like to be with me? Or just someone other than my brother? come on." he states this before s*cking on my ear. I gasped as I thrust my waist, trying to get him off of me."Oooh man, there is so much fight and anger there.. did I push a sensitive button?" he asks as I spit in his face, causing him to laugh.

"Not the button I was planning on pushing.. but don't worry, we will get there." I shake my head. "Do this, and I'll make sure you regret it." I threaten with nothing to actually defend that comment, and he knows it. He pushed out a forced chuckle, still looking down at me as I felt his hand pushing under my bra and gently touching over the curve of my breast.

I gasp and cry out, hoping to escape from this horrible situation as I watch him inch down closer to him with tears running from my eyes as I shake my head. "Please.. stop." I beg one last time as a malicious smile forms on his face. This look is telling me he doesn't care what I think about this, that he is going to do what he wants.

I cry and shake my head until I hear my glass door sliding open with so much momentum that the glass shatters, falling all over the kitchen tiled floor. This loud sound is causing the both of us to jump. We look over towards the loud sound as I instantly lock my eyes on Nick, who is flying across the room like some sort of stunt man in a movie.

He is jumping over the couch, instantly colliding his body into my attacker's, tackling Scott to the ground. They roll over multiple times before slamming into my front door, which makes the rolling come to a stop. Nick is on top, sitting up while he hovers over him, throwing so many punches, one after the other right in the middle of his face. These hits are sending blood flying around with each move made, making such devastating contact that I think Scott might have brain damage after this is said and done.

Scott reaches out for me, I think, wanting help, but there is no way I'm doing that after all he has done to me. I shake my head, only letting out a whimper as I quickly sit up enough to start backing away from this traumatizing scene. I'm sliding back hating seeing this, but appreciating it all the same. I'm happy Nick came here to help me, but that doesn't make this scene any less terrifying.

Nick glances over at me for a short moment before he double takes. His eyes are wide with horror but not at what he has done, but I think over the idea that I saw all that was done.. He can tell how scared and traumatized I am of this whole sight, so he stops punching without hesitation as he stands up. Leaving a limp Scott on the floor as Nick's bloodied hands raise in the air in surrender.

"I'm sorry, Daph. I'm sorry.. I know I shouldn't have come in here and done all of that.. like that, at least.. but I didn't want him to hurt you.. I came home and heard you yelling, and I tried the front door, but it was locked, so I had no other choice.. I had to go through the glass door.. I'm sorry I broke it.. But I'll pay for it.. I'll call the police and assist him in getting the help he needs.. Because he is not dead.. just unconscious." he declares, trying to explain everything for my peace of mind as I feel the tears streaming over my cheeks.

I nod as Ingaso for aur crying. he gets cloaer to me with panic on his face as I shaje my head saying between gasps for air. "I'm ok.. I'm ok." this is all I can get out as I take a couple of deep breaths, looking around as he gets down on the floor in front of me. I watch as his arms slowly reach out, making my heart jump with anticipation as he hesitantly stops, then continues before he gently wipes away my tears that are still silently falling.

"I'm sorry." He says to me as I shake my head. "No.. don't be.. thank you for coming for me." I say sucking in a sharp breath as my heart beats out off my chest. I can't believe that just happened. "Did he hurt you?" he asks softly, inching closer as I nod before biting my lips, feeling it tremble as the tears fall down again. The whimpers are muffled but still heard.

"What did he do to you? Did he r*pe you?" he asks, and I shake my head. He lets out a deep breath filled with relief as he asks, "Did he touch you?" He asks as I feel my teeth pinching my lip as I nod vigorously when I notice his eyes darken. "I will murder him!" He yells, turning to face him. Without hesitation, I reach up and grab his arm. "Please don't.. please.. please." I ask, almost begging of him as I suck in a sharp breath between the words.

He nods his head as he scoots closer. I feel his hand cup my cheek as he hushes me in a calming tone. "Ok.. ok.. I won't.. but it's hard not to because he hurt you." He says as I nod in understanding, but I still don't want him to do this. "I get that.. but please don't stoop to his level.. I don't want you to get in trouble." he nods at my comment.

I lean in, laying my forehead on his shoulder as he slowly wraps his arms around me. I scoot closer as his grip gets tightens around me while I lay my head on its side as I let out a wavering breath. "I have to call the police." I say to him as he hums in response. "I already called them.. they're on their way." I nod, leaning into him more.

The sounds of sirens can be heard approaching the house, but I can't move.. Until I think about my kids.. I don't want them to come home to this chaos. "Can I borrow your phone, or can you get me mine?" I ask as he leans back from me to pull out his phone but not letting go of me to do so. "Here, use mine." He states as I quickly call my sons phone. It rings multiple times with no answer, especially since he doesn't know the number and is on a date.. so I called him again.

After the 3rd attempt to call, he finally answers. "Hello?" he asks as I cry out. "Andy.. it's me!" I feel the tears welling about ready to pour again. "Mom? Who's number is this and what's going on?" he asks in shock, which is understandable. "I was attacked at the house.. by Your Uncle.. but the neighbor broke into the house to help me, and I'm using his phone.. the police are headed here now." I explain as beat as I can as the sniffles emerge once again.

"You what?! We're coming home now!" he yells out as I cry into the phone. "Ok." I say not knowing what else to say.. I just had to give them a warning before they think I'm dead or something with the police here. I can hear banging on the front door as lights shine through the main window, but with the curtains drawn, I can't imagine they can see in here.

Nick slowly lets go of me as he quickly stands and goes around the couch and limp body to let the police in. As they start to come in one after the other, being cautious of the scene in front of them. Nick starts by explaining what he knows to the police.. They come to me and, of course, question me as the ambulance arrives right behind the cop cars.

My skin has turned red from all the areas that were hit or hurt in one way or another, so they examined me and the damage done as I heard my kids yelling for me. So I quickly walk out the front door to meet them so they won't have to see their bloodied up uncle or frontroom area that's covered in blood at the moment.

"Mom?! mom?! are you ok?!" they ask with so much worry on their features as they run across the filled up driveway and over to me. I catch both of them in my arms as I squeeze them so tight as if I'm afraid they will disappear at any moment. I nod my head, but I can't ever seem to stop the tears. They both hug me as I shake my head, not knowing what I could say to them to make this any better or easier to handle. This is just a hard situation all around.

"I'm so sorry for not being here, mom.. we shoukd have been Herr instead of thw movie." Andrew declares as I shake my head. "I'm so happy you guys weren't here to witness any of that. I'm just happy knowing you guys are ok." I state to them as They look behind me. My son lets go of me as I turn to watch him walk towards the house but he isn't headed for the place he is headed towards Nick who is currently getting his hands cleaned and wrapped since they are bleeding from all the punching that he did in my defense.

I can't hear what they are saying, but I see Andy talking with Nick as he nods and says something back. They both turn and look over at me as I see my son shaking Nick's hand before giving him a hug. I feel a relief in my heart at that sight. I think Nick is helping all out in one way or another.

"Daphne?! Daphne?!" I hear from behind me as I turn around just to be crashed into by my husband. His hand searches my face for any drastic wounds, but as he discovers there aren't any, he lets out a sigh of relief. "Daphne, are you ok?! Andy called me and told me what happened. I can't believe my brother would do this.. I'm so sorry I wasn't here." he declares as I push him away, not wanting this type of contact from him.

"Well, I wouldn't have expected you to be here.. you have more important things to think about than your ex.. So you can't blame yourself for not being here or knowing what your brother was capable of.. but luckily for me, someone was here to help me when I needed it." I say as I turn and look at Nick, who is still talking with Andrew. Nick glances over at me as we share a small smile.
