Luce closed her eyes when he said he had to go. She nodded knowing that he was going to leave her there. She was with Dave, not him even though every inch of her was saying to do otherwise. She felt him hug her and wrapped herself around him tightly. Hearing him say it was good to see her again made her heart break she felt that they where over. She nodded and smiled at him weakly as he moved to his things. She sighed and then moved to place the quilts his mother had made the kids over them as she turned to see him move to slip something into her hand. She smiled and smiled lightly as she grasped the paper tightly and sighed as she looked at him.
"I will...." She said lightly. She felt some tears falling but he was there to catch them just like always, she smiled lightly.
"I know you are Aidan.... You will always be in my heart..." she said kissing him gently on the cheek.
She looked at him as he said goodbye to their dog and frowned. She wanted to make him stop but she could not bring herself to do it, to completely get rid of Dave yet. She felt a bond with him since he was her friend for the longest time. She sighed as Silver whined. She waived as they left smiling bitterly as she did.
"I will see you around." She said nodding and headed to her room as soon as she heard the door shut, the number was in the drawer next to her side of the bed, that once was Aidan's, she would not allow Aidan's side to have Dave in it.She moved to the bed curling up in it and sighing as she had kicked her shoes off and taken her jeans off.

Luce woke what seemed like for ever as she looked up hearing the door again thinking that Aidan had come back to see her but then she felt something was off. She turned around just in time to see the drunken Dave coming into the room kicking his clothing and shoes off smiling at her. Her smile turned into a terrified frown as Dave got closer he got in the bed grabbing her arm and pulling her close to him. She let out a gasping scream as she looked away.
"No! Dave.... what are you doing!" She cried as she smelt the scent of booze on him as he pressed his lips on hers and growled.
"You are mine now Luce.... NOT his....That b*****d does not deserve you!" He said as he pinned her down on the bed. She began to struggle as she kicked him off finally. She sat against the headboard and was gasping as she saw him looking pissed. Dave got back up and moved towards her.
"Leave me alone Dave... you are drunk..... do not do this.... please..." She said as he narrowed his eyes.
"You are mine Luce." She shook her head.
"Aidan would never do this!" She cried as she climbed out of the bed and tried to leave the room, but Dave grabbed her by the arm tightly. She closed her eyes as she felt him shaking her.
"Never say that!" He said as he smacked her she frowned and used the bottom of her palm to hit his nose breaking it in the process, but in response Dave punched her in the eye and let her go. She collapsed on the ground crying as he looked at her snarling. He turned and left the room taking a blanket with him. She laid there crying for a while before she pulled herself up and crawled back into her bed.

Two days had gone by and the bruises on her arms and her eye had minimized as she picked up the phone, Luce had taken the rest of the week off so that no one could see what Dave had done and now she felt she could at least hide it for the most part. She sighed and looked at the phone as she picked it up and dialed the number into it looking at the two children dressed for a day out with their mom. She listened until the number picked up. She was still sounding defeated
. "Aidan?" she gave a small smile over the phone.
"I was wondering.... do you want to come out with me and the kids. We....wanted to go to the park..." She said as she looked at herself in the mirror, she was going to need sun glasses to hide what he did, but she really wanted to see Aidan despite Dave threatening her the day before about telling Aidan or seeing him. He seemed to not have any remorse for what he had done to her even if it was while he was drunk.
"I just have to load them up into the car and we are ready to go..... I was just wondering if youd like to join...." she said trying to fight back the pain she felt. If she was still with Aidan they would just be going together, she would not have to ask him if he wanted to go.
