I could hear Isabella and me screaming for him to stop. The scenes of Liam hitting my sister and me with a belt, or a whip kept on playing in my mind; the way he made us feel like the dirt he was.
"No! Please stop! Please, we are sorry! I did not know-" I said as someone shook my shoulders. I could hear Isabella scream as she was beaten to unconsciousness by Liam. I had tried to stop him but he had pushed me, making me fall on my back.
"Ma- Annabella! Annabella, what happened? Baby, look at me," Austin said as he brought me back from the haunting memories. When I looked at him, he looked relieved, concern etched in his eyes. He pulled me into his chest and rubbed my back soothingly.
"It s okay. Breathe in and out," He said and I did as he said.
