When Lily steps away, to what appears to be her bedroom, Lawman tells me a little of what's happened tonight, but he stops as soon as we hear a man's angry voice, shouting. For the most part what he says is muffled but sometimes, we hear him pretty fucking clear. 
"That motherfucker is yelling at her again." Lawman stands and starts pacing. I watch him and have to sit in the leather chair before I start to pace with him. 
"He do that often?" I ask wondering why the fuck he allows it to happen. Fuck, why does she allow it to happen? I can look at her and know she deserves so much better than that shit. 
"Yes. The last time he did it, I stepped in and was refused to see her." He stops pacing and looks at me running his hand through his salt and pepper hair. 
What the fuck? Refused for her to see her dad? Who the fuck does that? Now I want to rush in there and pull the phone out of her hand and give the motherfucker a piece of my mind. 
"Tell me this asshole isn't controlling her." I growl leaning back in the chair placing my hands on my thighs. I'm not sure why the sudden possessiveness, but she seems so little and in need of protection, and fuck, that's exactly what I'm about to give her.  
"It's a long story but yeah it seems so." He says, and that is all I need to hear for the rage to take over. 
I lean forward and rest my elbows on my knees as we hear him yell at her again. The door is cracked, and we can barely hear her as she keeps her voice no more than a whisper as she talks to him. But we fucking hear him...loud and clear. 
We hear the last yell, louder and more demanding than the previous ones and we've both had enough. He fucking orders her like she's a fucking dog. He's fucking with the wrong woman. 
I begin to rise from the chair to take care of this asshole when I see Lawman storm into her room. I settle back down and try to calm myself. It isn't my place, it is Lawman's. He is the one that needs to put a stop to this. Why the fuck do I feel like it's my place?
Lawman turns and walks out of the room with a little Lily following behind him. She comes to Lawman's shoulders and it's the first time I've seen all of her without a pillow to her chest. Fuck, she's so fucking beautiful. 
Her black hair is long and wavy, falling down almost to her stomach. She's put on a pair of black biker boots and a black leather jacket over the black tank top and hip hugger jeans she was already wearing. 
She makes eye contact with me, and her gorgeous hazel eyes suck me in again. I could swear that her hazel eyes were bluer before and now, they seem greener. Fuck, they're gorgeous. 
The rage that once filled me is no longer there. All I see is her. What the fuck is happening?
"Let's get her out of here quick. If I know that motherfucker, he's got his drivers on the way here now to get her." Lawman says. 
I slowly rise unable to break eye contact with her, and she makes no effort to break it either. She looked so scared when she came out of her room and now, she seems...calm. That's right, Little One. I'm going to protect you now. 
"Leave your phone here." Lawman turns to her, and she puts it on the table next to her without protesting. Good, that saved me from throwing it out the fucking window on the highway. 
"It's best we aren't seen with you, Lawman. Wouldn't want anyone tracing her steps. I'll get her stuff." I instruct Lawman and glance at Lily as I walk past her, "Give me your jacket and put on a hoodie to cover your hair and face."
I watch as she pulls off her leather jacket and hands it to me. She disappears into her bedroom as I unzip the large suitcase and stuff her jacket inside, zipping the case back up.
