Hurt

                                    

                                          
After her girlfriend left, Yuri went upstairs to lay on her bed for a while. She wanted to feel and breath the essence Natsuki had left there that morning when they held each other and shared a peaceful nap. Yuri was recalling the earlier events like a movie she'd play over and over again. The shy bookworm smiled happily everytime. 
                          
Around half and hour later, Yuri's reminiscence was interrumpted when her phone buzzed from the night table next to her bed. It was a call from Erika. Yuri thought the twintailed girl probably was worried for her about being supposedly sick, sure her behavior was odd sometimes but the shy girl believed she was a good person in general. Yuri then picked up the call.
                          
"Hello, Erika", Yuri spoke calmly. "Yuri! Listen carefully please and don't ask any questions yet, got it?", The girl on the other side of the phone said, nervousness in her voice. "O-Okay, I understand", Yuri replied starting to get worried. "I'm outside Natsuki's house, and I saw her father well, abusing her, I still can hear her crying from inside her apartment and her father hitting her with something, I think he might have snapped because he hadn't stopped in like 10 minutes. I believe you should come here and do something, I'll send you my location and I'll wait for you at the buildings entrance", Erika explained and hung up. Immediately after that Yuri received her twintailed friend's location still trying to process what was happening. She changed into some more comfortable pants and rushed outside her house.
                          
Yuri knew she had to be fast so she ran in direction to the address Erika gave her hoping a taxi would pass at some moment. Luckily for her, a yellow cab was coming from the opposite direction and Yuri quickly stopped it. She got in and told the driver where to go. Worried sick of what was happening to her girlfriend she tried to regain some calm while the car kept moving. "Natsuki's father abusing her?! Why?! Wait, she said her father didn't want her to see me again. Did he find out about today somehow? Isn't that going to far anyway?! ...it now makes sense why Natsuki didn't want to give much detail about it in general or why she didn't want me to try to talk him... Aaagh! That son of a bitch! He's been hurting my precious Natsuki all this time!! I don't know what I'm going to do but I sure know I have to stop him and get her out of there for good!". Yuri had been lost in her thoughts for what it felt like hours for her and was then brought back to reality when the driver indicated her that they had arrived to her destination. She quickly paid for the ride and got out of the car.
                          
The apartment building was old and gloomy, completely different from the aura Natsuki always had around Yuri. The purple haired girl then rushed to the entrance and saw the black haired girl waiting for her. "Good thing you were quick, follow me", Erika said and made her way upstairs followed by a worried sick Yuri. The taller girl took less than 5 minutes to get there compared to the usual 15 or so minutes Natsuki always made on foot. When they got to the floor where apartment 1408 was, Yuri stopped by the stairs. "I will go and try to get her out, could you please stay here and call the police if I do not come out in five minutes?", Yuri asked with determination in her eyes. "Y-Yeah, you can count on me", Erika replied to her determination with a confident smile. 
                          
The taller girl was now in front of her girlfriends apartment, she knocked the door as hard as she could. On the other side an angry skinny pink haired man was catching his breath still holding the leather belt. He was taken by surprise at the sound of the door and glanced at the defenseless girl laying on the floor, trembling and crying quietly. He started panicking as he realized the situation. "Shit, shit, shit! GO AWAY!", Natsuki's father shouted hoping the knocking on his door stopped. It had no effect though, Yuri would not go anywhere without her beloved Natsuki now. She persisted for a few more seconds and then tried to open the door herself. She turned the knob and to her surprise and relief the door opened, all thanks to Natsuki's father being too mad to lock back the door when she tossed her daughter inside.
