Pain.

"Let me go, I can walk on my own " Tatiana grumbled but Jack didn't let go leading her to his car.

He opened the door and placed her down in the seat she tried to jump out but he stood in front of her.

"Tati, don't move," he said and she stopped moving to look up at him angrily.

He frowned seeing the blood still flowing from the cut on her forehead, his hand pulled something from his pocket gently placing it on her head.

Flinching in pain, Tatiana cried, "Hi, it hurts"

"Am sorry " ...he moved her hand placing it on top of the hankie now at her head, "hold it there?" he said.

He closed her door and got into the car. "Where are we going," she asked.

"To get that treated," he said driving off.

At the hospital her cut was stitched she sat next to Jack in the doctor's office.

"Does it still hurt? He asked.

"No, have a headache but am okay now " he sighed fixing her hair to cover the cut.

"She will feel a little dizzy and headache but it will be gone by tomorrow. Let her take these and also rest " said the doctor.

"Alright thank you," he said.

They walked out with his gently holding her arm.

"You don't need to hold me, am fine " she smiled.

"I know but I still want to do this," he said.

After he bought her medicine they left the hospital. Tatiana stopped and turned to him, "You can leave me here now, thank you for tonight but I have to go home now " she said.

He scoffed, "You're chasing me away after using me like this "

"When did I do that, it's was you who came to me and insisted on bringing me here "

"Then why are you telling me to leave, I want to drop you hope so I can make sure you are safe," he said.

"I didn't mean it that way, I just thought I had troubled you enough. I haven't even returned your ring yet and now you're helping me again " she explained.

"Why are you thinking for me, am doing this cause I want to. So please let me take you home "

She sighed following him to the car. They drove in silence after she told him where to drop her.

She didn't know when she slept off but woke up with his jacket over her.

She turned to see him out of the car talking on his phone. She placed his jacket aside, grabbed her bag and got out.

He turned hanging up, "You're awake ?" he said.

"Yes, how long did I sleep ?" she asked.

"An hour," he said glancing at his phone.

"Huh, and you let me sleep. We arrived and you just let me sleep instead of waking me "

"Yes thought you needed it, but now you're up so go inside and get more rest. It's not safe outside " he said.

She smiled, "Okay, thank you for tonight "

"Welcome Tati, go in and rest "

She walked to the entrance of her apartment ten turned back to him.

"For your information, my place isn't safe cause Mark has been here before so he can get in without me knowing " noticing the fear appear in his eyes she smiled, "but don't worry I don't think he will tonight "

Waving she turned and walked in.

Yes, mom is fine, I got the wound treated " She answered.

Noisy Patricia had called her mother and told her what had happened.

"Maybe I should come over, just to make sure you're safe," her mother said.

"Nooo mom, am okay really. I don't think he can come here anyway. So please rest and I will come to see you tomorrow " she said.

She took a bath and got into her pyjamas, then went to her computer to finish some pending projects.

Her doorbell rang, "who is it at this hour " she frowned walking up to it.

She knew Mark would not dare, Patricia was drunk to come over so who was it?

"Who is it ?" she opened it to see Jack standing in front of her door.

"Hi Tati, sorry to intrude but can I stay here tonight " he smiled
