I sipped my little plastic cup of water as I sat against an old metal chair and some old metal table and the door to my side opened. And a man came in he had an old white shirt with a coffee stain on it he had a mug that said 'same shit different day' and he sat across from me with some paperwork “Name?” he asks
“Felicity Martina Warren,” I tell him
“Tittle?” He asks
“Miss” I answer
“Request?” He asks still not looking at me
“Change of location for safety and a restraining order,” I tell him
“Full name of restrainer?” he asks
“Arthur Hariss” I answer
“So you want a restraining order for your boyfriend I take it? You two have a little domestic?” he asked looking up at me
“No” I answer
“Well, miss Warren we have been through all this before with you. Are we sure it's not something to do more with you?” he began
“I beg your pardon?” I ask him a little offended
“You want your dick roasted on an open fire” I heard a familiar voice laugh I looked to the door and saw a familiar face Peter Franklin, Peter I had known all my life he was a best friend of my fathers while my father was still on the force and Peter had helped me with every problem I ever had “Hello Felicity” he smiles coming and giving me a hug and I happily hugged him tightly the other man left leaving me with Peter “How have you been?” He asks “Ohh sorry, not good else you wouldn't be here” he chuckles and I smiled a little “So, what's happened?” he asks
“I thought I was safe. The first time I decided to be nice and trust someone and he destroys me” I answer almost crying I told him everything about how I met Arthur and how he had changed over the past few months he hung on my every word making notes every now and again
“Okay, now as you know there are many actions we can take, we can send a police escort home with you make sure he doesn't come within a hundred feet of you I'm afraid any further we would need a court order and he would need to be present to be aware of the ruling, we can move you again a place maybe closer to work far away from him, we can arrest him see if there is anything we can charge him with? From what you've told me breaking and entering for sure, maybe even harassment if we can swing it but again that is likely to bring him closer to you, My personal recommendation take a few days off work, he comes within a hundred feet of your house you call us” He says
“There is something else” I add
“What?” he asks a bit worried so I lifted the skirt off my dress showing my bandage “what is that?” he asks
“He... he burnt a brand into my skin” I answer
“Okay, we will get you a med team to look it over, I will send you home with a police escort I will be onsite personally to deal with him if it's alright with you?” He asks and I nod “Good, come on” he says so I got up and followed him out he took me first to a medical room in the police station while he went to deal with paperwork they checked up my side it brought a tear to the woman's eye she cleaned it with some stuff that made it sting like hell. Before she wrapped it up much better then I did or Arthur did. Once I was done I looked to my phone the messages were starting to flood in as I had missed the train by now when Peter came back he saw me looking at my phone “It him?” he asks and I nod “Can I take his number? For the file?” he asks and I nod giving him Arthurs number and the spare ones he calls on sometimes if I don't answer him he took me out to a little blue car one of those cars they use for police work that doesn't just have police plastered down the sides but it did have a little light on the top there was a walkie talkie in the car and a few cups of half-drunk coffee he started up the car and began driving off slowly “Other than all this stuff how have you been felicity?” he asks
“Okay, works been good. I'm branch manager at the bank now” I smile
“Aww well done, you been working that place for years, how's Mark doing?” he asks
“Not sure, I haven't spoken to him much” I shrug
“You hungry?” he asks and I nod so we pulled into a drive through getting some take-out food that we ate as we drove “You know Felicity, you're a tough girl, Probably the toughest girl I've ever met. Any other girl went through half the shit you have would have kicked it long ago” he says
“I don't know if that's a good thing or not” I sigh
“It's a great thing, you put up with a tone of shit in your life felicity, Danny, Luke and now Arthur,” He says
“Your friend said maybe it's me, I'm starting to wonder if it is, something about crazy boys has it in for me” I sigh as I ate
“they go for you felicity because your sweet, you're sweeter then a pile of sugar and because your tough. Tough enough to take it, just folks like Danny knew what happened when you thought back” he laughs as we finished up and we began getting close home the further we travelled down the winding roaded the further I sunk into the seat “You will be fine. I am here and will be till we get this all sorted. He kicks up a fuss I will be calling for backup they will be here in two seconds they are all parked around the house far enough not to look odd but close enough to see just as we passed Arthur's house
“That one, back there. That was his place” I say
“Okay, we may put a specialist on him if things get tough” he says as we turned to my street I saw my door open and lights on inside as we pulled up in front of my house I saw Arthur come out looking mad with worry tears streaming down his face “stay here, lock the door” he says handing me the keys he got out the car and I locked it as he told me too I tried not to look but it was impossible.
“Who the Hell are you?” Arthur asked
“Evening Sir, I'm Officer Franklin, mind explaining to me what you're doing in Miss Warren's home?” He asked him
“Officer? She's not in trouble, is she? Has something happened?” Arthur asked
“You didn't answer my question Mr Hariss,” Peter asked
“I'm her boyfriend, she lets me in all the time” he answered “what is all this about?” he asks
“Sir I have to politely ask you to leave the premises,” Peter told him
“what? What are you talking about? I can see her there just let her out your little cop car” Arthur smirked “Felicity! Darling!” He calls to me looking around peter to look at me
“Sir I have to ask you again,” Peter said
“What?” Arthur chuckled “This is some sort of joke, isn't it? Felicity, come on get out here” He laughed
“Sir I do not want to ask you again, you have been asked to leave, so please return to your home else I will be placing you under arrest” Peter warned him
“Arrest? What has she told you! I'm her boyfriend what is it illegal to go see my girlfriend now? FELICITY!” He yells now getting angry at me “Felicity, get out here right now!” He orders and I just sunk into the seat more away from him
“Sir this is your last chance return to your home before I have you detained,” Peter told him
“You...” He began “YOU LITTLE BITCH!” He screamed pushing peter out the way and banging on the glass of the car window trying to get to me “Come on darling, come on out and Play Felicity” he smirked he looked like he would have killed me if not for the glass and metal between us
“Step away from the car!” Peter yelled just as Arthur broke the glass on the window I screamed as he unlocked it from the inside and dragged me out by my hair onto the grass of my front garden
“what the fuck did you tell them? You little liar! I have only ever been kind to you, sweet even. I am your perfect boyfriend aren't I?” He smirked
“STEP AWAY FROM HER!” Peter screamed as Arthur held me tightly to him lots of other officers had now came running out there car's to us “Let her go” He warned and Arthur dropped me to the floor a officer lady picked me up and held me away from everything “Arthur Hariss I am Officially putting you under arrest” Peter told him begin to read him his rights and such like he bent him over the hood of the car to handcuff his hands behind his back until he stood him back up and another officer who actually came in a police car took him and his face softened
“Felicity, Please My darling. I love you” he told me as they began to take him away
“Wait!” I called and they all stopped I ran and gave him a hug “I'm sorry Arthur, I did love you” I told him before I moved away
“Did?” he asks breaking into tears “I loved you! With every fibre of my being, I loved you! Why would you do this! I ONLY WANTED TO PROTECT YOU!” he screams as they took him away.
