Anymore

Seeing and hearing the fear, Ty knew that there was no way he could convince Libby to report this. He knew it was useless to argue... he knew, because he'd been there and he knew that when he had experienced a similar circumstance, no one could convince him to report it.

As Libby returns to his embrace, he just holds her, letting her cry. He's not really sure how long they stand together, but it didn't matter. Everything else was forgotten.

Eventually though, he pulls Libby away, being extra careful as he wipes away some of her tears. Along with them, some of her makeup is wiped off as well, and he begins to see just what kind of damage had been done to her face. And he hurt even more.

"You and I are leaving," he informs quietly. "I'm taking you to TJY where our physician can check you out. You can trust him... and he won't ask any more questions than I let him, okay?"

He runs a hand through Libby's hair, trying to convince her that she could trust his words. "Then you and I and a friend of mine are going to go to your house and pick up your things... because you're not going to stay there any more."
