Ever since the day Preston saw Ronan hit Ari, he hadn't been able to stop thinking about her. She wouldn't listen to him that day, but he wasn't going to just let her continue to be beaten by someone that she claimed to love. He had asked her brothers to meet with him at a coffee shop, but not the one that Ari worked at. He figured that if she wouldn't listen to him, maybe she would listen to them. Even if she didn't, they deserved to know what was going on. Preston sat at an empty table, but he didn't bother to order anything. He wasn't in the mood for coffee. He just wanted to get this over with.

"Are you sure we should've left Aztec for some butt munch? " Erik asked. He clearly had gotten really close to the puppy but he still didn't admit that he liked the puppy. He looked over at Kai. "Why did he need to talk to us anyway," Erik asked. He clearly just liked to complain.

Kai sighed. "He said it was about Ari," he said. "And that it was important. I don't think he would ask to talk to us if he didn't have to." He laced his fingers with Erik's and then walked into the coffee shop. When he saw Preston, he nodded slightly in greeting and sat down across the table from him. "Hey, how're you?" he said, just being friendly. It was obvious that he just wanted to know what was really going on. --- Preston looked up when he heard the door open, and he was relieved to finally see Kai and Erik walk through. "I'm alright, I guess," he said, sounding nervous. "So I'm sure you're really confused on why I would ever want to talk to you both, and I'm sure it's none of my business, but I think Ronan is abusing Ari. We were hanging out the other day, and he showed up freaking out about her ditching him or something, and then when he left she ran after him. Then I found her with what would have been a broken nose if she wasn't, well, you know." He didn't want to say werewolf for fear of someone hearing them. He pursed his lips, nervous for their reaction.

Erik didn't even know what to say. He didn't like when people treated their significant other like a piece of shit like emotional and physical abuse not cheating like he did. "He did what?!" Erik asked obviously angry. He was tempted to just go out of the cafe, find Ronan and just punch him, maybe rip him to shreds.

Preston took a deep breath. "Alright, calm down," he said. "I'm angry too, trust me. But we aren't going to solve this by beating him. The only person that can really fix this is Ari. Us telling her that she shouldn't see him is only going to make her want to see him more. It has to be her choice to leave him." Preston had done a ridiculous amount of research about domestic violence that he could probably write his own book about it at this point. --- Kai was shocked. His first reaction was anger, but after what Preston said, he just nodded in agreement. "But we can't just let her continue to be in an abusive relationship, can we?" --- Preston shook his head. "It feels wrong, I know that, but all we can really do is try to help her out of it. Make her realize that what he's doing isn't right, and that it isn't her fault either. If you can, I'd say try to get her to see a therapist about it, maybe?" Preston wasn't sure what else he could say to them.

Erik just laughed a little. "Her, yeah, right. It already took her like 5 years to see one about her dual personality. She'd never go see one because of this. She's stubborn the way to solve this is throwing him off a cliff or handing him over to a werewolf, " Erik said. He knew his sister well. She wouldn't go to thearpy for this unless Kai really convinced her. She would just let it keeps happening. That's how she was. She always felt like she could solve problems she couldn't.

Kai looked at Erik with a shocked look on his face. "Could you be serious for like five seconds, please?" he said, but he wasn't really annoyed with Erik. He was angry at Ronan. "But I'll talk to her about going to see a therapist. And you need to keep your mouth shut about this if you aren't going to be supportive." Kai didn't want Erik to piss Ari off and make her shut them out. --- Preston nodded. "Thank you," he said. "Really. I know you guys might not like me that much, but I really just want what's best for her." Preston was glad that this didn't go too horribly.

"I'm just being practical about this. You want to let him roam around. Who says he'll stop with ari?" Erik asked. He was annoyed that he was being treated like he was a little kid this was him being serious he didn't get why Kai didn't understand that.

Preston sighed. "He's not going to," he said. "I'm not arguing that. But you can't kill him, and if we try to keep them separated then she'll just shut us all out." As much as Preston would have liked to just kill Ronan and take care of it, that wasn't going to help anything. Killing him would be illegal, and Ari would never forgive him for it.

"I didn't say you guys had to do it," Erik murmured. He didn't see what was so wrong about his ways but kai made it very clear most hus thoughts were wrong. He just wanted to go home. He wasn't sure why Preston even asked erik to join this conversation it's not like they'd listen to his ideas.
