As we fall

The day after

Mia's POV

I left Hayden asleep in the over priced hotel that we occupied for only a few short hours, glancing at the time at my cell, 5:15 am the screen reads back with only one missed call from Kayla about 20 minutes ago. I quickly redial her hoping she doesn't tell me any bad news of my parents finding out Hayden's here.

Mia where are you? mom and dad came up here to check on you but I had your back! Are you with tommy? Her voice whispered through my secret phone that only Kayla and Hayden know of.

Where's mom and dad now?

They went back down to the casino your okay! I told them that you went to get some breakfast from ihop because I got hungry. She laughs, where are you anyways?

I was with Hayden Kayla please don't tell Brandon you know he will freak.

Oh shit girl! Of course not. Don't even worry about Brandon he's down there spending all my money! What happen with tommy howd that go?

Uh I don't know he forced himself on me tonight and I didn't really like how I felt like I wasn't completely safe with him.

What do you mean? He tried to rape you? She asked frantically.

Well I wouldn't go that far. I say laughing. But he did forcefully kiss me and I feel as though if we weren't in a public place he probably would have raped me. I say in a serious tone. Anyways I'll tell you all about it I'm on the way back to the room now. I assure her and end the call.

After getting to the room I spill everything to Kayla and text Hayden that I had to get back to my parents room before they noticed me gone and apologized for leaving him, after I hit send I let sleep take over my withering thoughts.

The next day as we all woke up late, we met the millers for lunch at the country club in the resort.

That was some night James, I haven't gambled like that since I was Tommy's age. Mr Miller says laughing.

Tell me about it! I was down 5k and came back up with pocket Aces putting my stack back up to 11k. Dad replied in a proud tone.

As everyone made small talk at the table tommy stays quiet just staring at me with anger. Feeling awkward I drop my gaze from him looking out the large window to the golf course. I'll be right back, have to use the restroom. I whisper to mom as I moved from my seat and walked from the table. Tommy made it really hard for me to just sit there and ignore his murderious stare, I needed fresh air.

As I approach the big green course letting the cold wind hit my face, I take out my phone and text Hayden.

" good morning baby hope you slept okay"

Ya I just woke up about 20 minutes ago. I'm here at the restaurant I think I see your family where are you? He messaged back.

Look out the window" I simply replied.
As I looked up from my phone my eyes quickly find tommy right in front of me.
Oh! Fuck! I nearly screamed. You scared the shit out of me, what are you doing out here? I asked him frantically.

I could ask you the same?
Also I'm here because I wanted to let you know how mad you made me last night after that stunt you pulled! Your gonna be my fucking wife and I can kiss you whenever I want! He shouted coldly.

Excuse me? I don't even know you! Just because we walked around a casino and you paid for my fucking pancakes didnt give you the right to put your hands on me! I snapped back.

You need to get with the program! My family is paying a pretty penny for you so when I need to fuck, you better spread those legs for me cause I'm gonna be sure to get my moneys worth! He says grabbing my thigh forcing me against his body as I struggle to pull away.

Get the fuck off of her! Is all I heard before being shoved onto the ground. As I squint my eyes to adapt on the scene that's going on infront of my face.

Hayden is on top of tommy striking his face with his fist over and over,, she's mine motherfucker how dare you put your fucking hands on her! Hayden screams out the words as he continues his assault on Tommy's face.

Hayden! Hayden! Stop please! I try to grab his arm but he shoved me away to continue.
Hayyddeennnn!!! Stop your gonna kill him! Stop right now! Please Hayden or Its over! I yell nervously. And that diverted his angry attention towards me.

What the fuck did you just say to me? He snapped at me while getting off of Tommy and started to take slow steps closer to me.

I didn't mean it please I just need you to stop. I say weakly. With that I assume everyone saw the chaos going on from the window as I see my family and the millers making their way towards the fight.

What's going on here?!!! Someone call the police! Mr Miller says frantically as he made his way to his son, who was bleeding in pain still laying on the floor. My father glared burning daggers into Hayden's eyes but Hayden didn't even blink away as he held his stare down with ease.

What are you doing here boy!

That's a stupid question sir you know she's my reason of being here! Hayden responds to my father without fear.

Misses Miller is already on the phone telling the police our location as mom is quiet not saying a word.

Baby please go before the cops get here. Please! I say with tears filling my eyes. And with one more look at me over his shoulder, he nods his head in agreement and storms off huffing.

Everyone is in shock, asking tommy if he's okay and I don't think he is.. he isn't responding to his parents. And the nervousness hits my stomach even harder as the ambulance took him away. Luckily Hayden was gone by the time the cops came to the scene. They had many questions for me, which I just denied knowing anything that can help there case.

~~~

On the long drive back home dad gave me an ear full of threats and kept trying to force me into telling him Hayden's name so he can alert the millers, I knew that's all they needed to press charges on Hayden which would be, assault and attempted man slaughter since tommy has a concussion, broken jaw, and a broken nose from all the hits he took. It's bad... really bad. But I will not give in! I won't say his name! I will protect him from this with all the strength that I have. I won't let this ruin his career.

Mia he nearly killed your future husband! How can you still be on his side? Not to mention that this shit was supposed to be over between you and the "Guysho" dad says while following me upstairs to my room. I guess the 2 hour car ride wasn't enough arguing time for him.

Dad that's enough! I'm done listening to this! I love that man and I'm not gonna give you the information you need to lock him up! I yell in frustration. Goodnight! I end slamming my door shut before he makes his way inside. I locked the door and laid into my comfy bed that I've missed so much. I dial Hayden's number and hope he picks up.
