ever since maddy came back, hope has been having nightmare pretty much every night. she thinks i haven't noticed, but i definitely have. it breaks my heart every time she wakes up crying from one of the nightmares.

i wish there was something i could do about it.

friday, whenever i was sick, i found out that maddy had talked to hope, which was why it took her so long to get back to her house.

i laughed as i watched 'the office.' i heard my phone go off, so i reached around for it. my brows furrowed when i saw who texted me.

why?

there's some girl talking to her
i overheard her say something about how hope should take her back or some shit
i just thought that you should know that

ight thanks
you're a real one

yeah no problem

.

that text alone was enough to make my blood boil. i knew it was maddy. who the fuck does she think she is trying to get back with hope?

i need to teach her a lesson.

i only asked hope what took her so long to see if she would tell me. she had hesitated for a second before she told me that it was 'just traffic.' i guess i can see why she didn't tell me, but that's not important right now.

right now, hope is on her way to check out josh's new house with aiden.

i, on the other hand, am on my way to teach maddy a lesson.

i knew that she was at the movies right now. she had posted about it on her instagram story. she had posted it around two hours ago, so her movie should be done by now.

i waited until she exited. once she did, i discreetly grabbed her and pulled her around to the back of the building so that nobody could see.

"what the fuck?" she asked as i pinned her against the wall.

"you know, i really don't appreciate you fucking with my girl." i started.

"listen to me, because i'm saying this one time, and one time only. don't go near my girl again. don't speak to her, don't touch her, don't even think about her. i swear if i ever find out you that you did, i'll kill your ass. don't fucking try me."

"she's not gonna be your girl for long." she smirked.

i reached into my pocket and pulled out my pocket knife. i opened it and pressed it to her throat lightly. her cocky expression soon turned into a nervous one.

"she doesn't like you," i spat. "you literally fucking traumatized her. why would she ever go back to you?! are you that damn brain dead?"

"it's not my fault that she's just a little baby." she said weakly.

i pressed the knife into her throat, drawing a little bit of blood. "you best watch what the hell
you say. you don't know who you're fucking with. this is my babygirl we're talking about. i don't like seeing her hurt, and i swear i'll kill anyone who hurts her." i threatened.

i closed my pocket knife back up and slipped it into my pocket. "now, don't let anyone find out about this conversation or... well, i think you can guess what will happen."

i pulled my fist back and punched her in the face as hard as i could.

dumb bitch.

why would she think she could get away with making a move on my girl?

i made my way back to dragon and got in. i turned the engine on and started to drive away as i called finneas.

"wassup?" he answered.

"nothing much. can i come over? i wanna see your new apartment."

"yeah, sure," he agreed. "is hope with you?"

"nah, she's on the way to her older brother's house." i explained.

"ohhh," he dragged out. "alright, well, i'll send you the address, and then i'll see you when you get here."

"alright, see ya."

"hi!" i greeted claudia with a smile as she opened the door.

"hey!" she grinned as she let me inside. "make yourself at home."

i looked around. it was actually a really nice apartment and claudia has decorated it really prettily.

i looked down and saw peaches running towards me. i bent down so that i could pet her. "hi!"

i pet her for a few minutes. i got up when i saw that finneas was coming into the room. i gave him a long hug. "hi."

"hey, bil." he hugged me back. "you want a tour of the apartment?"

"yeah, sure." i nodded.

it's now nearing eleven pm as i got into bed. just as i was about to text hope, my phone went off with the ringtone that's assigned to only her contact. i opened our messages.

"hey, bubba!" she greeted with a large smile.

"hey, babygirl," i smiled as well. "are you about to go to bed?"

she nodded. "yeah, but i needed to hear your voice first."

"aww," i cooed. "you're so cute."

"thank you," she gave a cute grin before raising an eyebrow. "do you think you could play me a song on the ukulele?"

"yeah, of course." i nodded.

i got up real quick to go get my ukulele. i came back to my bed with it and set my phone up so that she could see my playing it.

i started playing the chords for a song that i wrote a while ago.

"wait a minute. let me finish. i know you don't care, but can you listen?" i sang. "i came committed. guess i overdid it. wore my heart out on a chain, around my neck, but now it's missing."

after i finished singing, i looked to my lips home to see that hope had fallen asleep. i smiled softly. "goodnight, angel. sweet dreams."
