Till Death Do Us Part

Chapter 21

"Wake up asshole" Tony said hitting Mike with a pillow.
"Tony" I sighed.
"What? He's the one who cheated on his girlfriend with a whore" He said bitterly.
It was 9am and the hangover didn't help his mood.

Mike slowly woke up, holding his head in pain.
"Here" I said passing him some water and painkillers. He mumbled a thanks and then took the tablets. Tony just stormed upstairs.

"Do you remember what happened last night?" I asked Mike, who was now sitting up on the couch.
"Yeah" he said quietly, guilt on his face.
Suddenly Tony came back downstairs.
"Hey Kels, Hime called. He said Vic is coming over and he's beyond pissed off" he said to me.

"Shit" I muttered. This was not good. I heard Jaime's car pull up and Vic suddenly burst into the house with Jaime and Storm running behind him. Vic's eyes were full of anger. I walked over to Jaime who pulled me into a protective hug.

"We tried to stop him but..." Jaime started to explain when Vic punched Mike in the face.
"Get her away from here, she won't cope with this" Storm said to Jaime.
"I can't leave Mike he'll get killed" I objected, flinching as Mike punched back.

"I'll stop Vic before it gets too bad, he listens to me" she said giving me a sympathetic look. I just nodded as Jaime dragged me to his car and we drove off. We stopped outside my house but I couldn't move.

"What happened to you?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Kels, I'm not stupid. People don't flinch that badly when fights happen and Storm really wanted you away from that" he said gently.

I sighed and looked at the floor.
"My last boyfriend had trouble with his...temper, and I got most of it" I said quietly. He just held my hand and listened.
"Storm found out and convinced me to make a statement to the police. He got charged and I have a restraining order against him, but I can't handle being around fights or violence" I said, tears forming in the corners of my eyes.

He pulled me into a hug.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that baby" he whispered. We sat there like that for a while until I calmed down and we went inside.

"Is Ashlee okay?" I asked as Jaime sat down next to me on the couch.
"Honestly, no she's not. She went back to her house and I tried to stay with her but she said she wanted to be alone" He said. I made a mental note to talk to her later.

I wanted to know if Mike was okay. He seemed so weak before and Vic was the angriest I'd ever seen him.
"Tony will call when everything's cooled down" Jaime said, knowing what I was thinking.

"Hime?" I asked.
"Yeah?" He said.
"Can you not say anything about what I told you? I just don't want the pity right now" I asked him.
"I promise I won't say a thing. now try and rest for a bit, I'll tell you when Tony calls" he said, cuddling me as I fell asleep on his chest.
