𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄.

               VIVIAN AND THE REST OF THE CREW decided to meet up at the hard deck for some late night drinks since it was a Friday. They all arrived and met at the pool table. Vivian was the last to walk into the bar. She looked around and saw her friends at the poll table. Bob was trying to hit the ball when hangman took the pool stick and shot it for him.

"Don't be so mean to the poor boy bagman" Vivian said to the taller man as she walked to him.

"He will live sweetie" he said smiling down at her and turning to the pool table and taking another shot after Omaha took his.

"Hey Vi" rooster said to the girl as he smiled at her from his seat at the piano.

"Hey roost!" She said smiling at him.

"Wow rooster, already trying to steal my girl away from me" hangman said walking behind her and wrapping his arms around her.

"Get off me bagman you smell like shit" Vivian said taking his arms off of her.

Now, rooster wasn't the jealous type. He didn't care what Vivian did I but when hangman pulled his little "stunt" he felt this over coming feeling that he honestly couldn't control. He didn't like that hangman had his hands all over Vivian. He hated it actually. If anything he would it rather be him doing it then hangman.

"Cmon hangman come dance with me!!!!" Vivian said to the taller male.

"Of course" he said taking her hand in his and leading her to the middle of the crowd of sweaty dancing people.

He rested his hands on her hips and began swaying to the music with her. She was giggly and smiling Vivian was, she hadn't danced with anyone since the 9th grade winter formal she went to with rooster but he didn't even dance with her. They just say and watched.

Rooster had enough at this point. He was at a breaking point if he was being completely honest.

"Say, viv..you wanna come home with me? I can treat you better then any other dude here" hangman said into Vivian's ear.

"I mean sure, why not" she said smiling and looking at rooster.

"For real?" Hangman asked.

"Yeah let's go" she said smiling and grabbing his hand leading him to the door.

"Oh ok" he said chuckling a bit whike the girl dragged him to the front door of the hard deck.

"Bye roosty" he said waving at him.

"Oh shut it bagman" Vivian said giggling.

When Vivian and Jake got back to his house, they sat on his couch and chilled. It took them a while to even touch each other, and not in a sexual way either.

Though, Rooster thought differently. When the pair left the bar, he got up from the piano and stormed out to his truck and left. Nobody knew where he went or why he left.

He went to the beach, that was where he had his first kiss, who was Vivian and the place he told Vivian he hated her.

He loved that girl with his whole heart yet before he left for basic, he couldn't leave her waiting for him. So he broke her heart so she would move on.

That was one of the most hurtful things for that boy to do. Hints as to how he was only 24 when he did this, he was pretty vulnerable. So was Vivian. Their young love, was no more until that diner. Until she looked into roosters eyes for the first time in almost 3 years. Until she felt that warm feeling in her stomach when he looked at her. Until she left with hangman.

Rooster absolutely hated Hangman, not only because he tried to steal his girl from him but because he was an absolute dick. Why would the girl who spent her whole life with him go for the bad guy? What was wrong with her?

"Jake, I don't think we should be doing this" Vivian said as Hangman was on top of her kissing her.

"Why not?" He said pulling away and looking at her confused.

"Jake I think I'm still in love with rooster.." she said looking at him.

"What?" He said.

"You heard me" she said looking down at her lap and playing with her fingers.

"Oh..." he said leaning back on the couch.

"I'm sorry Jake" she said.

"No, you don't have to tell me anymore, get out Vivian. Go." He said getting up from his couch and pointing to the door.

"Oh." She said getting up and grabbing her coat. She walked to the door and walked out.

When the girl walked out, she made her way downstairs to the lobby of the apartment complex. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and dialed the only person she knew would pick up.

"Please answer"

The only person she trusted with her life at night.

"Cmon answer the phone"

Her love

"Hello?"

The one she wanted

"Can you please come get me, I'm scared."

Her savior

"On the way"

Him.

"Thank you roost".
