Vic's POV
I still can't believe that Tony proposed. It's cute though. I looked at Maiah who was looking at her feet. I tapped her and she looked at me, smiled, then looked back at her feet. I picked her up and ran upstairs.
"Stay here for one second." She smiled and I ran downstairs.
"Hey! Maiah isn't feeling good so we're going to go lay down. Okay?" They nodded and I ran upstairs. Maiah was sitting where I left her. I sat next to her and held her hand.
"What's the matter, babe?" I asked. She looked at me and stared into my eyes.
"I'm scared that Matt is going to ruin the wedding. Even though he said he was going to leave us alone, I looked outside and he was sitting there. I ignored him, and you proposed to me. I looked at him after that and he was glaring at you. H-h" she started crying and I held her hand tighter. "He had a knife. He seen me looking and pointed to you. He slid his finger across his neck and fell over pretending to be dead. He sat up, smiled, and ran away." She said still crying. "He's going to kill you." She finished. I rubbed her back and hugged her. Damn Matt has to ruin everything.
"It's okay. I won't let him kill me. I know how to fight." She shook her head and looked at me.
"Whatever you're capable of, Matt can do better." She said and I pulled her into another hug.
"I'll have Tony, Mike, and Jaime help. I've met this boy named Kellin and he can help too. Trust me it'll be okay. We can call the police as well." I said. She nodded and looked at me.
"I just want to be happy with you with no issues." I nodded and kissed the top of her head.
"He has to learn to back off. You're mine and he's not going to change that. Isn't he still dating Cheyenne?"
"Yeah. I still don't get why he wants me. He said I was better off dead." I don't get how anybody could want her dead. She's gorgeous, nice, smart, sweet, and she made me the happiest man on earth.
"Don't kill yourself because of what he said. He's stupid and doesn't know what he's talking about. He like is so overprotective of you for no reason. You're mine. NOT. HIS." She nodded and I kissed her forehead.
"It's like he's my dad and he's stalking me. My dad. My mom. They did this." I looked at her in wide eyes. "They did! How could I not see this!? They hate you and Jaime but mostly you. They had this little 'thing' for Matt. I bet he called them and said I broke his heart and is with somebody else and they got pissed. They made sure that they ruin my life." She said. I looked at her in disbelief but it all came together.
"Amazing how you did that. Yes they did." I spun around to see Matt sitting there with a knife. I gulped and looked at Maiah. She sat there in wide eyes.
"Leave us alone." I said. He laughed.
"No. I'm ending you tonight." I grabbed Maiah, my phone, and my wallet, and ran to the bathroom. I Locked the door, and took Maiah to a secret hiding place I built. I knew something like this would happen. It's really well hid so nobody but me knows where it is.
"What the fuck? How did I not know about this?" Maiah whispered as I took her into it. I closed the door and locked all 10 locks. I mean we have to be safe.
"I built it because I knew this, or something like this, would happen. We have to be safe." She nodded, and I pulled out my phone and called the police. Matt was pounding on the bathroom door and I think he broke it down because there was a loud crash on the floor.
I finished the call, and I looked at Maiah and she was crying.
"What's the matter babe?" I wrapped my arm around her.
"I didn't want it to end like this. I wanted to live forever with you, not fucking die!" She covered her face in her hands.
"It won't end baby. The police said they were just around the corner so they are coming soon. It's going to be okay." She stopped crying and wrapped her arms around me.
"If we die, I wanted you to know I love you with all my heart." I held her tighter.
"I love you too. I think the police are here." We sat there in silence and listened.
"Freeze! Drop the knife!" There was a little thud.
"There I dropped it! Please don't do anything to me!" Matt pleaded.
"Get over here. I'm handcuffing you till I get the full story." He knocked on the little door, and I unlocked it and opened it. We got out and sat on the bed to get questioned.
"What's going on here?" He asked.
"Well, it's happened since 10th grade. Maiah broke up with him and he hasn't left us alone. Whenever we try to be together, he's there and ruins it. He tried to kill me today because her parents told him to because they don't like me. He broke in like 5 times. He spy's on us ALL the time. He's beaten us up like 3 times." Matt sat there and looked his shoes. He was given one call and he took it to call his parents.
"I'll talk to him when he's done and off the phone." I nodded and looked at Maiah. She was looking into space and I nudged her and she looked at me. I leaned over and kissed her. She looked really worried.
"It's okay baby. Don't worry." She nodded and pulled me into another kiss before the officer came back in.
"He confessed to everything. He's going to jail." I smiled a little and so did Maiah. "His parents are going to talk to you two. Tell them the story and it'll be okay." I nodded and he left the room. Matt was still in handcuffs and stood in the hallway.
"Matt!?" A familiar voice said.
"Upstairs." I heard the sound of footsteps they came to the room. Matt tilted his head to my room and they walked in. I looked at Maiah who's jaw hit the floor.
"Oh my god." I whispered.
It was Maiah's parents.
