Chapter 3

Warning: Mature content in this chapter.

There standing in my doorway of my room is Devin Johnson, Daniel's brother. Devin is a year older than Daniel but, back in Middle school just after Daniel and I started dating, I went over to his house to study for a test we had the next morning in Science. While we were working Daniel informed me he needed to go talk to his dad and then he would be helping his mom finish supper and told me I could go ahead and watch TV until he came and got me for dinner. While I was watching Sports Center, Devin came in from his room and sat down next to me.

*Flashback*

I felt the couch sink beside me, so natural instinct I turn my head to see who it was. When I looked over it was Devin who was only in his boxers. HIS FREAKING BOXERS! Next thing I knew I was being picked up by him and being carried to his room bridal style. Thats when he threw me on his bed. I tried to scream but he ended up tying my hands behind my back, and duck taped my mouth. He ended up standing in front of me and dropped his boxers. That was the first guy's part I have seen. Even with having step-brothers I never walked in on them changing or in the bathroom nothing along those lines. I was getting scared at that point, he started walking over to me and was about to start unbuttoning my pants when Daniel walked in. When Daniel walked in Devin jumped back and held his junk and had a frightened look on his face. I looked into Daniel's eyes and they had so many emotions running through them, the main one was disappointment. Daniel called for his mom and dad, I heard them running through the house when his dad came in first. Matthew's eyes, Daniel's dad, eyes landed on Devin then turned to me. Matthew jumped to tackle Devin onto a beanbag chair. Ashlee, Daniel's mom came running in right behind Matthew and ran over to me and helped me get untied and then held me as I cried into her shoulder.

As Devin was laying on the ground with the weight of his father on him, he screamed out, "I love you Hayden!" I ran out of that room and outside.

"Honey, if you would like I can take you home." Ashlee offered. I was about to say yes, but that's when Daniel walked out and stood next to me.

"Are you okay? I shouldn't have left you, i'm so, so, so sorry. I'm such an idiot."

"Daniel... It's not your fault it's his. I don't get how either of you like me... or from what he said 'love' me but, I don't care for him i'm just so glad and thankful to have you come in when you did and for you to be my boyfriend." I said with a sad smile on my face.

"Hayden..."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you to." I said with a smile on my face that was so big you could put a whole apple in it. "Just promise me one thing."

"Anything, you name it and I will do it for you."

"Please, don't make me ever face him again, and please don't tell anyone about this." I begged. I knew if my brothers or my step-dad found out, Devin would have 4 different guns to his junk and be standing on dynamite. But, if Brent found out... Brent would not let me get close to Daniel ever again for hopes I would never see Devin again.

"I promise."

*End of flashback*

"Can we talk?" Devin asked me. I wanted to say yes but, I don't want to talk to the Johnson brother's ever again. But, with Brent by my side I felt the urge to talk with Devin as long as Brent is still in the room with me. "Alone?"

"We can talk, but Brent stays with me." I knew I needed to tell Brent about what happened with Devin but I don't know if I could ever come to terms with what happened.

"I don't know if that's a good idea."

"Look, if you don't want Brent to be with me to talk then we won't talk. In less you want to my brothers to."

"You know what I'll talk to you some other time... When your not being a b*tch." When Devin was about to turn around Brent grabbed him and I threw on a pair or shorts and a sweatshirt. Brent shut the door and Devin began to refuse to talk to us.

"You have no right to call me a 'b*tch', if I am such a 'b*tch then why did you tell me you loved me or why your brother said he loved me, or even why I am star of the volleyball, and tennis team. You come to my house and call me a b*tch. Honey that don't hurt my feelings one bit, but you have no right to call me a bitch." I just started going off on him at that point. "Being called a b*tch isn't the worst thing I've been called.""Oh really honey," he mimics me, "then what's the worst thing you've been called?"

"The girl you love." I saw both Brent's and Devin's mouths drop. I knew I would have some explaining after Devin left.

"You know what I think we should talk about the thing from middle school."

"You say that but I can easily put your ass in jail. Just think about what position you will be put in."

"My mom is a lawyer and will sue you for trying to put me in jail."

"Oh really because your mom was a witness to what happened so was your dad and brother. Plus your mom tells me whenever I go to eat dinner over there that she wishes she had me rather than you."

"B*tch you did not just say that..."

"But, I did." With saying that Devin clenched his fist and he raised it trying to hit me but I have seen that move so many times it looked pathetic. I pinned him to the ground while Brent was video tapping it, that little asswhipe lets me do all the fighting. Well if he did try to fight he would get his ass kicked and I would still have to jump in and get Devin. "Bastard if you want to try and hit me again I will leave you the way I left your brother."

"What do you mean by the way you left my brother?" I then showed him my phone where the video was going viral and had over 800 views on YouTube and I've had 36 people send it to me. As he was watching the video his face went white like a ghost. "I-I'm s-s-sorry, I shouldn't have called you a b*tch, or threatened you. I'm SO sorry, please let me go I will do anything!" Devin begged.

"You know what, since I so nice I will let you go under one circumstance."

"I will do anything just let me go."

"You tell your brother he will be dead if he dares to try and talk to me again. And that goes for you to. Also, tell your parents I love them." I started out fiercely and ended with a smile. Thats when I climbed off Devin's back and he jumped to his feet and took off running out the door Brent was holding open.

"Now that he is gone do you want to go out to eat at the diner?" I shook my head quickly.
