Crazy beautiful mess....in a wedding dress

Chapter 18

Mavericks POV

I looked at Hanna over on the couch holding Lainey in her arms. I had called Hanna right away and she rushed down here.

When Lainey had hung up on me I called Gabe right away not knowing what was going on. When I got there and the door was locked and I couldn't get in, I didn't even know what came over me.
I had put Lainey in my jacket and made sure she was ok before I started to watch the security footage with Gabe. "Right here it shows us when he got here." Gabe said while watching the video. I saw the terror in her eyes in the video when she turned around. watching how she tried to act as if it was nothing as she stared him down. The first hit came from her and a small smile went to my face as I saw her fight. When her body went flying over the bar is when I wanted to run out to Gabes partner and ask him to let me have more time to knock the shit out of this man.

"Ok, that's just camera one. camera two we see what happens behind the bar." he said softly as he clicked a button bringing up the next camera. She had grabbed some glass and tried to use that to defend herself. Once again I was proud of my girl for trying to fight.

when he had his hands on her something in me got worse. the way he ripped her shirt off sent me. just his eyes on her body I hated. I couldn't watch anymore.I walked away going right to Lainey and grabbing her and putting her to her feet.

"Hanna, can you come over tomorrow and take Lainey out to get some lunch. I'll be at work for most of the day and I don't think she should be on her own."

"Mav" She said softly but I wasn't letting up. Hanna nodded her head "yeah of course I can. as soon as I'm done with work I'll be over."

"Great." I pulled Lainey with me and got the hell out of here. If I didn't leave now I was going to go out into that bar and find the first bottle that wasn't broken and start chugging. I was fighting more than one demon right now and I just needed to get somewhere that I was able to hold her and just let the world fade around me.

I hadn't even realized when I was home and carrying Lainey to my house till I was standing at my door trying to open it. it's like I blacked out the whole ride here. Once my door was opened I walked her in watching her go right to the couch and sitting down. I went right into the kitchen and got a big glass of water chugging it before I refilled the cup and took it to Lainey. She wouldnt look at me; she was just looking into space. when I put my hand to her shoulder she jumped out of her skin. I could see it in her eyes she was crying but like most times she was trying to hide it.

"I'm going to kill him.'' I hissed seeing a new bruise now forming on her cheek. her eyes snapped to me and she finally looked at me for the first time in an hour.

"Maverick you can't. Besides, I'm ok."

"Bullshit." she just rolled her eyes and got up to her feet ready to make her great escape. I let her get to the door but I pushed on it, closing her in. "You're not ok Lainey and it is ok. you need to open up and i'm here."

"You're not my therapist Mav. I don't think we should talk about this stuff given the type of relationship this is."  I wasn't letting her run. "Fuck that. that relationship aside. I'm the one person you've opened up to this much and you're not closing me out now."

"Fine, you want to know how I feel!" She hissed, turning around facing me and I saw her pissed off. It was kinda hot but it wasn't time to think about it.

"I feel like I just had a part of me taken again. like he got to me while I thought I was finally safe from his shit and now he's going to go to court and get his way out of it" Her tears fell and her face got more red.  "Mav I don't even want to think about what would have happened if you didn't get there in time." pain and anger built up in me at the thought of that alone. "He's not getting out of this Lainey. he's going to get in trouble because we have proof of stuff now."

"He's smart Maverick, he can talk his way around a lot."

"He's not going to hurt you."

"He will say one thing and they will believe him."

"He is not going to hurt you." I said it one more time and this time she broke into tears falling into me
