How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 2

*Vivian*

The next day at the park, I left the boys to do whatever they needed to do to use the bathroom. I saw that I had a text from John asking me where I was. I told him a half lie, that I was with Matt and Jeff again at the park, and that we were going to be doing some sparring. Only we weren't. We were going to grab some snow cones and sit around and talk and whatever.

What time will you be home, babe? John texted back. I rolled my eyes at the word 'babe' and texted him back: I don't really know, I gotta work with him on some things, things that he's actually capable of doing b/c of injury. Other things I'm doing with Matt.

Okay :) He texted back and I put my phone away and walked out of the bathroom. It was then that I heard yelling by the walkway.

"Alright, you two? What the heck is going on? Are you stalking us?" a voice asked. I walked up behind Jeff as he was holding his hands up in the air. I wrapped him around the waist and smiled happily. The chick was staring at me like she was trying to figure out who I was.

"Hey babe!" I said, kissing his cheek. She gave me a "What the fuck" face and I just smiled at her. I don't know why she was mad all of a sudden but there was no point in getting pissed off at her. Another girl walked up to the first girl and stood by her.

"Who the hell is this chick?" The first girl asked. I let go immediately suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

"Avril! Watch your language!" Huh that's funny, Morgan has a child named Avril, but it couldn't be the same people, could it? Nah...

She stepped up to Jeff and pointed a finger in his face. "You don't tell me what to do! You are NOT my father! Look, I don't know who you think you are, but this is going to stop. You are not going to start more of this damn drama!"

Drama...? What was she talking about? Jeff and I weren't doing anything wrong.

The other girl stepped up and looked me and Jeff in the faces. "The last thing we need is more drama from you."

"What is up with you two?" Matt asked trying to calm the pair down.

"We're sick of this drama, okay?!" she yelled. I decided to defend them because no one else wanted to and I didn't know what "drama" Avril was eluding to. That name still sounded familiar to me, then it hit me...that was Morgan's kid. Well, Morgan's kid or not, I wasn't going to let her talk to Matt and Jeff in such disrespectful tones.

"You shouldn't talk to them like that," I said putting my hands on my hips. The other girl--who by assumption I guessed was Alexis--glared at me.

"Who the hell are you? And why in the actual hell do you think it's a good idea to tell me what to do?" she sneered at me. Anger started rising in me as she pulled me over to the side.

"My name is Vivian, and I think you should respect these two," I said pointing to Matt and Jeff, who was watching the exchange carefully. "They've been good to you."

"Okay, you don't fucking know us and what the hell we've been through, so back off!" Avril shouted in my face. Oh, it's on now!

"And who's going to make me? Surely not you," I smiled as I poked her nose. Alexis walked up to me and stood infront of Avril protectively.

"Hey, don't touch my sister!" she said holding Avril back. Aww how cute, guess you both need to be taught a lesson. I smiled before popping Alexis, and Matt and Jeff stood there in shock.

"What the hell?!" Avril shouted and I responded by punching her across the face, and suddenly she was sporting a nice bloody nose on her. She then tackled me on the ground and I tried to smack her off of me. This kept going until Jeff pulled her off of me and I got up and felt my face. I immediately felt blood on my lip. Great, that bitch busted my lip open.

I saw Morgan being held back by Matt, and I pailed, realizing what I just did. I came here trying to befriend Morgan and I don't know if I was going to befriend her now by hurting her daughters. She walked over to me and I gulped loudly.

"Don't you EVER touch my daughters AGAIN!" she said, followed by punching me across the face, so hard it knocked me out. I don't really remember much of what happened after that. The next thing I remembered was Matt checking on me to see if I was okay.

I nodded weakly. "I need to go to John's place..." I said, weakly. Jeff looked at me before holding me upright and helped me back to the car.

"Who's John?" Matt questioned.

"A good friend of mine, he used to be a nurse when he lived in Utah, but he moved down here to be closer to me. We're never ap..." I stopped as I felt faint.

"Can you tell us where he lives?" Matt said before placing me in the car. I handed him my phone with the directions on it before he and Jeff got in the front seats and we drove off. I sat in the backseat losing consciousness from the pounding in my head. I felt my eye swell shut and that's when I lost it.

*Vivian's dream*

I was on a mountain cliff and I felt like I was compelled to make a decision on what to do....

It was scary, one minute, I was in the back of Matt's car, and the next, I'm on this cliff....How did I get here, and how do I get back to John's place, where I would be safe?

*End of Vivian's dream*

I woke up as Matt honked the horn loudly telling me we were here. Jeff turned around and asked if I was sure I didn't just want to go back to my place.

I nodded weakly as Matt picked me up, and carried me to the house. John stepped out and looked at Matt.

"Who are you and what did you do to my--" I cut him off before he could finish the sentence.

"This is Matt, one of my trainers. I'll explain everything in the house, but you've got to get me in now..." I said as Matt handed me over to him.

"Thank you," he said, shutting the door in Matt's face with his foot and rushing me upstairs to the bathroom. He sat me down on the floor while he ran a bath for me.

"What happened baby?" he said placing me in the bathtub carefully with my clothes still on. I only had blood on my head, wasn't any need to take my clothes off.

"Matt hit me a little too hard and I guess it knocked me out," I lied. I couldn't tell him what was going on...not just yet.

"I'm sure it was just an accident, but if it turns out that it wasn't, it'll be the last thing he ever says," he said as I pulled him in the bathwater with all the strength I had and kissed him as water poured over us from the shower head.
