You Knew (H.G., S.M.)

back

I'd gotten many calls from Shawn and everybody, Nash came up to my room, the guest bedroom, and checked on me. "He's a wreck you know." He'd tell me, every night. He'd send me videos of Shawn apologizing and covering songs that would make me run back to him. I didn't shed many tears, I was just mad, until today, Halloween night. I am going to make sure the girls have a good time, I grab Hayes' jacket and proceed to the door and meet Hayes in the hallway. Bare chest, only wearing a robe and a pair of sweats.

"Where are you going?" He asked politely. He moved closer to me.

"Oh I was gonna get the girls so they can go trick or treating in a while." I say and proceed to the stairs. He pulls me close, really close. He pins me against his bedroom door, and opens it slightly, causing me to stumble into his bedroom. I drop the jacket as he glides to the bed. He grabs my hands and pulls me close to his chest, he pressed his lips against mine. I look into his big blue eyes and it hits me, I remember the stairs, the bruises, the arguments, him cheating, going to jail, that one night when Shawn and I sang a duet, when I was in the hospital, when I met Juliet, it was back. And I was in the arms of Hayes, I close my eyes and reopen them, hoping I'm dreaming. Please let me be dreaming. Please. I open my eyes and there he is, in front of me, kissing my neck. I push him away quickly and grab a pillow, the only thing I can grab at the moment. He laughs.

"I knew it wouldn't be long, just long enough for Shawn to give up, For him to give up on you." He says tenderly. Tears stream down my cheeks, he's going to hurt me.

"How could you?" I hiss. I stare into his eyes and see that this is not the Hayes I knew before. This was worse than the Hayes I knew before prison, the innocent flower but be the serpent underneath. (My favorite quote from Macbeth)

Nash walks past the bedroom and sees that I'm afraid. He walks in and looks at me confused. I begin to hyperventilate and Nash realizes I'm back.

"You're back." He says stepping in front of me to protect me from Hayes.
