The Troublemaking Intruder

The Break Up Blues

*6 weeks later*

Miranda's pov

Kim and I go out to a bar and get so drunk I don't know what happened then I wake up beside some guy. "Uh..... What happened last night?" I mumble, sitting up and trying to ignore the throbbing pain in my head. The guy sets down his phone. Then I recognize him. Dallas Davidson, songwriter of legendary Luke Bryan.

In this version, Jason never became friends with Luke. Instead he went the wild side and became best friends with Brantley and he and Luke never met.

My mind tries to wrap it around. He smiles. "It's okay, hun just rest your head." He says. I lay back down, shocked that this happened. "Just uh just curious, where's Kim?" He laughs. "Downstairs. Your friend got so wasted I didn't want her driving home." I smile. "Thanks Dallas." "No problem. I'm gonna head down to the studio with Luke to work on songs. You wanna come with?" "Sure, I'll get rid of this hangover by moving around." I say, getting up. "Man, you've got one hot body." He says, making me smile and blush.

*later*

I was sipping coffee slowly, the headache dulled out to almost gone. I meet Luke and shake his hand. "I really love your song rain is a good thing cause I grew up on a farm." I say, smiling. He smiles that million dollar smile. "Why thank ya." He says. Dallas takes me out to a bar.

Jason's pov

Yeah like I knew it hit me hard with her being gone. I miss her so much! I can't believe what I said to her. It wasn't true. I was just mad and drunk. Spring break up by Luke Bryan plays on the radio, making me think of this situation. I lay my head on the bar on my third beer and trying hard not to cry. "Oh jeez Dallas take that off your head!" My head snaps up, hearing her voice. She's on some guy's lap. She called him Dallas and they're laughing and joking. So she's already found a new lover. God this is impossible to watch. I pay my tab and shakily stand up.

"Hey." I turn around and nearly fall in surprise. "H-Hey Jason." I gasp, surprised to see him. Not surprised he's drunk. "How are the girls?" I ask, standing up. "They miss you.... I.... Miss you." He looks away. "I miss you so much. I'm sorry hun. I'd take it all back if I could." I sigh and stand up. "Um Dallas I'm gonna drive him home. I'll be back in a few minutes." Dallas quickly grabs my arm. "But wait.... Isn't this the jackass who slapped you in the face?" I sigh and nod. "It'll be okay." I hold onto Jason's arm and get him into my truck. "Come on baby give me another chance! I'll change I promise! I'll never hit you and I'll never hurt you!" He begs. I shake my head. "No Jason, what you did is something I'm afraid of, deathly afraid of and what you said to me... You don't know how bad that hurt." "Please... It wasn't true! I was just drunk and pissed! I didn't mean it!" We get to his house. "You need to get over me Jason. I'm not coming back I'm sorry." "A man can change! Baby please give me a chance! Please!" "Jason, get out of my truck." He stays quiet, staring at me. "I just..... I'm so sorry I slapped you in the face. The day a man puts his hands on a woman is the day they ain't a man anymore. I deeply regret hitting you. That's the one thing I told myself I'd never do. I'm growin' up to be just like my father." What does he mean by that? "Jason, was your dad abusive?" I ask, surprised. He sighs and nods. "My old man would slap my mama silly. And she always told me that he ain't a real man to be doin' what he was doin'. She always said, 'Jason, don't you do what your daddy does. It ain't right.' I never knew what she meant until now. God baby even if you don't take me back I want you to know from the bottom of my heart and my mama's I'm sorry." Wow. "I forgive you Jason. Can you walk enough to get inside?" He nods and opens the door. "I hope Dallas treats ya right hun." I smile. "He will Jason. And if he doesn't I can always call a certain cowboy to kick his butt." He smiles. "You know I will, sweetheart, I'll lay him flat." I smile. "I know you will, Jason."

Jason's pov

I get back inside and the girls are sleeping with Justin beside them. He smiles and stands up. "You okay?" "Not really I ran into you know who." His eyes go wide. "Uh oh what happened?" "She.... She's got a boyfriend." I gasp, completely breaking down. He pats my back and we walk to the kitchen. "I begged her Justin, I begged her to take me back! But... She doesn't want me anymore." "You have to show her Jason. Show her she's a girl worth fighting for." "I can't. I promised I'd leave her and Dallas alone." "You know that won't happen right?" He says. I clench my fists, imagining those two in bed together, her moaning his name and not mine. "She doesn't belong with him she belongs with you." Justin says. My hands are shaking by now from rage, regret, sadness and so many other emotions I don't know the names of. I scream in anger and flip the table. Justin stands up caught off guard. "Please just stop. I need... To be alone." I say, stomping upstairs and slamming my fist against the wall. I sit down on the floor of our.... I mean my bedroom and sob into my knees. Pretty soon without meaning to I fall asleep.

*in his dream*

I hear laughter. I follow it confused and walk down the hall of my house. Instantly it changes to someone else's house! The laughter ceases and I open the door I heard it from. Clothes strewn about, a blanket halfway off the bed and my darling girl making out buck naked with that Dallas guy! I fall back into the wall, horrified. "B-Baby please don't do this to me!" I cry, trying not to freak out completely as he gets on top of her! I shut my eyes tight and slam my head back. "Wake up dammit! Wake up!" I scream and when I open my eyes I'm back in my room, the room dark and tears streaming down my face. I stand up, determined. I have to get my girlfriend back.
