Jack Daniel's And Roses

Meygan's P.O.V.

It was 12am. Me and Jhanene were wiping down tables when Dave came out his office and laid our paychecks on the table, his face was bruising, probably from Travis slamming it against the wall. Dave didn't look at me or give any comments about me as he handed it to me. After he went into his office Jhanene was looking at me "What happened to sexually frustrated Dave that usually harasses you?"

I laughed and smiled "He met Travis, and apparently they already had problems so when Travis figured out he was my boss.....let's just say I had to make Travis stop before he did anything stupid."

Jhanene laughed "What did I tell you, he ain't gunna be bothering you anymore." I smiled "Yeah hopefully, now I'll talk later, I gotta walk to the repair shop to check on my car. I'm supposed to be able to take it home tonight." Jhanene looked at me "Meygan its late, I don't mind driving you over there." I rolled my eyes and smiled at her "You know Marcus would flip if he knew you were on that side of town at this time of night, I can walk over there by myself I'm a big girl." Jhanene sighed "Call me when you get there and if you don't call within the next 30 minutes I'm coming to look for you."

I smiled at her and hugged her "I'll be fine." I put on my jacket and grabbed my check and put it in my purse and walked down the street.

As I walked down the street I could hear footsteps and felt as if someone was following me, I turned around and saw nothing. I knew something wasn't right. I sped up my pace and the footsteps did too. I started running in a full sprint and ran straight into some guy.

The guy hiccupped and was obviously drunk "Hey baby, wanna come back to my place and have some fun?"

I rolled my eyes "no thanks now let me go."

He hiccupped "Now, now, now. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Another guy walked up behind me and sniffed my hair "Oh she's a pretty one.....and she smells nice. Can I have her?" He hiccupped in my ear.

I was squirming and reach for my purse to grab my pepper spray when I heard a familiar engine roll up next to us.

Travis' blacked out Hellcat sat there facing the guys, he didn't get out but revved the engine once more trying to warn them. I gave up fighting and let out my best acting skills and started crying "Don't hurt me please, I don't have any money."

The guy was still staring at my body lustfully "I don't want money."

Travis got out the car, his eyes covered by his shades but I could see the anger in his face as he calmly said three words "Let Her Go."

The guy was scowling at Travis "Go get your own she's mine buddy."

I was seriously starting to cry. I was scared to see what Travis would do to him "Oh I don't have to, because she is mine." Travis punch came out of nowhere and the guys grip dropped as his friend shot off in the other direction while Travis beat the guy till his face was unrecognizable.

I stood there frozen. Travis pulled me in his arms, I instantly started crying "I'm sorry, I needed to come get my car and I didn't want to make Jhanene come in the opposite direction of where her house was." Travis didn't say anything, he just sat me in the car and drove me home.

When we got home Travis finally spoke "I'll go get your car in the morning but first. Are you that fucking stupid to think you were gunna be able to walk through the West side of town and not be raped, that's where all the addicts and shit are and you were gunna actually go over there! God be smart Meygan!"

My eyes were watering and I couldn't hold it in "I'd probably fit right in right Travis? you said that's where all the drug addicts live."

Travis sighs "Babe you know I didn't...." I didn't stay in the living room to finish listening to him. I went in the shower and got in and somehow slowly started to fall asleep in there.

I woke up in the middle of the night on Travis, my body was wet but I'm pretty sure Travis didn't care, after all he's the only who put me there.

I sat up and got out of bed and put on some clothes. I didn't want to be naked around him right now, even though he wasn't intoxicated I just didn't feel safe.

I popped a Xanax and went in the kitchen and drank some water and sighed and looked around. Me and Travis had a beautiful home with a spare bedroom but,  no kid to put in there. Which was likley since we weren't married or engaged to be married, we had one pregnancy scare but finally my cycle came,  a week off schedule. 

"Meg?  What are you doing down here it's late. Come back to bed. "

I looked over to see Travis standing next to me. My hands were on my stomach and I didn't realize it.

Travis looked skeptical "are you pregnant? "

I shook my head "no. What would we look like raising kids anyway?  An alcoholic and a stupid drug addict."

Travis sighed "I didn't mean that the way it came out earlier Meg. About the whole stupid druggies thing."

I looked down trying not to cry "It hurts to hear you say that Travis!  The last person that called me that doesn't ever want to see me again!  Imagine what he would think if he knew I was dating a underground fighter with alcohol issues!"

I tried to closed my mouth but it all spilled out. I braced myself for the hit to come at any moment but nothing did. He just kinda looked at me. "It's good to know your family would disapprove of me. I'm happy you said something...."

Travis walked to the door and put on some shoes before leaving in nothing but his Joggers.
