Meeting Macey

The balst of the past

I stutter softly into Ian's arms as he led me towards the elevator with Candice pacing behind us in her steep stilettos.

She instinctively presses the button as we wait I begin shivering wildly as Ian rubs my arms. The door flies open and we cut the large dining hall. I peacefully doze off and of course the elevator door chimes loudly an wales me.

"Tttt..Thanks C..Candice." I murmur under my breath softly. She smiles bending down to my height from her mountainous shoes. "It's fine and I'll check up on you tomorrow morning and Ian will take good care of you." She smiles waving goodbye and walks back towards the elevator.

"Here let's get you rugged up." He whispers as he unlocks the suite with the key card and rushes to the linen cupboard. I shuffle over to the couch in front of the fireplace and he switches the automated machine on and places a soft brown blanket around me.

I lie down with my head resting on his legs as he plays with my hair and whispers sweet things. "You're beautiful don't letNina or any one say otherwise." I smile snuggling into the blanket further.

"So I spoke to the assistant at the front desk at the hospital on my way back to your room and she said that your leg brace can come off in two days and your scratch should be healed as well."

I chuckle. "Mind if we go to another hospital this time?" He smiles widely and nods. "Of course. Besides we better pack because of Hawaii as well."
I sit up smiling back, admiring his compassion towards me. Towards everything. "Ian?" I ask in almost a rhetorical sense. "Yes Macey?" He says maintaining eye contact with me as I look into his topaz eyes.

"Good or bad news?" I say nervously.

"The bad. Then the good. Because I want to sleep soundly tonight." I smile softly and turn my body towards him, leaning my right shoulder against the arm of the couch. "I think you should know about my past with..with him."

"You don't need to. You don't even need to say his name." He takes my hand and kisses it softly.

"I should. It began when he came to the farm. He was my first love he was working with my dad to earn extra credit in his medicinal field by working with agriculture. Every month my parents would always take four days away from the farm to attend the local markets to purchase items. That was when he eventually took advantage of my love for him and he forced me into things. He'd hit me, burn me with anything he could find, throw things a me and would..rape me."

"After the fifth month of this continuous cycle of pain I told my parents who believed him over me until I proved it to them. I told them to pretend to go away but remain in the shack 2 kilometres away with a camera on charge. That was the day they witness the brutality their little princess was given. They drove back and my dad got into a fight with..him. He left before he could be filed with a police record to another country, a new name and title. That's how I found him."

I looks up from playing with the fringe of the pillow between Ian and I. He had years brimming on edge of his eyes. He place his hands on my forehead and looked directly at me.

"Macey I will never do anything to you. I promise my life that I will never hurt you. I will never cause pain to you. I will protect you with my heart and soul. And I swear on my life that I will be with no other than you." I stare into his eyes and remain silent for the precious moment. "Ian..do you want to know the good news?"


"Of course."

A lump in my throat becomes noticeable. I begin to sweat on m forehead. I take a feel breath in and exhale quickly.




"I am in love with you Ian Somerhalder."
