The Bad Couple ✔ [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23: Kept

Blake's P.O.V

I stared at the white floor as the smell of antibacterial filled my senses.

"Family of Hailey Jones?"

I jumped up to my feet and stared at the doctor expectantly.

"I'm her boyfriend." I hated myself for not giving her the title of being my girlfriend.

"Oh okay. The diagnosis showed that your girlfriend has been under a lot of stress and has been having heart palpitations which is a bad sign but it's usually harmful. She will just have to stay here for a few days for us to check if she has a serious heart condition." I nodded at the doctor while gripping my hair.

"Alright. Thank you doctor."

"Miss. Jones will be admitted to room B23." I nodded my head at him and made my way there.

...

"Hailey?" I sat down in the chair beside her bed as I brushed her hair out of her face.

Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at me then frowned.

"Blake?"

"Yes its me Hailey." I smiled at her and held her hand.

"No... You can't be here. Go away Blake." She snatched her hand away from me.

"Why can't I be here?"

"Because your father doesn't want us together. So go away." She turned her body away from me and I just stood there staring at her.

I nodded to myself and slowly walked to the door.

"I love you Hailey." I whispered before I left the room.

Once I closed the door, I heard her crying inside and called a doctor to calm her down.

"Is she okay?" I looked up and saw Hailey and I's gang around me.

I nodded my head and walked away.

...

I sat down in my torn down room and thought about what dad said to me.

-Flashback-

"I know what you want to do to that girl and I will not allow it." He glared at me.

"I love her. I want to be in a relationship with her whether you would agree or not."

"How fucking cute. If I find out that she's together with you, she will die."

"You're dismissed." He waved a hand at me and wore his reading glasses.

-End of flashback-

I knew he would kill her and I didn't want to take any chances because I know him and he would do it in a heartbeat because he is a man of his word.

I picked up a glass lamp and threw it at the wall.

All because of dad I lost Hailey.

I looked down at my bloody hands and ran my finger across each bloody knuckle.

"Fucking bitch."

Hailey's P.O.V

I already knew from the start that this was Mr. Miller's plan and yet I still got drawn in by Blake.

It wasn't Blake's fault that this happened and I knew it was for my best because I know that Mr. Miller is a man of his word and wouldn't hesitate to kill me if he wanted to.

"Are you alright?" Cleo asked as she gave me a hug.

"Mmhm. I'm alright." I smiled a small smile at her then looked behind them.

"Hey." Brad greeted and I acknowledged him.

"What are all of you doing here?" I asked the boys and they smiled sadly.

"We just wanted to check up on Blake's favourite girl." My heart dropped when I heard that but I kept a small smile on my face.

"Thank you guys for coming."

"No problem." Alex smiled back.

The doctor walked in this second and glanced at everyone.

"I'm sorry guys, you all would have to leave for now. The patient would need her rest." The doctor announced apologetically.

"We'll see you tomorrow Hailey." Brittney said and walked out not before flashing a grateful smile to the doctor.

The doctor walked out and left me to rest, so I did.

...

I woke up to someone carrassing my hair while holding my hand.

"Blake?" I mumbled as I slowly opened my eyes and was met with his blue eyes.

"Hailey..." He mumbled.

"What are you doing here?" I asked quietly.

"I want to ask you something." His face was so serious then he took a deep breath.

"I know I've put you through a lot of emotional stress lately and I'm so sorry for that Hailey but can you please forgive me because I want to do something for you." He looked at me with hopeful eyes and I nodded my head slightly.

"I forgive you."

"Thank you." He smiled at me and I half-heartedly smiled back.

Now, here's the surprise I have for you." He took out a ring and knelt on the floor.

"Oh my gosh..." I whispered.

"Don't worry, I'm not proposing but this is a promise ring." He said a bit nervously.

"But aren't promise rings only for couples? Wait... Blake are you-"

"Hailey Marie Jones, would you do me the honour of being my girlfriend and make me the happiest man on earth?" He asked with hopeful eyes and I melted but I caught myself and looked at him with sadness.

"But... But what about your dad?"

"I went back home and thought about it. He wasn't worthy enough for me to stop chasing you and I will protect you with all that I have. I'm not letting him get between what we have built between us." He smiled at me and I cried happy tears.

"I fucking love you Hailey." He wrapped his arms tightly around me.

"I love you too Blake." I sniffed and snuggled more into his chest."

"Yes." I mumbled.

"Yes?"

"Yes. I'll be your girlfriend." He looked down at me and pulled me into a deep passionate kiss.

"Thank you Blake. For not giving up on me."

"Anything for you Princess."

I can't say how much I've missed that pet name.

...

"Do you want anything to eat Princess?" I nodded my head eagerly.

"Chocolate chip pancakes please."

"But it's 8 P.M." Blake chuckled.

"Please? I want some." I smiled sweetly at him and he nodded.

"Fine. I'll be right back."

I nodded and he grabbed his things but before he headed out I stopped him.

"I love you." I kissed his cheek.

"I love you too baby girl." I smiled at him and gave me a last hug before going out.
