Falling For You

Chatper Two: All I Want For Christmas Is You Part One

I am in a bed. My head, my torso, and my wrist hurt like crazy.
"Is she awake yet?" I hear Calvin's voice ask.
"No. It is driving me crazy to because I need to talk to her. She has been out for a day and three hours." I hear Bailey say. I open my eye slightly and see Bailey, Zack, Calvin, Bethany, and Brad. I close my eye.
I slowly open them and then squint.
"Where am I and why the heck is it so bright?" I ask and everyone turns to the sound of my voice. They all look relieved and happy.
"If you don't turn the lights off above my head I will kill all of you will my bare hands." I threaten but I smile to let them know I that I am just kidding.
"Can I talk to Ray alone please?" Bailey asks looking at everyone. They nod and walk out but Brad stops as he walks out. He flicks a knob and the lights dimmed. As the door closes Bailey gets closer and lights my body on fire. She takes my hand and looks me in the eyes.
"I want to know where your bruise came from. You don't have to tell me right know but I want to know. You mean a lot to me and I don't want people to hurt you." She confesses but I am to focused on her hand in mine to hear her.
"No one is hurting me. I fell really hard. I promise." I lie to her crossing my fingers. She nods and doesn't look me in the eyes.
"A-are you off from w-work anytime-e s-soon?" Bailey asks nervously.
"Yeah. I work three days a week." I tell her. She smiles and I still fill obvious to what she is doing.
"Would you like to go to dinner with me when you check out?" Bailey asks bitting her lip in the cutest way.
"Yes but on on condition." I tell her.
"Yay!!! Oh...ummm...I mean cool. What is your condition?" She asks happily.
"That I pay." I state my ground. If she resist me paying I will be upset. I want to pay for her to eat. I like her.
"Deal." She says shaking my hand that she is holding. Her hand fits in it perfectly. She looks at my lips and then in my eyes. I want to tell her yes but a picture of Mavis comes to mind.
"Woah, what just happened to you? You were just happy and now you look like you just heard your mother died." Her words were meant to be comforting but my mom is dead so yeah. I can't help it. I pull Bailey into a weird but comforting hug.
"All man. I hurt your feelings. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to. It was me being so stupid. I am..." Bailey continues to ramble on about how sorry she is. I watch the way her lips move as she talks taking her all in. She stops and looks at me.
"Stop..." That is all she can get out before I slap her mouth taking her by surprise. She moves her mouth up and down like she is trying to say something but can't.
"Bailey, you need to stop. You need to shut up. I am okay." I laugh at her to prove my point. She slaps my arm and smiles. She lets go of my hand and walks to the door. She opens the door and everyone that Bailey sent outside came falling in.
"We weren't listening. I swear. We were just ummm passing by." Bethany says not very convincingly. I roll my eyes at her.
"It is fine. I need something to eat I am really hungry." I say trying to lighten the mood. Brad nods and leaves without asking what I want but ok. I look at Calvin who is restraining himself from something.
"Calvin why do you look like you are constipated?" I ask him. He looks up at me and he breaks. I feel his arms wrap around me and I smile as I hug him back.
"Can I have a hug?" I hear Bethany ask. Calvin lets go and lets Bethany hug me. I hug her tightly because she was the person that helps me through everything. I feel Bethany's lips against my neck. I tense up because it kind of feels good but it doesn't make me feel like the way I feel when Bailey just barely brushes my hand.
"Bethany, you need to get to work." The familiar voice of my father comes from the door. Bethany stands and leaves the room without a single se you later. I look at my father and see he has a letter in his hands.
"People that aren't related to me leave the room." My father commands. Zack and Bailey leave watching Zack and me. Our father shut the door and Mavis appeared.
"This is your mother's will. She told me to give it to you two weeks before your 19th birthday. Mavis is here to make sure that it is not pictured or copied in anyway." My father says handing me the will. I read it and smile as I do because momma left me everything except Calvin. She left Calvin to her dead mother that left him to me.
"So, what does big daddy get?" My father asks rubbing his hands together
"Momma left you the air you breathe." I say handing the will back to him. He reads it and gulps. I even own the hospital we are in right know.
"I can sue you for all the damage and suffering you have put my through. I can put you and your little people in prison for everything that you told them to do. They will confess as will you." I smile and I let my words bite like poison. A look of anger passes through my father's and Mavis's face as Calvin hands me my phone. I dial my lawyer and he picks up.
"Hello. You have Brad Harrison." And then it hits me, I know Brad.
"Hey. My father gave me a letter that turned out to be my late mother's will. Can you come by the hospital and check it out? I don't think I will be released anytime soon." I say to Brad.
"Sure I am already here. What room?" He says sarcastically.
"Room..." I start but look at my brother for help. He hold up a 3-2-9.
"Room 329." I say to him.
"Ok. Be there in a moment." Brad says. I hang up just as Brad walks in with a suit on? How the heck did he change that fast? He shakes my hand and my father's and Mavis's. Brad smiles at me and I roll my eyes as I hand him the will. He scans it and calls someone.
"Hello, I need to report a found will in the Lewis case. It says that Ray May Lewis owns everything that her mother had. Her father kept this from her............yes sir. Do I arrest the father and the partner in crime?............alright thank you sir. Bye sir." Brad talks to the mysterious man on the phone.
"You are both under arrest until proven innocent." Brad says noting for the police to come in. My father not Mavis put up a fight. Calvin stands quiet in his corner. Brad smiles at me.
"So you want to tell me what else Mavis and your father did to you?" He asks. I nod but Calvin steps in front of me. 
"Let me take your friends somewhere that they can't hear you." Calvin says. I nod and he walks out. Brad watches at the window as he leaves.
"They hurt me in anyway possible. Way they could find. They kicked me, beat me, r...." I brake and tears fall. They ruined my life since I was 10. I can't do anything with the fear of them coming up behind me and ripping me from what I love.
"Why haven't you told anyone about this?" Brad asks sitting on the bed beside me.
"I didn't want them to hurt my farther and besides that if they ever got out I would have to leave everything and everyone I love. I mean I got everything they did on tapes but I can't find the phone that I uploaded all the videos on." I begin to ramble and Brad slaps my arm telling me to shut up.
"I went to your house with Calvin and and found a random phone in the spare room. I didn't know the password so I broke into it. I found all the videos, notes, and threats. You have a very valid. I showed all the evidence to my boss and he made it a case. You can put both of them in jail for the rest of their life's. You just have to willing to tell Bailey. She has to know." Brad says looking at me. I nod but I know that I'm not ready to tell her yet. I don't know her that well but I want to.
"I will tell her in time Brad. I trust her but I just to burden her with that kind of stuff Brad. She might run from me. Then I would lose someone I care about again." I tell him. He just shakes his head at me.
"You don't get it do you? She won't run. She will empathize with you. She will care for you." Brad says throwing his hands in the air. I just stare at him and he just shakes his head at me. My phone goes off and I check it.
Bailey: Are we ok? I feel like we were hitting it off then you shut off and I feel like I did something wrong. I just want have fun with you. You seem like you use someone to cheer you up but I guess not. Sorry for being pushy. I will see you around. We can just forget about the date. Sorry.
I try not to cry but it just pours and pours and pours. Brad hugs me.
"L-look a-at the t-text s-she sent me." I tell him as my hands shake while tears fall. He reads it and puts my phone on the chair beside my bed.
"She is just really upset. She likes you." Brad said running his hands up and down my arms. I feel another presence enter the room and I see Bethany.
"Can I speak to Ray?" She asks as she looks down at the floor. Brad nods and looks at me with a weird look but leaves. Bethany sits in my lap and brings my bed up some.
"Kiss me please. I have wanted to kiss you since you started working under me and I can't take it any longer." She whispers in my ear that she nibbles on. She lefts her head up and slowly brings her lips to mine watching my eyes the whole time. I don't let her see anything because my walls are up again. I turn my face just as she kisses me. She pulls back in a hurry.
"Bethany please don't take this the wrong way but I don't want to date you. You are like a sister to me and i don't feel that way about you." I tell Bethany gently. She nods and leaves without responding. Bailey, Zack, Calvin, and Brad walk in after she is gone. I just shake my head and put it in my lap. What have I done? I feel arms ingulf me and I hug back taking in the sweet smell of vanilla and cinnamon.
"I am sorry but I can't be with you right know. I have some issues that need to be dealt with before I get a life." I tell Bailey. She nods slightly and I feel like a terrible person. I want her to be with me forever.
