Meygan's P.O.V

I woke up. My body was hurting... I couldn't move. My head was spinning and I heard footsteps

I backed into the corner. Travis came down, he looked in pain "Why did you let me drink so much.... oh god I hurt you." I wasn't looking at him, I couldn't look at him. It pained me to do this. "Meg...... please talk to me... I just want you to look at me please." His voice was cracking. If I looked at him I knew I'd break "Travis just get away." He touches my arm "Meygan please." I wrenched away "I Said Get Away!" I finished it off with a cry "I can't even move right now that's how sore my body is. I'm pretty sure I have a broken rib from how bad this pain is and you're not worried, the baby wasn't even developed yet but if it was going to it never will now! And all you have to say is sorry! My body, and brain will never ever be the same....you've abused me before but this, I don't think you've ever done anything this bad."

Travis was quiet for awhile then tried to hold it in but he was breaking, I could see it in his face "I'm turning into him...." I sighed "Trav..." He shook his head "No don't Trav me. I'm turning into him....Meg you can't move...and its because of me....you're traumatized because of me....what's next me slamming your head into the wall or throwing sharp objects at you? I don't want to know which will happen."

I was fading in and out "Travis I need to go to The hospital..." He lifted me up and took me upstairs.

When I woke up I heard yelling with some Spanish mixed in and I knew it was Jade. I'm sure she as yelling at Travis and I knew he was probably pissed

I still couldn't move. All I could do was listen to them. "What if she would have died!? Or did that not matter to you!? She has done so much for you and this is how you treat her!? You're so pathetic. There's nothing else to say about it. You're just pathetic. She's my best friend and you broke her. If she didn't love you I'd take her away and get you locked up!"

The fire in Jade's voice was menacing, and I didn't think Travis was going to respond. "You know...I didn't mean to do it right...I would never hurt her intentionally." Jade laughed "it seemed like you did it intentionally! If you hit her whether you were drunk or not you did it!" Travis' voice was cracking and I knew he was probably going to cry "Jade... I love her. You know I do...I fucked up but I want to make it up to her and you won't even let me upstairs to see her or to even apologize!" Jade sighed "I'm tired of seeing her hurt because of you. Do you know how many times I have had to wipe her tears because of you? All you do is hurt her and I don't want to see it again. So no you wont be going to see her you'll be staying down here."

I managed to get to the door of my room even though I could barley feel my legs or even manage to move them. I needed them to stop fighting before one started throwing hands and I'm sure it would be Jade. I made it to the stairs. I could see them now Jade's face matched her voice, angry. And Travis looked broken, he turned to see me and looked even more broken. "Meg. You're up... here let me help you down."

Travis came closer to the steps ignoring Jade's yells to stop. He walked up there to where I was and I closed my eyes. Only I didn't feel anything touching me. I opened my eyes to see Travis standing in front of me. His hands wouldn't touch me but his eyes said it all. He was about to break into tears "I'm so sorry Meg. You know I would never ever hurt you, so when I did I told myself I'd stop. I haven't been drinking I need to take you to the hospital but you know how the cops are they'll come in and see your bruises and jail me for abuse..Meg I don't wanna leave you here alone. So Jade is going to take you to the hospital but if someone ask what happened to you what are you going to tell them?" I looked down my side still hurt a bit "I fell down the stairs because I'm such a clutz."

Travis rubbed my cheek. It still hurt itself but his touch made it feel somewhat better. "I'll be at the warehouse while you're at the doctor so if they come to find me I won't be home. After you're finished go to Jade's house and I'll come get you." I nodded "Travis I'm sorry for yelling at you..." As my voice trailed off he shook his head " I deserved it...just to make sure our little one is okay."

His hand layed on my stomach and it made me feel all warm and tingly and I managed a smile. Travis' face lit up and he smiled at me. Jade's face was a state of shock "wait hold up excuse me you're pregnant?!" I looked at her "I'm not sure but, yeah I hope so." Her face was worse than before "let's just go. I need to get you to the hospital." I slowly made my way down stairs and Jade took my hand and took me to her car.

We made it to the hospital and as I was getting checked out Jade just kept glaring at my belly. I hated that she hated my child, but she was my best friend. The doctor left and I looked at Jade "Listen I know your upset..." Jade laughed "I'm more than upset Meygan I love you because you're my best friend but really you got pregnant by him, I mean you guys aren't married yet or anything not even engaged and I mean out of all people an alcoholic street fighter who also is a gang leader Meygan how do you expect to raise a child with him? Just please explain that to me so maybe I can understand." Her way of explaining Travis made him seem worse than he was. "Jade he may be all those things but he loves me. He said he was going to change, he was going to stop drinking, he wanted to be a good father for me and the baby." Jade sighed "whatever Meg let's just drop it and get this over with." I looked down.

The doctor came in and checked on me as he came.past each bruise he looked questionable "I'm sorry Miss. Griffin you said you fell down the stairs but this isn't what this looked like.. now I known that most women in abusive relationships don't want to tell what really happened but whoever did this to you needs to be stopped. If you don't want to tell me who the police will have to get involved." I sighed "I am not being abused." The doctor looked skeptical he then sighed "well you're free to go then."

Me and Jade left. We went to her house and went inside. It was nice and homey forgetting how it felt to be here. I sat on the couch and layed there soon falling asleep. I was awoken by the sound of stuff breaking I heard yelling coming from Jade's room as I went to run in there someone grabbed me from behind with a tissue over my mouth and I inhaled the deadly chemical and I was out like a light.
