Desperate Hearts. (A Steven Tyler fanfiction)

Chapter 25: How?

When Steven and I got home, we instantly went into the living room and grabbed the phone.

I sat on the couch, with my knees to my chest, and tried to calm my breathing.

Steven dialed the police.

"Hello, I'd like to report a suspicious person. My girlfriend is really terrified. She has had a prior issue with an individual named John who has just recently been arrested."

Steven paused as the person on the other line spoke.

"My girlfriend's name is Raquelle Marley Santiago."

I couldn't even cringe at the use of my real name. I was so terrified.

Steven's face paled suddenly, and my breathing hitched at the sight of it.

"Okay..thank you." Steven replied, hanging up the phone.

I took a deep breath. "What?"

Steven met my eyes nervously.

He sat down close to me on the couch, gripping my hand.

"John is out on bail."

My mouth dropped, words unable to form. I felt the tears falling down my face.

Steven caressed my hair as he pulled me into his chest.

I took some breaths, trying to calm down.

"What the fuck? How did he get out?! This can't be happening..I'm not safe anywhere." I almost yelled.

Steven sighed. "This isn't gonna happen again. I won't let it. I'm gonna protect you. I will even stop the drugs and drinking so I can be there for you completely."

I smiled a little at the sweet words.

"You would really do that for me?" I asked him.

He smiled. "Yes. I love you."

I kissed his cheek. "I love you too."

I sighed heavily, still thinking about the huge problem at the moment.

"What are we gonna do?" I asked Steven.

"We're gonna fight this. And we're gonna win. The band and I have your back."

I felt tears well up again. "I don't even wanna leave this house. I'm scared."

Steven smirked through his concern. "That's what the band is for. Protection and errands. I'll call them in tomorrow morning."

I chuckled lightly, cuddling my face into his neck.

"You're the best, you know that?"

Steven gave me his heart fluttering smile.

"I've known it. But YOU bring out the absolute best in me."

I kissed him passionately, unbuttoning his shirt. I slipped it off, caressing his flawless upper body.

Steven yanked off my shirt, tossing it to the floor.

I smiled through our kisses. I deserved some pleasure through the panic.
