Meygan's Point Of View

I woke up it was dark and cold and damp. I didn't know where I was until a man walked in chucking. He looked familiar, his tall slim figure and the scar across his left cheek.

He squatted down to my face level and gave a smile after blowing the smoke from his cigar in my face "Well aren't you a pretty petunia. Guess Travis thought he'd be able to hide you from me?" I looked at him "I don't know who you're talking about. I don't know a Travis." It was the same lie I told anyone who claimed I was Travis' girl that I had never met before .

He laughed then took another puff of his cigar "try again sweetheart. I have evidence. I know your Travis' girl and I know about that mini monster you're growing in your stomach." I held my stomach "Don't hurt us....please..." He chuckled "oh honey I don't want to hurt you. I will have to though if Travis doesn't show up soon." My heart was racing and my palms were sweaty, I needed Travis to get here soon if I didn't want to die. "Look... can we just talk about why you need Travis...does he owe you money? I can pay it for him just please don't hurt him..." I felt my voice cracking and I was trying not to cry but it was hard, damn it me and this crying, ever since Travis came into my life that's all I did. The man laughed "I don't want his filthy money, I want him dead. He took from me things he shouldn't have took and I want them-" his speech was cut short by the sound of a thousand bullets shooting into him all at once from every angle around him. Then the familiar sound of chains came near and I saw my knight in shining leather standing in front of me machine gun in hand and cigarette in mouth.

He kicked the man's limp body out of the way and walked over to me picking me up "Are you and the little peanut okay?" I nodded "We don't even know if there's anything in there, just because we fucke-" Travis' stern voice cut me off "I want to believe there is a child in there, if you don't I'll just have to fuck you everyday until you do because were having a fuckin' baby and you're going to be my woman and we'll all live a happy life."

I smiled, and for once it was a true smile, not just me faking one. There was something about what he told me that just washed away all the pain and sadness, I knew he truly loved me.

Travis walked out of the warehouse with me, his arms gripped me tight as he took me to his car.

He sat me in and buckled me in. When he shut the door I heard gunshots. So many gunshots. As I watched my boyfriend's body jerk after almost every bullet but a few hit him.

His body laid limp on the ground as I called the ambulance then jumped out and ran to him.

Travis' body was shaking, I rolled him over on to my lap to see the damage. He was covered in blood. And the flood gates had broken "Travis oh god no. Not now. The ambulance is on its way. Just stay with me please." His hand held on to mine and brought mine to his lips to kiss it "God I'm so Happy I have you...You're going to be a great mother Meg. And I'm going to be a shitty father but it's okay because you'll help me. And we're going to have a pretty house with a white picket fence and dogs and we'll grow old together..." I let out a laugh as my tears fell "we can have it all Trav as long as you stay with me" Travis tried to smile "I wanna meet your family...and you meet all of mine. We should all get together and-" Travis was interrupted by sirens as they came to grab him. The ambulance took him only for the cops to show up too.

They walked over to me asking me questions. I answered them and they offered me a ride but I declined. I was taking Travis' baby home where she belonged.

I drove her to the apartment complex and parked her next to my car. I got out and went upstairs to our room and one whiff of his body spray hit me and I broke down. The tears wouldn't stop and I didn't want them too. I held my stomach and for the first time in a long time I prayed. I prayed my heart and soul out that he would be okay. That he would make it out alive, that our little peanut inside me would grow. It would grow nice and strong and make his or her daddy proud.

The next time I opened my eyes there was sun in my face and so many missed calls from Jade. My brain and body hurt. Mostly my back though and I walked into the bathroom. My face was a wreck, as was my body. All the bruises Travis put on my body was there but I didn't care. My face was horrible I was starting to break out and I had terrible bags. The make up on my face that I slept in was going to ruin my face and not to mention the dark racoon eyes I had. Truth was, I was scared. Too scared to worry about my outfit. I was worried about my boyfriend who was in the hospital probably on his death bed. He'd never want me out without looking my best if I wasn't with him. If he was here I could leave like this but without him I had to look good. Especially since I was going to see him but I just. Didn't have the energy to look good.

I walked into the hospital with my shades on as I walked to the receptionist my hands shook "I'm here to see Travis Rockwell" She looked at me with fury in her eyes and recited the room number "408." I walked to the elevators and went up, I wondered who the woman was. The fury filled woman and why she hated me so much. The elevator stopped on the fourth floor and I ran to his room, only to find the room filled and the door shut. I couldn't get in because of all the doctors, I looked through the window to see them trying to revive my boyfriend's limp body.

I backed away from the window in pain in pure pain and terror wanting to scream and cry all at the same time.  All I could do was sit on the ground. Nurses ran over "ma'am ma'am are you alright?" They're voices sounded as if I was underwater, I was slowly sinking further down as Travis body jerked from every bolt of energy that was charged into him. Tears rolled down my face and I pulled my shades off to reveal my racoon eyes that just kept getting worse. They offered my tissues but I rejected them. They offered to take me to the waiting room or anywhere to get my brain off him but I rejected it all. I wasn't leaving from this spot. My eyes were locked in him and my brain was too, I was staying right there in that spot.

About 30 minutes later the doctors walked out. Travis' body was plugged  up to wires and IVs and everything else they could put on him. 12 bullets were found throughout his body and they had successfully found and removed all of them. Now we just had to wait for him to wake up. By we I meant me and my peanut. If there was even someone inside me. Just wait for Travis to wake up I kept repeating it to myself. When we wakes up everything will be okay.

"Miss. Griffin." I turned around to see a doctor standing there. I looked at him "Yes sir?" He sighed "He won't be waking up tonight. But if he does we'll call you. But for now go home and get some rest."  I nodded "Thank you sir." I walked out the hospital in pain.
