Jackson

"Jackson Anthony Reynolds what the hell happened to your face?!? Didn't I tell your ass NOT to fight him! What were you thinking?"

"Babe I-"

"Don't. I told you not to fight him and you did anyway. But I know that you only did it to protect me so I'm not that mad at you but that doesn't mean I'm not upset about it. I just don't like the fact that you went down to his level to prove a point."

"I know and I'm sorry for not listening to you but he deserved it"

"Alright but don't do it again or I won't be as nice." I nodded my head in agreement, not wanting to say anything to piss her off any more.

"Your hand is bleeding."

"I'm fine, just need some ice."

"No let me see it." She took my hand and touched the swollen area. I wasn't feeling the pain because of the adrenaline rush I was having but once she tried to relax my fist it started to hurt like a bitch.

"Shit." 

"Sorry, you need more than just ice babe. I think you broke a bone. How hard did you hit him?"

"Not how hard, how much."

"Jackson."

"He deserved it."

"I don't care if he deserved it you are going to the doctor before that gets any worse."

"But babe."

"I'm not arguing with you about this and I'm done talking about it."

"Fine." I followed her to her car, the entire car ride she said nothing to me and I knew that it was going to be difficult to get back on her good side. While waiting I tried to think about what Travis meant by I'd regret kicking his ass. I knew I did a lot of fucked up shit in my past but Savannah knew about most of it and didn't judge me on the stupid decisions I had made.

We made it to the hospital where they were able to check out my hand, I did in fact break a few bones in my fingers and needed to have surgery to fix it. Even then Savannah barely said anything and only spoke when the doctor was directing a question to her. After scheduling my surgery we went home and I still got nothing out of Savannah.

"I know you're mad but is the silent treatment necessary?" She glared at me as I took a seat next to her on the couch.

"I don't want Travis to hurt you and it would kill me if something happened to you because of me." She said honestly, moving closer to me on the couch.

"I'm not going to let anything happen because Travis knows that I'm not one to be fucked with. Especially when it comes to the people I love."

"Fine." I was curious about what Travis had said earlier and wanted to get her side of things to fully understand what happened.

"Did he ever tell you he had friends?"

"Honestly whenever I'd ask he said that he didn't like telling his friends his business. Why?"

"I've been thinking about the time you guys were together and he never mentioned or brought you around because he already had a girlfriend." Of course we knew Travis wasn't faithful but unlike all his other extra girlfriends he never once said anything specifically about Savannah. But I never really paid him much attention because I had been dealing with issues with my own girlfriend, who didn't like to let my past mistakes go and throw them in my face during every argument we had until our relationship ended tragically.

"What?"

"They were a fucked up couple to begin with and were only with each other to be together. She actually wanted me and kept doing things to try and make me leave my girlfriend at the time for her who was actually her best friend. I cheated before and regretted it but I'd never sleep with her because I had enough respect for Travis not to sleep with his girlfriend despite knowing that he'd been cheating on her. "

"That was probably the woman I saw him with and confronted him about, so I wouldn't put that past him but I knew something was up when we barely went out and he'd act weird if I asked him about his friends. If I'd known that then I would've left his ass before things got as bad as they did. I feel so stupid now."

"I wasn't sure if you knew but I asked him about it. She knew about you and tried to use his cheating as a way to get me to be sympathetic to her. It went down hill from there all though I wasn't surprised when he said your mother was crazy."

"Yeah, after I told my parents everything he came to the hospital and tried to be nice and apologize. My mom saw right through the bullshit and ripped him a new one."

"He actually tried to apologize?"

"Yep as an attempt to connivence me not to press charges. I realize now how dumb I was to let him draw a wedge between me and my family especially knowing he'd been lying to me throughout our relationship."

"It's not your fault, you thought you loved him but now you have me to show you what love really is. I'm sorry for not listening to you but you have to know that I'd do anything to protect you and our daughter."

"I know and I appreciate you for that."

"So does that mean I get to sleep in our bed tonight?"

"I guess but you're still not getting any."

"But babe, make up sex is the best sex."

"To bad you'll never know, I'm going to bed and don't try any funny business either."

"Alright fine you win." I sighed walking behind her, I knew she was teasing me the entire time we got ready for bed because she kept finding reasons to touch or bump into me when she had enough room on her side of the bed. I was a goner when I walked into our room and saw her on the bed in the lingerie that I'd bought her looking sexy as ever.

"What?"

"What?"

"You don't play fair Savannah."

"I have no idea what you're talking about Jackson." She said winking at me getting comfortable on her side. I got in after her and was about to fall asleep when she put her ass close to my aching member.
"Fuck it." We both found out that make up sex really is the best sex you can ever have. 

The next morning I woke up with a message from Travis,

You may think you have my girl but I'm only letting you borrow her. You know when I want something I get it, and I am going to get Savannah back whether you like it or not. She's mine and will always be mine. Let her go or I will let her in on some of your dark secrets. You think she's going to stay with a man that cheated on his depressed girlfriend and caused her to commit suicide? You know what you have to do and you have until tomorrow to do it or I will take matters in my own hands Jack.

             You don't have shit on me Travis and you need to leave Savannah alone or your ass will be back in jail with a fucked up face and a limp. You know me and you know I do anything for the people I love.
