Slow Down (Escape the Fate FanFic)

16. Drama. Drama. Drama.

Kareena's POV:

Max and I made small talk on our way to my old apartment. Once we pulled up I noticed Danny's motorcycle was parked out front. I took that into account as Max and I climbed the stairs. I was surprised to find the door wide open. I walked in calling for Carry.

"Carry?" I called again. Max walked closely behind me.

I walked around the corner and found Carry balled up on the bed.

"Oh, you actually showed up." She smiled, wiping tears from her face but cringing once her hand made contact with her black eye.

"Of course I did." I smiled warmly at her before helping her up.

"Well thanks." She smiled before giving me a gentle hug. I'm sure if she tried to hug any tighter she would be in excruciating pain. Her arms were covered in bruises.

"I saw Danny's bike outside. Where is he?" I asked glancing around us, Max did the same.

"Bathroom. Just don't talk to him and help me tidy up." She said kneeling down and began to pick up pieces of a shattered lamp. I sighed as I felt tears threaten my eyes.

This could have easily been me.

It was almost as if Max heard my thoughts when he wrapped an arm around my waste and kissed my temple.

"You're safe now." He whispered in my ear, loud enough for only me to hear. I nodded my head and pecked his cheek. I knelt down next to Carry and picked up glass shards with her. I then heard a door slam open and stomping coming towards us. I tensed, and i could tell Carry did too.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Danny asked glaring at me. I dumped the shards I had been collecting into the trashbag and stood up.

"Came to help Carry out." I said looking at him. He wasn't drunk or high, just angry.

"Well she doesn't need it. Get out." He spat before glaring over at Max, "and take the fagot with you." He added.

"Woah, don't talk about my boyfriend like that!" I said looking angrily up at him. I barely registered that I called Max my boyfriend.

"Well look at him!" He shouted pointing at Max, who had appeared next to me. Magic. "You can just tell he's fucked up!" He added, looking Max up and down.

"The only one in this room that's fucked up is you!" I screamed, shoving him. "You think it makes you a man to beat up your girlfriend? Huh? You think it's cool to tear other's down just to build yourself up? You are a good for nothing asswipe who deserves a slow painful death!" I screamed shoving him again. Max was eerily silent. The rage coming off of Danny was unbelievable. The next thing I know I'm soaring backward onto the bed, only to have my ribs crash into the bed post.

"The fuck!" I heard Max yell, then I hear punches being thrown. I try to get up and see what's happening but every time I move an unbearable amount of pain shoots through my ribs. I gave up trying to move and just listened. When I heard something glass shatter I jumped up ignoring the screaming pain in my side and limped to the room where the crash came from. I screamed seeing Max sitting where the glass coffee table once was with blood dripping down his face. Carry was hanging off of Danny's arm, begging him to calm down. He shook her off and stomped out of the house. Carry stood and for a moment I thought she would come help me with Max but instead she ran out the door after Danny. I shook my head and knelt next to Max. I checked his pulse, it was slow but definitely still there. I reached into his pocket and grabbed his phone. I dialed 911. Within minutes they were storming into the apartment and carrying Max out. I tried to ride with him but they wouldn't let me, not family. So I hopped in Max's car and followed the ambulance. Once in the hospital i paced in the waiting room.

What do I do?

I grabbed Max's phone again and dialed Legend. She said she'd be here as soon as the photo shoot was over. I sighed and paced some more. I cringed and called Sam.

"Hello?" She asked

"Sam, it's Kareena. Don't hang up, Max is in the hospital." I rushed

"What happened?" She asked, sounding bored.

"He got into a fight." I said

"Well I'll be there." She said before hanging up.

Bitch didn't even ask what hospital. She's so not coming.

I paced some more. Who else can I call?

I can't call the ETF boys. They don't associate with him anymore. I decided to call Shawn.

"What's up fucker?" He answered

"Shawn, it's Kareena." I answered

"Oh, sorry. Though you were Max. Where is he?" He asked

"Hospital. He's unconscious. He got into a. Fight with my ex an-"

"Breathe. What hospital? I'm on my way." He said. I gave him the hospital and he said he'd be here soon.

I sighed and sat down in one of the uncomfortable chairs and tried to relax.

I failed miserably.
