To love and to be afraid

Kevin's pov•••

I grabbed my jacket and headed out my apartment to my car and sat down until Stacey sends me her address. Hearing her voice on the phone made my mood instantly change. I honestly think it has something to do with work, considering that it's a Monday and it's early in the morning she should of been working. Stacey finally sent me her address and I took off. I ran a couple of red lights not giving a care in the world. It took me a few minutes to get to her apartment which to my surprise wasn't far as I thought it would be. I made it to her floor and knocked on her door immediately getting pulled inside by Stacey's little hands.

"What's wrong Stacey" I wanted to smile at how cute her little face was even when she was panicking while she quickly closed the door. She kept mumbling to herself but I noticed that she was limping. I can't see her like this, that's when I decided to walk up to her and hold her in place looking deep in her eyes causing her to stiffen up.

"Stacey please tell me what happened " I said in desperation I want to get to the bottom of this so I can see her pretty smile back again. She signed then was about to walk away but looked down and my arms that were still holding her in place.

"Oh my bad" I didn't realize how strong I was holding her till I let go of her. She limped to the couch.

"Ok I'll tell you just wait till I finish speaking then you can ask me as many questions that you have for me.ok?" I nodded whipping a tear that escaped from her eyes off of her face.

"Ok so today my boss he didn't want me to come to work instead he wanted me to-"

"Did he hurt you!" My bad The words just bursted out my mouth. She looked at me on the verge of tears and my reaction was to instantly pull her into a hug.

"I'm sorry Stacey please don't cry, I won't ask any questions till your done." Still holding on to her rocking her back and forth she then continued to speak.

My blood was past boiled. My head was in so much pain just thinking of how I wanted to hurt this Devin dude so much. Dude has some serious issues if you ask me. I looked down at Stacey who was sleeping peaceful against my chest. After crying her eyes out.Even though I wanted to do something I couldn't. One little slip up and he can have my ass sent back to jail and I'm not trying to go back but him hurting this precious human being that I am truly blessed to be in my presence right now is not ok, I have to think of something. My thoughts were caught off when I felt the floor vibrate from Stacey's phone. I looked at the screen and it said Daniel.

"Hello?" I answered her phone.

"Ummm may I please talk to Stacey " I heard the person say. I kind of wanted to mess with this dude so I quietly chuckled worried that Stacey might wake up.

"May I please ask who you are to this Stacey?" I asked as curiosity took over me.

"Your answer would be the name on the screen of her phone right now" he said kind of harsh.ouch.

"Oh,ok.smart boy" I congratulated him.

"man can I please talk to Stacey it's important" I could sense the annoyance in his voice making me grin but then I got serious.

"How important?"

"Very" I creased my eyebrows together.

"What is it about?"

"That's Stacey's business" he snapped.
