The Bad And The Broken #Wattys2018

Part 3

He's looking at me with his blue eyes. They're beautiful. How come I didn't notice how beautiful he was. He is wearing a leather jacket and a tight shirt so you can see all of his muscles.
"You like what you see princess", he says looking very amused. Shit I was staring.
"What can I get for you?", I said trying to avoid eye contact.
"Just a beer. You can also get me the number of the beautiful bartender." I turn around and place the beer in front of him.
"One beer" I say and go back to work.
Later that night
I grab my stuff and start walking out the door. I say goodbye to the girls and Tony as the cold air hits me.
"Hey Princess how's it going?" I turn to see the handsome man smoking a cigarette against the wall.
"Why do you call me that? You literally met me earlier today and you are now stalking me." I came off more angry than I thought, but I can't help it.
"1.I call you princess because you never gave me your name. 2. I'm not stalking you, I didn't even know you worked here." He says. I don't think he meant to yell the last part, but he did.
"Listen you're a pretty girl but you're not that special." He says through clenched teeth.
"you're useless, you're not special." Justin is yelling at the top of his lungs. I try to calm him down but he hits me.
The flashback hits me like a ton of bricks. I feel myself losing breath. The man looks at me worriedly. Not again. He is saying something but all I can hear is my heart pounding. I start feeling dizzy. I try to grab the wall but everything is spinning. I feel all my body go limp and
everything goes black.
Maddox POV
I grab her as she starts to fall.
   "Hey come on princess. You have to open your eyes for me. Come on beautiful."
She is so pale, but she looks just as beautiful. I can't just leave her here. I pick her up bridal style and place her in my car. Holy shit Maddox you're a fucking kidnapper.
I start driving towards my house. I can't help but look at her. She is so beautiful.
Her breathing is back to normal by the time I get home. I pick her up and take her inside. Right away Ryder starts trying to jump on me.
"Ryder down, we can play in a second buddy." I take her to my room and lay her on my bed. I close the door and head back to the living room. Ryder is sitting on the couch with his favorite toy. Besides my best friend Mitch he is all I have. I got him two years ago. The thing is I've been by myself sense I was 15. I can take care of myself. I always have, but it's good to have him here. So what if I'm viewed as a bad person. It's not like people would say that to my face. I'm kinda known to get fights. So people don't mess with me. Not to people's surprise I've been arrested a couple times. No one controls me but then there is her. I bend at her will. I got so mad when she said that I was stalking her. I didn't mean to scare her. I told her she wasn't special. God what was I thinking. I'm probably over thinking this. I lay on my couch staring at the fan. I need to sleep but knowing that she is here isn't going to let that happen. I want to protect her I need to protect her. I just don't know why?
