I can't breath.
I can feel the water entering my lungs and I can't even scream.
No please, not again.
I try to swim to the surface but a pair of hands are holding me down.
Maddox help me.
Why am I here? My vision is darkening. I can feel myself losing strength and feeling in my arms. I look up one more time to see the man who I loved. Justin stop please stop.
I jump up screaming and crying. I feel a pair of arms around me but I push them away.
"Shh it's just me. It's just me princess."
I relax at the sound of his voice. I look up still crying I can see the worry in his eyes.
"Baby, what happened?"
I shake my head. He was the one part of my life that didn't know about Justin. The one part I still loved.
"Please tell me."
He starts kissing my collar bone.
"It was just a dream. I promise." I say laying back down. I get as close to Maddox as possible. I start hearing Maddox humming while he stroked my hair. I feel my eyes get heavy and I drift into darkness.
The light feeds in through the window. I don't feel Maddox anymore. I sit up and see the bathroom door open. I quickly get up and I lean against the doorframe to see Maddox doing his hair in only a towel.
I swear he looks more like a god every day.
"Damn princess if you keep biting that lip your gonna draw blood" he said laughing
I could feel my cheeks turning bright red. I black hair falls in front of my face hiding my blush.
"Get ready we are heading out soon." He said
"Sooo where are you taking me on this date."
"Nice try princess go get dressed."
I sigh and go to the closet and pull on a black skirt, gray shirt, and my favorite tights. I also grab my jacket and beanie.The dogs are playing with each other in the living room and Maddox is in the kitchen drinking a bottle of water.
"Hey handsome ready to go."
"Yeah I'm ready."
I start heading toward the garage but I got pulled back.
"Ugh" I grunt as I land against Maddox's chest. I turn around and rap my arms around his neck. He kissed me softly.
"Are you sure you're ok." He whispers.
"I feel fine."
With that he relaxed. We went to the garage and he handed me my helmet. We drove around for what felt like hours until we pulled up in front of a restaurant. We walked in and found a seat.
"So this place is so nice." I say dazed by our surroundings.
"This is just the first half babe."
"Maddox did you just call me babe?" I say laughing.
"I wanted to try something new"
We order our food and I have never tasted food so good in my life. When we finish our meal we head to the movies and of course we have to watch a scary movie. I swear by the end of it I was practically in Maddox's lap.When we walk out the theater Maddox covers my eyes with his hands.
"What are you doing?"
"It's a surprise I'll tell you when we get there."
We continued to walk for awhile until we stopped and Maddox took his hands off my eyes. I looked up to see we were in front of an old abandoned warehouse.
"Umm babe why did you take me to a warehouse."
He grabbed my hand and we snuck in through the back. We made it to the roof and I couldn't believe my eyes. The stars were so bright from up here. We sat at the edge and just stared at the sky.
"Gen, you know you can tell me anything and I wouldn't judge you right" Maddox said kissing my hand.
"This is about my dream isn't it?"
He doesn't respond but I know it's the truth.
"If I tell you about my dream you need to tell me something to."
"Whatever you want to know."
"Ok well, before I met you I was in a relationship with this guy named Justin and I thought I loved him..." I feel tears starting to run down my cheeks and Maddox wiping them away.
"Princess if this too much for you, you don't have to do this."
"No you need to know. We dated for three years and he would get really mad and he would hit me from time to time." I feel Maddox get tense and put his hands in fists.
"One day we got in an argument by the pool... and he pushed me in and I couldn't breathe..." I grab onto Maddox not knowing if I can handle all the memories and not pass out.
"He was holding me down and I remember waking up in the hospital. I almost died and I didn't leave my room for months only to work. Then I met you. You made me less broken." I know I look like a mess my makeup is probably smeared and I can't stop crying.
"I'm so sorry princess I swear if I ever see him I'll kill him right there and then." Maddox says through clenched teeth. He kissed my forehead and I looked into his blue eyes and I felt safe. But I still had one thing stuck in my mind.
"Why do they call you Roadkill?" I feel his arms unwrap from around me. He gets up and walks to the other side of the roof. I follow him and I can see the anger in his eyes.
"Maddox, you told me you had to earn your nickname. You said you had to do something extreme to get a nickname."
"He hurt him"
"What?"
"He hurt my brother. He was supposed to be our father but he never cared." His eyes aren't the crystal blue I'm used to they are dark grey.
"My brother was never the strong one but he was the nicest person I ever met. He had straight As throughout school. My dad got mad and started hitting me one day, but I didn't care though I could take it. It went on for a couple years after my mom died. Then one day he started hitting my brother. He would cry himself to sleep. One day he hit him so hard he broke his nose. He couldn't handle it anymore. I was the one to find him in his room. My brother killed him self because of our father. So a couple days later when we were driving back from the funeral I pulled off on the side on some dirt road in the middle of nowhere. He deserved it. He deserved everything last bit of what happened." I step away I have never seen Maddox like this all the anger and hatred.
"Oh my god Maddox what did you do." I whisper
"I grabbed my bat from the trunk and I just kept hitting him. I couldn't stop there was blood everywhere and even after he stopped moving I couldn't stop. It was his fault Tommy was gone. I knew I killed him that he was dead but I still grabbed his gun and... I shot him. Four time. When I snapped out of it I called Mitch and he helped me get rid of the body. I hate myself for it, but not for killing him I hate myself for letting myself go that far." He looks at me as tears fall down my face. He goes to grab my hand but I pull away.
"Your scared of me. That's why I couldn't tell you. I can't lose you. You make me a better person. I changed sense then. Please Genevieve trust me." He says with a pleading look. I don't know what to do. I just hug him and cry...He was only sixteen he didn't know. He had just lost his little brother.I don't know what I would do if I lost Sarah. For the first time I noticed we are both broken, we are both the only thing holding each other together.
