WE STAND OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT as Keira tries to remember where she parked her car. "Mm, babe, hurry up and find your car. My side's starting to hurt."

She clicks her car alarm button and the black car parked on the east end of the lot starts beeping. "Found it," she whispers.

We walk over to the car. Climbing into the passenger's seat, Keira loads the luggage into the trunk and then climbs into the driver's seat. As soon as she shuts her door, she turns to me. "Baby, again, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday."

"Babe, it's fine," I answer.

She leans over the center console and pecks me on my lips. When we pull into her street, she pulls in a driveway a few driveway's up from mine. "What are you doing? This isn't my house."

"I know. But when we pull in your driveway, I'm going to get you out of the car, because one of the big presents from me is on the back porch of your house, so I'm going to surprise you."

"Oh, okay."

That's when something catches her eye. I follow her gaze and ask, "What?"

"Fuck, I did not realize this was my dad's house. If Milo catches me, he's going to kill me."

Quickly, she reverses out of the driveway and is about to put it in drive, when someone yanks her door open and jerks her from the driver's seat. "Kiresten, where the hell do you think you're going? What are you doing here anyway? Come to visit your bed buddy?"

She shakes her head. "You little fucking bitch!" I watch as Milo smacks her head against the window and causes it to shatter.

"Now why did you come here?"

"I was telling my boyfriend something."

"Shut the fuck up, little bitch!" He smacks her head against the hood of the car. "You're such a damn liar!" he hisses, before punching her side mirror in and causing it to shatter into a million pieces.

I watch as he takes the biggest shattered piece and jabs it into her side. I watch as he takes another rather big piece and jabs it into her arm as she screeches out in pain. With that, he releases his grip on her which causes her to fall to the ground and he storms back inside. Quickly, I jump out of the car and limp over to her. "Call 911," she whispers.

I sit outside the X-ray room. Keira is in there with Dr. Zipper and Dr. Crow and they're doing X-rays on her arm and side.

That's when someone sits down next to me. "Dude, she's going to be okay," he reassures. "And Milo's been put into custody."

That's when Dr. Zipper steps out. "Alright, sir, what relationship do you share with Keira?"

"I'm her fiancé," I answer.

"Okay. Well, we're done doing the X-rays on her. I'll have Nurse Baker wheel her back to the room and we should have her X-ray results in about an hour or so."

"Okay. Thank you, doctor."

He left and within a couple minutes, a nurse comes out with Keira in her wheel chair. I follow them back to her room. As we're walking back to her room, Nurse Baker glances at me. "So how old are you? I'm 23."

"Well, I'm way too young for you. I'm only 18. Besides, I'm already engaged," I answer sternly.

"She wouldn't mind sharing you, would she?"
