Bi-stressed

CHAPTER 31

A man punches Zac in the face, making his nose bleed. He then lifts him up and slams him on the utility pole.

Screaming his name, I rush towards him. He's lying in pool of blood when I reach down.

"I told you not to get in the fight." I sob, taking his hand in mine.

"Get Zac and Louis up!" Aunt Steph yells making me steer clear my thoughts.

I rush towards Zac, taking hold of his hand and dragging him up as Halsey does the same with her husband.

"Your wife is pregnant! Don't give her any sort of tension please. Get inside the house now! You're more bothered about the fight than her." Halsey's mom scolds her son in law.

"Zac I've seen fights through out my life. Not anymore please." I beg him

"I'm not fighting baby."

"You will! I know you very well by now."

"Trust me. I was just seeing what was it about."

"The innocent will always end up being the bad guy."

We head inside the house and throw ourselves on the couch.

"My feet throb!" I complain.

Zac lifts my feet off the ground and into his lap. He massages my feet with his warm hands and I feel so relaxed.

Not even 5 minutes pass by and Aunt Steph yells from the balcony that there's another fight going on.

Ugh bad choice to say it aloud.

At that instant, Zac's up to his feet, looking at my piteous face he throws himself back down on the couch.

"I promise to never get into fights from now. You've had a tough life before and I won't let you go through hell again."

Fights give me anxiety.

Sometimes I love to watch them but it reminds me of my past which grows my anxiety and heartache.

...

When I awake, it's 9. I find myself lying on the couch and Zac's missing. He must have left early morning when it became bright. I have no idea when I fell off to sleep. I never thought I would wake up this early after a tough and long night. My head aches a bit and after breakfast I take a painkiller.

The day elapses pretty fast and Zac comes over in the evening.

"Are you still drunk?" I tease him.

"I don't get drunk." He defends himself.

"Oh who you're kidding right now?  I could clearly make out you were drunk yesterday, the way you were thrusting your leg between mine in and out." I smirk at him.

"That doesn't mean I was drunk." He pouts, frowning a bit.

"You could clearly make out."

He pulls me towards him and his tongue slips inside my mouth, gentle yet demanding. I bite his upper lip and he does the same to my bottom one. Our tongues are twirling, crazy in love and I don't care. I don't care if anyone walks in the room to find us lost, so lost in each other...

"What was the fight about anyway?" Aunt Steph asks as we all are gathered in the sitting room.

"Two guys were fighting over a girl."

"It's the girls fault!" Halsey interrupts.

"Certainly. She was with one guy before then with the other." I admit.

"The second fight was about outsiders getting in without tickets and flirting around with our girls."

"They shouldn't have parties like that when they know fights take place every year." Aunt Steph complains.

Which reminds me of last year's fight in which Zac hammered a guy. At that time we weren't dating but it was right after that bonfire that we got close and eventually started liking each other.

I'm glad he didn't get into a fight this year which proves he cares about me and doesn't want me to experience these hand to hand fights again.

I wonder how Luna's been doing the past two days. I hope she isn't crying still. I wish I could make her happy instead of breaking her repeatedly.

I unlock my phone and decide to send her a text..
