Adam's P. O. V
I watch the officer talking to Taya and know they must be talking about me because she looks my way locking eyes with me. I'm not sure what the conversation is about but the look tells me everything I need to know. She is heartbroken, scared, angry, feeling alone and deep down I can see that she needs me. I'm here Taya.. I'm not going anywhere. I think to myself and hope that some how she can feel it... Wow.. Its at this point that an overwhelming need to protect her washes over me and I'm hit with a sobering truth.. This thing that has been going on with me started out as a game for me and my ever growing ego but just like that it changes.. Now it's all too real. I want nothing more then to keep her safe and eventually make her happy again if she will let me. After about ten minutes another car pulls in and Taya is taken in to talk to the man who has just arrived. I see the officer that had been with her talking to another and I take it upon myself to ask him..
" Excuse me Sir.. Who is that with Taya? "
" Its our sketch artist.. Miss Jennings may have had an altercation with the suspect earlier this evening.. We just need a description and I would suggest that you take her home with you for the night Sir. And your name is?" He asks.
" Um Adam sir.. my name is Adam. " I tell him reaching out to shake his hand.
" You know it's remarkable how much you remind me of that guy from that show The Voice.. You know.. Adam Levine. " He laughs and I bit the inside of my jaw.
" If I may ask Sir could you maybe keep my name out of the report.. It would cause more harm then good for Taya.. She does not need the spot light on such a horrible time in her life." I ask hoping he would see my point.
" Holy Hell.. You are him. " His mouth drops and he nods in agreement to my request.
" Thank you Sir."
I sit in the chair outside and wait for Taya to finish with the police sketch artist and as she does the officer walks her back out to me. I stand up as they walk over to me.. I can tell that this whole thing is just too much for her. Her face is pale and her breathing is shallow.
" Taya come and have a seat please. " I say and I expect her to tell me to fuck off but I'm surprised when she walks straight into my arms. I wrap her in them and pull her in close. She is shivering and it's not cold out.. My poor Taya.. I sit back in the chair and lead her down on my lap.. She's letting me hold her.. I can't take my eyes off of her and as I reach to move a lock of hair from her face the EMTs roll out a bed with her mother's body zipped up in a black body bag. I watch her cringe as they go by and I pull her in closer.
" I'm so sorry Taya.. Please let me take you home with me. I need to know you're safe. I won't sleep unless I know you are under the same roof.. I won't make you feel like a prisoner. I won't even sleep in the same bed. This isn't about the promise I made to make you mine.. Although I meant what I said about that.. It's about your safety right now. Please Taya.. " I almost beg.
" Fine.. Adam.. This is in no way me giving in to the clam you have laid on me.. I'm just too tired to argue with you and I need.. A place to rest.. A safe place and I'm not sure why but I know with you I will be.. I need.. Sleep. " She agrees and I let out the breath I had been holding.
As long as she is under my roof I can rest easy knowing that I can keep her safe. I know she is messed up from all of this and I plan to give her some space for now but at the same time I in no way plan to give up on proving to her that she is now mine. Its mind blowing to know that Taya is the only girl other then Behati that I have felt so possessive of.. Like if I can't have her I won't be complete. Fuck.. I don't like this part of myself.. It is raw.. almost animalistic. I sometimes scare myself with it and I'm sure Taya must feel the same but I can't seem to stop it once it starts. It only builds until it consumes me. I was so broken when Behati left me and that was the main cause of the shit that happened at that New York night club. The reason I'm here.. The reason I found Taya. Maybe what I thought was my greatest heartbreak is really the path to my real purpose.. Taya
