Complicated Love

Ch. 7: Derek?

I stared in shock at who it was. I never thought he would be here. How did he get out of jail?

"Derek."

I watched as he pulled Mason off of me. He literally threw Mason into the wall.

"Maybe now you'll listen to me. I told you he wanted you to be his and not mine. All he wanted to do was get in your pants." Derek said.

All I could do was stare in shock. I glanced behind him and saw Mason getting up and grabbing the empty beer bottle by bed. I watched as he inched toward Derek with a little limp in his walk. The words finally managed to escape from my mouth.

"Derek look out."

He turned around just as Mason was bringing the beer bottle close to his head. Derek grabbed his hand and twisted it. Mason shouted in pain.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" He screamed.

I watched. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Two police officers appeared at the door. They grabbed Derek and he got out of their grip. He ran over to me and attempted to give me a passionate kiss. The kiss was interrupted by the police officers pulling Derek off of me. I watched as they took him out. Once they got downstairs I heard yelling and shouting and things falling. I felt a lonely tear roll down my cheek. I looked out the window and watched as they put him into the car.

They pulled out the driveway and left me here with a hurt Mason.

I ran downstairs to call an ambulance. I pressed the buttons. 9-1-1 I dialed.

"9-1-1 whats your emergency?"

"I need an ambulance, NOW!!"

"What's your address?"

"218 Openwood Plantation."

"An ambulance is on the way." She said.

The phone hung up and I went upstairs to check on Mason. I saw red stains on the floor. Then the broken beer bottle. I saw him holding the back of his head and a bloody hand. I got scared. I rushed over to him and grabbed a tshirt and put it behind his head were it was bleeding. The sirens weren't far away. I could see them coming down the street. They pulled into the driveway and rushed in.

They came up the stairs and came in to get Mason.

I moved out the way and let them take him.

"Would you like to ride?" One of the paramedics asked me.

I shook my head no and they left. I went to wash my hands and clean the stains out the carpet. I got the stains out the carpet, sort of.

I cleaned the house and then drove to the hospital. I arrived at the hospital. I went to the front desk.

"Hi what room is Mason Jobe in?" I asked.

"He's in surgery you can't go in there yet. Just sit there and we will let you know when you can go see him." I nodded and went to sit in an empty chair.

A few minutes later Masons mom, dad, 3 sisters, and his 2 older brothers came in. They took a seat around me.

"What did you do to Mason?" His mom yelled at me.

"I didn't do anything to him." I said back to her.

"Then why is he in the hospital, he was with you.  You are the only reason he is in the hospital." she yelled.

"No I'm not, just because he is in the hospital doesn't mean I had anything to do with it." I said.

"You bitch, if my son dies it your fault." She said slapping me.

"If it wasn't for me your son would be dead." I said holding my cheek.

I stood up, gathered my things, and left.
