Accidents II

Chapter 10

Damon's POV

"Emma thought I was you," Austin laughs telling me, "I kept the mask on while I boned her so she never knew it was actually me—"

Xavier throws up all over in the lake that's by Emma's house from all the liquor we had tonight.

"Suck it up buttercup," Joe mocks in a girl voice.

"Give me that," Xavier pulls the liquor bottle out of Joe's hand.

"Pussy," Joe calls Xavier.

Xavier chugs most of the bottle and throws it in the lake.

"Did you and Mia...yunno," Austin smirks.

I scoff. They actually think I'll share any detail with them.

"Oh yeah—heard everything," Xavier wipes his mouth.

"We were asked to scare them, not get fucking laid," Joe says in annoyance.

"Your just mad cause you never got laid," Austin replies.

"Dude shut the fuck up. You had to wear a mask to get laid that's how ugly you are," Joe points all of his fingers towards Austin.

Austin grabs Joes neck and holds him in a lock. Joe grunts and tries to hit him back but fails. They look like fucking idiots.

Xavier walks away from us and towards the house making my eyes follow where he's heading.

"Where the hell are you going?" Austin shouts.

"I'm getting Maddie," He continues to walk towards the house. "Like I should've done earlier,"

The last thing I need is him near Mia.

"You're not going in there," I power walk towards him.

He turns around to face me, "Your little bitch is probably putting assumptions through Maddie's head by now,"

"I said you're not going in there. We're leaving."

"Yunno what?" He points his finger at me and nods a couple of times, "Mia should really mind her own damn business...or else,"

"Or else what? Huh?" I walk closer to him.

"That's for you to find out," he smirks.

"You better fucking stay away from her," My voice slow and low as I clench my jaw.

"That's only if she stays away from Maddie so whatever happens to her...is her fault,"

I cant help but want to drown him in that lake. In his own puke.

"Now it's your turn to mind your own business," he mostly slurs and pushes me back.

My nostrils flare and my breathing increases. I run up to him and push him down as I hover over him while I hold his collar down.

Xavier punches my face making my lip bleed. But as I reach out to touch my lip and look at the blood on my finger, he escapes from me trying to run towards the house.

I grab onto his leg making him fall and hit his chin on the grass. I turn him over to face me and punch his jaw repeatedly.

Austin and Joe try to pull me off of him but I jerk myself away. I pull out my gun putting it towards the side of Xaviers face, thinking of pulling the trigger right here right now. I cant have him step foot near Mia, especially like this.

"Woah woah woah," Joe quickly backs up from me and so does Austin.

"What the fuck man? Put that shit away," Austin says in shock as he looks around panicking.

"No one has to get hurt Damon," Joe tells me.

"You're not stepping in that house," I say pressing the gun harder onto his face making him grunt in pain. "Got it?" I raise my voice at him.

"I got it," he says through his clenched teeth.

"If I ever see you near Mia, I won't hesitate to fucking shoot you," I promisingly say, taking the gun off of his face leaving a mark.

Xavier quickly gets up and spits out a ball of saliva mixed with blood to the ground as he walks away from us, "Find your own way back," he says getting into his car and hastily driving off.

I turn around finding Joe and Austin eyes wide open as they stare at my gun that's hanging in my hand. Joe gulps and Austin backs away a little when I raise the gun up. But only to take out the bullets.

"You had that this whole time?" Austin asks.

I nod.

"Your licensed right?" Joe asks.

"Sure,"

"The fuck does that mean?" Austin raises his voice.

"I know how to fucking use it, that's all you need to know," I put the gun back into my pocket.

Mia's POV

"Here," I hand Maddie a glass of water and sit beside her. When my eyes glance to her back I find bruises all over it.

Goosebumps rise from my arms and my expression looks flustered but she moves away from me a little uncomfortably.

"D-did he do that you?" I ask terrified to even think about it.

She doesn't say a word but drinks out of the cup while tears rummage around her eyes. Now I feel horrible bringing it up.

"He—Xavier...he um," Maddie starts to cry with tears trembling down her eyes, "he would...hit me if i said no," she chokes on her sob.

I take the water out of her hand and grab her, pulling her into a hug.

I actually feel so bad for her. This is all so wrong, and i was so close to disliking her but knowing what shes going through makes me realize how judgmental I've been.

"You swear you won't tell anyone?" She says letting go of our hug.

"I swear,"

She sniffles, "I'm pregnant—"

I'm completely shocked.

"Did you tell him yet?"

"That's the thing..." she looks away, "it's not Xavier's,"

I don't know why but I'm glad it isn't his.

"I've been seeing someone else recently—he doesn't go to NYU but he does go to Brown. Mia he's just so different from most of the guys I've encountered with that I actually want to start something with him," she exhales, "but it's Xavier..I don't know what to tell him?"

"Xavier doesn't deserve to hear anything from you. He doesn't have any claim on you, so why even talk to him? it's disgusting how he treats you and you deserve way better than that,"

She scoffs "Only if he understood that,"

"All I'm saying is that you need to stay away from Xavier. He won't be good for neither you or the baby...unless you decide to keep the baby," my heart races for some reason. Hearing the word baby and just bringing it up is kind of painful for me.

"I have university to finish and a career on the line. I just don't think I'm ready to be a mom yet," she wipes under her eyes, "Ugh, but there's this constant knocking at my chest telling me the opposite. Telling me to keep the darn thing," she chuckles a little.

I try to smile, "that's up to you. This decision is for you to make, there's no judgment here," I grab her hand and squeeze it.

She half smiles, "c-can you..um come to the clinic with me tomorrow?"

I think for awhile because i feel like something is stuck in my throat. Why does this bother me so much?

"Of course," I say. She needs me.
