My Promise, My Love (Book 3)

Take care

*HUGE thanks to caseyboo2 or magcon4ever7 (same person lol) helping me with this chapter! Make sure to check out her book!

*Hayes POV*
"Ok, so explain to me what happened?" I said. I was able to coax Bree into coming home with me so we could talk. She made me promise to let her go when she's ready. I "agreed" to it.

"He has been following me around. Like I told you, he raped me, and abused me. It lasted for a while but one night, when I was twelve, he was so mad, so drunk. He hit me with his bottle and it cracked and cut me. Then he beat me. Left me bruised for months. I was on the verge of death. He tossed me out on the streets. I had to crawl for my life. I was able to find a doctor to fix me up and I left. I took a bus to here and hid. I have been in and out of work ever since. The coffee shop is my last place. I've been found by you. I can't stay here anymore."

"But, he found you?"

"Yes, for a while now. He's been supplying me with one hundred dollars a month in return for my silence. Today turned him crazy, I haven't seen him like this in a while." She looked down at her ribs. I noticed a little bit of blood coming through her clothes. I got up off the counter and grabbed her a towel and ice.

"Here." I said handing it to her. She nodded and I turned back to get some food out. P

"Hayes." She said. I turned to her.

"Thanks for saving me."

"Always."

*Will's POV*
I threw the picture against the wall. The one that Taylor and I were sitting on the beach smiling at each other. Wonder if her and Sam had any pictures like that. I hated that name. I heard a knock on the door and I opened it. It was Sam's ex. Cameron was it? No that's Dallas. Carina?

"Hi sorry. I was wondering if I could crash here? I don't have anywhere else to live thanks to Sam and it's really cold." She said hugging herself.

"Of course come in. What's your name again?"

"Camila. Camila Cabello."

*Bree's POV*
I sat on the table with the ice pressed into my side while Hayes heated up some soup. Hayes had given me an old white shirt of his because of the blood coming through. I hated the color. It was too happy.

"Hayes, do you live here by yourself?" I asked.

"Yeah. My brother used to live here. But he left to live with Cameron Dallas. So I'm here by myself."

"It must get lonely."

"You ask me." He looked at me and I blushed.

"Can I ask you something?" He said. I nodded.

"Do you hate Taylor?" I looked down.

"Yes." I whispered.

"Why?"

"Why wouldn't I be? I have every right too."

"You're right. I'd be seriously pissed off at Nash, Sky, and Will if they did that to me."

"That's the thing. It's not a 'whoops I left you at the mall' it's not something I can forgive. I don't care how bad of a sister that makes me."

"What about us? Do you hate us?" I thought about it.

"I have no reason to hate you because I never knew you. But I can easily hate you if you take me to Taylor."

"I'm not going to do that. You can go whenever you want or not at all." I looked at his back.
