Kaylee

I looked at him and tears threatened to fall. I have never felt so many emotions until I met him, and I can't honestly decide if that's a bad thing.

Like I said before, he's all I can think about and I want us to work, but if he wants to protect me from the truth he still needs to tell me something about him.

I want to be included, so I'll know what's happening if he gets hurt.

I heard footsteps and looked behind me looking back at the girls. Their facial expressions softened when they noticed the door was open.

"Who was at the door Kay?"

I fully opened the door so they could see how he looked. They gasped at the sight of him which didn't make me feel any better.

He had scratches over his left eye and arms. His shirt was ripped and his pants had a hole in the middle of them, and I could see a bloody gash peeking through the small rip on his ankle.

"H- How did this happen?" I asked softly still trying to wrap my head around this

He chuckled softly but answered.

"Bumpy road." It sounded more like a question than a statement

He looked at me and before I could stop myself, I pulled him into me and hugged him tightly letting my tears fall.

"Baby girl, please don't cry. I'm ok, now that I'm with you." He said stroking my back

I continued to cry not caring what anyone said, all that mattered to me was that my baby is okay and safe with me.

I moved my head from the crook of his neck and took his hand in mine walking him to the couch.

"What happened baby boy?" I said looking at his busted lip

"Car accident. When I was reversing out the driveway to find you, some fucker hit me from the side before I could react. I'm fine though, just a few scratches." He ended with a cough

His expression softened and he hugged me once more.

"Let's get you cleaned up." I said kissing his lips softly

He tried standing up but almost fell, so I immediately balanced him sitting him down on the couch.

"Maya get me the first aid and peroxide. Max get me some wet towels."

They nodded and went into different directions getting what I needed.

"Thank you baby girl." He said adoringly looking at me

"No problem, but we still need to talk after this. Ok?" I responded

He sighed but nodded

The girls came back with my requests and I went to work on his bruised skin.

"Why did you freak out?" I asked after I got done bandaging his gash

"I don't know." He replied once again looking away from me
