Thank you for saving me

Chapter 1: a fool in love

My head turns. I lift my head off the pillow. I rub my eyes lean over and put my contacts in. I blink them in and look at the time 10:30. Today is the second to last of summer and I couldn't wait for winter. That is so I could go to my boyfriends games. My phone buzzed. Alex texted me.
Alex- hey babe
Me-hayy
Alex-there's this big party tonight at one of my friends house do you wanna come?
Me-yah. I'll meet you there
Alex- Ight. Party's at 84 dent street. round 6.
Me-kk am I meeting you there or...
Wait actually pick me up.
Me-why do you need a ride?!
Alex- Im not supposed to drive this week. Or even go out. Oh well
Me- lol okay I'll see you later. I love you.
Alex-I love you too.
I liked that he snuck out. It made him a bad boy. And bad boys are hot.
"Maddie dad made pancakes and he wants u to come down." Cilla, (my little sister she's 11) came in my room.
"Cil, I told you. Now that I'm sixteen you have to knock before coming in my room. Okay?" I said as I got out of my bed and put on my slippers. She has to learn to knock considering the fact that she has a habit of waking in on me kissing my boyfriend.
"What ever." She said with a smile. I gave her a tight squeeze and kissed her head the same way mom used to do for me every morning but never got to do for her. Well at least I don't think she remembers. She passed away in a car accident when Cilla was three.
"C'mon let's go eat." We walked down stairs and into the kitchen.
I sat down and texted Riley. I told her about the party. I couldn't wait to see Alex. I haven't seen him in like 5 million days. His family went on a small vacation. Dad broke me from my daze.
"All you do is play on that phone." He said as he places a big plate of chocolate pancakes in front of me.
"Nah." I said with a smile. He laughed and we ate.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I tanned all day. Until 4. Then I took a shower and blew out my hair. I
Was debating on what to wear. I wound up wearing a white loose crop spaghetti strap tank and low rise dark jean shorts. At 5:55 I ran down the stairs, grabbed my key and told dad id be home around 12:30. I drove to Alex's house it took my like 2 minutes we live Farley close to each other. I texted him.
Me-I'm here
4 minutes no response.
Me-Alex
Me-ALEX
Me-ALEX!
Alex- what's up?
Me-I've been waiting out side where r u?????
Alex- oh I forgot to tell you I got a ride from someone else... I'll probably be at the party late.
Me-but didn't you already leave?
Alex-yah I had to stop by a friends for something for the party.
Me-oh okay.
That was strange. I pulled four houses down to Sam's. They lived on the same block. She came outside. I unlocked the doors and she got in the car.
"Where's Alex?" Was her first question.
"Oh he got a ride from someone else. I probably kept him waiting for to long or something." She gave me a disapproving look.
"Is something wrong Mads?"
"Maddie not Mads. And I just think after being on vacation for so long-" she cut me off.
"He hasn't been on vacation."
"What do you mean?" I started to get nervous. Why was he lying to me. It started to seem pretty obvious that maybe he wasn't just at a friends house.
"Oh my god Maddie. When's the last time you went over his house."
I couldn't think.
"Um well he's been on vacation for over a week now. And before that we hung at my house and then at the beach. So Like 2 weeks maybe more." She tapped nervously on the arm rest.
"You don't think...has he had people over?" I asked She looked at me then looked away. I stopped the car.
"Samantha."
"Yes."
"Yes what? That he has people over or just yes."
"Yes...he has people- girls over. And I guess they're not you. I thought they were. I'm so sorry." I slammed my hands on the steering wheel.
"Shit!"
"Maddie I could be wrong though. Talk to him about it first before you do anything stupid."
"Oh and what am I supposed to say. 'Hey douche pants are you cheating on me?'" I started to drive again.
"I guess." She shrugged.
"Forget about it. I'll handle it." I didn't look at her. I thought if I did that I'd cry.
"How many times have you seen him bring someone home?" I asked as we pulled up to this party.
She hesitated before answering,"A few" she said.
"But it could be family or maybe he's in a book club!" She said trying to help.
"Maybe." I said in a low tone as I walked out if the car and into this house. I said hi to people. I got my self and drink and just kinda chilled waiting for his arrival.
"Who even lives here?" I asked Sam.
She shrugged and then Alex arrives with 2 other boys and 3 girls. I pretended that I didn't see him walk in with a girl. I figured it all out. I would act like I didn't know until he did something,(If he was even planning on doing something). Then I'd confront him and maybe...break up. So I approached him. Calmly and sweet. 2 drinks in slightly buzzed I'd probably not have another drink. I hate being drunk and I had to handle this with a leveled head.
"Madison my love." He said. I could tell there was already a few beers in him.
"Alex my love." I played into it. He pulled me in extremely close. He kissed me . For a while. With tongue. Intensely. Almost making out right there in front of everyone. Besides the taste of Corona. There was lipgloss. He cheep kind that you buy at CVS when youre younger. Obviously I don't wear lipgloss cause A)I'm not 10 and B) I'm not a hooker. So this only leads me to believe recently his lips touched someone else's. And they weren't mine. How great? I pulled away. He was really turned on. He gets like that when he's drunk or lead on by a skank bag, just like the one he walked in here with. I looked that asshole straight in the eyes and said,
"Alex are you cheating on me?"
"What?"
"You haven't been on vacation have you? Oh and I'm pretty sure you don't wear lip gloss." I was talking normally with no mode in my voice.
He looked away.
"Listen, Maddie-"
"I knew it you fucking cheater!" I cut him off.
He interrupted me and said.
"Keep your voice down."
"Keep my voice down? Oh you don't want people to know?" I was getting louder. People were staring a little now. Oh well.
"Your scum yah know that Alex. Cheating on me with some slut! I-"
His hand stuck my head hard. I fell to the floor. I looked up in horror. He looked like a monster. I was terrified. Was he going to hit me again? Who was going to protect me? For the first time in a long time I felt so weak and powerless. But seconds after I hit the floor, a million thoughts going through my head, some one punched Alex in the jaw knocking him unconscious. The same person then lifted me up onto my feet. I looked for Sam. Who was this taking me.
"C'mon," he said, "we gotta get you out of here."
The voice was familiar.
He brought my inside.
Are we in a bathroom.
The door shut.
"A little blood right here." He wiped it away. The room was spinning.
"Ouch." I said.
"Sorry. He must of it you with his ring. Hockey players are dicks." He smiled. It was naturally tilted. My vision un-blurred.
"why did you bring me in here?"
"I figured you wouldn't want to be in the middle of all the drama." His hand was bleeding.
"You hit my boyfriend."
I grabbed his hand. His knuckled were pretty bashed up.
"Was there an other option? Mads you deserve better then him."
I was taken back by that name.
"What did you just call me?"
"Oh right you always hated being called Mads."
Oh. My. God. It. Was. Hayes. He called me Mads. When we were little. It use to make me so mad. I haven't talked to him in the longest time. I smiled. It was at that moment I realized I was sitting on a toilet. Not using it but still. I was mortified. Heat rushed to my cheeks. But I could really careless.
Hayes reached over into a cabinet and grabbed a band aid and placed it over my cut so gently I barley felt it.
"Do you want so ice or something?" He asked
"No. I'm fine. I have to go find my friend, Sam, she might be worried."
"Yeah totally." He opens the door.
I jumped up only to get 10 times more dizzy then I already was. I fell back. Into his arms.
"Woah. You sure you're okay. I mean you hit the floor pretty hard. Do you want me to go get her?"
I sat back down on the toilet.
"Yah. Please." He left the bathroom and I got up and looked in the mirror. My hair was okay. My face was a little swollen. I lightly pressed my finger against it to swipe away blood from the gash in my head where the ring hit me. The door swung open.
"Maddison!" Riley hugged me. I didn't even know she was here. I started to cry.
"My Alex. The lying piece if shit! I want to leave" I said through the tears.
"Hayes and Sam are making everyone leave and I think its best we stay in here until everyone does. He said to give you this." She passed me a nice pack and Advil. My head pounded. I might be sick. I took the pain killer and gently pressed the ice to my head.
"So his is Hayes' house I guess." I said.
"Yah." Riley smiled.
Something was going down my neck. "Oh shit." I pressed my finger against my neck to feel a warm stream of blood dripping down. Riles looked up. She reached back and passed me a tissue. I wiped the blood off my face and neck. I wanted nothing more then to leave this bathroom and be home in my bed sleeping the pain of a broken heart and head away.
The door opened.
"One of Alex's friends got him up and they left. Everyone's leaving through the back now, you could go to if you want he's not here anymore." Sam said. She noticed I was wiping blood off my face.
"Oh Maddie." She walked over to hug me. I was num. I-I felt nothing. Not happy but not sad. I could careless about Alex but at the same time I just, I don't know. Whether to cry or just sit here or vomit because the spinning of my head was very nauseating.
"I wanna leave." Im managed to crook.
"C'mon. I'll drive you." Sam said. I got up. Left the bathroom and headed for the door. Everyone was leaving at once it was like a scene from the movies. I took a glance at a mirror in this basement hallway, my mascara was running, my fave was puffy, my eyes blood shot, actual blood dripping down my face. I looked like death. Who cares though. My looks are the least if my worries at this moment. I just wanted to be Home.
