Giovanna's POV

I have to say, being faster than Michael really boosted my confidence.

"Holy shit, slow down." Michael says; still chasing after me.

"Then stop chasing after me if it really makes you that tired." I say as I slow down to take a breath.

"I'll never stop chasing after you, Gio." Michael says as he grabs my hand.

I look back at Michael whilst tugging my hand away from him, that lady freaked me out a little to be honest.

"Maybe we should head home?" I suggest; kicking a pebble to Michael.

Michael looks up at me; his smile slowly turning into a frown.

"We should go home and rest up. A lot of running today!" Michael rushes as he pushes me forward and into a tree.

"Ouch! Oh my god am I bleeding?" I mumble; lightly touching my forehead.

"Giovanna?" A voice asks me as Michael tenses up.

"You should leave." Michael says as he wraps a secure arm around my waist.

My vision clears and I can tell who it is; It's Bryan.

"I just wanted to tell you the truth." Bryan says; smirking at me.

"The truth is, I never loved you, I only loved your body." Bryan admits to me (well us including Michael.)

"You little fucker!" Michael yells; lunging towards Bryan, causing a few kids and parents to stare.

"Control your little dog there before I hurt the fucking bitch.'' Bryan remarks.

''Guys just stop! We are at a park in front of many children so please, just calm down!'' I shout, causing even more parents to stare.

''What Gio, can't handle the truth? Is that the problem? Well then maybe you should've thought about that before you decided to break up with me and then go for this dick!'' Bryan yells, staring me and Michael down, not giving a flying fuck about the amount of people staring.

''You know what, no. I don't care. I honestly couldn't care less about what you have to say to me. Wanna know why? Well because I never loved you either. Ever since you started beating me,'' I stop to look at the parents around me, making sure they were also listening, ''ever since you started beating me, all that love and compassion and trust, it all went away. You lost every feeling from me the second your fist hit my face. So you know what? Why don't you just shut up and leave me as well as everyone else alone. Because no one wants you or wants to hear from you.'' I stride towards Michael and gesture him home.

''Gio, you need to see who's on the TV, like right now!'' I hear Calum yell from the living room.

Once I get there and see who's on the TV doesn't surprise me at all.

''Man gets arrested today for domestic violence against ex-girlfriend.'' the news reporter says.

On the screen is a picture of the one and only, Bryan.

''An anonymous caller claims to have been at Morning Dew Park earlier this afternoon when a girl's 'ex-boyfriend' was seen yelling and threatening to hurt the girl's new friend. Not long after the threats, the girl apparently confessed to some parents and children that the boyfriend used to beat and domestically abuse her.'' the news reporter says.

All eyes are then on me, as if waiting for me to break down in tears or whatnot.

''Gio, why don't you look surprised or anything. You're douche-y ex just got arrested! We should celebrate.'' Calum says, as if this was all like some kind of birthday.

''I'm gonna go to my room.'' I quietly say, then run away.

''Wait, Gio, what happ-'' I cut Michael off by slamming the door to his bedroom in his face.

''Michael! I called the cops! Alright? I did it, I called the cops. I ratted him out. I was the 'anonymous caller' from the park. I called the police after we got home. Is that what you guys want to know, is that what you guys wanted done?'' I yell through the door.

''Gio, let me in. Let us talk, please. Don't shut me out.'' Michael softly says.

I  open the door to let him in.

''Did you really? Did you really call the police on Bryan?'' he asks, gently.

I hesitate for a moment. ''Yes. Yes I did. I was just so sick and tired of him and his douche-y self. I was just so ready to see his ass kicked and for him to finally feel as miserable as I felt when I was with him.''

''You don't seem very happy with it, thought. What's really wrong?'' Michael asks again.

The problem with that question was, I didn't know what was wrong. I wasn't happy but I wasn't sad. I hadn't quite felt like I had won because there was nothing to have won.

''I don't know, Michael. I don't know what's wrong. I just, I loved him. I may not as much right now but I did. And it's always hard seeing people go through something rough, even if they made your life hell. It's pointless, really. I just need someone right now. I need, I need, I don't know what I need.'' I say, tears beginning to pool in my eyes.

Michael sees I'm starting to cry and pulls me into his arms.

''Oh Giovanna, it's going to be okay. You and everyone else are gonna be safe now and no one's going to get hurt.

You have me. I'll be right here and I'll never leave. Ever. You feel guilty right now, I know you do but it's gonna get better. You have me and Calum and Ashton and Stella and Emma and everyone else. We'll help you feel better. Don't worry, Gio. Don't worry about a thing.'' Michael whispers in my ear.

''Reason 7: We need more people in this world like you. I couldn't imagine a life without you."

At this point, Michael and I are just two idiots, hugging on the floor.

It couldn't get any better than this.
