Hide Your Heart From The Past

Part 21

"Let's just get this stuff to her and get the fuck out of here, I'm over the drama today." You said.

Paul held your hand as the two of you rode the elevator to the floor your mom was on. You didn't know how much more you could take from your family before you snapped. That battle had already started to make you feel anxiety and anger stir in your gut. Anything you did wouldn't shine in the same light as your brother, So why did it honestly matter anymore?

"I promise not to provoke her, anymore today," Paul told you.

You looked at the man and rolled your eyes at his comment, making him laugh and drop your hand to wrap his arm around you. The elevator dinged as the elevator doors opened to the physical therapy unit, causing you to let out an annoyed sigh. Paul pulled you out of the door and led you toward the dreaded destination.

The two of you were passing the nurse's station when you felt Paul stiffen and tighten his grip on you. You looked from him to the direction Paul was glaring at. Melissa and your brother were walking toward the two of you with huge grins plastered across their faces.

"You really are that stupid, I told you to stay away from here Jake! She doesn't need the stress and I for fuck sure don't need the headache from either of you." You snapped.

"You don't control the visitation list, Y/N, both of us are free to come and visit whenever." Melissa spit.

"I can fix that real quick to where you have no access, This was all set up by me for her mom because of what that drug addict did. I can make things really difficult for the two of you. Especially for you, Jake. Hand to god don't test me." Paul said sternly.

You felt a sense of pride as you watched both Melissa and Jake's eyes grow wide at Paul's threat. Jake moved toward Paul instantly causing you to step back toward the wall, the old fear your baby brother had instilled in you from years of abuse.

Paul towered over your little brother, the calm look washed over Paul's face, though his body language gave you a clear sign of what would go down if Jake made the wrong move toward you or Paul.

"Watch yourself, pretty boy, you're not in Beverly Hills anymore there are no security guards to save you if I whooped your ass," Jake said.

"Pal you better have some bite behind that bark. I don't need anyone to save my ass, now both of you get the fuck out of here." Paul snarled.

You looked over at the nurse's station seeing all eyes were on the scene about to unfold in the middle of the hallway. Paul gave your aunt and brother one final look before smiling over at you and reaching for your hand to pull you away from them.

Just as you and Paul started to walk off, two hands landed on your back and pushed you to the ground. You looked up to see your brother standing beside you before he was slammed against the wall by Paul. You watched as Melissa tried to pull your boyfriend off of your brother but Paul tightened his grip.

"Security is needed to the physical therapy unit, I repeat security is needed to the PT unit." A nurse called from the PA system.

Two nurses came running down the hall to stop the altercation from going any further. One pulling Paul to the other side of the hall. You tried to stand up to follow him and get as far away from the chaos but dizziness struck pulling you back to the floor. You felt a hand on your shoulder as you tried to focus on Paul standing in front of you.

"Y/N, Baby are you okay?" Paul asked.

You shook your head no trying to stop the tears forming in your eyes. You wrapped your arms around him and sobbed. Paul ran his hand down your back gentling whispering in your ear to soothe you until you're shaking stopped.

"What's going on here?" A deep voice asked from behind you,

Both of you looked over to see two policemen standing there. Paul stood up from his spot and shook both of their hands before helping you to your feet. You looked over to see Jake and Melissa still in the area being blocked from moving toward you. Paul extended his hand to shake each of their hands.

"Paul Stanley and this is my girlfriend Y/N," Paul told them

"Y/N you want to tell us what happened?" the officer asked.

"Yeah go ahead and spread more lies like you do your legs, Y/N, you came at me first," Jake yelled

"You motherfucker" Paul said through gritted teeth

One of the officers walked over toward your brother pushing him away from the area. You pulled Paul back toward you and tightened your grip as you looked back at the remaining You took a deep breath trying to calm yourself down and give the details to the officers.

" Jake knocked me to the ground after we asked him to leave. He's been asked to not come up here when he's under the influence since that's the reason why my mom got beat up. Jake and Melissa wanted to start a fight after Paul said he would have both of them banned from coming up here." You told them, looking at the ground.

"We are all aware of how Mr. Y/L/N is, we've been trying to bring him in for questioning on the incident that happened with your mom."The officer sighed.

"Can they be stopped from coming up here? I mean he's already put one person in the hospital and now has gotten physical with Y/N. I don't trust Melissa not to try and attack one of us." Paul said.

"Do you want to press charges? We can put a no trespassing order  on the other one too." The officer replied.

You looked up at the guitarist concerned about what to do, knowing if you pressed charges life while you both were in town was going to be a lot difficult and would put a bigger wedge between your mom and you. Paul pulled you tighter to him rubbing his hand down your back After a minute you took a deep breath and turned back to the officer.

"Yes, I would like to press charges against him." You said.

"Make sure, Melissa isn't allowed up here either. If Melissa wants to see her then she can wait until the release date." Paul said sternly.

The officer nodded to the both of you, before walking toward the other area where your brother and aunt were being held. The two of you stood off to the side watching as both officers talked to them and then placed your brother in handcuffs, the other one walking Melissa out the door.

"You'll pay for this Y/N" Melissa yelled.

The room started spinning as your head pounded from the fall. You felt two arms wrap around you just in time before the room went black.
