Only Time Will Tell • Why Don't We

Chapter 10- Situation: Part 1

Zach's POV

I woke up to me holding Mekayla with one arm around her waist and the other draped over her stomach. I had the weirdest dream last night and I wondered if it was a sign.

When I drifted off last night I had a dream that Mekayla and I were...married!? We had twins a boy and a girl and had another one on the way. We...were happy and I felt like my life was perfect. We were both still making music and Mekayla even took up dancing again. She was an amazing dancer, but when she started getting abused she quit. We were all sitting in the living room as a family when all of a sudden a window broke in and a mysterious man walked in who-..........

I would tell you what happened next, but I don't know because I woke up as soon as that mysterious man walked in. I didn't spring up because I remembered that Mekayla was still next to me, so my eyes just shot open and I looked around the room and then at M, to find her sleeping peacefully.

I oddly stared at her with a dumb grin on my face. I was still staring at her when her eyes fluttered open. "Gooooooood Morning lazy," I said. "One, I'm not lazy you are and two, good morning," she responded with sarcasm. We just stared at each other for what felt like forever, and I remembered that I had to tell her that I had to go. "Hey, M there's something I need to tell you," I told her. "What?" she asked worriedly. "I have to go to some meetings today, so I might be gone all day," I told her. She gave me a sad look and she laid her head back on my chest. I rubbed her back and kissed her forehead and then I started feeling her tears drop on my chest. I sat up and she did the same and I wiped her tears away. "Hey, I promise I'll be back in like three hours and then I'll be all yours for the rest of the day," I assured her. "...Ok, you've got three hours until I start blowing up your phone," she said happily.

I left Peyton's apartment around 9:30 AM, so that meant I had until 12:30 PM to get back. We had finished 3 meetings in two and a half hours, and I had a half hour to get back to Peyton's apartment. I said bye to the guys and ran to my car and most likely passed the speed limit (speeding is wrong people😂). I made it with ten minutes to spare. I went to the door and it was unlocked, which was unusual. I was about to yell Mekayla's name when I heard her scream. I sprinted upstairs to find......

Mekayla's POV

When Zach told me he had to leave I was sad, but I knew I couldn't make him stay. He left and an hour later I was getting text messages from Todd asking where I am. Last night was supposed to be my last time in L.A., I was convinced to stay, so now he's wondering where I am.

I heard the doorbell ring and I slowly went downstairs with my phone in my hand and my keypad open and I opened the door. I saw someone who I'd thought was out of my life for good, but I guess I was wrong. Standing in front of me was my ex-boyfriend, Scott.

*FLASHBACK*

When I was about fourteen almost fifteen I met this guy well not really but we met when I was fourteen. I had always seen him around, but I never really thought about it. He ended up "bumping into me" one day and we started talking...A LOT. He was a really nice guy, but this was before my dad got locked up, so I always lied when he asked where I was. We started dating about three months after meeting and then everything took a turn for the worst. He started being really rude, he cheated on me with hundreds of girls and he even started hitting me. Whenever I got an attitude or sarcastic with him, he would hit me. I didn't tell Zach about him, so he thought it was my dad.  Anyways, he would always try to make me stay at his house, but I would try my best to leave. I then later found out he was apart of some "illegal activities" and I was his "property" apparently. I told him that we were over and he started going ballistic. Everywhere I would try to go to hide he would find me and I guess he's been searching.

*BACK TO REALITY*

He was standing at the door with a knife in his hand and I tried to close the door, but he was way stronger than me. "How's my princess been doing," he said with a creepy grin on his face. I didn't respond, so he punched me in the face. He grabbed a huge chunk of my hair and pulled me towards him. "I ASKED YOU A QUESTION," he yelled. I was too scared to respond so he kept a hold of my hair and dragged me upstairs to my room. I knew Zach would be home any moment, but I didn't want him to get hurt. Scott punched me in my rib cage and I dropped to the floor and he then started kicking me in the stomach and back. I let out a few screams, but I heard the downstairs open and knew that it was either Peyton or Zach. I tried to get up, but Scott stabbed me in the leg and I screamed and heard someone run upstairs. I looked up and saw Zach standing at the door and he immediately looked at me and then back at Scott with an angry look. I ended up blacking out because of the stab wound, but I heard what sounded like glass breaking before I blacked out completely and woke up in..........
