Hazel POV

"I have been texting her nonstop. Where the hell is she? What is she doing?" I slowly look at Gerald and see him looking at his phone with a frustrated look.

His phone starts ringing and he quickly picks it up, "What the hell?! Why the hell did it take you so long to text or call back?!" He puts her on speakerphone, "Because one of Hazel friends came to my house and tried to kill me! She kept asking me where I last saw Hazel!" My eyes widen, "Lily and Shane."

Gerald looks at me and I look away, "What have you been doing?" He gets up and walks towards me, I scoot as far as I can on the bed, "Nothing, just watching my beautiful Hazel. Has Ian called you yet?" I look at him quickly when he says Ian name.

She sucks her teeth, "I'm on my way now, I'll tell you once I get there." She hangs up and he looks at me, "Something bad must have happened, she sounds upset."

I move away from him and he sighs, he unchains my hands and ankle, "Don't get excited, I'm letting you go take a shower." He hands me a towel set and a big T-shirt. I slide off the bed and go to the bathroom, "If you're in there too long, I'll knock on the door." I nod my head and walk in.

He closes the door and I look at myself in the mirror. I let out a soft cry as I wash my face. I brush my teeth and put my hair in a bun. I take my clothes off and turn the shower on.

I step in and wash myself up. I take my hair out of the bun and put my head under the shower head. I close my eyes and hug myself, "I hope Aaron is okay?" I say to myself as I sit down and let the water fall on me. I start crying and I hear a knock on the door, "Hazel, it's time for you to get out."

I ignore his demand and continue sitting on the shower floor. Minutes later Gerald comes in, he turns the water off and put the towel over me, "Why aren't you flinching away from me? You're naked in front of a man you barely know." I dry myself off and put the shirt on, "You would have done something the minute Hannah had left last night."

I follow him out and sit on the bed. He puts the chains back on and sighs, "Hannah will be here in a few." He puts a plate of food in front of me, "You don't have to eat it all, but eat some of it."

I look at the plate and see two sandwiches with some chips. "Why are you being nice to me? Why aren't you hitting me or anything?" He looks at me and smile, "Because you will slowly fall for me. When Ian goes back to Hannah I will be there to pick up the pieces."

Before I could say anything, Hannah storms in and slap me across my face, "What the hell Hannah?!" Gerald shouts and she glares at me, "Shut Up!!" I hold my face and glare at her, "Ian's staying at your place!! Why did you have to come in between us?! I'm the one for him, not you!!"

I feel my face tingling from the impact, "It's not my fault he fell out of love with you!! I did nothing wrong!!" She steps forward and steps on my hand with her heel, "Aahh!! Get off!!" I kick the back of her leg and retreat my hand, "That's enough Hannah!"

She pushes Gerald away, "Get away from me!! She's ruining everything!!" Gerald grabs her by her arms, "Well you putting your hands on her was not apart of the plan!!" He pushes her away and comes towards me, I flinch away and he sighs, "Just let me look, I'm not going to hurt you."

I shake my head, "Stop!! Stop it!! Please stop!! You being nice to me is scaring me more than you being mean to me!! I just want to go home!!" I start crying and hug myself, "I want to see my son, I want to see Ian."

"Ian?! Ian?! Ian doesn't want you, he wants me!!" I continue to cry and Gerald picks me up and put me in his lap, "Why are you doing that?! She's doing the same thing she did to Ian to you! She's just acting!"

I want to stop crying, but I can't. I miss my son, I want to see him. Why is this happening to me?

I get off of Gerald lap and wipe my tears away, "Ian said he will think about coming back to my place. I told him I will comfort him until you show back up."

She bends down in front of me and smile, "Let me tell you a story." I scoot back and she pulls up a chair.

"I'm pretty sure Megan told you the reason why she doesn't like me." I slowly nod my head and she claps her hands, "I blackmailed Megan during all of her high school years." My eyes widen, "Yep, I know right, shocking isn't it?"

"Megan never liked Ian, she always liked Mason, but since I was moving away I still wanted to keep Ian close by, so I told Megan to date him. She was reluctant at first, but then I told her I will tell people about her family issues." I look at her with more confusion on my face.

"Megan was being raped by her dad every single day. Her mom just let the whole thing happen. She would come to my house and tell me everything. She didn't want to tell anybody, because she didn't have anywhere else to go. When I found out she liked Mason, I also held that over her head." I throw some food at her and she dodged it, "Why would you do that to her?!"

She shrugs her shoulders and laughs, "She didn't want me to tell Mason that because she thought Mason would be disgusted. I made her go out with Ian, I made her have sex with Ian. Every girl that came Ian way, I made Megan push them away. My favorite of all of them is you. I forced Megan to bully you, I forced her to do those things to you." I run towards her and she backs up, the chains stop me inches away from her face.

"What is your problem?! Do you know how much pain you put her through?! You did this all because of your obsession towards Ian!! Who the hell does that?!" She hums in response and points to herself, "Me!! When Ian broke up with Megan, I thought it was all over, but then I end up moving back. I sent you the threatening text messages. Oh! Here comes the good part, I sent people out to jump you five years ago and I told Gerald to find some more people and give them a little cash."

I look at Gerald and he looks at me with a half smile, "You're both crazy! All this because of your obsessions!! Gerald, why didn't you just try to talk to me?! You watched me get jump!!" He reaches for me and I move away, "Every chance I tried to talk to you, Ian will drag you away."

I scoff and move to the corner, "Ahh!! Just let me go!!" Hannah starts laughing and I look at her, "We will the minute Ian gets over you." She stands up and pat my face, "I'll be going, I just had to tell you that story."

She looks at Gerald, "Comfort her, you always wanted to do it." She walks out as Gerald comes towards me, "Come here." I shake my head and he pulls me towards him, "No! Stop!" He forces me on his lap and I put my hands on his chest, "Stop resisting or I might really hurt you."

I stop moving and he puts his head on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, I'm not going to hurt you."

Ian POV and days later

"Aaron you have to eat something, I know you're not eating your lunch at school." I am helping Aaron getting ready for school, "You didn't go to school yesterday or Monday, you have to go today." He slowly eats his food and I sigh.

"If you stay for a couple of hours, I'll come to pick you up early. Is that cool?" He looks at me and nods his head, "Alright, let's go then." He grabs his bag and we head to my car.

The ride to school was silent, all you can you hear is our breathing. Minutes later we pull up to the school, a teacher comes to my side and smile at me, "Since Aaron is going through this right now, he doesn't have to come to school for a while, we will not mark him absent, but you will need to come and pick up his work." I look at the woman and nod my head, "Um, okay, I'll come back at the end of this week to pick up his work."

She shows me a small smile and we head back home. As soon as we get back home, Aaron goes straight to his room. I let out a long sigh and pull out my phone, "Hey, make sure everybody is ready tonight. Aaron's coming along too." I say to Mason as I look at the time on the wall clock.

Skipping to tonight

I'm knocking on Hannah door and seconds later she opens it, "Ian? You didn't tell me you were coming over. How's everything going so far?" I put my hands in my pocket, "Not so well, you don't mind if I stay here for a few." She quickly nods her head and pulls me in, "Yeah, you can. I told you I'll be here for you."

We sit down in the living room and watch tv. She pulls out her phone minutes later, "I was getting worried about you. Do you want to talk about it?" I shake my head and she sighs, she runs her fingers through my hair and I close my eyes.

"I do have something to ask you."
