CHAPTER 18.

~••Picture is Vaughn••~

•

°~Jaxton's P.O.V~°

"Yeah. I can." I smiled. It was totally fake. I felt bad for not telling Dylan the whole truth about Vaughn. "It was after you dropped me off" I looked at Raven.

•~Flashback~•

"Goodnight Dylan. Goodnight Raven" I said as I got out of the car with a smile. Happy I'd finally gotten home.

"Goodnight" they said as the same time as if singing the chorus of a song.

"Be careful" Dylan yelled in a caring voice as I shut the door. I nodded with a smile and waved at them tight before Raven drove off.

I headed for my door with a yawn, I was tired already. I did have fun at the party and the dance off and kiss game. It was all fun. Fun I haven't had in a while cause of everything I've been feeling and going through.

I walked to my door and took out my keys which were in my pocket, I inserted it into the lock and then I heard my name.

"Jaxton?"

It was a voice I clearly could remember. A voice that sent shivers down my spin.

I flinched and twirled with a gasp, fear grabbed me and there he was right in front of me, few steps away in a total black outfit. Black pants, black top and a black leather jacket. His hair was ruffled, he wasn't blond anymore.

Vaughn.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" I asked with a gulp.

"I..I came to see you" he put on a smile, his hands dived into his pockets.

"Why? Don't you have some other slut to sleep with tonight" I said in an irritated voice and turned back to the door, I twisted the key, opening the door.

"Jaxton. Wait" he took a step forward.

"No" I turned to him placing one of my hands forward to stop him. "I...I don't want you here. So...so please j-just leave"

"I...I am sick of this" he yelled making me flinch and take a step back. "I AM SICK OF THIS BULLSHIT. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE?"

"YOU CHEATED!" I yelled back. "NOT ONCE. NOT TWICE. GOD KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES." I chuckled frustratedly. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT YOU COULDN'T KEEP THAT THING IN BETWEEN YOUR LEGS IN YOUR PANTS."

"SO WHAT? EVERYONE FREAKING CHEATS"

oh wow.

"Yeah, every breathing thing that passes by makes your dick hard. Be it human or animal." I rolled my eyes at him " Just go home Vaughn"

"I WONT. I WANT YOU AND I. WILL. HAVE. YOU" he put small periods those words making emphasis. "I always get what I want"

"Not this time Vaughn. You won't have me. I said its over and I don't need you so go home before I call the cops" I said and opened my door.

"Don't you dare THREATEN ME. I'M STILL TALKING TO YOU" He walked towards me and grabbed my arm, forcing me to face him.

"Let go off my arm" I ordered.

"NO. I AM TIRED OF THIS SHITTY BEHAVIOR"

It was then that I saw it.

His eyes. They didn't spark no more. They were red, veins on his forehead. He'd been doing drugs. He didn't stop. He wasn't himself. He wasn't stable and that meant one thing...

I wasn't safe

"V-vaughn j..just go home. Please. I.."

His grip tightened the more, and my arm began to hurt.

"Vaughn. Stop. You're hurting me." I said trying to get his hand off

But he didn't care.

"Vaughn" I called and stepped on his shoe with full force when he wouldn't let go. He grunted and his grip loosened. I quickly rose my arm and hit him on the face with my elbow, hard, making him move back.

I pushed my door open and as I rushed in, i could hear him groan from behind me. He stepped on the back of my shoe, making me almost trip and fall as it came off at the doorstep. I held my door and pushed it, trying to close it but he was also trying to stop me from locking it. We were both battling with the door. I needed to call the cops, call someone. Dylan maybe. Mom? I put my hand into my back pocket to take out my phone but it wasn't there and I searched all my pockets with one hand while I still struggled.
"Where is..."

And then I remembered.

"Shit."

My phone was with Dylan.

"Vaughn. S-stop" I yelled trying to close and lock it. He put his hand through and tried pushing it and so I bit his fingers. He screamed and pulled them back and at the edge of closing it, he kicked it and I don't know what superpower he had right now but that kick through the door pushed me down, making me fall flat on my ass.

It hurt.

He walked in and closed the door behind him but it didn't shut.

"Vaughn. Stop. Please." I said while I moved backwards with my butt.

"I said I was sorry. why are you hurting me"

"Vaughn. You're n-not stable. You...you need to go home and relax"

"I can't. You've hurt me and I'll take what I came here for" he said as he approached me, walking fast. As he got closer. I kicked him at his junk twice and swiped his feet with mine, kicking it off the ground and making him fall. Once he did. I stood up and decided to head for my room. I'll just go out through the window.

But he was faster...how did he keep doing that. Always catching me at the last minute.

He grabbed me by the waist and turned me. He was grunting from pain. He punched me in the stomach and it brought back memories. I cried out in pain.

"You're weak"

A voice in my head said. A voice I recognized. Years ago.

He punched me again and held me by the throat, he pulled me up and pushed me up the wall. I couldn't breathe. My feet didn't even touch the floor. He was that huge.

"You have to re-love me. Love me back" he said through clenched teeth.

"I-i...can't" I said and grabbed the picture next to me on the wall, hitting him on the head with it. The glass shattered on his head and I saw blood. He grunted and let go off me. I fell to the floor, gasping for breath. Hr held the wall for support and I took that as my queue so I stood up even though my throat hurt, I threw the photo away and ran into the room.

"GET BACK HERE" I heard him say while I ran. I ran into my room and shut the door, going to the window. I tried opening it but there was a problem. It wouldn't open.

"No. No. No. Don't do this to me. Please open" I began to panic as I tried pushing it and just then, the door opened. My heart skipped a beat as I turned and there he was. A trail of blood at the side of his face.

Oh shit.

"You. Little shit" he scowled at me and began walking towards me.

"V-vaughn. What is wrong with you. You should..." I began walking backwards, moving to my left. "...let's talk about this tomorrow".

"What is wrong with me? You hit me with a glass picture frame"

"Well you broke into my house and tried to kill me. It only seems fair" I sighed. Planning an escape route in my head on how to run out that door and out of this house. Then scream. That's what I'd do next and someone will come out. The neighbors will help out.

"Shut. Up"

"Vaughn?" I called as I counted the meter from here to the door. "I-"

"Enough talking" he said , anger building in his eyes as he marched towards me rapidly. My eyes widen. I threw a pillow at him and climbed the bed heading for the door,he drew the sheets backwards and that was when I knew it was the end.

I slipped.

I fell right down and on the floor, my wrist hit the side of the bed hard and I winced in pain and even as I tried to ignore the pain. I couldn't. It hurt so much. That was gonna leave a mark. I held my wrist, a hand pulled me up and threw me to the bed. I screamed. He walked towards me unbuckling his belt.

Shit. I never thought I'd ever be raped.

I was frightened. Fear took over me. I was legit shaking.

"Vaughn. Pl...please" I could feel the tears. I was trembling.

"I did say I'd have you didn't I?" He said as he climbed the bed. I tried kicking him off but he just held my legs. He climbed on top of me and I began screaming.

"HELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE." I cried, trying to shake him off.

He sent a slap across my cheek and unzipped himself.

"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP M..." His hands went over my mouth, stopping me from screaming. I tried wiggling him off but he was stronger.

This was the end for me.

God help me

I began to cry and just like he had heard my prayer, the door burst open and Dylan ran in.

I was so glad he'd come, just in time. I begged him with my eyes to help me. Vaughn had not even noticed him.

•Flashback Ends•~

"I said it" Raven said and crossed her legs. "He's obsessed."

"I guess this is what I get for dating a total Bad Boy with Russian accent" I joked making them chuckle.

"Well we've got your back, okay." Dylan smiled at me and I smiled back.

I'm glad, God gave me the both of them. They're perfect.

~•Time skip•~
2:21PM

Dylan was finally discharged. His mom had helped him put on a shirt. Raven had gone home about twenty minutes ago after receiving a call, something about a mom needing her, she didn't want to go but it looked like she'd lose something and so Dylan let her go.

"Hey. Jaxton" Dylan called me once his mom stepped out.

"Yeah?" I was laying next to him on his bed.

"Is your mom back yet?"

I looked away and shook my head.

"Didn't the cops call her?"

"I-i don't know"

The truth was they did and she didn't care.

I faked a smile and looked at him.

"I've lived for a thousand years. I know a fake smile Jaxton" he arched his left brow at me.

Damn it

"They called her alright. She just doesn't care" I said and stood up.

He frowned and looked at me, his face had a lot of questions but he didn't ask any and I was glad.

"Where are you gonna stay?" He asked softly.

I swallowed.

"Back home or maybe the neighbor's" I shrugged. "I need to pee. I'll be right back" I said and walked out heading for the bathroom.

While waking down the halls, I passed a room and stopped. I stood for about dour seconds before walking back and looking into the room.

This sight.

I opened the door and walked in quietly, making sure no one saw me. I closed the door gently behind him and walked towards the woman. She was bald, thin, she was using an oxygen mask to breathe. So many machines.

Cancer.

I remembered sitting beside that very special someone everyday , hoping he'd recover but didn't. I sat on the chair next to the woman.

I spent two years visiting a hospital cause of this.

I hope she's asleep. I held her hand, I placed a kiss on it. I didn't know her but I understood her pain.

"God protect you. You're the mighty healer lord. Save her. Give her strength. Heal her. Do not forsake her. Let her get out of this alive. Please God" I felt the tears as I said the prayer. If only I prayed like this for him, if only I had asked God earlier.

I sniffed and wipes of my tears. "Amen" I did the holy trinity sign and opened my eyes.

She wasn't asleep, she was smiling at me.

Shit. I woke her.

She took off the oxygen mask slowly, her eyes were small, tired and were pretty. "Hi" her voice was weak

"Hi" I blinked and put her hand down gently. "I'm sorry for disturbing you"

"No. Its fine" her smile was warm. "No one has done that for me. Prayed for me." She still smiled.

I just smiled back. I didn't know what to do at this moment.

"What's your name sweetie?" She asked in a low soft tone.

"Jaxton. Jaxton Olson" I smiled at her.

She reached for my hand and held it, I glanced at it and back at her.

"Thank you so much Jaxton. I'm Astrid."

I smiled sincerely. "That's a really beautiful name Mrs Astrid"

It really was.

"Oh. Thank you and please. Just call me Astrid. Mrs is just too formal" she chuckled and I did too.

What's with all these women with not wanting respect anymore?

"What happened to you?" She pointed to my forehead.

I sighed and gave her a smile. "Long story"

"I can listen." She beamed.

"No. You need rest okay"

"Ugh. You sound like them. All I do is rest. All they tell me to do is rest"

I laughed.

"Cause you need it and you need to get better okay."

"Yeah yeah. I heard that a thousand time"

I smiled. "Well it's the truth. Just..keep fighting"

She really had to.

"Tell me. What brought you here? Why me?"

"Brought back memories. I just couldn't stop myself" I gave her a weak smile.

"Its okay" she squeezed my hand to assure me and I smiled. "All is well"

"All is well" I repeated smiling.

"Now Astrid. I have to go" I said and put back the oxygen mask as I stood up

"Will you come see me again?"

I just stared at her. I didn't know if I would.

I nodded. "Yes. Yes I will. Now just rest and I'll see you some other day." I said and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Bye"

"Bye" she muttered and gave a weak wave from the bed as I exited the room.

I had a big smile on my face as I closed the door gently. I looked sup at the room number.

Room 303

Where was I headed to?

Ah. The bathroom. Jesus. Now I really need to pee.

•

I got back into Dylan's room. He was all packed. His mom and dad were there.

"Hey. You're ready I see" I smiled.

"Yeah. What took you so long? Were you masturbating in the bathroom or something?"

I went pale.

All eyes went to him, his mom, dad's and I.

Sometimes the things that comes out of his mouth needs rethinking.

"What? I just said what was on everyone's mind" he shrugged.

"No. Not everyone. Just yours" his mom corrected.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"Anyways. As your best friend" he stood up. "I don't want you staying over at the neighbors and staying at your place isn't safe after...you know." He made sure not to mention Vaughn's name in front of his parents.

"Yeah?"

"So. I asked mom if you could stay with us and..."

My heart skipped a beat.

"You're gonna stay with us for as long as you want" she finished up with a grin, the same that Dylan had except his was more of a child's kind.

"We're gonna be roomies bruh" he grinned widely.

I huffed. This wasn't happening. The tears gathered up in my eyes. Did he really do that? Did he really just...

"You're my best friend after all" he smiled.

"Look" Bonnie walked up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder. "You are like a brother to Dylan. He loves you and you're special to him and not only him. You're special to me too. Any friend of Dylan is a friend of mine" she smiled at me.

"You'll be living with us now. You can return when your mom comes back home" Mr. Dexwell said with a smile.

"Thank you" I muttered to him trying not to cry. They were a loving family.

Bonnie gave me a hug and then another hand got wrapped around us.

Dylan.

"Now. Let's go. I cannot stay in this hospital anymore. I feel like some hospital demon is watching us" Dylan sighed as he broke the hug

Was he scared of the hospital?

I chuckled.

"Alright. Alright" Bonnie chuckled "let's go"

~•2:46pm•~

"Welcome back to our home" Bonnie said as she opened the door. I smiled, holding a bag with my clothes in it. We had first stopped by at my place to get some of my things before coming here.

"Need anything. Ask Bonnie or me" Mr. Dexwell patted my shoulder.

"You should make yourself comfortable" she said as she walked in. "You know where the kitchen is and every other thing but if you can't find anything and need my help, like Matthew said. Just ask. I'm one call away" she smiled.

"Thank you so much Bonnie"

"You'll sleep in the guest room. There's enough space and its right next to Dylan's room." She said as we climbed up the stairs with Dylan.

She led me into the guest room, it was as big as Dylan's room. The bed was also big,it looked comfortable. Everything was perfect. It was nicer than my own room.

"Wow. This is...perfect" I grinned as I walked over to the bed, I placed my bag on it and turned to Bonnie.

"Well, I'll be downstairs now. I have to go make lunch" she said and walked out with a smile. Dylan sighed as he walked in and sat on the bed right before I did.

"Thank you Dylan. I really appreciate it" I did

"Stop now"

"I..I just have never had something who cared this much for me this way" my voice cracked.

Damn me.

Dylan smiles and with his other hand, he pulled me in for a warm hug.

"Well now you have someone. Okay? Ever need something. You tell me"

Who do I tell? Bonnie? Mr. Dexwell or Dylan?

I nodded before breaking the hug and then he wiped off the tears from my face.

"Thank you" I muttered

"Now. I'll leave you to have some rest cause I'm sure you're probably tired" he smiled. I really was, I was tired.

"Alright then. You go rest as well"

"Yeah. I will." He said and stood up. "Later then roomie" he said as he started heading out. "MOM!!. HURRY UP CAUSE I'M STARVING!!" he yelled as he walked out of my room, closing the door gently.

I chuckled. Silly boy.

I looked around the room and laid on the bed with a sigh.

Thank you dad. Thank you for watching over your little boy.
