shit and hopefully my next words would get rid of him completely. “I fucked him! Is that what you want to hear, you bastard? I fucked him and he was better than you!” The next thing I knew I was falling to the ground. He had punched me so hard in the stomach that I went down with no lifeline for support. I couldn’t catch my breath. I was gasping and felt like I was going to die. He started kicking me in the stomach while I wrapped my hands around myself trying to protect myself, blow after blow. I felt like the toe of his boot was making a permanent impression in my skin, it was so deep. “You bitch!” Kick to the ribs. “I knew it!” Another swift kick. My whole world was spinning. I couldn’t breathe. Tears were making a heavy trail down my cheeks and I just wanted to die. “Stop… Please stop,” I said breathlessly I felt like I was choking on my words. The pain was so severe that I thought I might vomit. I looked up from the ground just as he was bending over to grab me by the hair again and out of nowhere, Reeve was there pulling Jensen off of me. I praised God that help had finally arrived. Reeve started punching the shit out of him, rapidly firing one blow after another. I could hear the skin meeting skin and what sounded like crunching. All the while I lay there not being able to do a damn thing. I felt a horrible cramping and I couldn’t breathe. Then it hit me. Oh no… Oh no… No. No. No. Please God no. What if I was pregnant and he harmed the baby? More tears fell just as Jensen fell at the same time. Reeve was instantly by my side. “Bee, are you okay?” He pushed the hair out of my face and started checking over me. “No,” I croaked. He put his arms under my body and lifted me off the ground, cradling my body to his. In that moment I couldn’t be more thankful. I started to sob loudly. “It’s okay, Bee, we’re going to get you checked out. I got you.” He tried soothing me. I just pressed my head to his chest and thanked God he was here. I felt fucking awful like I had a cracked rib, and I had this horrible cramping like I was having my period. I knew deep down what that was and I lost it. “Babe, you’re bleeding,” he said with the utmost concern. I looked down and sure enough there was blood coming out between my legs. The baby. Yeah, I was right I had lost the baby. I just knew it. I continued to sob. Having a baby right now would have not been my first choice, however in my heart I knew I was pregnant. In many ways, despite my feelings, a part of me desired the chance to carry Justice’s baby. To have him or her grown inside of me and then to bring them to life. Making a baby was amazing but giving birth to a new life was phenomenal. It has really changed Sydney’s life. I wasn’t sure what I wanted or expected from Justice, but I did want this baby whether I was ready for it or not. “Justice,” I said between sobs, and Reeve just nodded knowing exactly what I meant. I needed him now more than I ever needed him. I didn’t look back to check on Jensen, it was all I could do to keep myself from passing out. But I wanted him to pay for what he had done to me. It was really fucked up that I allowed this situation to escalate to the point it had. I really should have listened to everyone in my life who thought he was not a good guy. Sydney was usually always right and I should have trusted her instincts. I would never forgive him for what he had taken from me.
Chapter Seven Justice It was a Friday night and I had just pulled into the driveway of my home from a grueling day at work. We had a few DUI’s that we had to contend to which led to arrests. I liked my job but dealing with drunks was never fun. Most of the time they didn’t know what the fuck they were doing. Shit pissed me off. It wasn’t my weekend to have Camden which really crawled under my skin. I wanted to see him all the time and would have him move in with me if I could. He and his
