Always around

Keegan P.O.V

I left Catalyas apartment with a smile, I knew she would give in eventually. My father always said nothing that comes to you easily is worth fighting for. It's everything else you have to work hard for, those are the things that's priceless at the end. So I was more than willing to put in the hard work, knowing it would be worth it. Me and my father had to take a business trip, and I couldn't wait to come back to my little kitten. We had business meetings from morning till night, and I were really exausted by the time that I I would make it back to the hotel room. I weren't the only one who couldn't wait to get back home, my father just could'nt wait to get back to his wife. So luckily we got to finish up a day early, my father had a big suprise planned for Madelyn and I just wanted to see Catalaya. On my way home I called her security team she still had no idea she had, and they informed me that she and her girlfriends were at my club. I always felt good knowing she liked the place even though she had no idea it was all for her, a place where she and her girlfriends could hang out and feel save. But at arrival I saw action near the entrance at the restrooms side, Catalayas girlfriends were going crazy. Kade came in with me planing to meet me there, I didn't want it to look too obvious as to why I was there in the first place. Emily came running past me, they were all trying to get into the women restroom. At first I wondered what the fuck, do girls go crazy when they wanted to urinate or was it just them. Like what the fuck was wrong with them, they were literally crying. Were the need that high? but then I heard her piercing scream. My little kitten were in trouble, I didn't think. I just reacted and kicked down the door. Everything went deathly quite as the scene played out right infront of me, kittens eyes filled with fear and angst and this little motherfucker not even hearing the door break down, to fucking busy trying to rape my little kitten. I lost all of my senses as I ripped him off of her and started beating him. I wanted to kill him so fucking badly, haterd filled me in the blink of an eye. I let him have it all, every single motherfucker who ever broke her heart and hurt her ,flashed infront of me. Until her touch made me stop, I didn't want to scare her even more. She started crying and I picked her up, held her to me, comforting her. Fuck what I wouldn't do for her, I carried her out. As Kade stood there, there were no need for words he understood. And he knew I would do the same thing for him, he told me he had my back like he always did. But as we made our way through Emily came bursting in one earring missing, shoes gone,hair a fucking mess a tasergun in the one hand and a baseball bat in the other. Fuck what were she planning to do, what were she doing looking like that in the first fucking place . My little kitten burst out laughing, and I knew we were wondering the same exact same thing. So I couldn't help it, I burst into laughter to. On our way home, I stayed quite. There wasn't much to say. I felt like a hurricane inside of me, I almost lost her tonight I knew she wouldn't have been the same after.She wouldn't let me touch her or kiss her, so as we made our way into my place. I just stood there and let the feelings and emotions of the evening come flowing back. I experienced anger, pain, fear like nothing I ever did before. She looked at me and I saw my whole entire future in her eyes, our children, our lives, our love even our grandchildren all wrapped up in one person. The fear of losing her crippled me to an extend where I had no idea what I would do without her. So I voiced my fear my deepest darkest fear, my only fear. Losing her.

Catalya P.O.V

A year ago

"Come here your whore" Jason yelled at me. He loved to call me that when we went out and some of his friends were looking at me. I got severly punished if another man looked at me, which caused me to completely change my style. I never wore revealing clothing anymore,and never did my makeup. Yet, I always got punished, I was never allowed to talk to another guy. And whenever we were around his friends, I had to look down talking to him. It weren't always like this, in the start of or relationship he was respectful, loving and caring. He always opened up the car door for me, and I fell inlove he always reminded me of how lucky I am to have a guy like him. And at first I believed him, he worked hard and I was so invested in us. I wanted to make him happpy in all the ways he made me happy. I made him my entire life, at first he didn't want me to go out with my girlfriends. Scared I might get hurt, and it made me feel like he truly cared about my well being. So my girlfriends would come over to his place, then it became the next thing. He didn't like my friends, so I barely spoke to them. Only at college when we were in class or after class grabbing a coffee. He didn't like the way my stepfather hugged me, so I stopped going home. He isolated me from my friends and family, and I didn't see the warning signs. It's true that love is blind, he wanted me to drop out of college stating that he would provide for me. He started to pick out my clothes, and my whole wardrope changed. Everything about me started to change, I was already shy and introverted because of my past.So as time progressed it just became worse, he made me move in with him after Cassidy's murder because he was afraid for my safety. We got engaged and then it all turned worse, the beatings started. And so did the lies I lied to my friends and family, then came the way he spoke to me. It all changed, I became a completely different person. I rarely went out, and when I did I had to cover up the bruises. He took pride in the bruising, stating it's his mark. A lot of people asked me why I stayed, well because I loved him. I truly believed I did, I were use to abuse but I truly believed I could change him back. Until I found him in bed with one of my best friends, he once again told me it was my fault. A day before our wedding, And for years I did believe him. I did believe that it was all my fault, after every beating he would apologize and tell me it's my fault I turned him crazy for such a long time I believed his lies. Working late, taking him dinner and he wasn't there so he would get angry and defensive. For 2 whole years I believed him, until that day. I walked down the aisle and infront of everybody gave him back his ring, of course he felt humiliated and embarrassed and for the first time I let everybody see who he truly was. The man behind the facade of charm and confidence. I let them see, how he treated me. My stepfather and Keegan were so angry, I thought Keegan might kill him in church that day. I woke up screaming, like I did every single night having nightmares. Tonight I had one of him calling me a whore again, and me being back there with him beating me. I woke up crying and shaking feeling breathless, hopeless and defenseless like something heavy was pressing onto my chest. Opening my eyes I saw Keegan, he was cradling me, whispering to me. He held me close to him, I grabbed onto him fisting his shirt into my hands. He kept on whispering sweet nothings in my ear, until I calmed down. He played with my hair while I laid on his chest just holding on to him, as if he was my life line. "Why did you ever start dating him in the first place, while I have been there all along?" His words came out strangled, as if he didn't know how to ask the question. "I guess that in the beginning things weren't that bad, it was great actually.He was charming and had this incredible extrovert personality,he made me feel desired and good about myself. But it was all a lie, and I didn't follow my head I followed my heart." I heard the beating of his heart and it calmed me down." He was different from you Keegan, your complete opposite" I saw a small smile as I lifted my head." Well fuck, I'll take that as a compliment" I started smiling because it's true. He was different in so many ways. "He was charming, you're sort of a well how can I say this, an asshole?" He started chuckling. "He loved people, you hate them" now he started laughing. "He was also a woman abuser and I am crazy about you and will never hurt you." Keegan stated with a small smile, he tilted my head back up towards him and gave me an extremely soft kiss. I opened up for more access as our tongues started moving into a steady rhytm.
