A/N: I only own Devin.
spicegirl, feeling lucky, Devin, & KityKat-1- thank you all for reviewing!
Zeke POV
I was sitting in the emergency room with Paul. Heath had done a number on him and he needed stitches in a few places. He got done and was given pain killers before we left. I got him into the car and started back to the hotel.
"Can you stop and get me some food?" he asked me.
"No." I said and he looked at me strange.
"Why not?" he asked me.
"Because, you don't deserve any kind of nice gesture at this moment… you hurt Devin, Heath, and who knows who else because you don't think before you speak. I hope that she never forgives you." I snapped at him and he turned to look back out the window.
We got back and he went to his room; I went to Beth's room because I was told to when I got back. I knew that they were still looking for Devin when I left with Paul. I knocked and Stu opened the door. I saw Heath and Beth sitting next to Devin on the bed. She had bruises on her and was wrapped in a blanket.
"Where did you find her?" I asked Stu.
"Shawn found her in Shane's room." He said and I nodded. Devin was staring at the floor and not moving.
"How did he get her in there?" I asked and Phil shrugged.
"I walked in there." She said and we all looked at her.
"Why?" Beth asked her.
"I wanted to make all this stop. I was going to talk to him and it didn't turn out like I thought." She said as Heath wrapped an arm around her.
"Is Paul ok?" she finally asked and looked at me.
"He has some stitches, some bruising, and a dislocated rib." I said and she nodded.
"You didn't hit him hard enough." She said to Heath and we laughed at her.
Devin POV
They all finally went away later that night; I knew that they cared about me, but I was fine. Well, I thought I was fine… I really wasn't. I had no idea what to do about Paul, I had almost been raped because I was stupid enough to go in there, and everything else was spiraling out of control. I really wanted to see Paul.
I showered and Beth smiled at me as I came out of the bathroom.
"I'm going to go see him." I said and she nodded.
"You need me to go with you?" she asked me and I shook my head no.
"I don't suppose I will be long either." I said and she nodded.
I grabbed my keycard and walked down the hallway. I knocked softly and a few minutes later and black and blue Paul opened the door. He looked at me with shock in his eyes.
"He got a hold of you, didn't he?" he asked me and I nodded.
I knew that I had black eyes, bruised cheek, and busted lip. He slowly pulled me into the room and I saw all the bruises on him. I saw the bandages covering the stitches, the bruises, and the wrap around his torso for the rib.
"I came to see if you were alright." I said and he nodded. I could feel the tension between us and I hated it. We weren't comfortable anymore.
"I'm not, but I'm sure that you can see that." He said and I nodded slowly.
"How are you here?" I asked him as I pressed my hand to his chest and motioned to his heart.
"I don't know… it hurts. I never wanted this much drama between us. I never imagined that it would get this bad and I also never thought that my friends would be hitting on you." he said and that hurt.
"So… what do you want?" I asked him, but I really didn't want to hear the answer.
"I need time, Devin." He said and I nodded.
"Fine, you let me know when you want to talk." I said and he started to say something, but I walked out.
I walked down the hall and knocked on a door; the person opened it and smiled at me.
"Hey, you ok?" they asked me.
"I don't think we are going to make it." I said and Heath pulled me into his arms. I didn't know why, but I was comfortable with him. He had stuck up for me against Paul, even when they were friends, and he was always nice about everything.
"I'm sure he will come to his senses." He said and I shook my head as he helped me sit on the bed.
"I don't know… he said that he didn't want the drama, he didn't want you all hitting on me, and he didn't want to get hurt." I said as I felt tears sting my eyes. Heath pulled me to him.
"Well, then he should date a robot and not a incredibly hot girl." Heath said and I looked at him.
"Why did you kiss me that night?" I asked him as he ran a hand through his fiery red hair.
"Honestly… because I wanted to… I hate that Paul got to you first. I think you are incredibly smart, cute, and nice." He said and I couldn't help but smile.
"You always know what to say." I said and he smiled at me.
"I just tell the truth." He said and I smiled.
"I think that you are nice, not bad looking either, and are a true gentleman." I said and he smiled at me.
He got ready to respond when someone knocked on the door. I looked at him and he went to see who it was. He turned and motioned for me to be quiet.
"It's Paul, you want to hide in the bathroom?" he asked me and I smiled as I walked in there and quietly shut the door.
Heath POV
I opened the door once Devin was in the bathroom. Paul looked at me and I really didn't know what he wanted.
"Can I come in?" he asked me and I moved to let him in.
"What?" I asked him.
"Look, I'm sorry to jump to conclusions… I just didn't like seeing your lips on her." He said and I nodded.
"I understand and I told you that it was a mistake." I said and he nodded.
"I got that, but I don't know what to do. I want us to be friends, but at the same time I want Devin. I don't think that I can have both." He said and I sighed.
"Why not? I am not going to make a move on your girlfriend." I said.
"Ex." He said and I knew that Devin was listening. I knew that her heart was breaking and she didn't deserve him.
"Why ex?" I asked him.
"Because all she has is drama." He said and I was getting annoyed again.
"You do realize that it's not her fault that she has a crazy person bothering her, right?" I asked him.
"I don't know… maybe she brought it on herself." He said and I clinched my fist.
"Get out, before I hit you again. You are stupid, selfish, and I'm glad she is your ex, because you don't deserve her." I said and he looked shocked.
"So you are choosing her over me?" he asked me and I shook my head no.
"No, I'm not choosing anyone… I just won't stand here and let you hurt someone else. I won't let you hurt her because you have idea with no proof." I said and he shook his head.
"Whatever." He said and stomped out.
I went to the bathroom door and slowly opened it. Devin was sitting on the side of the bathtub. I sat next to her and got ready to say something when she leaned over and kissed me.
