It was drawing near to the night time; Hadlynn was laying gracefully in her unmade bed. She was staring up at the ceiling. She stroked her stomach as she focused on her emotions. A lot was going on, and it wasn't going to get any easier. Now, Hadlynn was engaged to her baby's father. Still, she had Jamie stalking her every move. Suddenly, Hadlynn home phone began to ring.
"Hello," she said, a hint of exhaustion filled her tone. She heard laughing on the other line.
It was Jamie. He sounded so smug and content with himself, "Howdy, Hadlynn. How's everything? I'm sure it's better now that I'm around. Anyways, you know there always some type of reason for me showing up."
"Jamie, please, just leave me alone. This is really creepy, okay?"
Another laugh escaped from Jamie's end of the phone. Hadlynn closed her eyes and tensed up as she heard it. "I heard that your little boyfriend is now your fiancé. Well, for now at least."
Hadkynn sat up quickly, panicking. "Please, whatever you do, don't hurt Ryan. Please, just don't hurt Ryan." She tried to fight back tears.
"I'm not going to hurt him, but you are. I guess I didn't make it clear when I said you're mine. You can only fraternize with me. You cannot marry him. I want you to call him right now on your cellphone and break it off. Don't try anything funny. Do it!"
A week quickly passed after what Jamie forced Hadkynn to do. She rejected all visitors, except for when Noble would stop by. His obsession was getting stronger and stronger. It was almost like an addiction. Hadlynn never noticed. She spent everyday since the incident staring out the window of her bedroom, thinking of nothing. She said nothing. She did nothing.
In her state, a burst came through the apartment's door. The person, or people, came over to Hadlynn bedroom. She remained still. If they hurt her, she wouldn't care at this point. The force lifted her up, facing her in its direction. It was Ryan and Roman.
"What the hell is going on with you, huh," Roman asked, it was more like shouting actually. Concern was visible all over his face. Hadlynn just looked down at the ground. "You called off your engagement out of nowhere, you won't talk to anybody, and I guarantee you aren't taking care of yourself."
Ryan inched over, pulling Hadlynn into his arms. He whispered loud enough for both parties to hear, "Something is going on here. Baby, tell me what's doing this to you."
Hadlynn sat quietly for what seemed like hours. Roman sat at the foot of the bed, covering his face with his hands. Roman continued to hold her steadily against his body. She finally spoke up. "He won't like this. I'm all his, nobody else's."
Roman lifted his head up from his massive hands. He turned, locking his eyes with hers. "Who is he? I thought that you and Ryan were together."
Hadlynn sat there, silently. She knew that she messed up bad. Jamie was going to kill her for that. At this point, she didn't care. This was her life he was taking, and she didn't want to have that. She turned, facing Ryan. "Let's get married at the court house. Tomorrow."
"Is that what you want, baby," asked Ryan, smiling as he said it. "I'll give you anything you want. I'm down."
"Roman, can you bring Seth and Dean with you tomorrow when you come? I don't want them to spill it to the whole locker room." Roman nodded his head, hugging her as he got up to leave. "Be there by 8 am! I'll see ya!"
"Roman, why did you drag us the the courthouse this early," Seth said, adjusting his sleeves back to being rolled below his elbows. He dressed to impress, always. Roman had the same look, but Dean had jeans and his button down. "Honestly, what's going on here."
"Roman wants your ass in jail for hurting Hadlynn," Dean said as they walked up. Seth rolled his eyes.
Roman sounded stern, almost fatherly. "Both of you better cut that shit. We're not doing this today, got it?" The men nodded opening the door. The header down the long hallway to a courtroom at the very end of the hall.
Ryan jumped to greet them, shaking hands with all of them. He had a pajama set on that matched with his black converse. They all gave a confused look. "Look, just get the hell in there. We have a solid 5 minutes before the next couple goes."
They men sat in the front left pews, staring in Rusns direction. The door to the room opened to reveal Hadlynn in her yellow pineapple pajama shorts with a matching long sleeved bottom down pajama top. Her curly hair was bouncing as she walked. She had white converse on and a white veil on.
The two signed a form in front of an old judge, kissed, and laughed together. Roman clapped while the other two men sat there. Dean stood up, asking, "did you guys just get married?" The couple nodded. "So now, Lynns, you're..."
"Hadlynn Lucille Nicole Baxter," she said with a wide grin. "It's got a real catchy ring to it, am I right?"
All the men laughed in both happiness and disbelief. A 19 year old, about to be 20, just got married to the man fathering her baby after being kidnapped. Where is MTV with a reality show when you need it? Anyways, they all hugged and took a few pictures. It was worth it to be together as a group.
