Bray's Point Of View
We pulled up to Mike's apartment building, I wasted no time getting out of the car. Not even waiting for Baron to stop the car before jumping out. I ran into the building, climbing the stairs to Mike's apartment. I started banging on the door.
Come on, open the damn door!
After a few minutes of banging on the door still no answer.
"Maybe, they aren't back yet?" Baron offered.
"He's probably just not answering. Because he doesn't want me to get Ivy back." I growled, still banging on the door.
One of Mike's neighbors opened the door. "He doesn't live there any longer." The older man said.
What?
Oh, no how am I going to find her now?
"How long has he been gone?" I raised a brow.
"He left about a week ago." The man stated.
"Do you have any idea where he went?" Baron questioned.
"I don't know, you might want to ask the landlord in the morning, it is 1:30 in the morning." The man said, looking at his watch.
"Thank you, sorry to wake you." Baron nodded, watching the man shut his door. "Come on let's go."
"We aren't going to find her tonight, let's head to your place, and wait for the landlord to come back in the morning, he might know." Baron sighed. "come, before someone ends up calling the cops." Baron said, shaking his head.
"I can't go home with out Ivy." I shook my head, how can I leave without my Ivy.
I sighed and shook my head, realizing he was right, there wasn't anything I could do right now. I shook my head and followed Baron out of the apartment building.

Ivy's Point Of View
I looked around, not understanding where we were. "What are we doing here?" I questioned looking over to Mike.
"This is my new place." Mike said, looking over to me. "Come on, it's so much nicer then my old place. I'll show you around." Mike smiled.
I bit my lip and nodded, climbing out of the car, following Mike up the walk-way. Into the larger, nicer building. He was right, so far it was a lot nicer then his old place. This seemed like a much nicer, more upscale place. I followed Mike up to his apartment. Mike opened the door, and allowed me to walk in front of him, then walking in shutting the door behind him.
"So much better then my old, shit hole huh?" Mike smirked, leaning against the door.
I nodded, wrapping my arms around him. Fear suddenly creeping in, as it hit me. I was alone with Mike, I couldn't help worrying what he was going to do to me. He told me I ever tried to leave him again, he'd kill me. Was he going to do it? Why did I do this? What was I thinking?
"Are you okay babe?, you look scared?" Mike raised a brow, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Umm." I bit my lip, shrugging.
"Don't be scared of me, I've changed." Mike insisted. "I've taken anger management classes, I'm not the same man I used to be." Mike swore to me.
"I don't know, maybe I should go. I shouldn't of left the pool hall." I shook my head.
"Please, just stay tonight. and in the morning, if you want to still leave, I'll take you where ever you want to go." Mike said.
"I guess, just for tonight." I sighed, knowing I didn't really have anywhere else to go. Maybe Mike was being truthful, he'd gotten help, maybe he's really changed.
"Great, you can take my bed. I'll sleep on the couch." Mike smiled. "You can sleep in one of my old shirts." Mike added.
"Thank you." I smiled, walking into the bedroom and taking one of his shirt to sleep in.

Bray's Point Of View
I slammed the door behind myself. He hadn't left a forwarding address, he'd just disappeared. He's gone, and he's got my Ivy with him. How could this be happening. "I've got to find her. Who knows what he's doing to her now." I shook my head, letting out a sigh.
"Look, I'll start checking around, I'll see if I can find out where he's moved to." Baron sighed.
"Yeah, just relax, I'm sure we'll find her." Erick said.
How can I relax?
My beautiful Ivy, is with an abusive madman!
"We've got too, I have to find her, I've got to make things right, and I've got to get her away from him." I shook my head. "Before he hurts her."
I sighed when there was a knock on the door. I saw Erick stand up off the couch, and walk over to the door, opening it. I looked over to see Luke standing in the doorway. "What are you doing here?" I raised a brow.
Why would you show your face?
"I was just coming to see how things are." Luke said, shrugging.
"They are horrible." I rolled my eyes, shaking my head.
"What's wrong?" Luke questioned, stepping in the house.
"Ivy left." I shook my head.
"Oh, that's too bad." Luke shook his head.
Like you aren't happy!
You've wanted her gone from the beginning!
"Don't act like you aren't happy she left." I snarled.
"Look, I know I haven't been super supportive, but no matter what you think. I don't want to see you hurt." Luke shook his head. "And it's obvious, this hurt you." Luke added.
I shook my head, walking out of the living room, heading to my room. Needing to be by myself right now. I didn't want to deal with anything right now, especially Luke.

Mike's Point Of View
I smiled as I shut the door to my room, after checking in on Ivy, she was still here. Thank goodness, this worked perfectly I've got Ivy back, and she's staying here. I don't care how long I have keep up this good guy act, I'll do it as long as I can keep Ivy with me. And away from the son of a bitch Bray Wyatt.
I walked over to the door, when I heard a knock on it. I opened the door and saw Summer. I smirked as I allowed her to enter. "It worked like a charm." Summer smirked.
"It sure did, I've finally got my woman back." I smirked.
"So, she's buying this good guy act?" Summer raised a brow.
"She sure is." I smirked.
"Who would of thought, all it'd take was a few drops of my special love potion to get Bray, so out of it. He didn't realize it wasn't Ivy, until it was too late." Summer smirked.
"I'll have the rest of your money in your account by noon, you should go now. Ivy's going to be waking up any time, I don't want her to see you." I said, looking at the clock on the wall.
"It better be, later. Have fun with your precious Ivy." Summer said, grabbing her purse heading back to the door. "I hope all this was worth it, because there isn't any going back now."
"Oh it is." I nodded, shutting the door after Summer walked out. I turned around to see Ivy standing in the door way, changed back into her dress. "Hey babe." I smiled, walking over towards her.
"You and Summer were behind this?, this was all apart of your plan?" Ivy shook her head. "Bray didn't kiss her, it was just part of your plan, I can't believe I fell for it." Ivy shook her head, walking towards the door.
"Look, I know it looks bad." I shook my head, stepping in front of her. "I had to do something to get you back, I love you babe. I did it for you, because I can't live without you babe." I said.
"I can't believe I let you make me believe this. I've got to find Bray." Ivy attempted to walk past me, but I grabbed her arm. "Mike." Ivy whined.
The hell you are going to find him!
I won't lose you again, damn it!
"You aren't going back to him, you are mine." I growled, in her face. "I won't let him have you, I lost you once. I've got you back and I won't let you leave me EVER again." I flipped her around, slamming her to the door.
"You said you changed." Ivy whimpered.
You trying to leave me isn't going to allow me to change!
"I tried, but you trying to leave me, that isn't helping." I spat, slamming her back to the door this time harder, when she tried to push me out of her way, and tried to escape through the door.
"Ahh." Ivy yelped, when her head hit the door. "Please, Mike. You're hurting me." Ivy struggled against me.
"Stop trying fight me, so I don't have to hurt you. I love you babe." I said, running my finger along her cheek. "Do you think I want to hurt you?, NO. I love you if you just give me a chance to show you, I'll show you things will be better this time." I said, running my hand through her hair gently.
Ivy bit her lip, looking down she nodded. I knew it, my Ivy was still inside. Bray may of thought he had her, but she's still mine. I took her hand, pulling her to me. I wrapped my arms around her, lowering my lips to hers. Finally I had her back, I could finally hold her, and kiss her.

Bray's Point Of View
I sighed, as I looked at my phone, I was waiting for a phone call from Baron, he was looking into Mike's finances, seeing if he could find out where he'd moved to. It's been two long torturous days, without Ivy. I was beyond worried for her. Who knows what's been going on, with her and Mike. I just hope I get to her soon, I can't stand the thought of someone harming her, and that's what I'm scared of, Mike right now harming her.
I looked over to see Luke walking out of the hallway. He'd moved back in, he said he needed a place to crash for a few days, until he could get his own place again. I decided to let him, I am not in the mood to argue or think about anything other then Ivy.
"How are you doing?" Luke questioned.
"How do you think?" I rolled my eyes, standing up I walked out of the living room. I walked back into my room, seeing the night shirt Ivy liked to sleep in, I picked it up. Placing it under my nose inhaling, breathing in her scent. It smelled just like her, god I missed her so much. I have to find her, I just have to. I'm not going to stop until I have her back in my arms. What I wouldn't give to climb into that bed, and wrap my arms around my beautiful Ivy. I miss her so much, I can't wait until I can touch her, hold her, and kiss her.

Ivy's Point Of View
I was laid out on the bed, trying to sleep, I was so tired. I didn't sleep much. Not with wrist cuffed to the bed, it was uncomfortable and it hurt, my wrist was rubbed raw. But after I tried to leave once again, last night. Mike said he wasn't taking any chances and locked me up, chaining me to the bed, and locking the door to the bedroom, just incase.
I rubbed my face, my face still stinging from last night when he beat me. God what did I get myself into? I should of known better, Bray isn't the kind of man who would hurt me in that way, how did I fall for it? What I wouldn't give to be in Bray's arms again.

Luke's Point Of View
I sighed as I took out my phone, dialing Mike's number. I listened to Mike talk about how happy he was, he finally had his woman back. He said she isn't to much trouble now, that he put her in her place. I can only imagine what he's done to her. I told him how upset Bray's been, he said it's Bray's loss and his gain. I shook my head I really hated seeing Bray like this, he was so heart broken over Ivy. I've never seen Bray so upset over anything in my life.
I wish there was something I could do or say to make him feel better. But I can't, Ivy is better off without him. and Bray is better off without her. So what's done is done and I can't do anything to change it now. Right?
If I tell him, about what I did, he'll never forgive me. He'll disown me for sure. I am finally back with my family and I can't let anything ruin that. Even if it WOULD make Bray happy, and finally bring him out of this funk he's in.
I looked over to the hallway, it was Summer she was carrying her things to the truck with the help of Erick, she was leaving she told Bray it was best if she left, she didn't want to cause any more problems for Ivy and Bray if Ivy comes back. After she apologized of course, she blamed it on her being drunk. I shook my head as I saw her walking out the door. So Summer must be happy and got her money if she's leaving. Good riddance Bray needs to keep his mind off women, get back to the old Bray, if that's possible.

Mike's Point Of View
I walked back into my room, I saw Ivy was sleeping peacefully on the bed. I walked over to the bed climbing in under the covers, right next to her. I snuggled up to her, draping my arm around her. I heard her yelp when she turned slightly to me. "Wrong's wrong babe?" I raised a brow, running a finger up and down her arm, as I placed kisses on her neck.
"My wrist." Ivy whispered, looking to her wrist that was cuffed to the bedpost. "It hurts." She added.
"If you didn't try to leave, I wouldn't have to do this babe." I sighed, shaking my head.
"Can you please un-cuff me for a while?, please I promise I won't try anything." Ivy looked up to me.
"You promised me that already, and you tried leaving again. Last night." I shook my head.
"Please Mike, it hurts so bad." Ivy shook her head, biting her lip. "Just for a little while, at least while you are in here?" Ivy looked up at me, her eyes pleading.
"Fine, for a few minutes." I sighed, going over to the dresser on the other side of the room, and grabbed the key, walking back over and unlocking the cuffs, allowing her to move her wrist freely.
"Thank you." Ivy said softly, rubbing her wrist.
"You know I don't like having to lock you up in those cuffs, but I have to do what I have to do, to keep you with me. You mean more to me then anything in this world." I shook my head, reaching forward to grab her and pull her into my arms. "I'd much rather have you able to roam around freely, hopefully before too long, I'll be able to trust you, and you can be free, without these cuffs." I wish I didn't have to lock her up, but what choice did I have?, Ivy tried to leave me again, I just got her back, I won't lose her again.
A Note From The Author: Here is Chapter 16, I hope you all enjoy it. Do you think Luke will admit to Bray what's happened?, It seems like it's starting to get to him. Do you think Ivy will continue to try to find a way to get out?, You know Bray isn't going to give up until he finds Ivy. Overall what did you think of the chapter? Thanks for all the favorites, follows and reviews. Also thank you for taking your time and reading!
Reviews= Love!
WWESpongefan- Thank you for reading, and for reviewing. I think Ivy was hurt, but at least now she knows, it wasn't Bray. She was caught up in the moment, seeing him with another woman it had to hurt. She wasn't thinking rationally, but who does when they are hurting? Hopefully Bray finds her fast, and they can work through this, and maybe work on trust it seems. Thanks again :)
takerschick- Thanks for reading and reviewing, I hope you enjoyed the update. I know I'm not to fond of Summer, in this story either. But hopefully Bray and Ivy will be reunited soon, and they can work on their relationship. Thank ya again! :)
DarkFireDemoness- Thank you for reading, and for reviewing. I know not a good ending, but hopefully soon Bray will find Ivy and they can forget all about this bump they hit in the road. Thanks again for reading :)
