                                 Malakai's POV

My blood started boiling after she said the first sentence. After she said everything she used her hands to cover her face. I moved so I could sit behind her. She curled up into a ball and hugged my left arm.

"Mally I-I can't do this!"

"You can. I know you can."

"I can't!"

"You can. You got yourself out of there. You can do this."

"Malakai they ruined my life!"

"Then ruin theirs."

"I don't have the heart to do that!"

"Then your brother and I will."

"But you didn't see anything. You didn't hear anything."

"Then I'll make something up."

"No! I can't ask to you commit perjury! I can't lose you!"

She's right.

I can't do that.

I started playing with her hair.

"I was doing better!"

"I know baby. I know."

"Your parents are going to look at me differently."

"No they won't."

She started covering her ears.

"Ma-make it stop!"

"Make what stop?"

"Them! All I hear is them!"

"Make it stop! Make it stop! Make it stop!"

What just happened?

She just calmed down.

"I don't wanna hear them!"

I started holding her tightly.

"Make them stop talking!"

"What are they saying?"

"They're saying that once everyone knows what happened they'll leave me. No one will believe a word a say."

"Okay that's not true.  No one will leave you. Everyone will believe you."

"I don't want you to leave!"

"I already promised you I won't! What can I do to make you believe me?"

"I need more than your word. I need actual proof."

"Okay than! Let's work on getting you your proof!"

We did that. We did what we had to do to get married. We didn't do a huge thing. It was just us,Seth,Adrian,my parents,Hannah,Elizabeth,and the guys. We were no longer living with my parents. We started living in the house that Seth let us use. I figured out what we wanted to do job wise. Rose is still trying go figure that out. She said that it's okay to let her be alone sometimes. I don't do that often but we're working on it. One day Rose was on the phone. After she put her phone down she started pacing around the living room.
