Mr. & Mrs. Impossible!

Chapter 7

As soon as I was up, I called Junior. “Hey, did you make it?” he sounded a little amused.

“Yeah, I’m here.”

“Good, I’ll be there soon. Just leaving for the airport.” He told me.

“Okay.” I paused for a while and then spoke. “You didn’t tell dad, did you?”

“Nope.” I sighed in relief until he spoke again. “But Brandon dropped by… you should call him.”

“Oh.” Was all I could say. I totally forgot about him! “Alright. See you soon.” I hung up and thought for a little while. What will I tell Brandon? He’d be mad but it wasn’t my fault was it?

Slowly I dialed his number and breathed a lot of air in as I waited for him to pick up. “Hello?”

“Brandon, it’s me…” I bit my lip, hoping he wont hung up.

“Ari?” to my surprise, he shouted. “God! Where are you?”

“I’m coming back in the morning…” I smiled, hearing the concern in his voice. So he wasn’t mad. Good! “How’s Luke?” I asked remembering why he left Vegas at the first place.

“Yeah, he’s okay.” He paused for a while. “So… I heard the news…” my heart crashed. This was what I was dreading.

“Brandon, it wasn’t me. He used me. I didn’t even know how but he got me drunk and the next thing I knew—”

“Shh.” He cut me off. “I know. We’ll talk about it later when you come back. Okay?”

“I’m really sorry Brandon.” My voice cracked.

“Don’t be, okay? I know it was him. Should’ve known the look in his eyes when he first looked at you.” I could hear him say it through his teeth. “You just don’t worry, I’m here for you.”

As much as I wanted myself to believe he wasn’t hurt, I couldn’t. Because maybe he thought he was okay with it but I knew he wasn’t. Who would want their girlfriend to get married to a stranger like this? “I know…” I whispered, unsure of how to react.

Before we both hung up, I heard him. “Ari, I love you.” And the line went dead. I stared at the phone for more then a few minutes until I forced myself up and went for a bath.

It seemed like ages since I bathed or changed my clothes. I felt dirty. Dirty by Chase’s deed! I’ve known the guy for just one day and I couldn’t take him, how was I supposed to spend the rest of my life with him!? He ruined me, my life and everything! I couldn’t face my boyfriend of three years because of him! I don’t know what I’d tell my parents just because of him!

As the water ran down my body, I felt myself burning in a relaxing way. If he thinks he can get away with it, he’s wrong!

“What the hell happened to you?” Gage was lying on the couch, with an ice bag on his head. Without hearing him, I looked ran to the rooms, one by one looking for Arianna. I still couldn’t believe she ran away.

“She’s not here.” Gage called out. “Told you she ran away.”

“Ran away! But how?” I shouted at him, stepping in front of him and the television. “I thought I told you to look after her!”

He sighed in frustration and took the ice bag off his head, revealing a nasty purple bruise. “This is how.” I just stared at him and the bruise. Things weren’t settling. “You’re wife hit me.”
