changes - v.c pt 2

You revealed a pistol that you had been carrying with you since the shooting and pointed it straight at Greyson. Your face went stone cold, ready to do whatever it took to protect Vada.
Vada gasped and writhed even more to get away, immense fear flooded her eyes. All of the memories of her being in the hall during the shooting came flooding back to her.
"I will fucking kill you without hesitation, Greyson." You pressed the muzzle of the gun to the side of Greyson's skull, keeping your finger hovering over the trigger.
-
Greyson's eyes widened and took a step back but you took a step forward keeping the gun pressed firmly to the side of his head. You looked back down at Vada, your heart breaking when you see her large brown eyes staring at you in fear, reflecting with tears. You noticed Greyson still holding onto her arm.
"Did you not understand what I said?" You snapped.
"You won't kill me." Greyson smirked, tugging at Vada's arm once more.
"Are you sure about that?!" Your voice rose, your finger flirting with the trigger of the gun.
Greyson snickered, which drove you insane. You lowered the gun from the side of his head, keeping it firmly in your hands. You couldn't kill him.
"Told you, Pussy. Now get lost." He kept the grin on his face while he wiped the side of his head where your gun once sat.
You deadpanned at him, keeping your face cold.
"You're right, I won't kill you." You rose the gun just slightly and pulled the trigger, the bullet going in contact with his foot. Vada squealed at the loud crack of the gun and curled up into her knees. He quickly released Vada and let out a scream while holding his foot.
"I never said I wouldn't shoot you..." You mumbled as you watch him cry out in pain.
He backed up with a limp as you approached him. "And if you ever think to come near her again, I will shoot to kill." You spat. "Oh, and if you tell a soul about what happened, you are a dead man."
Greyson limped as fast as he could to the car and quickly peeled off, leaving tire tracks in the road. You tucked the gun back in the seam of your pants. You looked down and noticed Vada cowering in the grass and you frowned.
"Vads, I'm sorry..." You reached out to touch her and she flinched. "I won't hurt you, I promise." You gently put your hands under her and lifted her up bridal-style, holding her tightly against you as you brought her back to your car. You set her down in the passenger seat and put her seatbelt on before going onto your side. As you walked back to the driver's side, you thought a million thoughts of what you were going to say to Vada.
Vada was quietly crying when you got into the car. Her body facing away from you towards the window, curled up in the seat.
"Vada..." You reached out to rub her back gently and she tensed up. "Please." You begged for her to at least look at you, the guilt was eating you alive knowing that you had most likely just sent her into a flashback with the gunshot.
Vada turned her head towards you, tears were free-flowing down her face. The side of her cheek was already starting to bruise where Greyson punched her.
"A gun, y/n?! A fucking gun?" She cried more. "Why the fuck do you have a gun?!" She shook in her seat, desperate for your explanation.
"I got it after the incident, I was fucking scared, Vada. I couldn't bear knowing I couldn't protect others or myself." You frowned. "I'm really fucking sorry, but I needed you safe."
She kept her eyes locked on you silently, unsure what to say, still shell-shocked.
"Just take me home." She mumbled.
"Vads, you know I can't do that..." You sighed quietly while starting the car.
"He will come back for you. I'm not leaving you alone." you added.
The ride back to your house was silent, just the noise of the tires on the road echoed through the car. A few stray tears escaped your eyes silently as you drove, Vada facing the window. You pulled into the driveway of your house and put the car in park.
"Please don't be afraid of me." You begged. "I-..." You sighed, not wanting to explain yourself when Vada wouldn't trust you again anyways.
You helped Vada into your house, she looked around taking in the familiar scent and scenery. You held her hand as you brought her into your room.
Vada looked around the room as if it were going to be different. But to her surprise, she noticed that on your bed lived the teddy bear she had gifted you. It wore a shirt with her writing "I love you" scribbled on the front. Her eyes darted to the other side of the room and your small desk had her small belongings, jewelry, and scrunchies. All untouched from the last time she was here. Her eyes filled with tears and she just started sobbing as all of the memories came flooding back.
"Hey... I'm here." You pulled the girl into a gentle hug and her eyes wetted your shirt. "Talk to me, Vads."
The girl went from being silent to screaming. "I needed you!" She wailed. It felt like a knife went through your heart. "I needed you and you just let me go like you didn't care!"
"I was bad for you, darling." You tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. "I couldn't have you wrapped up in that." You frowned, pulling her in closer to you.
"We needed each other..." She mumbled against your chest. "We were good for each other, we could have fixed each other... " She sniffled, bringing a hand to wipe her face, she winced at the pain on her cheek when she touched it.
You pressed your lips to the top of her head, tears streaming down your face. You felt immense guilt, knowing that if you had stayed with her, Greyson would have never had the chance to do anything to her. She would have been safe with you.
"Let's talk about this more over a hot bath. Sound good?" You managed to fake a smile even though on the inside you felt like you failed her.
-
You started up a hot bath for her, dimmed the lights, and plopped in her favorite bath bomb which you always kept in stock, even after you broke up. You went back to the room and led Vada to the bathroom, closing the door behind you.
You gently grabbed the bottom of Vada's shirt to help lift it off. She quickly moved your hands away from the hem of her shirt.
You put your hands back at your side, frowning slightly. Vada used to be so comfortable with you even before you two dated, but now was weary. You kept your hands at your side, respecting her wishes. "I'm sorry." You mumbled, feeling more embarrassed than ever.
"Please... don't be upset with me." She played with the hem of her shirt while looking down at it as if she was hiding something.
"Why would I be upset? If anything it should be the opposite right now." You raised an eyebrow, not understanding what Vada meant.
"Because of this." She lifted her shirt above her head and threw it to the side. She stood there in her bra and shorts. You gazed at her confused at first, then your eyes met her stomach which you quickly realized was covered in bruises.
"Did he..?" You bit your lip and clenched your fists, attempting from unleashing the anger pent up inside.
"I'm sorry I didn't leave sooner." She frowned, eyes welling up with tears. "I didn't even like him, I hoped he would make you jealous and..." She shook her head and let out a cry.
You took a few deep breaths before unclenching your fists.
"Never, and I mean never, apologize for what that asshole did to you." Your mind raced with all the possibilities of what you could do to him to make him suffer. All you wanted to do was release your anger, but you didn't want to frighten Vada even more than you already have today.
"Let's get you in the bath." You said softly, helping Vada take off the rest of her clothes and assisting her into the tub.
You were lathering Vada's shoulders gently with a loofah when she turned her face to look at yours.
"Do you still love me?" Her pupils were dilated in the dim lighting, and the low reflection of brown from the light was making your heart melt.
"... I never stopped." You admitted, your cheeks flushed pink, but the lights made it hard to tell. Your heart was pounding out of your chest.
"Me either." She also admitted. Her eyes panned to yours and gazed lovingly into your eyes. She slowly moved her face closer to yours.
You felt her breath against your lips, her eyes peering down at your lips and back at your eyes. You've never wanted more than to kiss her at this moment.
"Can I...?" You whispered.
She nodded silently. You gently pressed your lips to hers, moving them slowly in unison with hers. You caressed the non-painful side of her cheek, fireworks were igniting in your chest.
The kiss was slow and passionate. You haven't felt this much happiness in months, but you could not stop from thinking about Greyson, and how badly you wanted him to suffer.
You will get your revenge one way or another.
