When I got to the house, I went to the front door and knocked quietly. Marie opened the door and stared at me with shock. "Will? What are you doing here? Where are the kids?"
I collapsed to my knees as I cried and shook. She rushed to follow and hugged me while rubbing my back.
"Let's go inside," she whispered before aiding me to my feet and bringing me in. She brought me to their living room and to a couch. I quietly groaned with pain and attempted to sit down normally. "Are you hurt?"
I shook my head slightly, "have you talked to him?"
"Who? Ean? He's in Dubai." I glanced to her and the confusion on her face intensified. "Jayden? No, not for a while now. I mean, other than planning the proposal, I don't talk with him personally. Why, did something happen with Jaydan?"
I began crying again and nodded, "Marie, I need your help. But you can't tell Ean. At least not for a few days."
"What happened Will?"
"First, can I use your phone? Then I will know what to do next."
"Uh, sure."
She handed me her phone and I called Chase. The phone was quickly picked up. "WILL?!"
I choked as I cried more, "it's me." I sniffled, "is everyone okay?"
"We're all fine, Will. Where are you? I've been trying to call you! It's been hours!"
I trembled hard, "don't call my phone anymore. I don't have it."
"Where are you?"
"I'm with Marie."
"Is Jayden with you?"
"No, but he'll notice I left soon enough." I took a hard breath, "is Elijah there?"
"Yeah, hold on."
There were a few sounds before his voice came across, "Will, thank God."
I wiped my face, "I need to get out of here, Elijah. He'll come here soon."
"I'm getting the kids in the car and we are coming over. We have to get to the airport immediately after or you will all miss the flight."
"Okay." I hung up before handing back the phone, "thanks."
Marie took the phone but her face didn't lessen with worry, "what is going on Will?"
I looked away from her, "I'm leaving Jayden."
"What?! Why?!"
"He's marrying someone else and didn't tell me."
Her hands turned to fists, "that bastard!" She hissed, "how can he do that?!"
I shook my head, "the kids and I are moving to get away from him."
"When? Where?"
"Our flights in a few hours. We're..." I paused and watched her. She's the wife of Jayden's friend. Can I tell her? "Marie, I want to tell you, but you have to promise to not tell anyone."
"Not even Ean?"
"He's a friend of Jayden's."
She sighed, "alright, I promise not to tell anyone."
"California."
Her eyes became wet, "but that's so far away! I won't get to see you and the kids!"
I took her hand, "I can't forgive what he has done, Marie. And I know he won't stop using our bond to control me. We have to run."
"He's a pig," she growled. "When Ean finds out, he'll give Jayden what he deserves."
A knock came to the door and my entire body rattled in fear. Marie rushed to pull me to my feet and led me to a closet. She gestured for me to go in and I quietly did. After shutting the door, my legs gave out in fear as I shook and cried. Marie quietly walked to the front door and opened it.
"Can I help you?"
"Is Will here?"
Marie paused, "why would he be here?"
A deep sigh was let out, "I'm not with Jayden," a familiar voice stated. There was a long pause and I heard a car door open and shut.
"Chase," Marie sighed before there were a few sounds and the front door shut. I wanted to get up and run to Chase, but my legs wouldn't move. When the door of the closet opened and I saw Chase, I cried out loudly in relief.
"Will," Chase whispered as he dropped to his knees. I clung to him as I cried harder and listen to him whisper reassurance in my ear.
"Let's get him up," Elijah said as I noticed him looking at me in fear and worry. Marie was crying as she watched me struggle to my feet with both men aiding me.
"Oh my God," Chase gasped as I refused to look back to him. "Marie, do you have a first aid kit?"
"Yeah," she replied before rushing off.
"We need to get you seated." Chance and Elijah aided me to a nearby table and Marie quickly came to us.
"You're hurt?" I averted her gaze and Chase opened the kit. He took out some items before standing behind me.
"Will, put your head down." I turned slightly and gave Chase a look of fear, "its okay."
I leaned my head down and heard Elijah hold his breath. Marie cried harder and kneeled to hold my hands.
Elijah suddenly moved behind me, "hold on," he whispered. I heard a click, "I'm taking photos for evidence."
Chase began working on my neck, "you might need stitches," he whispered and I felt his hands shaking.
I looked to Marie and wiped her face of tears. "Could I ask another favor?" She nodded and I gestured for her come closer. "Do you have any birth control? If you do, I really need two of them."
She looked at me in pity before nodding and getting up. I heard a few noises from another room before she came back to my side. Chase tapped my should as she finished and Marie handed me a glass of water and two pills. Looked at them, but startled everyone as I slammed them onto the table, shot to my feet, and pushed my way past Elijah. I ran to the nearby small bathroom and threw up into the toilet. All that came up was his cum, more than I remember going down my throat. I trembled and wrapped my arms around my torso but was distracted when Chase suddenly came in. He stared at the toilet, then at me, and then to the toilet again.
I got up, went to the table, and took the meds. Chase had slowly followed me as I went back and stood quietly. "We need to get going," Elijah whispered and I nodded.
I turned to Marie and hugged her, "thank you for everything, Marie."
"Call me when you are settled. I won't tell."
I kissed her cheek, let go of her, and went to the car. I got into the passenger's seat as Elijah got into the driver's seat, and Chase got in the back.
I smiled to the twins as they looked to me with excitement. "Momma!"
I smirked, "hey babies!" I averted the gaze of Chase and Emit, "are you ready to go on a vacation?"
"Vacation?!"
I nodded to Ashley, "did I surprise you? I even got Elijah to help with it!"
"Yay!" Archer cheered as I fought to keep a grin. I turned around and played the radio. I made sure the kids couldn't see me as I began shaking and crying. I looked down and noticed, when the sleeves of my jacket slid down slightly, that black and blue bruises wrapped around my wrists. I rushed the cover them and shook harder.
