Save Me

***Keeley’s point of view***
“Hey G. How’s it going in the hotel room?” I asked taking another sip from the bottle. Telling Pat and Jon wasn’t the smartest thing but I knew they wouldn’t stop until they found out the truth. They would probably rope the other boys into it, if I hadn’t said anything. I half listened as Geno told me about something Sidney had done while they were out to dinner. Hearing Geno’s voice on the other end of the phone and the Vodka calmed me down a bit. I laughed as he finished his story. “You’re bored aren’t you?” I asked my words were starting to slur a little bit by this point. “You drink?” I heard him ask. I wasn’t hammered but I was a bit buzzed. By the time I finished the bottle in front of me I may be though. “Yeah, you’re favorite.” I laughed. “You drink Vodka!” He screamed into the phone. “Calm down I’m safe. Peekaboo and Johnny boy are taking great care of me.” I said taking a long sip of the liquid. I heard him sigh. “Go see what Sid or one of the other guys is doing. I’ll be back by lunch tomorrow.” He mumbled a “be safe” before he hung up. I sighed and pulled his sweatshirt closer to my body trying to keep the cold out. I must have been sitting out on the balcony for a while because I had finished the bottle and Kaner had come to get me. He led me back to the living room and sat me down on the couch.
“Keel, Kaner and I talked and we don’t feel comfortable with you going back to Pittsburgh and staying with Justin. You aren’t safe there. Have you talked to anyone on the Pens about this?” Johnny asked grabbing my hand.
“No. I think they think that something is going on but they haven’t asked about it and I haven’t told. They don’t even know where I live. It’s mostly because I’m ashamed of the place and I don’t want them to meet Justin. You guys have to promise not to tell anyone about this! I mean it! Not even any of the guys.” They both sighed but eventually shook their heads and mumbled a promise. I knew they weren’t comfortable with it but it wasn’t like I could just drop everything and stay in Chicago. That would cause more problems than it would fix.
After the boys promised not to tell anyone I went and got ready for bed. “Boys, don’t freak out when you see me. Okay?” I called from the bathroom. I had changed out of my clothes and into a t-shirt of Patty’s and a pair of Johnny’s sweat pants. I had my hair in a messy bun and had taken off all of my makeup. My face was covered in bruises and the one I had gotten from Jordan earlier looked the worst. I walked back into the living room and waited for their reactions. As I expected they were shocked. Keels, why didn’t you come to us sooner? We could’ve helped you.” I could tell the boys were shocked and mad. “You guys are all the way in Chicago. I don’t want to be a bother. I can handle it on my own.” Johnny got up off the couch, “You can handle it? Are you fucking kidding me?” He yelled coming close to me. “You’re covered in bruises but you think you can handle it. You obviously can’t.” I flinched at his words. Pat put himself in between Jon and I. I grabbed the back of his shirt and tried to fight the urge to cry. Johnny was right, I couldn’t handle it. Once I got back to Pittsburgh I was dumping Justin. I’d just have Cooke, Bortz or Talbot come with me. Justin wouldn’t be dumb enough to do anything with one of them there. Kane got Jon to go to his room so it was just him and I left in the living room.
“You know he means well. I think that this was just a bit much for him. You’re his baby sister and he feels like he failed you. Hell both of us feel like that. You needed us and we weren’t there for you.” I watched as a tear rolled down his face. I gently wiped it away. “You can’t help if you don’t know what’s going on. Let’s go to bed.” I grabbed his hand and led him into his bedroom. I crawled into bed and under the covers, Pat did the same. He pulled me close and I laid my head on his bare chest. This was the first night in a long time that I could fall asleep and not have to worry about anything happening.
