Can Love Last?
I Don't Fear You Anymore, How Do You Think I'm Alright?
Alex's POV
Wiping the blood from my face, I run out of the bus and help Alan tackle Martin to the ground and call security before realizing that Arianna's here too, passed out on the ground.
"Alan, you got him?"
"Yeah, Alex. Go make sure she's okay, she just blacked out as soon as she saw him."
Martin's raving on the ground, yelling all these awful lies about Arianna and Rian. He's trying really hard to break out of Alan's grip, but for such a little dude he seems to be pretty strong.
I turn my attention back to Arianna. She's stirring a little. I hold her in my arms, elevating her head. She wakes with a start, crying and thrashing in my arms.
"Shhh, Ari baby it's okay. It's okay, it's just me Alex. You're alright. He won't hurt you anymore."
She's crying, and I can't make sense of a word she says. As security takes Martin away, Alan says he'll go with them and grab Austin so they can figure out what happened. She still won't stop, and I realize she's having a panic attack. Shit!
I quickly call Rian and just tell him to haul ass down here. He doesn't argue it, just hanging up and probably sprinting down here.
"Alex? What the fuck happened to Arianna?"
"Martin."
"What the hell is that son of a bitch doing here?"
"I don't know, he's with Austin and Alan at security. She passed out when she saw him, and as soon as she woke up she started having this panic attack. I don't know how to calm her down!"
"I've got this. You head to security, you know what happened."
At first I want to protest, but when I see the look in Rian's eyes, I know it's for the best. I kiss Ari on the forehead and jog to security. This should be interesting.
Arianna's POV
No no no no no. Martin can't be here. I can't deal with him! Everything's been so wonderful. When I feel arms around me, it just sets me off. They seem friendly, but it just all makes me remember the horrible times with Martin. Whoever it is is holding me tight, and I want to love it but I just can't right now. When Rian finally arrives, I feel better.
"Ari, sweetie, it's okay. Martin won't hurt you. I'm here, Alex was here and he'll be back. We love you."
It was Alex. He truly is amazing. "I-it just hurts Rian. Make it stop." I cry into his chest.
I hear him give a cry of anguish.
Rian's POV
Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop.
I've never been able to make it stop. I've always tried so hard for her, but I can't. I can't make her nightmares disappear, no matter how much I want them to. When she hurts, she hurts. And I hate it.
"No Rian I'm sorry. You can't, I know. It just hurts. I love you, and you love me, and that's all I need right now."
I do, Arianna. I do love you.
"Okay hon. Lets get you back to the bus, hopefully Alex will be back soon."
