We both jumped up and lunged for each other again. This time I kneed Mark in the balls and he fell the ground.
I ran over to Hailey and checked to make sure she was ok. "Hales are you ok?" I asked touching her bruised face.
She shook her head no. I gave Hailey her clothes and then wrapped the blanket around her so that she was covered.
I slid one arm under her legs and the other around her small waist picking her up.
Hailey whimpered in pain as I stood up. She wrapped her arms around my neck and cried on my shoulder.
"I'm gonna take you home now so we can get you wrapped up and cleaned, ok?"
Hailey looked up at him, "Yes. Thanks you for saving my life Morgan."
I got Hailey out of the house and back to mine. Cora helped me clean Hailey up and get her dressed.
After Hailey was dressed again and had on fresh clothes I watched as she just sat on the couch curled in a ball starring out at nothing.
It was like she was in a trance of some sort. Like she shut herself off from the world.
I wanted to go to her but was afraid of how she would react if I touched after what she went through today.
CH. 8 Everything Falls Apart
{Hailey's P.O.V.}
It's been a week since I almost got raped by Mark. When my mother found out what Mark tried to do to me she told me that I had asked for it.
Evernight for the past week I have waken up sreaming, gasping for air, shaking all over and crying from the horrible nightmares.
Morgan would come running in my room to wake me up and then sit in the chair next to my bed until I fell asleep again.
I wanted so badly to tell him it was ok to comfort me, but I didn't want to burden Morgan with my horrible past.
I didn't know what to do because I was still afraid of getting my heart broken again, but I think it was already too late for that.
I slowly kept pushing everyone I loved away from me.
It was the only way I knew how to deal with the pain.
As the days went on I was either with Cora or stuck in my room listening to music.
Eventually Morgan started to distance himself away from me at school and at home.
In my heart in knew Morgan was keeping something from me, but I didn't know what.
When I thought things would get better they only got worse.
When I mean worse, I mean Morgan hanging around the head slut cheerleader, Amanda. She had long blonde hair, green eyes and a slim body.
Amanda was the one person besides Gabe that had made my life a living hell. So far the one person I could count on was Cora.
Then eventually my life went back to the way things were before I met Morgan, but at least I had Cora to hang around with.
I walked down the hall with my hood covering my face and of course my headphones in my ears.
Cora followed next to me like she has been everyday for the past two weeks since Morgan started hanging around Amanda.
We stopped by my locker so I could put my things away when I caught a glimpes of Amanda kissing Morgan.
Cora looked at me and followed to see what I was looking at.
"You know he's a jerk for not realising what he's doing to you Hailey. I even hate Morgan and he's my own brother," Cora said hugging me.
"Thanks for not giving up on me Cora. I know you didn't have to stay friends with me even after I pushed you away," I said trying not to cry.
Cora smiled, "Well for one thing, I'm not my brother and secondly, I know what it feels like to think noone cares about you."
I closed my locker and Cora linked arms with me so we could go eat lunch.
As we walked by Morgan and Amnda were still sucking face in the corner.
Maybe it was good that Morgan didn't feel the same way I do about him because that would hurt worse knowing that someone likes you, but they are with someone else.
Only Cora knew how I felt about Morgan because she had figured it out.
When Cora and I got to the lunch room I headed straight for our table.
All I had to do was get through the rest of the day.
Cora sat some food in front of me to eat and then took the seat next to me.
As we were eating our lunch in peace I saw Morgan head our way.
I looked down at my food to keep my gaze away from Morgan as he got closer to our table.
Morgan got to the table and looked at Cora.
"I won't be home till later tonight so here are the extra keys to the house," Morgan said tossing the keys to Cora.
"Does it look like I care what time you come home? It's not like you care about what happends with Hailey or me? All you care about Morgan, is your little slut of a girlfriend Amanda!" Cora spat at him.
I quickly looked up at Cora to see that she was really upset and angry with him.
So I grabbed her hand tighly to let her know that I was here for her unlike her brother.
{Morgan's P.O.V.}
After hearing what Cora said to me in lunch, about how I didn't care what happend to her or Hailey, I wasn't even shocked that she said that.
I knew that I deserved that. The hardest part about all of this was that Amanda was black mailing me.
Amanda told me that she knew Hailey liked me and that if I didn't go out with her or do what she wanted then she would tell the whole school that Hailey had a dirty secret from her past that I didn't even know about.
I wanted to tell Amanda that I didn't care what she told the whole school of this secret, but then I realized that I didn't know if this serect was even a real one or if she was just lying to me.
I knew Hailey was going to hate me after this, but I didn't want Amanda to make things worse.
Then I thought about how I was actually making it worse for her not Amanda.
Before I left the lunch room I caught a glimpse of Hailey's face.
My heart ached at how much pain I was putting Hailey through.
All she did was stare at me while she held Cora's hand tightly.
I couldn't take much more of this lying to my family and friends.
Maybe if I stay away from Hailey long enough then she might move on.
I finally got home about midnight after going out.
I was glad that I had the whole weekend to relax.
When I unlocked the front door I saw Cora coming down the stairs.
She looked like she was really stressed out about something.
"What's wrong Cora?" I asked following her to the kitchen.
Cora grabbed a glass cup from the cabinet filling it with water and turned to look at me.
"What has happend to the brother I used to know cause the one I'm looking at right now isn't him," Cora said sadly.
I took a deep breath, "I'm still that same guy Cora. Why would you think otherwise?"
Cora stepped closer grabbing my hands in hers, "Morgan your my older brother and I love you, but whatever secret you have been keeping from us these past few weeks needed to come out."
I pulled my hands away from Cora and turned my back to her.
"Morgan your hurting Haiely by pushing her away. This secret or whatever it is you're keeping deep down is eating you up insdie. You are hurting her more than this serect ever will. Hailey is slowly losing grip on herself and I don't know what else to do and her nightmares aren't helping either," Cora whispered.
I just stood there in silence as Cora went back upstairs with the glass of water that must be for Hailey.
If I didn't man up and tell Hailey the truth then I know I would lose her forever and I that's not somwthing I want to happend.
After getting something to eat I headed off to bed. I needed to thinks of a way to tell Hailey what is going on.
I just hope that she'll listen to me. So the best time to tell Hailey was in the morning.
I slowly climbed into bed after stripping down to just my boxers.
Even if Hailey didn't want me anymore I could live with that, but I couldn't live with the fact that I was causing it and did'nt stop it.
The next morning I decided to tell Hailey everything hoping she can forgive me or at least be friends and talk to me.
