I wanna save you

"Are you ok?" he ask me
"Yeah." he was looking at me with sorrow in his eyes
"What?" i ask
"You're bleeding...." he says softly and i realize that my shirt has blood on it and my hands are covered in blood. He holds out his hand and helps me stand up then he walks me to the bathroom.

I see that my lip is starting to swell, my nose is bleeding along with my eyebrow and my eye looks worse. My eyes water Dan hands me some toilet paper i use it to clean up the blood from my nose it stops bleeding after a few seconds. Neither of us say anything i want to tell him thank you but i can't, the words just wont come out. I can't even look him in the eyes i just stare at the floor for a few seconds before checking to see if my nose is still bleeding He finally ends the silence

"So..do you want me to call the cops."
"Huh?"
"You need to do something about this, you can't just let him get away with this." i nod
"Ok I'll call them." he says and walks out the door I stand inside the bathroom for a few seconds before leaving to the front of the bus
"They said they'll be here in a little bit."
"Ok." i sit down and he sits next to me i can't stop shaking. My knees feel weak and my face is pounding.
"Do you want me to call Lexie or Zoe?"
"No its ok."
"Do you think you need stitches or anything?" i shake my head "No" i hear somebody walking through the door it's Adam.

"What happened?" he ask with a shocked look in his eyes i don't say anything
"I was outside and i heard yelling and saw David kicking somebody on the floor so i come to see who it is and its Miranda."
"What?...where the fuck is he?"
"I took care of it." He says
"Are the police coming?"
"Yeah."
"Are you ok?" he ask
"Yeah." i don't look at either of them i just stare at the floor after a few minutes of just total silence i hear people outside talking Adam looks out the window.
"The cops are here." Adam walks outside while Dan stands up and leans on the counter. Adam comes back in with an officer it's a tall male officer around 40.

"Hi I'm officer Smith." he says he has a raspy voice
"Hi." Dan shakes his hand
"Hi." i say softly I stand up and see there is another officer standing in the bus doorway
"Do you want to do this outside? its crowded in here." i ask
"Yeah that would be better." he says I walk off the bus
"What exactly happened?" he ask i notice the other officer is around 30 he is a little bit shorter
"I told my boyfriend i didn't want to see him anymore and we got into an argument."
"Ok." he started to write it down
"Then what?"
"I said something about him not being much of a man so he smacked my head."
"Ok." he wrote that down
"Then what?" the other officer asked
"I asked if that made him feel good about himself he said yes and then punched me....I punch him back and then he starts hitting me more."
"Hitting or punching?" officer smith ask
"Punching....then he pushed me and i fell and he started kicking me."
"Where?"
"The ribs and head."
"And then he starts punching me again before Dan came in." they asked me what his name was, where he would be, if he's hit me before and how long i think he hit me for. I didn't notice that the other officer has left until i see him come back with a guy in handcuffs its David i can't even look him in the eye.

He put David in the back of the car and walks over to the other officer.
"I found him over there talking to some guys." he says pointing toward somebody else's bus
"Ok are you sure that's him?"
"It's him." i say
"Ok." the other officer looks at Dan and says lowly to the other officer
"He said wants to press charges against Dan for that assault earlier."
"Ok." officer smith says and heads towards Dan
"what? why is he going to do that?" i ask
"He said if you press charges against him that he's going to press charges against Dan and that was all." i look over and see officer smith handcuffing Dan. I realize that Dan will never be able to make it to the show tomorrow. Tears fill my eyes as i come to a decision that i know i will regret.
"Let him go then."
"What?" the officer ask surprised
"We have to play a show tomorrow and i know he doesn't want to miss it." i tell him
"Ok....Smith let him go!" he yells and officer smith un-cuffs Dan while the other officer lets David out of the car.

"What? why is he out of the car?" Adam ask
"She decided not to press charges."
"What?!" Dan and Adam ask at the same time
"If i don't press charges he's not going to press charges....you have a show tomorrow and i know you don't want to miss it." i say not looking up. Officer smith walks with tony onto the bus as David gets his stuff.
"Don't ever come back here either!" somebody yells and i notice there is a small crowd i fell so ashamed, so embarrassed this is the worst feeling in the world.
"If i see you again I'm beating the shit out of you!" somebody else yells i hear David ask the officers to wait while a taxi come for him. I walk back inside the bus Dan and Adam fallow it was only a minute or two and then he left I hear Zoe's laugh outside and then her and Lexie walk in.

"What happened?" they ask simultaneously
"David." is all i say
"Did you call the cops?"
"Yeah." Dan says and explains everything. They both come over and hug me tears fill my eyes they are just making this worse.
"I'm tired so I'm gonna go now." Adam says
"Bye." i say in an almost whisper he hugs me and leaves
"Can i talk to Dan alone?" i ask they both nod and leave
"I just wanted to say Thank you." i tell him as a tear falls down my face he doesn't say anything he just hugs me, I never want to let go but i pull away.
"Where'd you get that hickey?" i ask seeing it on his neck
"Oh Gwen we're together now."
"Oh." as if this day couldn't get any worse.
"I'm tired...i'm just gonna sleep." i tell him
"Ok goodnight."
"goodnight." i went to my bunk and cried myself to sleep
