1437words
"You're going to pay for this!" Melissa screamed next.
Handcuffs were secured tightly around my wrists before they roughly sat me up. I saw Lynn try to get to me but an officer held her back.
"You're under arrest for assault," the officer told me.
"Micky!" I turned my head and saw Lynn's dad walking toward us before he slapped the officer on the back. "There was no assault done by this man," he stated as he pointed at me.
Relief filled me but my confusion was stronger. This guy seemed to fucking hate me and now he was stopping me from getting arrested.
"Gene, I have to arrest him," the officer stated.
Lynn's dad sighed. "The only one who should be arrested here is him," he pointed down at Jason as I moved my eyes over to him. Jason was unconscious and covered in blood. "He punched Lynn."
The officer cursed beneath his breath before he walked over to Lynn and grabbed her chin as he turned her face this way and that. I didn't like his hands on her and tried to stand up but the other officer pushed me back down.
"Don't fucking move," the other officer snarled out.
"Does it hurt?" He asked Lynn softly.
And I couldn't stop the jealousy from coursing through me. He was touching her and speaking to her in a way that made me question how they knew each other.
"I'm fine, Micky, but can you please uncuff my boyfriend? He was just defending me," Lynn said. "Your boyfriend?", Officer dickhead turned to me and stared into my eyes.
" I didn't peg you to be into tatted up muscle heads," he stated as he leaned down to be eye-to-eye with me. "What's your name?"
I gritted my teeth and tried not to be smart with the officer. I was trying to get uncuffed, not put into the back of his squad car.
"Drake Hudson," I gritted out.
"He's a pornstar!"
Me and the officer both whipped our head over to Uncle George standing there with two beers in his hands. He was buzzed up for sure and not helping the situation.
"A pornstar, huh?" The officer asked. "Is he good to you, lynn?" He was staring into my eyes but the question clearly wasn't meant for me to answer.
"He's amazing," Lynn stated as she stepped up behind the officer and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I've never been more happy."
The officer stood up then and stared into Lynn's eyes. They didn't say a word to each other and the jealousy was sucker punching me in the gut. I didn't like how he was looking at her and how she was looking back at him.
"Release him," he stated over his shoulder but never took his eyes off of lynn. "We'll be in touch."
The hell you will, I wanted to say, but didn't in fear that he might keep me cuffed. The other officer bent down and took off the cuffs that were digging into my wrists before I jumped to my feet and nearly shoved the officer out of the way to get to Lyn. I cupped her face and kissed her lips lightly.
"Are you okay? Jesus, I don't know what came over me. I saw him punch you and I fucking lost it."
She let out a small sobbing-giggle and nodded her head. "I'm fine, Drake."
I wouldn't take my hands off of her as we turned to look at the officers. I looked around for Melissa and saw that she had left the party and was now standing over by the squad cars talking on her phone and waving her hands wildly.
"I still need to get the story straight here," officer dickhead stated.
Lynn's dad stepped forward as I watched him nervously. Her dad hated me and if he wanted meout of Lynn's life, this would be the perfect time to do that. My heart started to pound with anticipation.
"It was all his fault," he pointed toward me and I felt my heart sink. Fuck. But then I realized he was pointing past me, not at me, and I turned to look at Jason still lying on the ground. He was slowly coming to. "He punched lynn, as I said, and Drake defended her."
The officer looked between me and Jason. "You really did a number on him."
I shrugged. "Well, I just couldn't help myself when he punched her."
"I would have done the same," he laughed.
And I couldn't help but feel like we were old buddies or something. It was like an inside joke but he was on my side and that's all I needed right now. When I looked over at her dad, he no longer had a scowl on his face and gave me a single nod. I may not be his favorite person, but it was clear that I was no longer hated either. It was a start.
"Cuff him, boys," the officer instructed as he pointed down at Jason. "I'll need to grab a statement from you, lynn. That is if you want to press charges."
"Hell yeah, she does!" I answered for her and the officer nodded at me.
Lynn laughed and nodded too. "Yes, I want to press charges. I'd also like to put a restraining order on him and Melissa. I don't want them anywhere near me."
"I can make that happen. I'll be right back." He helped the other officer drag Jason's body away as we turned to her family.
"I'm sorry for ruining your party, Daddy," Lynn said.
"Awe, lynn, don't apologize." He went up and hugged her. "I'm sorry I didn't ask them to leave. I just..."
She sniffled. "I know. You wanted to get to know your grandchild and this was the only way to do that."I almost forgot about Conner and started looking for him. I felt a little guilty that I just destroyed his dad right in front of his eyes but he was nowhere to be found. Fuck.
"Aunt Sue brought him inside the moment she knew something was about to go down," Lynn's mom answered my unspoken question as I let out a breath of relief. Will, Lynn's cousin, came up and offered me a beer.
"Looks like you could use one of these, brother." He slapped me on the back. "You've done what we've all wanted to do for years."
I wanted to smirk at that but I just couldn't. I peered over at Lynn as she stood with officer dickhead and gave him her statement, but when they started to laugh at something, I felt the jealous anger bubble up in my gut again.
"That's nothing," Will stated.
I blinked and chugged from my beer. I was really trying not to let my jealousy get the best of me but I was failing miserably.
"Micky has been in love with Lynn since high school. He just wasn't fast enough before Jason got her. He's a good friend, man, don't think anything else about it. Lynn would never do that to you and I can assure you that she would never choose Micky. He's been good to her but lynn has never felt that way toward him."
He could say anything he wanted, but until I heard those words from lynn, I was going to feel sick to my stomach.
.As I finished my beer, the officers wrapped up their business and finally left.
The party was starting to get back into full swing and while the women doted on lynn, I drank with the guys. My hand was throbbing and my jealous and anger was taking over. Three beers eventually turned into doing shots with Will and Uncle George and then my head began to spin.
When lynn came over and wrapped an arm around my neck and kissed my cheek, I stood up away from her. I didn't want her to touch me. I couldn't explain it, but I was fucking pissed and ready to start another fight. I couldn't stop my emotions from igniting and the booze definitely wasn't helping. I wasn't this jealous guy and I hated that it was taking over. I need to fucking get out of here.
I stormed towards the house and went inside to get away from the party. There has to be a spare bedroom where I can crash for a little while because I knew if I didn't, I would fucking lose it. I need to sleep this shit off.
