Mystic Falls: Beginnings

9

It was a beautiful July morning when everything would change. Drew and I had planned to go out to breakfast before starting our daily chores on the ranches but I had not heard from him. I knew he was at a bachelor party the night before, so I decided to go wake him up after getting ready.

I drove the truck my uncle gave me several weeks ago to his house and knocked on the door. His mother let me and we talked for a moment before I headed upstairs. I loved his family, well all of them but his brother Marcus. Marcus was always hitting on me and trying to get me alone. I felt uncomfortable and unsafe when I was around him. Drew knew about it and made sure to keep me away from him when he could.

As I walked upstairs, my stomach felt uneasy. Something inside of me was telling me to run, but I ignored the feeling and walked to his room. I knocked on the door as I opened it and just stood there. There he was butt naked in bed with my cousin. They were both asleep and as I looked at them I felt the tears fall down my face. I ran down the hall and out the door. Drew's mother Sandy heard me and asked me what was wrong, but I ran out of the house and back to my truck. I drove home and made sure no one saw me as I made my way back to my room and began to pack. I left Mia a note and one for my aunt and uncle on the bed, then left.

"You cheated on mom," my son Caleb said with hurt in his eyes. I looked at my family as the bomb shell was dropped and the emotions on their faces killed me.

"My turn to talk, love," Drew said as he grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

-Drew's point of view for now-

I went out the night before with the guys. My cousin Kyle was getting married the next weekend and we decided to go out and have fun. I was drunk off my ass and my uncle George was driving us home. He dropped me off and as I walked to the house I noticed someone I the barn. Normally, no one was in the barn that time of night so I decided to check it out.

As I stumbled towards the barn I felt like I was going to vomit but I was able to hold it in. As I walked in I saw Mia and I asked her what she was doing.

"It's okay big boy," as she approached me.

I stepped back as she got super close.

"Let me help you."

"No," I said as I fell and landed on my butt. I began to laugh.

"Come on Drew. Let me make sure you make it to bed safe."

I let her help me and as I stood up I threw up. Mia screamed but I didn't care.

"Seriously Drew? You got it on me. Gross."

"Sorry."

Mia led me back to the house and up to my room.

"Lets get you cleaned up."

That was the last thing I remember until I woke up to my screaming. I sat up and looked at my mother who was screaming and I rubbed my eyes. I felt someone move next to me and looked over and there was Mia. I jumped back and landed on the ground.

"What the hell," I said as I grabbed my head.

"Both of you get dressed now and come downstairs," she said with an angry tone.

"Mia get dressed," I said as I grabbed a pair of shorts from the floor.

"Do you have any clothes? You puked on mine."

I stood up and walked over to my dresser and grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I tossed them to her and then grabbed clothing for me. As I walked to the bathroom, I grabbed my pants from the night before. Once I was in the bathroom, I dug my phone out of my pocket and texted Sheryl.

'Hey. We need to talk.'

As I waited for her to reply, I went pee, brushed my teeth and got dressed. I could shower later.

Mia was sitting on my bed looking at her phone when I got out of the bathroom.

"What happened last night?" I asked as I stood in the doorway.

"Exactly what you think," she said as she stood up and headed for the door.

"I won't marry you. I love Sheryl."

"That's what you think."

I followed behind her as we walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I could hear voices and I knew my life would never be the same. The woman I loved was lost to me.

My father and mother were in the kitchen talking when we walked in.

"Sit down," my father said, and he did not look happy.

As we all sat down at the table, everyone but Mia did not have a smile on her face.

"Sheryl was here this morning and she left crying. I called your dad, Mia, to check on her and see if she was okay. She left here crying and drove off like someone was going to kill her."

"f**k," I said as I ran my hands down my face. My heart broke and I wanted to run after her.

"Apparently that's what you were doing last night, Drew."

"I don't remember."

"I don't care what you do and don't remember. You have been found in a compromising position and you two will be married by Friday."

"Hell no," I said as I clenched my hands together.

"As long as you live under my roof you will marry her. You're lucky that the cops have not been called. She under age "

"I'd rather go to jail then marry her," I said.

Mia gasped and before anyone could say anything, her father walked in.

"She is gone."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"She packed her stuff up and left. She left a note for Mia and I in her room."

My heart broke.

-Will Drew marry Mia? Thoughts below. Another chapter later today but not to many left. This book is ment to be a short one.-
