Roadtrip

Izzie’s POV
Waking up in Brian’s arms had been strangely comforting and confusing at the same time. I was still mad at him and I knew that him holding me had nothing to do with him having feelings for me, but I needed him. Even after all that had happened, I still felt safe when I was with him and I needed the comfort of someone holding me. That kiss had been a mistake though, it made my heart jump and long for more, and I knew I was never going to get it.

We had been on our way out to ask around for Mia some more, when two officers stopped Matt in the lobby. They were just on their way to give us the latest update... that they still hadn't found Mia. I listened to Matt talking to them and discussing what we could do, a side of me wanted to ask about the numbers, how many people were found after they got abducted, but the other side said I didn't want to know. I put my arms around my body, hugging myself, I didn't know what to do with myself, I needed Mia to be fine and with me again. I was looking for some kind of reassurance that everything would be okay again, but for now there was no one who could give me that guarantee. I glanced over to Brian who was standing next to me, he hadn’t left my side, ever since I came back and I was grateful for that. Even though I didn’t want to get in to the whole falling for him thing again, I wasn’t able to fight all of that too, I was too busy staying sane over Mia being gone. I caught him looking at me too and as soon as our eyes met, he turned away quickly with a slight blush on his face. I shook my head, I didn’t get it... and this wasn’t the time to get into it and figure it out... How did we become so awkward? How did this become so confusing?

Matt’s phone rang and he stopped the officer “It’s my friend, they are looking for her too”, the officer nodded and Matt answered the phone. I listened in closely, did they find her?
“Hi Zack.... No... You?..... Where are you now?.... We ran into the police in the lobby of the hotel, they didn’t have anything new either.... Yeah...WHAT?! We’ll be right there!”
The expression on Matt’s face changed, and he already headed for the door, looking over his shoulder “They found her! Only 3 hotels from here, Star hotel!” We all started running the street, rushing over to the hotel, the police officers following us quickly.

After what seemed to be a lifetime, we saw the entrance of the Star hotel and rushed in. I blinked my eyes at what I saw there, a lot of hotel personnel stood on the side, looking helpless, while Zack was on Josh’s back, holding him, with one hand on his mouth, Josh was struggling to get out, and a few feet from all of that was Jimmy, holding Mia like he never ever wanted to let her go.
“MIA!” I rushed over to them, Brian still on my heels. She got out of Jimmy’s arms and turned around, just in time for me to get a hold of her
“Honey, what are you doing here?” We both started crying as soon as we hugged each other
“I had to, you were gone” She nodded and held on to me, I was so happy to have her back again, to be back again.
“I’m never leaving you again, you can’t take care of yourself when I’m not around” I laughed through my tears and she backed away from me a little to smile at me too.
“Are you hurt babe?” I looked at her bruised face as she replied
“Not anymore honey, I will be fine, I got everything to be fine again” She smiled at me as she held out her hand for Jimmy to got a hold of, then she pulled me to her again and whispered in my ear “What’s up with Brian?”
She was fucking the only one who was still busy with my lovelife, just after she was abducted. I turned around to see what she meant, Brian was standing behind us, a little lost, staring at his feet. I shrugged and Mia stepped forward to give him a hug “Hey Brian”
“Happy to have you back again” he said to her softly.

“Mr. Evans you are arrested on the charges of stalking and abducting, you have the right to remain silent, everything you say, can and will be used against you in the court of law... You have the right to..”
We all turned around to see Josh get arrested, he looked at Mia with a hurt look on his face “My love, are you going to let them arrest me? I love you! You love me too!” Jimmy put his arms around Mia protectively and Mia just stared at Josh as the police took him away. Mia let out a deep sigh as tears start to run down her face again “He will be out in no time” she said quietly.
“No he won’t” I said, clenching on to her hand “We got Olly on our side now”

Another officer came our way “Miss, you have to come to the station with us to make a statement”
“Can we do that tomorrow? I think we all need to have a nice quiet afternoon and night to get to ourselves again” Matt said, joining us.
The officer nodded and turned away from us, leaving us 7, together again.

Mia’s POV
“What was that for?” Zack looked at me frowning, I had punched his shoulder, hard.
We were on our way back to the hotel.
It took us not long, but we were all tired after the action, me especially.
“Because you risked your life, for saving me, you idiot. You could have gotten hurt.” I looked Zack in the eye and leaned towards him, kissing his cheek, he blushed a little.
I grinned when I saw that, “Oh come on, I saved your life and you hit me? Oh by the way, don’t you’re want to think about your choice again now… I mean I was the one taking that risk not Jim-” Zack began and I felt Jimmy tense up behind me.
“Oh Zack, you really don’t know when is the time to shut up?” Brian turned towards us also grinning.
“Too early for these jokes?” Zack asked lifting and eyebrow at Jimmy but he didn’t react, he relaxed a little and kept playing with my hair.

We walked to the lobby together and we all stood at the elevator, I saw Matt glancing at me, he moved towards me, putting his hand on my cheek, again Jimmy tensed up.
“Don’t man, she is hurt.” Jimmy got between us but I shook my head.
“It’s okay Jimmy.”
“Are you also hurt somewhere else, should we get you to the hospital? Is it… is it needed to get to the hospital?” Matt asked and I was really thankful for his concern and I knew that everybody wanted to know what happened in the time I was apart, but all I wanted was to forget and have Jimmy by my side and no one else, all the others had to wait.
“No, I am okay. I just need some rest… I know you all want to know what happened, but I really can’t, I just need a bed and some time alone.”
In the corner of my eyes I saw Jimmy and Izzie open his and her mouth to protest but Jimmy closed it and let his shoulders slump down while Brian put his hand in front of Izzie and whispered something in her ear and she nodded finally.
“If you don’t want me to be around me, I mean, I can… maybe Matt or Johnny could stay when you rest.” Jimmy finally suggested.
I widened my eyes at him and the elevator doors opened for all of us to get in.
“What?” I asked him more than a little confused.
“I think Jimmy didn’t get the memo that you meant alone, in alone with him.” Zack helped the situation.
“Oh.. OH!” Jimmy’s eyes locked with mine. “How could you even think that?”
“I’m confused.” He shook his head but a small smile formed on his lips.

We moved out into the hall and Jimmy opened the door to our room, the first thing that I wanted to do was to get rid of this ugly dress Josh had put me in.
I needed to burn it or something, only bad memories come together with it, before I could do anything, Jimmy’s hands were on my back, opening the zipper but then his hands halted.
“Don’t think bad of me, please. But you need to get rid of this thing… He bought you that, right?”
I silently nodded and Jimmy pushed the fabric of my shoulders and softly kissed the skin he revealed.
Then he was gone and I felt cold, without his body heat behind me, without his kissed on my skin,
But then a shirt was pushed over my head and I inhaled Jimmy’s scent from the shirt.
I turned around and looked at him, he had pulled of his shirt and pulled it over my head.
“Now, you look perfect. And you smell like me…” Jimmy grinned then looked down.
“We need to talk… and you need to be completely honest with me.”
I nodded, he grabbed my hand and we sat on the bed together, Jimmy’s hand never leaving mine, he sat down so close that our thighs were touching.
“I don’t really know where to start…” I began and looked up to Jimmy, his eyes moving to my eye and my cheekbone.
“Start right at the beginning…” His hands moved carefully to the bruise, I didn’t shrink away, I knew he would never hurt me.
“How could he do that? I will never let you out of my sight again, this will never happen again… I swear to you… no one will hurt you anymore…” I wanted to believe him, I knew he meant what he said.
I told Jimmy everything from the moment Josh surprised me in the restroom to the fight we had, when he hit me and my plan on trying to make him believe that I was happy with him so he would loosen up his attention a little.
“I was so scared, James.” I cried softly onto Jimmy’s shoulder, he listened silently holding me, comforting me, exactly what I needed.
“You don’t even know how scared I was, hottie. I was out of my mind, I was searching for you as long as Matt let me, I didn’t sleep, I was so afraid for you… Be honest with me, did he… you know… force you to-”
I shook my head, “No, he wanted to ‘consume our love’ when we got back but thank god you were there…”
“Mia, I need to tell you this now and I should have talked to you about it way sooner but I didn’t want to scare you away.” I frowned at him, what was coming now.
“I love you, and in all this time you were gone I realized I don’t want this to end. I need you, by my side. I want to be with you after this trip, I want to call you my girlfriend, I want you to be officially mine. Don’t leave me after this, no matter where you come from, we will work this our alright? We will make this work. You and me… Don’t.. don’t break my heart.” Jimmy looked pleading as if he thought I would rip his heart out at every second, but how could he think this?
How could he think that I didn’t want to be with him, of course I want to.
“James, I am sorry-” Jimmy turned away burying his face in his hands.
“Listen, James.” I grabbed his cheeks with both of my hands.
“I love you, too. I love you so much, that it physically hurts to be away from you. When I was with Josh, not that he hit me hurt the most, it hurt the most that you weren’t there. And of course I want to be with you after this… and if I am correct, we don’t live that far apart…” I trailed off Jimmy looking at me with so much love in his eyes that I couldn’t help but kiss him.
He slightly pulled away from the kiss, “Where are you living?” I smirked at him and he pulled me even closer, placing me on his lap, I hugged him, my arms around his neck and finally I felt safe again. I looked at him with a big smile on my face

“I moved to Huntington a couple of months ago? Didn’t I tell you?”
