America's Suitehearts

Remembering that we installed an intercom buzzer up here because one of the bellboys kept getting his-dumbass-self locked out here while trying to show off the view to girls, I went around to the side wall of the weird box thing that they built up here to set the door in to find it and damned whoever had the idea of covering the floor of this place with gravel. I buzzed the security office and, knowing that the night staff didn’t speak the best English, I started shouting what I now consider to be the most useful words I ever learned in Spanish class. I formed maybe two slightly coherent sentences. Judging by the tone of the security guard’s response, I figured he got the gist of it. Suddenly the door flew open and I screamed so loud they probably heard me all the way in Canada.
“Hailey, Hailey, Hailey.” said Kyle as he strolled around the corner to me “You have some explaining to do.” I backed away from him as he moved closer until I could make an escape around the back of the box. However, I quickly discovered that trying to run on gravel while wearing stockings and no shoes was much easier said than done and unsurprisingly it didn’t end well. I slipped and he caught up with me and pinned me against the wall, forcing me to look at his acne-scarred face, demented brown eyes that were so dark they looked black, sloppily styled straw-like hair, and pathetic excuse of facial hair that was even sadder than the peach-fuzz some guys sport during middle school. I thrashed about trying to get away. “Stop fighting me!” he snarled into my face. I was immediately paralyzed, partly out of fear, but mostly out of the near overwhelming nausea that washed over me from both the feeling of his muggy breath on my face and the stench that accompanied it. To be honest, this situation would be ten times less awful if this asshole would just take a fucking breath mint. “See? Was it really that hard to just obey me?” he said with a smirk. I glared at him with enough ferocity to make a full grown grizzly bear run for cover. “Oh, don’t give me that look, sweet cheeks, you want to be tamed, you just haven’t realized it yet.” He gave me a lingering look up and down that made my skin crawl “I see you’re not wearing the present I got for you." The actual fuck is this nutjob talking about?
“Look, I don’t know what kind of pixie dust you snorted before coming here, but if you think you’re going to be taming anything, you must directly out of your fucking mind!” I yelled. He grabbed my shoulders, pulled me off the wall, and then shoved me back against it with enough force to make me cry out.
“You don’t speak to me like that, bitch!” he yelled back “I have done nothing that wasn’t out of love for you! I became everything you wanted and you still wouldn’t accept me! No, Hailey, YOU are the one that’s out their mind! I gave you everything and YOU threw me away! YOU brought this on yourself you fucking whore!” he screamed looking as if he were about to either bite my face off or start sobbing. Having nowhere else to go, I pressed myself as close to the wall as possible as a means of putting some more distance between me and this freak, making extra sure that my mostly exposed chest was the furthest away from him. “You hurt me. You hurt me so bad and now you owe me. You owe me everything you denied me.” There were a lot of things that I had denied him, things that I sure as hell was not going to willingly give him now, but he was such a brute that I doubted he was going to let my unwillingness stop him from taking it. My stomach turned sour and I could feel the cold hands of fear grip my chest as he began leaning in closer to me looking like he was going to try and kiss me. You know, this kind of puts the whole Max incident into perspective and to be honest I would much rather be dealing with him sneaking a few kisses than this clusterfuck I was currently in. Note to self: Apologize to Max about overreacting a little. I turned my face away from him but he grabbed my jaw and turned me back. As he drew closer, I felt fear pierce my heart and tears started welling up in my eyes as I frantically pushed on his shoulders with my hands to keep him back.
“No! Stop! Please stop! Don’t! NO!”
**CC’s POV**
I was still laying on the bed, head feeling like it was splitting in two and using my arms to keep it together, when Ash, Andy, Jake and couple other guys ran into the room.
“Holy fuck! Are you alright?!” asked Ash as he helped me sit up. Aw fuck, am I dizzy!
“What happened? What did he want with Hailey?” asked Andy while I very quickly and sneakily redid my belt so as not to raise any questions at this time.
“Who even was that guy?” asked Jake as he and Ash helped me up. My head was still throbbing but I managed to answer them.
“Don’t know, don’t fucking care,” I groaned “but that bastard has Hailz and is going to do God knows what to her if we don’t do something now!”
“I’ll go grab Yanni and some of the other security guys and we’ll go stop him!” said Jake before he ran out of the room.
“Come on, let’s go get that son of a bitch!” I said as I took a slightly wobbly step towards the door
“Dude, maybe you should sit this out, you’re not looking all that hot. We’ll make sure she’s safe, don’t worry.” Ash said as he put his hand on my shoulder to stop me from following the other guys out. I shook the dizziness out of my head.
“No, you don’t understand, I wasn’t there when she needed me with Max and I’m sure as hell not going let her down again.” I said as I shrugged off his hand and went to go catch up with the rest of them and he followed. Also, there’s a very special inner ring of hell reserved for people who cock block that aggressively and I intend to make sure he goes there as soon as possible. Once we caught up with them, Andy and Austin were struggling to keep the door open even a crack and Ronnie and Yanni were about to join in when Andy’s hand slipped off of the handle and the door slammed shut, sending Andy stumbling back into Yanni.
“Shit!” shouted Austin as he slammed his hand down on the door. I pushed my way to front of the small angry mob of ten we’d formed and when I saw the keypad I realized just how totally screwed we were.
“Well fuck, we’re locked out!” said Ronnie as he ran his fingers though his hair
“Fuck!” I cursed as I kicked the door then started pacing in front of the door. God motherfucking damnit! This date has been going down the drain ever since we got to this damn party!
“We’ll go downstairs and grab some of the hotel security to unlock the door for us.” Said Andy after Yanni helped him back up
“Hurry!” said Austin. Andy nodded and took off without another word. I kept up my pacing and tried to think of something, anything that I could do to help her.
“CC, there’s nothing we can do for her right now, chill out.” Said Jake after a couple minutes but I ignored him. Suddenly, a piercing scream tore through the air. It was the kind of scream that made everyone who had ever felt protective over a sister or a daughter become uneasy. I swore and banged my fists on the door.
“Does anyone have any ideas?! Anything?!” I asked desperately. There was a brief moment of silence before someone finally spoke up.
“Is there any way to tell what keys she pushed?” asked Austin as he took a closer look at the keypad
“Oh, yeah, sure, just let me go grab my secret spy gear- No, no we don’t genius!” said one of the roadies that had joined the group
“Hey, shut the fuck up, at least he’s trying to be helpful!” snapped Ash
“Wait, guys, what was it that she was shouting earlier?” asked Ronnie “Wasn’t it a couple of numbers?”
“Oh yeah! Maybe she was trying to give us a clue, anyone remember what numbers she said?” Austin asked as he stood back up. I glanced around at everyone hopefully. Please God, let somebody remember!
“I think she was just shouting sixty-nine, dude.” Said Jake which made a couple guys snicker
“But it’s a four digit code. Maybe we have to add or multiply it?” suggested Ronnie. Everyone groaned, math isn’t exactly a common strong point amongst us. While some people pulled out their phones and started trying to find ways to turn sixty-nine into a four digit number, I took a turn looking at the keypad. Hmm, if she meant for us to do anything to it, wouldn’t she have made it obvious? What if…I typed in six, nine, six, nine and tried the handle. There was a small click then the door unlocked and I opened it.
“CC, you’re a genius!” shouted Ash
“I know, now come on!” I said and we all began running up the stairs. Jesus, talk about a stairway to heaven! We weren’t even halfway up when we could hear Hailz screaming. I swear to God if he hurt her…I shoved the door open and we all poured out. I immediately followed the sounds of her struggling and ran around the corner to find her pinned against the wall by ‘The Missing Link’, just barely managing to keep his puckered lips away from her face which he held in place with his hand on her jaw while she glared at him with a mix of disgust, rage, and terror. “Hailz!” I shouted which made her eyes dart towards me. Her expression instantly softened with hope and relief when she saw me which made me want to go full-blown Karate Kid on this guy’s ass then wrap her up in my arms and just never let her go, but when he looked at me, he snarled and slid his hand from her jaw down to her throat and squeezed.
