Matt’s P.O.V
As soon as we got back to the house I knew we were all going to have to explain ourselves. Jimmy and Brian fucked up… big time… they let themselves into the girls house, whether they broke in or used the copy of the key I made I don’t know, but I couldn’t exactly ask them now, could I? Hannah pointed out all of their equipment that they had set up in the living room, sure guys, make yourselves at home in the house you’ve never fucking been in before.

“Seriously, someone needs to tell us what is going on, now,” Erin said lowly, walking further into the house and inspecting all of the equipment.

“We know what this shit is, but, why do you have it? What are you using it for and why is it in our living room?” Hannah asked, walking around the room in the opposite direction from Erin

“Matt?” She asked, turning around and raising an eyebrow at me, when I looked down, I knew I’d just dug us a deeper hole to lie or way out of.

“We found the spare key under your door mat,” Jimmy said quickly without thinking. You moron, they don’t keep a spare key under there.

“No you didn’t,” Erin laughed.

“We don’t keep it under the door mat, it’s in one of the plant pots,” Hannah said matter of factly.

“That’s what he meant,” Brian smirked.

“You’re a terrible liar, Gates,” Johnny chuckled, joining all of us in the living room, a beer in his hand.

Hannah walked up to each and every one of us and looking us in the eyes, standing on her tiptoes for everyone except Johnny, him she could look into his directly. She looked intimidating, I’ll give her that, but she seemed to know whenever someone was lying to her, even about the smallest of things, but this wasn’t small. This was huge.

“What the fuck is going on?!” She yelled, the frustration clear in her voice “We come home from the hospital and you guys have a fucking lab set up in our living room, you got in here without a key and you’re all lying to us, someone please tell us what is going on,” She groaned loudly and ran her hand through her soft hair when none of us answered her.

“Fine,” Erin huffed “We’ll just have to go through your shit and see for ourselves, huh?” She smled proudly, skipping back over to the main laptop they had set up.

“NO!” Everyone yelled, jumping over to her and slamming it shut while pulling her away, Zack and I included.

“What the fuck?” Hannah asked “I swear, just fucking tell us,” I knew she was getting angry, we all did because her accent was getting stronger.

“They’ve been watching you,” Brian blurted out, by the time every one of us turned to him he was covering his mouth with both his hands, his eyes wide and his face burning red. Before I could do anything, Zack threw himself at him, hands wrapping around his neck as he slammed him against the wall.

“YOU FUCKING IDIOT!” Zack roared. He slammed Brian against the wall repeatedly until Jimmy pulled him off of him “Let me go!”

“No!” Jimmy yelled, holding Zack still although he was struggling, Jimmy was a lot bigger than Zack “What did you think was going to happen?” He asked, looking between Zack and I “That once you had cleared the mark and they’d fallen in love with you that what you did wouldn’t matter? Or that they would never find out?” The last part of the question was quiet.

“Matt?” Hannah whispered, causing me to turn around quickly. She was holding Erin’s pinkie finger with hers as though she were a child. The look on her face broke my heart as I watched her eyes fill with tears, her legs shake as she waited for an answer.

“I’m so sorry,” I sighed, looking down, I was weak, I couldn’t even look her in the face now.

“What is he talking about?” She asked, louder this time but her voice was still soft.

“Are you going to tell her, Matt? Or should I?” Jimmy asked and I shook my head.

“Zack?” Erin asked, irritated clearly, he mimicked me and shook his head with guilt “Someone else then!”

“They’ve been stalking you,” Brian said, his voice rough from Zack’s hands but still, it was sinister.

“What do you mean?” Hannah asked.

“For a long time, they’ve had their eyes on you two gorgeous ladies,” Jimmy said “Hannah, Matt first saw you at one of our concerts in the UK, you threw something on stage, giving away your name and he took it from there, first it was checking your Facebook page and finding out where you lived and some other things about you, then it was your Tumblr and finding out just how big a fan you are, then he stumbled across your account on a fan fiction website and his obsession became worse,” Hannah blushed bright red, knowing that I’d read something, if not everything she had written about us “And Erin, you bumped into Zack at one of our concerts close by, he borrowed a light from you, you told him your name and he had us do the rest of the work for him, finding out exactly who you were, what you did, where you lived, everything else about you,” Jimmy took a deep breath “They were so stoked when you guys announced on every social media site that you were moving out here to live together,”

Hannah’s P.O.V
I couldn’t control it, I just couldn’t stop the tears from spilling, but I wasn’t sad, no, I was angry, livid, furious, so enraged that I was seeing red. I let go of Erin’s pinkie finger and walked over to Matt, using both of my hands against his huge body and pushing as hard as I could to get him to move, only a little bit of a stumble was caused though.

“YOU FUCKING BASTARD!” I screamed “You lied to me! All of this has been a lie, all of it!” I cried “You knew who I was the day you crashed into my car, you knew where I lived, how old I was, my middle name, even my fucking dog’s name!”

“Hannah, it’s not-“

“It’s exactly what it looks like! Why would Jimmy lie to us more? Huh?!” Matt looked like he was ready to cry, which is exactly what he did, and I didn’t care that his best friends were standing around watching or that Erin was ignoring Zack who was watching her from across the room “We’re done here,” I said, but before I could turn around and walk away, Matt grabbed my arms desperately, when I looked at his face his cheeks were wet with tears, his eyes glistening just like mine with them.

“Hannah, please,” He begged in a breath “Please don’t go, please don’t make ME go, stay, let me explain,”

“I think you should go,” I whispered, shrugging out of his grip.

“No,” He sniffed, angrily wiping away a few tears.

“Matt!” I yelled “I told you I was in love with you and you lied and told me you loved me too, that was the biggest lie, I don’t care about the stalking, looking me up and reading my stories, if someone cared that much to get to know me then that’s amazing, but all you wanted…” I looked away from him and closed my eyes “Was a new toy to play with,”

“I’m not leaving,” He said, his voice was still shaking and I knew he was still crying.

“Then I am,” I walked past him and back out of the house, jogging across the street and running away down it, I knew where I was going, and I knew he would probably find me soon, but I needed to be completely alone, even just for a few minutes.

Matt’s P.O.V
As soon as Hannah left I turned to much, a complete mess on the floor of the living room as I sobbed into my own hands. Erin grabbed Zack and stormed into the back garden with him, but before she went outside completely, I looked up and she pointed from me to the door and gave me a warning look, I knew I had to go after Hannah but I couldn’t, not while crying like a baby.

“Come on Man,” Johnny said, helping me off the ground and into the kitchen where he handed me a beer and a tissue.

“I’m not a baby, or a girl, I swear,” I chuckled while I dried my face.

“I didn’t say anything, but…”

“I knew there was a ‘but’ to this,” I sighed.

“You’re such an idiot,” He stated and I nodded my head in agreement “You knew that one day she would find out, what? Did you think she was going to marry you, give you five kids and then find out when there was so much keeping her with you?”

The thought of Hannah and I in a house of our own with five children running around made my stomach flutter and my heart soar. I needed to find this and make it better.

“Thanks man,” I said, hopping off the counter, clapping Johnny on the back and running outside. I has an idea where Hannah went, it wasn’t far luckily, because I was still in need of some new tires.

I ran into the park and scanned the area, it wasn’t busy but it wasn’t deserted either, so, I walked further in where I knew it would be completely empty, and I was right, but there were two people there. Hannah and… Andrew.

“Get the fuck off of her!” I yelled at the scene in front of me. Andrew had Hannah pinned to the ground, her wrists above her head and was working her top off of her body while she screamed for help and for him to stop. Andrew jumped up and ran towards me, fast.

“Well, well, well, I never thought this was how I would meet M fucking Shadows,” He laughed loudly.

“Andrew, leave him alone,” Hannah warned, running over to us.

“What are you going to do about it, bitch?” He asked with a sarcastic laugh.

“The police are already out looking for you, they’re a phone call away,” she said, just as his phone buzzed in his pocket, he took it out, turning it away so neither of us could see it before he cursed under his breath and took off into the wooded area, not without throwing Hannah into me.

“Are you alright?” I asked, holding her at arms-length and looking her over “Did he…?”

“Hurt me? No,” She spat, pulling away from me and dusting herself off “Thank you, Matt…” he said softly “Once again, you saved me,” She smiled, but her eyes were quick to fill with tears again.

“Please, baby…” I pleaded.

“You don’t get to call me that anymore,” She sniffed as tears started to roll down her perfect face “All of us can work together on taking the two of them out… but you and me? We’re nothing, not anymore,”

My heart broke inside my chest, and I felt it.
