So I told them everything I didn't left anything out, from the moment my mom died until the day I broke up with David. Brian and Jimmy never left my side they were there Jimmy placing a secure arm around me and Brian holding my hand. After I finished the guys were angry like really angry and Lucy was crying. That's what I was trying to avoid all this time... I didn't want to upset her but now I did. I was so frustrated with myself. Things shouldn't have come this way. I had to deal with this on my own and I will.


"I'm going to the bathroom"
I stood up without looking at them. I couldn't bear to look them in the eyes. I needed some time alone even if that was 5 minutes in the bathroom. Everything happened so fast, my life was a mess again. I was going to wait until David calls again and then I will make things right. No one will have to suffer for my own shake I wasn't going to let that happen. Suddenly my phone rang.

"Hello?" I said my voice weak.

«Hello Ali" his voice was low and threatening.

"David" I stated my voice hard.

"Glad you didn't forget me" his voice held an amusement tone.

"Another threat?" I questioned.

"Oh...no...no...actually I called you to make a deal" he said.

"What kind of deal?" I asked confused.

"That we will have to discuss it face to face" no way.

"No" was my only answer.

"Even if I told you that if you do what I told you so I will leave your friends alone?" he questioned.

"What about me?" He would never leave me alone.

"I can’t promise that...what I can promise is that your friends will be safe" he said sternly.

"Ok. Where do you want me to come?" it was the only way.

"Good girl. Meet me at the old warehouse outside of Huntington" he said and hanged up the phone.

I sighed...I have to go. It is the only way that he would leave the guys alone. I don't care about me as long as they are fine. I splashed my face with cold water and I carefully exited the bathroom hoping no one would see me but I was wrong. I soon as I got out Zacky was coming towards me.

"Hey are you ok? You were gone for a while" he asked concerned
.
"Yeah, I'm fine I just needed to be alone for a while" I didn't try to smile he would know it was fake.

"Don't worry about anything we won't let him near you" he said and I nodded my head as a tear fell from my left eye in thought of what I was going to do.

"Don't cry Lissa" he said and wrapped his arms around me while I rested my head on his chest.

"Just relax for a little while and come downstairs we're not going to leave ok?" he said as he
released me from his embrace and I just nodded before he went back down.

I decided that the window was the only way I could go out. My car keys were already in my pocket so all I had to do was to climb out of the window...easier said than done. Before I went I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen writing "I'm sorry I have to do this. A" I placed the paper on my nightstand and got out to my balcony. I noticed that it wasn't so high.

After a lot of try my feet finally touched the ground and I ran to my car. I turned on the engine and started driving to the old warehouse. My mind was filled with his thoughts…what is he going to do to me? What if he eventually hurt the guys? Was I crazy going there all alone? No I wasn't. I couldn't risk for any of them to get hurt especially Brian.

After a long drive I made it to the warehouse. The place was creepy it was dark and the only sound was the sound of the trees moving from the air. I hugged myself as I walked towards the entrance. I pushed the old door open and got in. It was cold and dark, I hesitantly started walking deeper in the warehouse watching carefully my every step.

"Hello?" no one answered.

"David?" I asked again.

"It's about time you came Ali" a shadow said and started walking towards me.

"I missed you" he was now in front of me caressing my cheek. I was just stood there frozen.

"What do you want?" my voice was low I didn't want him to get mad.

"Eager aren't we?" he said. I didn't say anything.

"I just want to go home" I looked at him in the eyes in a pleading way.

"If you mean England then yes you will but you’re never going back to that place. That's my deal Alicia come with me and I will never disturb your friends again. We will go to live our lives together the way we were supposed to be. All you have to do is to apologize to me about the things you said that night and I will take you back." Really I had to apologize? Really after everything he had done to me?

«I have to apologize? Did you forget what you did to me?" I asked in disbelief.

"You made me do it…you deserved it. Now apologize because I want to go home" he said and I got angry.

«I’m not fucking apologizing for anything... I didn't do a thing" I shouted.

"You will and you'll mean it, you bitch" he slapped me again.

"No. I won't… I hate you. I don't want to spend even a minute close to you again" I yelled back to him.

"Why are you making me do this again?" he shouted and kicked me.

"I am not making you do anything David" I said from the ground my voice weak.

"It's all your fucking fault" he started kicking me again and I couldn't do anything to stop him.

"We could have a beautiful life together, we could have a beautiful family but you destroyed everything because all you can think of is your fucking self" he had stopped kicking me and he was on top of me holding my hands to either side of my face.

"Is it about that Brian guy?? TELL ME!" he demanded.

"Brian is just a friend..." tears started running down my face in the thought that I might not ever see Brian again.

"You’re lying" he slapped me again "If I can’t have you neither he can" He got up and got a gun out of his jacket…my eyes widened.

"No David don't do this" I pleaded him and a cough escaped from my lugs. I placed my hand on my mouth and I realized that I had coughed blood.

"I have to. It's your fault" he said and pointed the gun to my head.

I closed my eyes saying a little prayer hoping that when I opened them again I would see my mom. Minutes passed by and I was still alive. I opened my eyes dreading what I would see and what I saw shocked me. How did he get here? Brian was fighting with David and I couldn't move.

"You will both die, I will make sure of that" David said when he escaped from Brian.

"See you in hell Alicia" he pointed the gun again at me but when he was about to shoot me Brian jumped on him making him miss.

Brian hit him in the head and he fell down unconscious. I was relieved for a minute maybe I will get through the night. But how Brian found me? Oh God we need to get out of here. Brian kneeled down next to me examining my bruised body.

"Oh baby girl. What did he do to you?" He caressed my cheek and a few tears fell.

"Get me out of here please" I said through tears.

"Let's go" he nodded and picked me up placing on arm around my shoulder keeping me stable.

For a moment I thought that everything was going to be fine. I was going to be ok but when anything goes straight with me? I heard a sound from behind but I dreaded to turn my head and see what it was. I slowly turned my head and saw David standing up with a pointing gun at Brian…No...

"No" I shouted and got in front of Brian who was cut off guard.

I felt the bullet getting in my flesh crushing the bones to my left shoulder. I stumbled back from the force and Brian caught me falling to the ground with me. He placed my head in his lap and it was then when the rest of the guys came storming in. Matt with Jimmy took care of David while Zacky and Johnny went to call 911. Lucy came running towards me and Brian.

"Alicia" she screamed when she saw me.

"Don't close your eyes babygirl stay with me" I tried to talk but I couldn't. I felt the blood leaving my body leaving me weak. I just look at him with tears in my eyes and tried to hold his hand that was caressing my cheek.

"Honey help is on the way just hold on strong please" Lucy said crying. I noticed that the rest of the guys were now standing above us not knowing what to do. I turned my head to look at Brian.

"Brian...I'm sorry" I managed to say before any strength that had left from my body, vanished.
Before I passed out I heard the faint sound of sirens and Brian's voice telling me to open my eyes…but it was too late.
