"Thanks for the flowers, Nathan. You really didn't have to." I chuckled and smiled, holding the bouquet of roses.

Nathan blushed and turned away.

"Not a problem at all, you sang great... Until, that boy came," He trailed off.

I sighed and turned his face over to mines.

     "That boy is my boyfriend. Listen Nathan, maybe I'm wrong but you're setting a pretty clear image that you may have developed some feelings for me," I say. "And I am here to tell you firsthand that I don't and won't feel the same way like you do towards me. But you are a great guy, Nathan. And you will always be my friend, you will find someone who will feel the same way but that person just isn't me."

He looked down and scratched the back of his head.

"O-oh." He said as Jaeden walked up from behind me.

     "Ready to go?" Jaeden asked, pulling my waist closer to him.
I glared at him and pushed myself away from him. This would only make Nathan feel worse.

     "Nathan, I promise you.. Keep your eyes open, you will find someone who you will develop deeper feelings for and take that from a girl who's been used and cheated on." I smiled and gave him a hug. "Don't take it the wrong way, take all the time you need."

Nathan looked back at me and smiled slightly, then dashing out of the auditorium.

I sighed and turned back to Jaeden who's arms were crossed.

     "What? Are you going to give me a guideline booklet on who I should and shouldn't hang out with?" I rolled my eyes and interlock my hands with his.

"Our relationship is pretty weird." He said.

     "You know what else is weird?" I questioned him. "Hot cheetos taste really good with chocolate long johns from Dunkin."

He raised up his eyebrow and pulled me closer to him.

"You are a wonder." He chuckled and placed a light kiss on my temple.

"I'll take that as a compliment." I smiled and walk out the school with him.

We turned into an alley way and walked through it, it was basically a short cut from the school to the bus stop.

I instantly stopped walking when i see two familiar faces at the end of the alley.

Oh no.

Shit.

Fuck.

It was Wyatt and Lilia.

     "What are you guys doing here?" Jaeden asked, placing his hand in front of me and pushed me back.

     "Oh baby," Lilia started. "I missed you so much, but I found someone better. Way better than you."

     "Then why are you here?" I asked.

     "To return the favor, I'm going to make you guys regret making me go through that depression." Lilia hissed.

     I looked at a scared Wyatt, what the hell was he doing? He seemed to be afraid of her, forced?

Nah, Wyatt chose that path.

     "I belonged with Nessa." Wyatt swallowed loud. "Jaeden belonged with Lilia."

     "No, actually its a lot better this way." I scoffed. "Two insane lovers and two sane lovers."

     "Fuck off Vanessa." Lilia growled. "We never asked for your opinion."

     "Opinion was needed dearly in this situation, honey." I playfully pouted and smirked.

     "Shut up! You don't know what im capable of!" She shouted, nervously.

     "Actually, I'm pretty sure I am. I mean considering, you sent guys to kill me and Jaeden. You came into my hospital room and duck taped my lips shut while you try to sound scary and threatening." I listed all the "scary" shit she meant. "Face it Lilia, you have no idea what the hell you're doing. Where are your parents?"

     Jaeden rose his eyebrow at me, noticing the instant confidence over me. I mean fuck, no one messes with my relationships ever again. Jaeden and I told each other that no matter what we would fight to be with each other. And that's what I'm doing, I'm not letting an insane ex try to break us apart.

     "Oh Nessa, you shouldn't have said that." Lilia smirked.

Suddenly, everything went black.

     I woke up in a puddle of sweat. Wait, this wasn't my room.. Where was I? What happened?

     I looked around the dark room, frightened. There was a dim light at the corner of the room. 

     I breathed heavily, so frightened. I crawl up in my own space and buried my face in my knees, please be a dream. I don't want anything bad happening to me and... Jaeden! Jaeden! Where was he?

I scrambled to my feet and walk around the dark room. 

"Jaeden?" I whispered. 

     "Jaeden isn't here for you." Someone said.

I turned around and saw a darker shadow in the corner. 

     "Who are you?" I shivered as the shadow sent chills down my spine.

     "Guess who," The figure stood out of the shadow and into the dim light, revealing Lilia Buckingham.

     "Lilia Buckingham, no surprise there. Anyone as desperate as you wouldn't even have the intentions to kidnap." I scoffed. 

     "I would watch my words if I were you, I am the one with the knife." She chuckled, wavering a butcher knife close to her face.

"Really, a knife? Is this some 2013 purge movie?" I chuckled.

"Shut up!" Lilia yelled and shoved me onto the floor.

The floor was oddly damp.

     "Have fun sleeping with the wolves." Lilia chuckled and opened a door located towards the left corner of where I was looking at.

She pressed a button behind the door and shut it, I heard a cage rattle.

"Help!" I screamed.

I got as far as I could from the sound and screamed.

What do I do? Was this it? No, I can't go down without a damn fight. Mother wouldn't want me to.

I heard a two growls escaping from an animal, wolves.

Fuck, fuck me, fuck her, fuck everyone, fuck this shit.

What the hell do I fucking do?

By this point I was too scared to scream or yell, or even talk.

Yikes.
