Dawn's POV

"Dawn? Dawn? DAWN!" Xavier yelled out my name you could hear the concern in his voice.

My eyes fluttered open, i sat up and I quickly took in my surroundings.

It looked like I was in a jail cell of some sort. I became worried, what if we were falsely accused? Did my own mom set me up for some drug take down?

As if reading my mind, which he did often, Vier answered my question.

"Your mom is still holding us captive." He said quietly.

I sighed a sigh of relief.

"Vier, I had the worst dream! I dreamt that my dad found us and my mom had him shot down."

He looked into my eyes sadly.

"Dawn..... that wasn't a dream.... your mother had your father shot...."

A laugh escaped my lips.

"Now Xavier! Stop playing with me, my dad's not dead."

He took my hand and looked at me with the most serious face I've ever seen.

Tears started to seep out between laughs. Then it was just sobs.

"NO! My dad can't be dead!

He can't be, who am I gonna tease about their bald head, and cradle me when a boy breaks my heart?

Who's gonna help me with my homework and teach me how to be a cop?

Who's gonna dance with me on my wedding day?

Who..... who.......... who....." I wanted to say more but the words weren't coming out.

Vier pulled me into his chest and I wept bitterly.

My father was one of the best fathers I'm the world.

He did his best to raise me on his own and his best was more than enough.

He never gave up on me and I am and forever will be grateful for that.

Vier began to stroke my hair.

"I promise you." He said softly.

"I promise you and your dad, I will be there for you and protect you from whatever comes your way. I promise."

"Thank you." I said weakly before dossing off.

But right before I fell asleep I heard, a faint,

"I love you..."

I was probably just hearing things.

Xavier's POV

"I love you." I whispered, before I watched her eyes close once more.

Finally after there 14+ years that I've known her, I mustered up the courage to mutter those 3 simple words and chances are she didn't even hear me.

First of all why would I even tell her that now, she just found out her mom ran the drug industry and that she killed her father.

My little feelings are  irrelevant right now.

Second anyone with eyes could see that she was close to sleep. Why would I disturb her like that?

"You Idiot." I scolded myself.

But the words just slipped out.

I sighed, as I looked down on her face.

She always looked so beautiful as she slept.

I've loved Dawn ever since we hit high school.

When we were in primary school people always made jokes saying that we were going to get married, but we would always look at each other and say "Ewwww, that's my best friend tho!".

But when we got to high school that's when I realized,
'Hey would that really be so bad?'

I began to notice the little things, her laugh, her smile, her little pet pevs.

Her confidence and her passion astounded me and her motto to 'Live the Life you Love', really showed in her dream to be a police officer.

She'd always tease me and say that I'm to cautious, when truth is I didn't want to see her get hurt, it would make me hate myself and the person who did it.

The thought of her mother, sickens me to the pit of my stomach.

Her sinister grin, her smart remarks, the pain she pounded into Dawn was unbearable to watch.

Everytime I think of her my heart just fills with anger!

"I swear.." I said aloud

"She will be brought to justice."

I kissed her forehead and laid her down next to me.

I placed my arm around her waist, and went to sleep trying to imagine how we could be like this in the next couple years.

*wipes forehead*

Well that was a long chapter, at least for me it is.

So what do u think? Make sure to tell me how I'm doing.
