Aliyah's POV A week earlier..........

When I finally woke up from all the hits I had taken to my head and face, I was in a strange place, I looked around, groaning in pain, I spotted the bouncer and Cobra in the corner talking with Kai, they were having a heated conversion, 

"What the fuck Kai?! Are you trying to kill her? She is FAMOUS! You are going to catch a good sentence if you get caught," Cobra says.

"Hey, she is awake," The bouncer said, pointing to me.

Kai stops talking and looks at me, then he comes towards me, I back away afraid of him, "Leave me alone."

Kai looks at me, getting pissed, "What the fuck did you just say to me bitch?"

I looked at him, and repeated myself, "Leave me alone Kai!"

He lunged at me, picking me up by the throat, squeezing hard, I couldn't breath, I was losing air fast, then I blacked out.

6 Days Later........

Every day for the last 6 days, Kai has beat on me, stabbed me, kicked my knee to the point where it nearly wants to snap, Cobra was trying to keep his cover, he had gotten some time alone with me a few days earlier and promised me, he had almost all the evidence he needed to put him away for a long time, he just needed another week, I couldn't stay here for another week and endure that kind of torture, I waited until they all went to bed for the night, it was about 11 pm I had been pretending to sleep for the last 2 hours, I waited until I heard all their doors close and lock for the night, I got up and looked around, I spotted a knife that had been forgotten and picked it up, walking to the bed, I climb up and stand up so I'm level with the window, I use the knife to jimmy open the lock that was on the inside, I was in just a long t-shirt that was Gerald's, once I got the window opened, I listened quietly for a moment, hearing nothing, I climbed out the window and re locked the window by squeezing my hand in and getting it locked again, I still had the knife in my other hand, I carefully climbed down from the second floor, when my feet hit the ground, I quickly looked around, then bolted for the woods, my best bet at getting away fast.

I ran through the woods, I tripped a few times, the last time I did, I went down hard on my bad knee, I heard a pop! and I instantly teared up, pushed myself off the ground and got up, I began to awkwardly run, trying not to hurt my knee more I kept all pressure off it, after what seemed like forever, I hit pavement, road, I was free.....a car passed me honking loudly, I scream startled, they slow down and back up,

"Hey are you okay miss?"

I looked at the guy asking me if I was okay, it wasn't anyone that knew Kai, "No I need to get to the hospital, my knee is dislocated and my shoulder is on fire, my ribs hurt and I just don't feel good."

"Get in I will drive you to the hospital," The guy says, leaning over and opening the door for me.

I get in and shut the door, trying to start focused on the road as he begins to drive, it takes us 20 minutes to get to the hospital, I get out when we stop, 

"Thank you sir."

"You're welcome, you going to be okay?" he asks, looking concerned.

"Yes," I reply back then turn and limp into the hospital.

Once I enter, I hear yells from doctors and nurses, I feel faint and nauseous, I pass out, falling to the ground. When I wake up the next day, the doctor is checking me out, he looks down at me, 

"One more day here, we will release you tomorrow, get some rest."

I just nod and fall asleep, when I wake up again its midnight, I was starving, the nurse that was checking on me hears my stomach grumble and says,

"Let me get you something to eat."

I just nod and she takes off, she returns with food, she places it in front of me, "Thank you."

I smile at her, she smiles back and says, "You're welcome."

I eat and watch some Grey's Anatomy since it was on the late night TV, I missed Gerald and home, I know he is probably freaking out, I can't imagine, but I will be home tomorrow, I stayed awake all the rest of the night into the morning, around 5:30 am they released me, I took an Uber to the studio, knowing Gerald was probably there getting something ready for that video we were supposed to do before I was taken, it took me an hour to get there, I didn't realize that Kai had taken me out of LA, I pulled out the last of what I had in my bra, thank god Kai never touched my bra, 

"Keep the change, thank you."

The Uber guy looks at me, "You're welcome Aliyah, I hope things go well when you walk in there."

"Thank you, have a great day," I say before turning away as he replies back.

"You're welcome and you too Aliyah."

I walked towards the doors, looking around the parking lot I spotted Gerald's black Mustang, I smiled slightly, I didn't have to go all the way to his house, I finally got to the door, I looked down at my dirty sneakers and the scrubs I was in, curiosity of the hospital, Gerald's shirt was in the bag in my hand, I opened the studio doors and walked inside, and that is when all the chaos started, I hear the yells from his body guards and the security guards of the studio, 

"ALIYAH?! Can you hear me?" One of the guards looks at me, checking out my injuries, my knee brace, my arm sling, the bruises and all the cuts.

I looked at Gerald, making eye contact, I started shaking a bit, he started to come towards me, I opened my mouth to speak and said,

"I finally got away," Then I passed out again, falling to the ground.

When I woke up again, I was at Gerald's house in his bed, in a t-shirt of his and his sweat pants.
