"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Well, actually since you were so kind as to bring my girl back to me, I will be taking her home now." Scott says with a sneer.

I feel her step up behind me and place her hand gently on my arm.

"I am not going anywhere with you."
"Awe, poor little flower. You think you have a choice in this situation. You will come with me like a good little slave or your little play toy here, dies."

He attempts to come in the room and I try to shut the door as I feel it being pushed back and he steps into the room with another man.

"You asshole! You were supposed to protect her." I spit out.

"That was what you were supposed to think. I have always been an employee of Scott's. He's my best friend. How do you think he always knew where you were?" James says with a smirk.

"You son of a bitch!" I throw myself at him and he punches me in the face and I fall back. Daisy comes running to me as blood starts to run from my nose. She is crying and I try to console her.

"You won't get out of here."

"Oh, I think I will. Don't worry about that idiot Colin."

"That asshole won't bother us. He is taking a nap and won't be around for a while." James laughs.

"What did you do to him?" Daisy cries out.

"Don't worry he will be fine in a few hours. Didn't want him to interrupt us."

"Now let's go flower. It's time to go home."

"You are not going anywhere with her. You know you have violated the restraining order. All I have to do is call the cops."

"Call them. It will be too late. Now let's go!"

He grabs hold of Daisy and starts to drag her out. I run for them and James stops me.

"Now do what I pay you for and let's get out of here."

James steps in front of me and begins to pummel me with his fists. I try to fight back and get a few licks in. His fists keep hitting my face and ribs. I hear a few cracks and it is hard to breathe. I finally go down and he starts kicking me in the stomach. I try to get back up as I grab for his legs and he kicks me again.

"Stay down idiot!"

He takes one more kick to my head and I finally black out.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't know how long I have been out but I try to pull myself off the floor and see that it is dark outside. I drag myself into a chair and put my face in my hands and rub my temples. Everything hurts and all I can think about is Daisy. How do I get to her? What has he done to her? Is she still alive? I have got to find her before he does anything. How am I gonna do this?

"AAAAHHHH!"

I am so frustrated right now. I had been sitting for a bit and heard a knock at the door. I slowly get up and cautiously open the door.

"Hey man, did you get............ What happened, man?" Jack asks worriedly. They all walk into the room and I can see the concern on their faces.

"Where's Daisy?" Amber asks.

"Dude, are you alright?" Elijah questions.

"Everyone sit down and shut up. I need to figure this out." I say loudly.

"Dustin, tell us what happened." Jack says with increasing concern.

"He took her! I couldn't do anything about it. James is working for him."
"I was wondering why he disappeared. He left not long after you two did. Which is where we are as late as we are. Steve tried to get a hold of him but no answer. We finally had to leave without him. I guess he was already here." Sam said, shaking his head.

"He is the reason that Scott always knew where we were. They are best friends."

As we are talking, a groggy Colin walks in with Steve.

"I'm sorry man, they ambushed me as I opened my door. They drugged me and I couldn't fight them both off."

"It's not your fault, right now we have to get her back."

"How are we going to do that?"

"You are going to get me his address and then I'm going to go get her."

"Are you crazy man? You can't go alone!" Jack says.

"I'm not taking any of you with me. I can't risk it."

"But you're willing to go by yourself? Are you crazy?" Sam asks.

"You can't risk it. Let's call the police and get them involved." Elijah says, trying to convince me to stay.

"There is no time!"

"Look, I will go with you. We'll do this together." Colin offers.

"You don't need to risk yourself, what about the band?" Jason asks.

"Right now, I don't give a fuck about this tour or anything about it! This is why she is where she is. It's my fault that she is in danger and I need to help her!"

I start pacing the room. I hear everyone talking over each other and I soon feel a hand on my arm.

"Dustin, it's not your fault. I know you love her and only wanted to keep her safe. She knows it's not your fault. She was the one who wanted to keep us safe. She loves you too. We will get her back. You just have to keep your head on straight." Amber says calmly.

"I have to save her. If we wait, it may be too late." I look her straight in the eyes as the tears start to fall. She pulls me into her arms. I wrap my arms around my friend and let them fall. "I can't lose her! I love her so much!"

"You won't."

After a few minutes I pull away and head towards the door.

"Let's go, Colin. It's time to get her back."
"Let's go."

I head out the door and towards the elevator. Soon Colin is beside me and we walk into the elevator. The ride down was quiet and we headed out to the uber. Climbing in, Colin tells the driver the address and we head off. We are soon nearing Scott's house and we were surprised it looked like a normal home without any security. This guy was supposed to be a big guy here. I guess he wasn't worried about someone coming after him. We tell the driver to let us out a little ways from the house and climb out. We slowly make our way to the house. Colin signals to me that we go around back, that they wouldn't be expecting it. He pulls a gun from his back and we start to move.

"Do you have one for me?" I ask.

"You aren't licensed, and I don't want anything else added to you."

"Fine, I guess I will just use my hands."

As long as you don't kill him."

I rolled my eyes as we crept up the backstairs. He walks up to the back door and slowly tries the door knob and it opens. He slowly pushes the door open, focusing the gun ahead of him as we slowly walk into the dark. We walk around and see nothing. He walks around and sees lights in the basement. We start to head that way and I hear commotion from upstairs.

"I'm gonna go check that out. You check out the basement."

We separate and I get a bad feeling about doing that but I ignore it and find the stairs leading up. I cautiously walk up the stairs and see a light at the end of the hallway. AS I get closer I hear voices and I hear someone being beaten. My blood starts to boil as I hear her screams. I quietly move to the door and peer through the crack and I can see the back of Scott sitting on the bed with Daisy tied to it.

"So you thought you could get away from me?"

"We aren't good together. I was dying inside."

"Oh flower, don't you know that you will always be mine? You're lucky I didn't kill your little boy toy. NO ONE touches what is mine."

"I'm not yours anymore."

"You will always be mine." He says as he backhands her again and I hear her whimper as she struggles against her restraints. I quickly ran into the room.

"Oh look, lover boy has come to try and save you."

"Don't hurt him."

He stands up and comes for me as he throws a shoulder into my stomach. I fall flat on my back as he jumps on me and starts beating me. I started throwing punches and eventually rolled him over and began to pummel him. He eventually seems like he blacked out and I get up and run to Daisy. I start peppering her face, and then go to release her from her restraints. She instantly sits up and wraps her arms around me. I look at her face and she has a black eye and her lip is split. I see a bruise starting to form on her cheek. She grabs hold of me and begins to sob. I wrap my arms around her and caress the back of her head.

"Shh, I got you, you are safe."

"He.... He.... said that I would be his tonight. He was going to take me and I wouldn't be able to stop him."

"It's okay, he won't touch you again. Colin is here too. He will be up soon."

It will be too late." I turn around and see Scott standing there with a gun, pointing at us. "You are such an idiot! I told you she was mine. Now I have to prove it. You couldn't stay away. Now you both have to die."

I quietly stand up and pull Daisy behind me.

"You don't have to do this. We can leave and will never bother you again."

"I can't let her do that. She has ruined me. I can't let that happen. No one files against me and gets away with it."

"Come on, we can leave and take it all back. If you kill us, you won't get away with it."

"Hahahaha, do you know who I am? I own this town."

I try to move away but he is standing in the door and fires a shot hitting my thigh. I scream in pain as I fall to the floor. Daisy drops next to me as she starts to cry.

"I am so sorry Dustin. Scott, please stop. We'll go away. I will stop the order and take back what I said. Please, don't do this."

"It's too late for that." He walks over and grabs her up and pulls her against him. "I told you, you are mine, and no one is taking you from me."

I slowly get up and try to get to them. He quickly picks up the gun and fires twice. I fall back and my world goes dark.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Noooooooo!" I squirm away from him and run to Dustin. He is lying lifeless on the floor. No, he can't be dead. I feel his neck and I can feel a faint heartbeat. "What did you do?"

"How many times do I have to tell you!"

"You didn't have to do this!"

"He would never let you go, and you are mine!"

I see Colin slowly come up behind him and I try not to focus on him as I try to keep Scott distracted. He slowly walks up and places the gun barrel to the back of his head.

"Drop it, bitch boy!"

He drops the gun and raises his hands. Within seconds we hear sirens coming. Colin takes Scott's hands and ties them behind his back.

"Colin, we need an ambulance! He's dying! I can't lose him!"
"I got this, girl." He runs outside to talk to the police and I sit with him.

"Please baby, stay with me! I can't lose you! I love you so much! Please, stay with me!"

Not long after the emts come in and take over. Colin tries to pull me back from him and I struggle to stay.

"Sweetheart, you have to let them work. You need to step back."

"He needs me!"

I finally let them work as they place him on the stretcher and take him to the awaiting ambulance. They won't let me go with them as I scream for him.

"I will take you both to the hospital. Come on, it will be the fastest." Detective Williams says.

We climb into the back as we race off behind the ambulance. The worst keeps flying around my mind. I don't know what I'm going to do if he dies. He has become such a huge part of my life, I feel like my heart is being ripped out. Please God, don't let him die. Colin reaches over and grabs my hand and squeezes. It seemed like hours before we reached the hospital and we all rushed in and up to the desk.

"Excuse me, my boyfriend Dustin Stevens was just brought in. I need to see him."

"Let me look. He is in surgery right now. Have a seat and someone will be out to talk to you." The nurse says politely.

Colin places his arm around my shoulder and leads me to the waiting room. I sit down and place my head in my hands as the tears begin to fall. He tries to console me but all I want right now is Dustin alive, here with me. Not long after the crew comes running in.

"Oh my god girl, are you okay? Have you heard about Dustin? Amber asks.

"We are here for you." Elijah says.

They all came in and each one hugged me tight. I wipe my tears that have started to fall. The stress of it all and I begin to fall as Colin catches me and sets me down in a chair.

"What happened?" Sam asks.

"We split up and I went downstairs and he went up. I found James and beat his ass before I tied him up. As I was going upstairs, I heard a gunshot and quickly ran up the stairs. As I got closer I heard two more and I saw Scott standing there with them on the floor. I wasn't sure of who was injured. I quickly walked up behind him and shoved my gun against his head. That's when it was over."

We all stood talking and I looked over and saw a doctor coming towards us.

"Dustin Stevens family?"
