"What is it?" I asked, walking to Jinxx, and he pulled out a shell necklace.

   "I don't know if this is anything important, but I think I remember Tami wearing this once," Jinxx said, handing me the necklace.

  "It's hers." I said grimly.

  "How do you know?" Andy asked as he walked up behind me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

  "I was the one who gave it to her.."

It got quiet quickly, and I tried to shake off the tension by snapping everyone out of it.

  "So are we just gonna sit here like some potatoes or are we gonna find Tami?" I smiled, then turned to Jinxx.

"Show me exactly where you found this." I said.

   Turns out the necklace happened to be right where the girl took her.

    After a bit more looking, we decided to go through one of the back exits and look around. The snow was still falling, but there were minor imprints showing the possibility of a vehicle, maybe a van passing through here. I explained this to the group and Zoe and Sky came by my side.

  "Are we gonna follow the tracks?" Sky asked.

  "Of course," I grinned, "no one is taking my best friend and getting away with it.

   Sky, Zoe, and I led the group all the way to some abandoned apartment building.

  "Okay we need to have a game plan. Sky, you go up the stairs with Bryan. Zoe, you come with me and we'll get in through one of the top windows or something by climbing on to the roof of the building next to it. Andy and the rest of the guys, you stay here so that if anything goes wrong you can either rush in and help, or call the police." I said, but Andy shook his head.

"No. I'm coming with you," he looked at me, and I could tell he had already made up his mind.

  "Fine, but the rest of you, stay here." I eyed them.

   "What if they have gun power? You guys could get killed if you go through with this!"  Ashley panicked.

   "Don't worry, everyone I'm taking is strong enough for anything. I'm sure we're gonna be fine." I reassured him,"Well, all of us except maybe Mr.I-Volunteer-As-Tribute over here," I chuckled as Andy seemed to have rolled his eyes so hard he went blind.

  "Can't we just call the cops? Wouldn't that be easier?" Chris asked.

   "Well of course it would be easier, but then they would actually get involved. I can't have that happening, especially since what I might do here today is most likely very illegal." I said in all seriousness.

   "(Y/N), be careful." Jinxx said.

   "Don't forget you all have people to come back to," Jake smiled and ruffled my hair.

    I laughed, "You little fucker, don't you worry I'll make sure to live just to get you back."

    We started going to our assigned positions when I stopped Sky.

  "Don't go into that building until I send you the flashlight signal, okay? I don't need you getting taken too," I hugged her and she just laughed.

  "Yeah, yeah, big sister, I know the drill." She smiled and I felt her start to cry.

   "This might be nothing, but don't go dying on me, (Y/N), okay?" Sky pulled away and wiped her tears away.

   "I promise."

   And with that, Zoe, Andy, and I managed to get onto the roof. It wasn't too big of a gap from the roof we were on to the next, so Zoe and I jumped across it with ease. Although, my landing wasn't necessarily the best, I still made it across. Andy stayed in place.

   "Jump over," I whisper screamed at him and he took a deep breath. He walked back a few steps and started with a running start.

   "(Y/N)!! He isn't gonna make it!" Zoe called, right as Andy jumped. I sprung over to him as he started falling and I caught his hand.

  "Y-You idiot," I scolded him, grabbing his arm with both hands and swinging him from side to side. Once I got the right momentum, I swung him really quickly to the left and it was just enough to get him to plop onto the snow covered roof.

  "You could've just pulled me up you know," Andy suggested.

  "Not really, I was too weak for that and Zoe had already gone inside.

   "What? How?" Andy got up, brushing off the snow on his clothes.

   "You see that open door over there?" I said, pointing to the open door across the roof from us.

   "Did she open it?" He said, looking over his shoulder to look at the door.

   "Yup." I said, making my way to it.

   "Wasn't it locked? How did she unlock it?" Andy wouldn't stop asking questions.

   "Sky, Zoe, and I used to live on the streets. We never knew our mom and we lost track of our dad after we moved. It was tough times. We needed to learn things most people couldn't handle." I muttered.

  "(Y/N)," Andy grabbed my hand and laced his fingers with mine. I was tempted to pull away, but I didn't.

   "I didn't know.." he hugged me and I shrugged.

    "You never asked. Now come on, stop being all sentimental and let's go in." I said, making my way down the little staircase that lead to the top floor and Andy followed, still holding my hand.

  Zoe was standing by a broken window, I stood next to her and she was looking at Sky pacing around, constantly checking for the signal.

   "Zoe, it's time. Light the signal." Zoe nodded and pulled out a little mini flashlight, turning it on and off.

  Sky got Bryan and they started to approach the house.

  "Time to go." I took my hand out of Andy's.

   "This place looks like it has maybe four floors. We have to check every room, every corner, and under every bed. Let's go." I said, walking to the first room I saw, kicking it open.

  "Andy, you check up here with Zoe. I'm gonna look downstairs." They nodded and looked around the floor till I finally found the staircase.

  Once I got onto the third floor I looked around, wondering where to start. I walked up to a door that was already open and searched around the apartment, but didn't find anything.

  It's so dusty in here...

   I walked to the next door and picked the lock. Sadly, nothing was there either. About seven empty apartments in, I heard a thud and some rustling at the end of the hall.

  I texted Zoe and Sky to come to the third floor. I was about to start making my was to the apartment, but I heard a door creak behind me and rushed into the last room I was checking. Through the creak in the door I saw a really tall guy that kinda looked like... Liam?!

  That little bastard is going through pay.

    I slowly opened the door, took out a piece or rope, and threw it around his neck, strangling him until he passed out. I dragged him into a room, took all of his weapons, and tied him up and stuck him in the closet.

  "I'll deal with you later. It'll be fun, I promise." I said, closing the door to the room. Sky, Zoe, Bryan, and Andy were looking around and I waved them over to where I was.

  "I think Tami is in the very last room at the end of this hall." I whispered to them, "Sky, Zoe. Now is the time to take out your weapons. Give Bryan and Andy a knife as well." The nodded and obliged. I pulled out a weapon of my own. A long, sharp black blade that used to belong to my father.

  As soon as they were set, we quietly made our way to the suspected room. Bryan accidentally bumped into me and made my hand brush lightly on the surprisingly open door, causing it to creak loudly.

   "Liam? Babe? Is that you?" I heard Tami call, and I froze.

  Babe?

  I turned around to find Bryan look royally pissed. He was about to barge into the apartment.

  "Don't to it." I mouthed to him.

  "Babe? Is that you? Stop messing around and come over here. I'm sure no one here, you're just being paranoid." Tami's voice was getting closer to the door and Bryan lost it.

He burst through the door and knocked Tami onto the floor. She was dressed in one of his shirts and she looked panicked. Sky and Zoe rushed in and pinned Tami onto the ground.

"Oh no you don't!!" A girl's voice screamed and Zoe went limp and passed out on the floor.

"Zoe!!!" Sky shouted and my eyes looked up to see the girl from the security footage holding a metal straw like thing and darts.

"You did not just do that," I growled.

  "I'm afraid I did, sweetheart," the girl smiled and I narrowed my eyes.

    I lunged at her, and she tried to shoot another dart at me, but Sky threw a dagger at her hand, chopping off a few fingers and removing her only weapon from her. She screamed, her hand, covered with blood. I grabbed it, squeezed, and twisted her wrist, shoved her so that her back would face me, and dislocated her shoulder as she let out a pained wail.

  Right when I was about to speak, I heard a thud and felt someone jump onto me and put a blade to my neck.

  "It was never fair you know. Our friendship. You always got to fall in love, be happy, get any guy you want... YOU STUPID BITCH!!!" Tami shouted, then after she started giggling uncontrollably.

  I saw Bryan out of the corner of my eye getting ready to attack her, "Don't do it!!!" I shouted. Tami turned right as Bryan launched himself at her, took the knife away from my neck, and let him stab himself on the blade.

"Bryan!!!" I shouted, tears welling up in my eyes. I threw Tami off me onto her fingerless pal and caught Bryan before he reached the ground.

  "No...You weren't supposed to do that... You idiot!! Never play hero!" I said crying.

   Sky left Andy to take care of Zoe and got into action. She started throwing knife after knife, but Tami was smart, and used the girl under her as a human shield. I could see Sky was getting frustrated, so she pulled out her gun.

  "If you do not get the fuck up and fight me right now, I'll shoot you down so you can die like the coward you are!!" Sky screamed, but Tami just tossed the girls body off of her and laughed.

  "You really think it's that simple?" Tami looked up at Sky with crazed eyes. I felt Bryan shift in my arms.
He started to stand back up. I tried to keep him down, but then I heard a gunshot, and suddenly, Bryan wasn't in front of me anymore. Tami pulled a gun on Sky, and pulled the trigger. Bryan jumped in the way last second. I took out dart and threw it at the laughing bitch. I ran over to Bryan.

  "I-It's okay, (Y/N). We all h-have to be the hero a-at some point.. I-I know what it's like to l-lose a sibling..You shouldn't go through that either.." Bryan said, clearly struggling.

  "No. No it's okay. Well just call an ambulance. I'll text the guys. You'll be okay. Right? Right??" I couldn't stop crying and his hand wiped away my tears.

  "(Y/N), you have to be the hero now.." Bryan said.

   I had just realized Sky was ripping the flannel she had in order to tie up his wounds.

"Andy! Call and ambulance!!!" I said, and he nodded, pulling out his phone.

"Hahahahahahahahaha," that sadistic fucking laugh. That crazy fucking bitch.

I smiled, and turned my head to Tami having a giggle fit.

  "You want to laugh?" I grinned, gripping my knife so tightly my knuckles we're turning white, "Oh, I'll give you something to laugh about."

Once I said that, the color drained from Tami's face as I calmly walked up to her.

"Considering your drugged from the dart I shot at you, you can barely move. Which is PERFECT FOR ME!!!" I shouted and Tami quickly started apologizing as I got on top of her.

"THIS IS FOR TRICKING ME!" I stabbed her shoulder.

"THIS IS FOR BETRAYING US!" I sliced up her face, arms, and stomach.

"THIS IS FOR HURTING BRYAN!" I shouted, crying uncontrollably at this point. I punched her over and over.

"And this... This is for hurting me." I pulled out my gun and aimed it at her head.

"No! No please! Please I'm begging you! Don't do this!!" Her tears mixed with blood ran down her face. She looked like a complete mess. I pulled the trigger, but shot her in the shoulder instead. She looked so relieved. However, I wasn't satisfied yet.

  "No. You shouldn't die for hurting me. You should die for hurting my sister!" Her relieved expression quickly faded as I pulled out my knife and slit her throat.

Sky poured gasoline over her dead, limp body.

  "Andy already called an ambulance. There's gasoline on all the other floors as well. It's time to go." Sky said, clearly worried.

  "Just a second.." I muttered, not taking my eyes away from the body.

  She nodded and made her way out of the room.

  I brushed a strand of hair from Tami's face and shut her eyes.

  "You didn't have to do this..." I whispered, and put the shell necklace in her hand. Tears steamed down my cheeks as I turned around, walked out of the room, and didn't look back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few days later, in New York

The apartment building was burned to the ground. No evidence of what happened that night was left. Bryan is still in the hospital, and will probably have to stay there for a while longer. The band suggested that Sky, Zoe, and I could go back to our shit apartment if we didn't wanna continue the tour with them, but we insisted that we stay.

   None of the guys know exactly what happened that night except for Andy. We're in the hotel right now, but in different rooms. We're staying in rooms in pairs, and I just so happen to be staying with Andy.

"(Y/N)?" Andy asked, "What are you doing by the window?"

"Just... Thinking," I responded.

"Well what are you thinking about?"

"What happened.." I muttered and Andy came over and pet my hair.

"Don't worry, it's over now." He said, trying to comfort me.

"But why would she do that? She also started screaming at me for having relationships or whatever," I vented and Andy shrugged.

"Maybe she was jealous? Look, (Y/N), we can't change what happened. What's done is done, and there's nothing we can do to change that." I shrugged.

"Yeah I know," I muttered, " also, it might just be me, but you always act like you're​ my boyfriend. Why is that?" I look up at him with a questioning smile and see a slight blush on his face.

"I, uh, I mean, because...Stuff." he awkwardly rambled and I laugh.

"Anyways, tonight is the concert, so we have more important things to do," Andy changed the subject.

"Yeah, like picking out my wardrobe!!!" I grinned and ran to my suitcase.

I can't wait for tonight.
