Hey, up until this point this was written when I was fifteen so I am very sorry for the mistakes and poor writing. I have decided to continue the story! That being said, I just changed a few things (October 4, 2015), but it won't really affect the story in general. Thank you for reading!

Cole's P. O. V.

I panicked, but didn't let it show. At this point everything was quickly falling a part and I couldn't help but feel guilty for even thinking bringing Diana into my world was a good idea. I couldn't help it, she's unlike anyone I've ever met. My selfishness got us into this mess so it's my turn to give up something. I look over and Trevor has Diana in a tight grip causing her to wince. My blood boils at the thought of anyone causing her pain, especially Trevor. Jack was just thought and I don't know if it's just the ass hole in me, but the little bastard deserved it. He's a snitch with a bad hair cut. I hung on to any hope I had left, which isn't much, but it's enough to keep me going and get Diana out of here.

Diana struggled in his grip. "Trevor, please, just let us go and we'll never bother you again." She tried to reason, thinking she can fix everything like usual. Even in a moment of life or death she tries to be positive.

Trevor let out a breathy chuckle. "You should really stay quiet, you've done enough." He scowls at her, making her shrink in his hold. He loves that he intimidates people, it's what he thrives on.

As I stood there, helplessly, an idea came into my head that was either going to get Diana out of here or have both of us killed. I knew if it worked she would hate me, but right now it's the only thing that makes sense.

"Trevor," I said, making his head turns toward me. Diana looked nervous, probably knowing I was about to do something she'd be against. "can I talk to you alone?"

His lips lifted in a slight smile, finding amusement in this situation. What I would do to beat his ass... "Of course, Cole. Take her," He shoved Diana into one of his men and they took her out of the room.

It takes all my will power not to go over there and kill those giant penis looking men. What? They're bald and ugly, plus he's wearing a dark brown shirt. He asked to be called a dick...

I took a couple steps forward and crossed my arms over my chest. "I want to make a deal with you."

Trevor eyes me questionably, but seems interested. "What kind of deal?" He asks.

"I will join the gang, but you have to let Diana go." I said, but my inner concious, or Diana, was in my head asking for one more thing... I rolled my eyes. "And get Jack to a doctor." I muttered.

Trevor scoffed. "You think it's that easy to just re-enter?"

I shrugged. "I'm a valuable member to the gang and wasn't that the whole point of all of this?" I asked, gesturing my arms to the warehouse.

He smirked and nodded. "We do want you back, but are you trustworthy?"

"I always have been,"

"You say that but you've done nothing but go against me." He stated.

"Well you've tried to kill me so..." I say in a 'duh' tone.

He chuckled. "I guess you're right." He feels proud of what he's done here. "Welcome back, brother. I will let everyone go as of right now."

I sighed. "Can I at least say goodbye to her?" I asked, trying not to sound too upset.

Trevor walks up to me and let's me free from the hand cuffs that were on my wrists. "I'm not all bad, so yes I'll let you say goodbye." He leaves the room and when he comes back he returns with Diana. He unlocks her handcuffs and she looks utterly disgusted by his touch. "Five minutes," He says before shutting the door.

She rushes to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I held her tightly, savoring one of the last moments we'll have together. "What's going on?" Diana questioned as she pulled away.

I averted my eyes from her gorgeous blue ones, not being able to handle her reaction. "Diana, I have to go." I said. I glance up to see her mouth slightly open and eyes in disbelief.

"W-why? Why would you have to leave?" She panics at the news and cups my cheek.

I shook my head, still upset with my own decision, but it was the only way. I know this is the toughest decision I've ever had to make, but it was out of love. I love, Diana, but she could never truly love the self destruction monster I really am. I know she'll be happy with someone else and only think of me when she thinks about the mistakes she's made. "I made a deal with him I have to go back to the gang, but they'll let you go. Diana, please forgive me." I tried to explain, but I knew she wasn't really listening.

"Cole please no! You can't, I need you here with me. He'll kill you,"

I wiped away the tears that streaked her beautiful face and kissed her forehead. "It'll be okay, I'll be okay." I assured, but not truly knowing if that's true.

She shook her head and wrapped her arms around my waist. I once again embraced her in a tight hug I wished could last forever. "Please don't go with him," She mumbled against my chest. I'm stunned by her next choice of words and they're something I haven't heard since I was eight years old. "I love you."

I stood there, not knowing what to say. I know I loved Diana more than anyone in this world, but does she really mean it? How could she love someone like me? Oh fuck it, I didn't care. "I love you too," My voice is low, I'm not even sure she heard me.

We stood there, holding each other, for what felt like a life time, but that was short lived when Trevor came back into the room, telling me it was time to go. Diana was torn away by Mr. Penis and she elbowed him in the ribs. She was quickly restrained by another guy and I was left to watch her be escorted away- safely away from here.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked over to see Trevor there with a satisfied smirk. "Say goodbye?" He asked.

I didn't answer, just watched as she was put into the car. I didn't say goodbye because I knew this wasn't going to be goodbye. This was only the beginning of a plan in progress. A plan that will have me back with Diana and Trevor dead.

My biggest fear wasn't dying or getting beaten.

It was losing Diana or not knowing if I'll ever see her again.\

Diana's P. O. V.

I sit in the back of the Jeep Wrangler as the two giants occupy the front seat. I'm not sure where they're taking me, but there's no point in fighting now. Cole is gone and I feel like my heart was ripped from my chest. The thought of never seeing him again terrifies me and I can't even bare the thought. I would not let him go, not without a fight. I will find him and help him escape Trevor, even if it's the last thing I do.

"Get out," A gruff voice woke me up. "come on!"

I sat up from my groggy state and exited the car. Without another word, it drove off into the distance until it was out of sight. I was home. I entered the empty house and looked at the microwave for the time. 10:00 AM. Dad should be at work and Jake should be at work.

The phone rang and I answered it. "Hello?" My voice was raspy from all the crying and yelling I had done.

"Diana?" Jack.

"What the hell do you want?" I spat.

He sighed. "Listen, I know you're pissed-"

I scoffed. "That doesn't even explain what I feel about you."

"I know, but I need you to come to the hospital." He said.

"Why would I go there?" I asked.

"Because I'm here and need to talk to you about Cole." His voice dropped in volume and I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not.

"What about him?" I asked.

"I owe you and I know how to pay you back for all the damaged I caused." He said. "Just come to the hospital, second floor room 234. I can't talk on here for long.

I was still skeptical, but agreed to go.

I changed out of my dirty clothes and drove to the hospital. Jack was laying there in a hospital gown on in a pale blue and green room that looked like it hadn't been decorated since the later 80's. "What is it?" I asked as I took the seat in front of his bed.

He tried to sit up, but winced in pain. I don't even feel bad for the little bastard. Cole was always right about him. "I talked to Cole,"

I remained looking uninterested, not really believing anything he's saying.

"He gave me this," He handed me a note.

I opened it and it was in Cole's hand writing. I looked up at Jack and he gestured for me to read it.

First things first, I can't stand you and your hideous hair cut, but I need your help. I don't really trust you, but you're my only chance of getting me out of this fucking mess you put me in. If you care anything about Diana you'll help me. And if you don't I'll personally destroy everything you could possibly care about, except for Diana of course. Tell Diana about this letter, she needs a little peace of mind since I've put her through hell and back. If she decided to not help me, I totally understand and want her to know that I love her. We're going to Las Vegas in the morning and that's where our plan starts. I'll be in The Mirage hotel by ten pm. Meet me there. Not Diana, only you, Jack. Don't be a pussy.

Cole Meyer

He's a fool if he thinks that I'm really not going to tag along.

"Are you going?" I asked after finishing the letter.

He sighed. "I don't-"

I shook my head. "Let me rephrase that, you are going."

He raised an eyebrow. "If I don't?"

I smiled sweetly in a condescending way. "Then I will tell my family everything and have your ass thrown in jail."

He gulped and nodded. "I'll go,"

Here we come, Cole.

"How are you going to get out of school? It's the end of the semester?" Jack asked.

"I technically am over credited for school and can graduate at any time. I'll go into the office today and tell them I'll be away for family matters." I explained, already figuring out that part earlier today.

He shook his head. "You sure are determined."

"You have no idea,"
