Justin was laying on his bed, watching Disney movies on Netflix.

"Justin!" His mom called from downstairs. "You have company!"

Justin was confused. He wasn't expecting anyone to come over. He hopes that it's either Ariana or Zayn.

When he got downstairs he saw the curly blonde with a guitar.

He doesn't really talk to Tori. They have guitar class together, but that's about it. He knows that she's Ariana's friend, and he thinks that all her friends are against him.

"Hey Tori." He raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"

He also wondered how she knew where he lives.

"Hey, do you know how to repair a string on a guitar?" She asked. "I know it's random of me to come here, but you're the only person I know that plays the guitar."

"What about Niall?" He asked, remembering that Niall joined their class late.

"I'm not talking to him at the moment." Tori frowned.

He walked closer towards Tori as she hands him his guitar. He saw that the E string is missing.

"How did this happen?" He asked.

"I was playing and it snapped." She answered. "First time it happened to me.

"I have extra strings in my room." He said before going upstairs to his room.

Tori followed after him.

While Justin was repairing the string on her guitar at his computer desk, there was an awkward silence. She was just standing there, watching him.

"You can sit on my bed if you want." He spoke, feeling awkward.

She sat on his bed and looked at the TV where "The fox and the hound," was playing.

"So is this what you were doing all day?" Tori tried to start a conversation.

"I was gonna play soccer with Niall and the boys, but Demi ruined it for me." He said, still repairing the string.

"What did she do?" She asked, curiously.

"She thinks I'm bad, because of what happened at prom." He told her. "It's none of her business anyways."

"Well if I'm being honest here Justin, I think what you did was bad. You can't just leave someone hanging without telling them."

"You don't know my story, so you can't judge."

"You're right, but Ariana is your girlfriend. If you love her then you can tell her anything."

The silence came back.

"I finished." He said, giving Tori her guitar back.

"Thanks..." Tori said, wondering why he didn't respond to what she said.

"Aren't you gonna leave, or are you gonna make me feel bad even more?"

"I'm just saying if you love her-"

"I don't know if I do!" He snapped. "How can I love someone when they keep running back to the same person whenever something happens in the relationship?!"

Tori was speechless.

"Just go." Justin calmed down. "I said too much."

Tori stood up and stopped when she walked to the door.

"I'm sorry." She said, before leaving the room.

Justin let out a big sigh.

"Then why isn't he in jail?!" Harry panicked.

"He only threatened. He didn't do get a chance to do anything, because he scared them away." Joan said.

"All talk and no show?" Harry asked. "It would be easy to get Ariana."

"I wish it could be easy, but I don't know where he lives." Joan frowned.

"We should just call the cops." Robert suggested, taking out his phone from his pocket.

Ariana's shocked expression changed into an angry one.

She can't believe that her dad turned into a psycho. She wondered what happened to the man that was once her loving father. It made sense to her on why her parents divorced. She finally got the answer she wanted. Ariana thought that her mom didn't want to tell her, because her mom was too ashamed. Or her mom wanted to protect her, but now Ariana found out the truth even though it hurts.

"Do you really think I'm gonna believe that you'll pull the trigger? If you do then you're stupid."

Her dad gave her a confused look.

"Go ahead, pull the trigger!" Ariana snapped, making her dad flinch. "Or shoot me, because I'm still not gonna tell you where I live!"

This wasn't the reaction that Mr. Butera was expecting.

While he was busy wondering why Ariana didn't give him the answer he wanted, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach.

Zayn elbowed him, setting himself free from the headlock.

Ariana grabbed Zayn's hand as they both ran out of the shack house, crossing the street.

They heard a gunshot which startled them. The little brunette turned around and saw her friend who tripped onto the road nearby. Before she could get to him, he got struck by a moving a car.

"ZAYN!" She screamed.

Loud sirens came onto the scene with flashing red and blue lights. Behind the police car was Robert's SUV.

Robert, Joan, and Harry rushed out of the car and Joan was the first to make it to the little brunette.

"Ariana!" Joan pulled her daughter into a tight hug. "Are you okay?"

Ariana was still staring at Zayn who was on the ground. Joan followed her stare and gasped at the view. Harry and Robert caught up to them.

The curly haired boy fell to his knees when he saw Zayn.

"No..." He whispered as tears started forming in his eyes.

The police searched the shack and they found Mr. Butera's lifeless body with a bullet hole in his head. One of the police men came out of the shack to give the report to the family.

Ariana didn't know that this day could go south. She felt like all of this was her fault. She was speechless the whole time, traumatized.
