I opened the door and saw him lying on the bed. "Hey." I said sitting on his bed. He flinched at the sudden movement. "What they do to you?" I asked whispering, I looked at the floor not wanting to look my own boy friend in the eyes.

"Ella, I-I don't think yo-" "I want to know, if I was able to get in, and get out to rescue you and George and hen shoot at the people who wanted to kill you. I can know!" I earned a heavy sigh from him.

"Your my boyfriend..... You should trust me and tell me these things." I said. I moved over to the other side of the bed, being carful not to move in a way that could hurt him. "Come here." He said grabbing me and holding me close. I gladly took this chance to cuddly with him.

"Please tell me." I snuggled my face into his chest, I wrapped my arms around his waist, he returned the gesture. "I will, but- are you sure you won't go on a killing rampage?" He chuckled lightly. I slightly smiled. "Reese, it was him. It al-"

"I know, i figured it out. I'm the one who told George." I said. "And he told me when I woke up, before you came up here." He said. "Please tell me? Why were you out cold?" I asked worrying.

"They, beat me up in the lot, which I'm hoping you didn't see." I shook my head, though I knew I saw it. "I tried to scream, they just threatened my life, to kill you." He took in a sharp breath. "They took me back, I struggled to get free, a punch to the head was all I needed before I was out cold."

"That's all they did I think. Anything else I don't remember." He said. "Ella?" I stayed silent, I remember something, something I saw back at the warehouse.

"Cody, they...... There plan was to....." I started to cry, I don't know why, it might be the thought if I was any later, he would have been dead. "Ella? Ella? What's wrong?" He said hugging me tighter. "They-Reese was going to shoot you, so you couldn't escape, then drown you."

"What?" He didn't understand, he didn't see what I saw. "You parents, they were going to do two types of murder, drowning for you dad, guns for your mom, two ways to kill them." I paused to look at him, he knew what I was getting at.

"T-they we're going to brutally murder you, in pay for what your parents did." I whispered, getting quieter. "That's why, they weren't haters, well..... They were a sort of hater, but not like what you thought."

I knew he understood every word that came out of my mouth. "They.... Locked you away.... Didn't they?" I already knew, but wanted to hear it from him. "Yes. But Ella, my childhood is behind me, it's the future we must look at."

I planted a kiss on his nose. "I love you." I whispered. "I love you to Ella, always have. Always will." He whispered before I fell asleep.
