Nate's POV
We made our way back to the car and headed home. The whole time we held hands as we drove to downtown Omaha where the city got busier each hour.
We arrived outside Mila's house, I ran out my door to open her door for her. "Thank you," she says as she stepped out. "Thanks for the breakfast, I loved it - we need to go more often," she giggled. "Anything for my lil mama, oh by the way Mila be ready at 7 I have another surprise for you." I winked, kissed her and ran off before she could ask me anything.
Tonight was going to extra special, tonight was the night where I would ask her to be mine. I hope that nothing would go wrong.
Mila's POV
Nate really didnt have to do all this, he puts so much care into his plans which I admire but I don't want him to get too stressed. I'm not completely accepting the idea of his 'weed' business and I'm scared of what they might do to him if he does a mistake. They can take him away from me and right now thats the last thing I want.

I decided to watch a film since I had a couple of hours to spare, I grabbed a few snacks and headed into the lounge to watch a Disney film. Half way through the film I heard the door open, I looked up to see a man wearing a bandana around his mouth walking towards me, I scream and run to the back door but he runs up behind me.
"Who are you and what do you want?!" I yell as he grabs onto my wrists, he pushes me up the wall and whispers into my ear "I hear you're Nate's new girl - listen darling what he's doing is dangerous and if you try to stop him just know that both of you will be in deep shit". He lets go and runs out as I try to calm down. Who the hell was he and how did he know that we were 'together'
*
I was concerned to whether I should be hanging around Nate, I decided to call up and cancel any plans tonight.
"Come on Nate," I called him as his phone went straight to voicemail. I began worrying- what if they done something to him? I called once again and after the third ring he picked up,
"Nate we need to talk-" "Hey lil mama," his voice sounded rough, "Nate are you okay? What happened, do you want me to come round?" They must have hurt him too. I thought that this was only just a warning for me, I didn't want any harm on Nate.
"No, Mila.. what ever you do, do not come over. I promise this will all be over soon, I love you and stay safe baby-" he said as he got cut off.
I began worrying even harder. He was definitely hurt and it hurt me to know. I needed to help him but I wouldn't know who I could ask.
Sam. He was in the business too, he must have been through the same, I needed his help.
*
I found Sam through Mike and walked over to his house. I knocked on the door and got an inner regret curling in my stomach. "Oh, um hey," he scratched the back of his head, "Hey, can I come in?" "Oh yeah, sure come in," he opened the door wider as I stepped in.
"Um-whats up?" He looked at his shoes, "Look I'm sorry about what happened - you didn't deserve it," "Sam it's okay," his eyes shot up.
"Wha-what?" "Sam I said it's fine, anyways I'm not here to talk about that I'm here to ask for help,".
Sam's POV
I couldn't believe Mila forgave me after what had happened at the party. She wanted help and I would do anything to start all over.
"What help do you need?" I asked as her eyes started to mist up, "Its Nate..." I rolled my eyes - that son-of-a-bitch should have warned her about what he's doing is dangerous.
"Why what happened?" "A guy attacked me at my place saying if I stop Nate we would both be in shit," she wiped her tears that were falling. I hugged her to comfort her.
"I called up Nate, and he didn't sound good but he told me to stay safe," I pulled back and held onto her shoulders. "Mila everything will be okay, when you're in the business stuff like this happens if you 'disobey' them,". She nodded as she couldn't make any eye contact.
I pulled in for another hug, and she cried harder. Soon she pulled back, "Sam you dont understand- what if he's in real danger because he's with me?" She looked into my eyes.
I didn't know what to say- Nate has been my brother ever since and yes I am sorry for what I have done last summer but its too late.
"Sam, please help me." I nodded in agreement and she hugged me. I pulled her back and cupped her face, "everything will be okay- I will help bring back Nate, dont you worry."
She smiled.

Mila's POV
I was glad that Sam was helping me, we exchanged numbers before I left and kissed him on the cheek. It was only mutual.
I had gone back to Mike's place to let him know about Sam. It was hard for him to process that 'Sam' would help out 'Nate'. He laughed it off and said he would call me later.
*
I walked home as it began getting darker, fall was definitely approaching as a gentle breeze hit me.
I had a feeling that someone was following me, so I began walking faster. The last thing I remember is being hit in the head, falling on the floor and looking at a pair of blurry trainers that were approaching me.
Soon everything was black.
