It's the end... (kidnapping story)

Chapter 43

Frank's POV:
I left Alice in the dark, in an alley... Where she's vulnerable.
It's still better than being with me though. It's getting really cold and I think I've made a huge mistake. All this time Tony's been around me, all this time I've been falling for her and making her fall for me when it's really Alice that I love, it's really Alice who understands me and wants to help and I've continued to push her away.
But I can't be in love with my best friend's girlfriend, it's wrong. He'll hate me for the rest of my life if he catches us again. And I have no doubt he will... Still it is nice that Alice cares so much about me.
I have to go back to her! If not for her then I need to do it for Gerard.
I sigh and start walking back to the alley when I see the shadows pursuing me again. They're getting closer.
"Leave me alone!" I shout at them. Stop! It's only your imagination... Right?
I start running, fearing the worst as the shadows get closer. I trip just in front of the alley and look up as the shadows start to vanish. Alice is lying on the floor while looking up and holding her stomach. She's in so much pain... I smile at the thought as I walk over to her, she sees me and sits up, hugging her knees.
I wish I could take it back... I really hate myself for what I do to people... I drive them away. Gerard and Alice are my only hope and I've betrayed both of them in some way or other.
Alice is smiling. Again... Why does she smile? After everything I do to her. She starts shivering as I kneel down with her.
"You came back" she croaks. Her voice is dry and she very clearly needs water. Without knowing I'm doing it I'll probably conjour up another torturous act if I get her water. So I leave it. I don't do anything... Because I know whatever I do to try and help her will be overthrown by the pain I wish to inflict for some reason.
"I want to help Alice" I smile "But I can't help... I can't help you or Gerard, or even Tony" I want to cry but my face is completely emotionless.
"You've already helped" she replies looking down and chattering her teeth. I pick her up slowly and she puts her arms around my neck as I cradle her and walk over to the corner of the alley. I sit down and she rests her head on my shoulder as I rub her quickly to keep her warm.
"I wish I could show you my world" I tell her "maybe you could understand me... Why I do these things" I continue as I rub her with my long sleeved jacket. She smiles at me and cuddles my chest.
"I understand you Frankie, more than you know" she kisses my neck and I giggle. I can't help it... I'm ticklish. I feel her warm embrace, she's human like me yet I'm still so different.
I wish I could tell her what the voices tell me. And I wish she could know how I truly feel about her. I kiss her cheek gently hoping I don't bite her. This could work... She smiles as she presses her head between my neck and shoulder.
I like this but I can't get to comfortable. I continue rubbing her arms at a rapid pace.
"Warm enough?" I smile. She cuddles closer to me and kisses my cheek smiling.
"Definitely" she answers.
I better stop before I do something I'll regret.
"Let's get you back" I pick up Alice again and start walking.
"Oh... Okay" she says looking down. I feel so guilty. Stop Alice, I can't... You can't.
I continue walking and carrying her along as she shivers slightly. I smile at her as I throw her up a little. She squeals and laughs as I throw her higher. I stop when I start thinking about dropping her. What is wrong with me...
She smiles and chuckles as she looks up at me.
"Now that warmed me up" She says in a humorous tone. I laugh at her comment as we continue walking up the dark street.

Gerard's POV:
A man comes in and bangs on the bedroom door, Tony and I immediately stop playing and I give her a worried look.
"Oooh hide!" She exclaims, I nod slowly and walk into her bathroom. This girl is rich... Really rich, this is my dream home, probably is anyway.
I look into her mirror at my black hair drenched in sweat and clinging to my face. I still look sexy! Amazingly sexy! I continue admiring my reflection until I hear a voice, a loud booming voice. It's very clearly her father...
"Did you have a boy in here, it smells like man in here" he observes.
"Well, I mean you walked in so, it's probably just you" I hear Tony reply.
"Yeah probably" I add, smirking.
"Did you hear something?" His voice jumps.
"No... No I didn't " Tony lies. Way to play it cool Tony... The door is thrown open and her father immediately yanks me out. Here we go.
"Who is this?!" He demands.
Tony is silent, thanks for the help Tony. She smiles a guilty smile at me, I return a sarcastic smile.
The father starts yelling at me, asking how I got in, who I am, bla bla bla... I expect to have the living shit beat out of me but that would be an understatement in the case of an over protective father. Oh well at least he cares about her.
He puts his hand around my throat.
"Don't you dare hurt my daughter" he warns.
I nod and he lets go of my neck, I sigh with relief and Tony pushes him out the door.
"Nice seeing you dad" she slams the door and turns to me "umm... Sorry" she smiles.
"Yeah, nice one, you had my back" I say in a sarcastic and disappointed tone.
Tony looks down and I can tell she feels guilty.
"We should go, do you have a way to get your drum kit to the coffee shop?" I ask her. Her face lights up and she runs over and hugs me.
"You mean I'm playing the gig with you?" She asks excitedly.
I nod.
"We don't have much of a choice, considering the fact that Bob walked out on us" I explain, she just smiles and nods with a large grin.
"I'm psyched to play with you guys!" She bursts.
I'd be happier for her but right now I kinda just want to get back to the tour bus and relax. My neck feels like it's lifting weights. As we continue walking two very familiar people catch my attention. Alice! And... Frank?
