Grey

I promised Seth I would bring Nick home and I keep my promises. Especially the ones I make to a girl I'm pretty sure I'm in love with.

I don't even know what being in love feels like so I'm not sure if what I feel towards Seth is being in love or if it is just simply...love.

I never knew what love at first sight felt like before the first time I looked at Seth.

My whole world collapsed, it still collapses when I'm near her. Time freezes and the only thing I can see or hear is her.

All I do know is I'd die for her, I'd live for her, I'd do anything for her if that meant she was happy. I've never been more willing to make sacrifices than I have since meeting Seth.

The way I look at her and feel about her is the same way my dad looked at my mother and spoke about my mother.

My dad taught me better than anyone how to love a woman properly because that's what he did for my mother until her final breath.

It is currently late at night and I'm staring up at the ceiling thinking of all the ways to go get Nick and bring him home without Seth getting in harm's way.

Seth is currently nestled up into my side with her head resting on my chest. Her breaths are slow and she looks so peaceful right now.

The only thing I could think of to bring Nick home would be to go and get him.

Maybe Dahlia will think I have something bigger planned since going and getting Nick would be too easy.

All I know is I have to do something tonight before Dahlia works her magic on Nick.

I give Seth a kiss on her temple and quietly get up so she can't hear me. I don't want to leave her in the middle of the night but I can't wait any longer.

I put on my normal black suit and buttoned it up quickly. I quickly put my shoes on and leave so Seth doesn't wake up and notice I'm gone.

I would never be able to forgive myself if she tried to come to help me and ended up getting hurt or worse at the hands of Dahlia.

My plan is just to go and get Nick. That simple.

Is it a stupid plan? Yes.

Do I have a high chance of being killed? Yes.

The words Easton spoke to Seth set in on me. I have brought more danger to her than anyone.

She was living a normal happy life before me and now she can't even leave the house without getting caught by Dahlia.

Both of her brothers have almost died and all for what?

I wanted to leave Seth but Dahlia doesn't want me. If she did, I would have been far from Seth by now.

All I can do is stay by Seth's side and help her put Dahlia down before Dahlia ruins her family's life.

When I get to Dahlia's house, I go through the first window on the first floor in the back of the house.

When I get in, it is quiet, no one is around. I decide to make use of that and head downstairs.

When I get downstairs I can hear Dahlia in her office. I quickly reach the basement door before anyone realizes I am here.

As long as Dahlia stays in her office, I can be successful.

I walk down the long flight of basement stairs and when I make it completely down I can see Nick chained up the same way Easton was just a week ago.
