Part 2:
Ala's POV

I made Matthew leave Bailey's house to calm down. It took her awhile to calm down herself, but after she did she explained that she realized it would be different dating him, compared to anyone else. But she was okay with it. I only hoped he never pulled anything like that again. I couldn't be there to save her every time.
I left with my jacket and went back to the studio where Tyler was waiting. We finished rehearsal and went back to the crowded loft. I decided to take Tessa down to the beach and figured I better ask the guys if they wanted to come. I texted everyone in our groupchat. As much as I hated those things, it came in handy.
~Conversation~
Ala Dausonn- Hey I'm taking Tess to the beach anyone wanna join?

~Conversation Ended~
I put my phone down and changed into my bathing suit. A couple minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I charged down the stairs while Tessa slowly took her time gracing down them. I opened the door and there stood Cameron with two fourteen year old boys.
"Hi there." Cameron smiled hugging me and giving me a kiss on the cheek, a habit all of the boys had now picked up. He smiled to Tessa.
"Hi Sawyer, I don't think we properly met. I'm Ala, I'm that girl that barged into the apartment and slapped Matthew." I shook his hand.
"I'm Sawyer." He said. I noticed his nervousness.
"Don't worry I'm actually a fairly nice person." I joked. He laughed a little.
"I'm literally standing right here Renaia and you don't even acknowledge my presence." Hayes stood there looking hurt. Wait did he call me by my middle name?
"Sorry, hi Benjamin." He hugged me and I noticed he was basically taller than me. I'm 5'7 and he's fourteen what the hell? "How are you so tall?" I asked noticing Sawyer wasn't too far behind him either.
"Let's just say puberty really likes me." I smiled at the true comment.
"Let's roll." Cameron said coming back from the kitchen with a banana he stole from me. We walked in twos. Cameron and I talking while Tessa and Hayes talked in front of us. I turned around every so often to see Sawyer looking extremely uncomfortable and on edge. So I walked over by him.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hi." He replied softly.
"Why are you so nervous?" I asked him.
"I guess this is weird to say, but I dont know, I don't really feel comfortable away from Matt. He saved me, I just feel more safe around him." He looked down.
"I get it. But we're not going to let anything happen to you. Cameron is an adult, and works out every week. And if it makes you feel any better, I can kick some ass too." I joked. Sawyer laughed a little. "We're not going to let anyone hurt you. And Matthew knows that, if he didn't he wouldn't have sent you here with us." He nodded and loosened up a little. "Now let's go have some beachy fun." I took his hand and ran him to the sand. He laughed and we caught up to Hayes, Cameron and Tessa who were already sitting on the beach towel. We all swam a little until we got hungry. I sent Sawyer and Hayes with money to get food while Tessa, Cameron and I waited. They were in viewing distance so we could watch and make sure no one tried to kidnap them, although I'm sure they could handle themselves. I put my sunglasses back on and laid down closing my eyes. A few minutes later I heard Cameron mutter a worried 'shit'. "What are you shitting?" I asked still in my same position.
"Um, Fulton." I bolted up. And looked over at Sawyer, he and Hayes were laughing. Fulton hadn't noticed him. Although I wasn't sure which of the dudes was Fulton. "He's the one in the middle, next to the blonde girl in the purple bikini."
"How do you know every thought of mine?" I asked dumbfounded.
"Telepathy?" I knew Cameron didn't have a definition for it either.
"I'm going to get Sawyer." I stood up.
"Ala no, if Fulton sees you, I dont know what he's going to do."
"If he sees Sawyer, his run away recruit, he's going to brutally murder him or something." I wasn't really sure what Fulton was capable of, but he was a leader of a gang, so I knew his intentions could never be good. I walked over to Sawyer and Hayes and grabbed the collars of they're shirts yanking them back to the towel.
"What the hell Ala I almost got you free ice cream from that girl." Hayes whined.
"I dont care sit down." I told them. They sat and I sat in front of Sawyer hoping to cover him. I noticed Fulton and his group coming this way but still not noticing us. I had to find someway to hide Sawyer's face. "Uh Sawyer. Could you look in my backpack for my phone. I think I left it in the bottom." He nodded and looked down into the backpack. Fultons group passed. And I saw Grayson, backstabbing Grayson.
"Ala?" He asked. I wanted to punch him for giving us away. Sawyer looked up and Fulton turned to us.
"Ala Dausonn. It seems you're the one who kidnapped my little mini me. That wasn't very nice." Cameron tensed up ready to pounce at any moment.
"F-Fulton?" I couldn't explain to you how terrified Sawyer looked as he backed up into the big rock sitting behind us.
Tessa and Hayes just looked confused, them being the only ones who had no idea what was happening.
"Come on Sawyer. It's time to go home. I'm so sorry you had be with these people for a whole night." Fulton reached out to grab him but I smacked his arm away. Fulton only laughed. "What are you trying to do sweetheart? If I remember the last time we spoke I had you pinned against a wall helpless."
"You don't scare me."
"I should scare you, you should fear me." He smirked grabbing my arm and pulling me up. Cameron stood aggressively colliding his fist with Fulton's face immediately. Fulton stumbled back and Sawyer stood behind me in fear. I took his hand in reassurance knowing it didn't help much. "Oh, Cameron Dallas, what did you just get yourself into?" Fulton smirked stepping forward to me again. Cameron didn't say a thing and stepped in front of me. Fulton stepped away from us and swiftly grabbed Tessa holding her tightly to him.
"Tessa." I tried going to get her but Cameron held me back.
"It's funny, the only one I don't know. Means so much to you. It'd be a shame if anything happens to her." Tessa whimpered.
"Let her go." Cameron said calmly. Fulton laughed.
"Hand over the boy and you get Tessa."
"No." Cameron responded. I noticed Fulton's distraction, nobody was really paying attention to the two fourteen year old boys behind me anymore.
"Sawyer you and Hayes run back to the loft and lock the door. Someone will probably follow you but you need to out run them. Once you're in the loft call Matthew. Got it?" Sawyer nodded and Hayes just looked confused. "Go." I whispered and they both bolted off.
"Grayson, Levi, get them!" Fulton yelled they took off in a sprint toward the boys. "You're going to pay for that." He pushed Tessa into another boys arms. He walked over swiftly toward me but Cameron attempted throwing a punch at him to hold him off. Fulton caught his fist and twisted his wrist pushing him to the ground. He came over to me, I tried running but he caught me by the waist while I kicked and screamed. Nobody on this beach payed any attention. Cameron stood again.
"Put her down." He clenched his jaw.
"Wow, I'm so scared of you Cameron, really. My heart is racing." Fulton sarcastically replied laughing. "I'll give you three options. Rico!" Fulton called and from the back of the mob the largest man I'd ever seen approached us. Cameron's jaw dropped. "You can walk away alone and be safe. Or you get through Rico and you can have Ala and Tessa. But you don't get through Rico, then that means he probably killed you," Fulton smirked, as did Rico. "Let the fight begin." Fulton announced and Rico threw the first punch to Cameron causing him to flip to the ground with a loud grunt sound.
"Cameron!" I yelled flailing my arms and legs trying to somehow get free, but all my efforts epically failed. Cameron attempted to punch Rico but he only laughed it off. Cameron took multiple punches while I screamed and kicked getting back up. I knew he wouldn't give up on trying to save me. "Cameron stop! We'll be okay, just go."
"I'm not leaving with out you!" Cameron yelled back successfully dodging one of Rico's punches.
"I'll be okay."
"No. I'm not leaving you."
"Just walk away!"
"I'm in love with you, I can't just walk away Ala!"
"He's going to kill you."
"I'd die for you, you know that!"
"Aww how cute, a true Romeo and Juliet." Fulton cooed. After finally closing my eyes not being able to bear watching anymore I heard one more voice appear.
"Hey asshole!" I opened my eyes and everyone stopped as they saw who showed up. "Let them go. This is between you and me." Matthew called.
"Mr.Espinosa, I've been eagerly awaiting your arrival." Fulton replied. "Rico. Step back a second give the poor boy a rest." Cameron stumbled back onto the rock. His lip and nose both bleeding while a cut on the left side of his cheek itched to start bleeding as well. I did notice Rico had a few cuts and bruises indicating Cameron put up a good fight.
"Let them go." Matthew restated.
"Give me Sawyer."
"I'm not letting you brainwash him into thinking he's actually better off with you, then at home." Matthew crossed his arms.
"You just don't know when to quite, do you Matthew."
"If you're going to hit someone. You hit me. Got it?" Matthew looked to me knowing he stole those exact words from me.
"I have no problem with that." I realized if I kicked correctly I could kick him in his manly area and be free. I timed my escape and collided my foot with him. He dropped me into Matthew's arms and crouched down holding onto his man hood for dear life. "You bitch. Kevin, go." I realized Kevin was the one holding Tessa captive as he picked her up and sprinted. Cameron ran after him. I tried following but was grabbed again by Rico. Suddenly I heard a click noise and realized a switch blade was being held to my neck. I held my breath. How was nobody on this damn beach noticing what was going on. "Make one move, and I slit her throat." Fulton said taking the knife. Then me. Matthew stood trying to think of something to do. I closed my eyes. "Of course you could just let me have her. You get Sawyer, I get sweetness here." He stroked my cheek.
"Just let him take me Matthew. Save Sawyer."
"Ala you know I can't-." Matthew was cut off by the sudden noise of police sirens. Maybe someone did notice.
"Shit." Everyone looked around panicked. "You win this time Espinosa. But I warned you before. This isn't even the start of what I'm going to do to you." Fulton raised my arm slicing my wrist before pushing me into Matthew. I cried out in pain and held my hand over the cut. "And there's one more warning. In case you didn't understand."
"Ala..." Matthew started, holding onto me like I was dying. "I'm so sorry." I didn't say anything, I only cried. Matthew noticed how much blood came running down my hand and picked me up sprinting me to the loft. Literally sprinting, putting his running back skills to the ultimate test. I clutched onto his shirt and stopped crying. I didn't want to make him run up the stairs with me still in his arms but he didn't stop. He kicked the door until Tyler opened it then continued sprinting up the stairs my mom Kassie and Tyler all followed worried. Sawyer and Hayes were sitting in my room but stood up quickly when Matthew rushed into the room setting me on the bathroom counter. He placed his hands on either side of me, leaning a little to catch his breath. "I'm so sorry." He whispered.
"Don't be sorry."
"I am. I feel so bad. They took Tessa. Cameron got beat up and I dont know what happened when he went after Tessa. You got hurt, Fulton almost got Sawyer. And he's not going to quite. It's all my fault."
"What the hell happened? Who's Fulton!" My mom yelled.
"A while ago I got into trouble with some bad people. I did something bad, screwed them over, and now Fulton is after me. And he doesn't care who he has to go through to hurt me."
"So that means my daughter is in the line of fire." My mom was furious and I knew that whole thing about wanting him to be her son in law washed right out of the window.
"Trust me Mrs.Dausonn, I don't want her hurt anymore than you."
"What do mean they took Tessa?" Tyler looked pale.
"Ty, Cameron ran after them he-."
"No, no, no, no, no. What if they hurt her? What if they kill her?" He panicked pacing around the room.
"She'll be okay. They won't kill her. They just did that for an edge. They don't know what kind of importance she has to me, so they won't hurt her until they know if it will hurt me." Matthew replied fairly calm.
"Sawyer, Hayes. Are you guys okay?" I asked them.
"Yeah, we got away pretty quickly. They never even chased us." Hayes answered and I thought of Grayson.
"Okay. Sawyer?"
"I should go. H-he wants me so badly he's willing to hurt you all. I don't want that." Sawyer attempted to walk out of the door but Matthew stopped him pushing him back into the room.
"You're not going anywhere." Matthew sat him down. "Everything is going to be okay." He came over and wiped the dry blood from my arm. It had stopped bleeding so he only put a band-aid on it considering it was a small cut. The whole time he did this everyone freaked out asking questions. "Look, if worse comes to worse. I give myself up and let him kill me, that way everyone's safe." I could tell Matthew was getting irritated by everyone filling his head up with nonsense. With all of the voices I knew were yelling at him. Whenever they were yelling at him he got incredibly antsy and bit and licked his lips.
"That was a joke right?" I asked him.
"I wish it was." He whispered. I saw he was getting overly agitated by the voices so I took his hand hoping to help calm him down.
"Can you guys go, please." I told them. They filed out understandingly.
"Hayes, I'll call your brother just wait downstairs." He gave me a thumbs up and left with the rest of them.
"This was the shittiest day ever." Matthew whispered.
"Stuff happens Matthew. And the days not over yet. So why don't you over to Bailey's, apologize, buy her some flowers and take her out to lunch." I suggested.
"She's not used to my insaneness like you are, she probably doesn't want to see me again."
"You never know until you try."
"Are you going to be okay?"
"You don't have to worry about me."
"I always will."
"Thanks." He gave me a small smile before pulling me off of the counter and hugging me.
"Thank you, for protecting Sawyer. I owe you one." He lifted my arm kissing the new cut formed on my right wrist. Then following it with a kiss on my cheek. "See ya later." He said before walking out of my bedroom door. I smiled although he couldn't see it. I decided to pull my phone out and call Nash to come get Hayes.
"Sup baby cakes." He answered.
"Hi Nash."
"Woah what's with the sad, grumpy tone?" He laughed.
"I need you to come get Hayes, I'm sure he really only trusts you right now." I said ignoring his sarcastic comments.
"What happened?" He questioned loosing his joking attitude.
"Fulton was at the beach and he assaulted Cameron trying to get to me, cut my wrist with a knife, took Tessa, and I'm sure Hayes is probably a little freaked out and just wants his brother." I told him.
"Are you all okay?" He asked concern visible in his voice.
"I'm fine, Hayes and Sawyer are fine. But Im not sure about Cameron and Tessa yet. Cameron ran after Tessa but I dont know what happened." I explained.
"Okay, I'm on my way." I could tell he was feeling stressed out that his best friend and a girl he has mixed feelings for are somewhere right now doing God knows what.
I walked down stairs to find Sawyer and Matthew gone. Everyone else was still sitting there silent. I went into the kitchen after informing Hayes that his brother was on the way. I couldn't comprehend what had even happened. How it even happened. There was a knock on the door and assuming it was Nash I stayed put. Kassie answered the door and screamed. I looked immediately scared Fulton had come back. But it was Tessa in the arms of an exhausted Cameron. I ran over following Tyler who looked like he was in track. He took Tessa from Cameron and cradled her as she gripped onto his shirt. I ran over to Cameron scared that he wouldn't be able to hold his own weight.
"Cameron?" I wanted him to assure me everything was okay. That he was okay.
"I hate Matthew so much." He breathed heavily leaning on the door frame. "Where is that bastard anyway?" He growled still trying to regulate his breathing.
"I told him to go, with Sawyer." He nodded.
"I give him a little respect for helping the kid, but if it wasn't for him we wouldn't be in this mess." Cameron was angry but not over the top, I think he was too tired to be incredibly angry. He took my hand and examined me. "Are you okay?" He asked looking intently at me making sure I hadn't been bruised. I nodded not mentioning the cut.
"Are you okay? You probably need to sit down." He nodded and went into the living room plopping down next to Kassie. They made small talk as I got Cameron some ice that Im sure he could use everywhere.
"Are you any good?" I heard him ask her when I walked over.
"I don't know. I'm not amazing but I'm definitely not the worst."
"That's a start, you shouldn't worry." He told her. "You'll do great." She smiled. I went over to Cameron sitting on the arm rest of the couch.
"Where does it hurt the most?" I asked him. He thought for a moment before holding up his arm. I put his arm down and set the ice down tenderly. He stared at me and I grew uncomfortable. "What?" I asked.
"I can't figure out what you're thinking." He narrowed his eyes.
"You want to know what I'm thinking?" He nodded. "I'm thinking too much."
