Sorry this took so long

Zoey's pov.

I grabbed my phone and opened it up to see the message. My eyes scanned the screen and my face instantly went pale when I read it.

You are mine and Kian will soon know that! You have to leave him unless you want another episode of 'Matt'~Jack

My heart dropped and tears pricked my eyes. I knew I would break down crying any second and I couldn't just leave without telling someone where I was going. I saw Ricky and rushed up to him and wiped away the tears and put on a fake smile.

I shout out his name hopeing to get his attention but the music was too loud. I walk up to him and dodge all of the dancing drunk people and I'm soon face to face with a smiling Ricky.

"I need to go for a walk so if Kian is looking for me just tell him that, OK?" I shout loud in his ear and he looks confused but nods. I sprint out of the house as fast as I could and as soon as I'm outside I couldn't keep in the tears anymore.

The cold breeze hits me and I instantly shudder but that wasn't my concern right now. I ran and didn't stop until after about 10 minutes I reached a big tree. I decided to climb up as high as I could before I broke down in tears.

When I reached as high as I could go I curled up in a ball hugging my knees tight to my chest. Tears started to pour out as all the memories came back. The last part of the text Jack sent me broke my heart all over again.

'you have to leave him unless you want another episode of Matt'

Matt...my best friend....my first love...The boy I loved so much....The boy who Jack killed...The boy who died because I didn't leave him.
for Jack.

I remember everything that happened. Matt and I were childhood friends and I had a massive crush on him. I loved him but I was completely sure he didn't like me. So I dated Jack.

Worst mistake I had every done. Matt found out about Jack abusing me and he got so mad and upset and he confessed his love for me. The end of that q I had broken up with Jack and gotten together with Matt...my real love.

After only a few weeks of our relationship it was going amazing but it all went downhill when we got a text message from Jack. He was threatening us saying that I didn't belong with Matt and after a while the threats got worse.

He said if I didn't leave Matt he would kill him. Matt said he wouldn't do it and we just took it to the police. We didn't think Jack would do something so crazy but I came home one day and found out we were both wrong.

He was dead with two bullet holes in him with a note attached to his shirt that said 'you should of left him when you had the chance'. It was all my fault Matt died because I didn't leave him and now the same thing will happen if I don't leave Kian.

I couldn't bare to lose Kian let alone know it was my fault. If I stayed with Kian, Jack will kill him just like he did with Matt. I knew that there was only one way to keep Kian safe even if it meant breaking both of our hearts.

I had to do what Jack wanted I couldn't let Kian die... I couldn't. How would I break up with him though I loved Kian. He loved me. Why did I have to do this!!??

I started to cry even more at the thought of losing Kian. Before I could think anymore about what heartbreaking decision I would do I felt my phone buzz for the 2nd time that night.

I sniffed and tried to clear my vision because my tears were getting in the way. I opened it and my lip shaked at who it was from. Jack! I opened it up and read what he sent me.

'Oh and by the way Kian can't know the reason why you are leaving him or he might just get hurt!'

Why is this so difficult!? Why did I ever have to meet Jack!? Why did it have to be me!? I sat up straight and took in a deep shaky breath. I needed to think about what I have to do.

I shifted my back because some of the sticks were digging into it and I got as comfortable as I could. How was I going to break up with kian, I needed to give him a reason so what would I say to him.

After a few dreadful moments of thinking about how I would do things I finally decided. I would tell Kian that I couldn't date him because I don't love him anymore.

I know that sounds so harsh but it's the only thing that would make him leave me. I knew how I was going to do it but it all depended on when. I remembered that one of the texts that I got from when I was with Matt was that I had 3 days to I'm assuming that's how long.

I would have to move out of the 02l house, leaving the boys, leave my brother, leave Kian. I wouldn't go back to Jack but I had to keep Kian safe it's for his own good. I would need a place to stay and I knew Stacy would help me out.

Stacy was the one who helped out with Kian and mine date and she has always been there for me so I know she would let me stay with her. I had most likely been gone for an hour and I didn't want Kian to freak out to much so I decided I should start to go home.

On the way I tried to wipe away all the tears and it wouldn't look like I cried by the time I get there. I walked in the cold night and I knew I had to accept the fact that Kian and I have to break up for his safety.

Kians pov.

I had asked nearly everyone if they had seen Zoey, no one has. I went up to Ricky to ask him. Before I could ask him I felt someone tap on my shoulder.

I turned around quickly and I soon saw the person I had been looking for...Zoey but I could tell something was wrong.
