Forever Young

10. The Gun

~Lily's P.O.V.~

"Well, are you excited?" McKinlee asked.

I beamed and nodded. "Very! But I'm still nervous." I said.

"Yeah, but you're gonna look great up there!" She smiled.

"Thanks."

Tomorrow was my first show. Gosh was I nervous about falling or looking like a deer in head lights. I know it would be fun, but still...

"Well, I'm gonna go. I'll be back as soon as I can." McKinlee stated.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Uhh... Out..." She stuttered.

"With Austin?" I smirked.

"Aren't Ty and Will coming over?" She asked. I nodded. She then gave me a wink and waved walking out the door.

"Hey! I'm going to pick up our Chinese food. Be back in a few." Brooke stated.

"Ok." I said not even looking up from my magazine.

Once I was done looking through the magazine, I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the pitcher of water when I heard the door slam. Will and Ty are here early.

"Hey, You don't have to slam the-" I gasped, dripping the pitcher of water. It smashed onto the ground sending glass everywhere.

"You made a mess, baby." Mason frowned.

"Get out of my house!" I yelled. Mason took a step towards me and I took one back, trying not to step on the glass.

"Lily... Why do you run from me?" He said hurt. But I didn't care. I wanted him to hurt!

"Get away from me."

"Well, you see. I'm not gonna do that. They took you away from me. Now I'm here to get you back."

"You should still be in prison, you freak!" I yelled throwing a glass plate at Mason's head.

"Ugh! Get back here, slut!" He growled, but I kept running.

I couldn't make it to the front door so I went upstairs. I kept throwing things at him. Picture frames. Paintings. Anything I could find.

I ran into my room and slammed the door, locking it. Grabbing my phone off my bed, I ran to the bathroom, locking that door too.

'Come on, Come on!" I silently urged my ringing phone. I called the person I knew was already on their way over hear. I heard Mason breaking down my bedroom door.

"Come out, come out wherever you are..." He slurred. Tears were forming in my eyes.

"Hello?" Ty answered.

"BOOM!" One good kick and Mason was in my room. The tears spilled and I jumped and tried to talk.

"Ty... Mason is here. Please! Hurry! Help me!" I sobbed.

"Oh.. You're in the bathroom..." Mason said. I could see his shadow beneath the door.

"Hurry.." I cried.

"Knock, knock." Mason said. "GO AWAY!" I screamed with tears, splashing my clothes. I know what he's capable of.

Mason continued to knock on the door. Each time he knocked getting harder... Until his bloody hand burst through the wooden door. I silently screamed. My bathroom was pretty spacious. I was hiding in the closet where I kept towels and cosmetics. I could see Mason through the small crack in the door. He was in the bathroom with me. He yanked back the shower curtain and grunted. Then smirked coming over the closet. It was now or never.

"I'm impressed you can fit in this tiny cabinet." He smirked.

He stood in front of the cabinet and smirked, then yanked open the doors. But what he didn't know was that I was ready. As soon as the door open I sprayed hair spray all in his eyes and kicked him backwards, hoping he'd fall into the tub.

"Run! Run! Run!" I told myself.

I rushed down the stair skipping 3 at a time. When I reached downstairs I could hear him screaming at me. When I turned around, for some unknown reason, I saw his red puffy eyes searching for something in his jacket. And that's when I saw the gun lying on the ground at his feet. I ran out the door and down the street. I didn't make it far before a Black Chevy truck coming towards me was doing at least 80 miles an hour. I was screaming and flagging it down. But little did I know that it was coming to rescue me. Before I knew it. The truck slammed on breaks and an infuriated Ty swung open the door.

"Lily! Thank God you're okay!" He said pulling me into his arms. I was crying. I couldn't get the image of the gun out of my mind.

I knew he was crazy, but I didn't think he would want to kill me! I cried harder. Just as I pulled away, I saw a frantic Brooke pull up beside Ty.

"What's going on!" She exclaimed.

"Brooke, stay with Lily. We'll explain later." Will stated hopping back in the truck.

"Let's go." Ty said jumping in the driver's seat and speeding off down to the beach house.

"NO!" I screamed.

"Lily, it's okay! What's wrong!?"

"MASON!" I choked.

"He's back!" She exclaimed. I nodded still sobbing.

"We have to go!"

"But Will and Ty are taking care of that bastard."

"No! You don't understand! Mason has a gun."
