Chapter 2
Craig's POV
I threw my phone against the wall next to the rack Of guitars and basses, it broke into pieces but I didnt care right now, I was too pissed. I was pacing back and forth and the guys just stared at me looking a bit worried.
I stopped and looked at them "What?!"
TJ walked up To me With Robert, Monte and Michael In tow. "Tell us what the Fuck happened. Is she OK, is she hurt?" He asked With wide eyes.
I sighed angrily. "The stupid son Of a bitch has been abusing her since the week we left for tour, do You guys fucking know how long she's taken a beating from that prick?! Five fucking months and I've been here, partying and drinking without having a clue that my sweetheart is living In hell! I have To go home. I need To save her from that motherfucker!" They were all shocked and completely worried now. "Do we cancel the last show cuz I mean...it's tomorrow night..then we go home the next day?" Michael said. I thought about it.."I really don't wanna disappoint our fans at all. But I won't perform right knowing she's getting hurt at home...I dont know what we should do..." I sighed. TJ was frustrated right now so he plopped himself onto the couch that was behind him, burying his face In his hands. "Tell her To leave. Run away until we get there. Somewhere he won't find her. Then when we get home, she can come live With us..." He mumbled. I didn't think that was a bad idea...but I need To see her now. Have her In my arms, tell her I Love her and everything is gonna be OK now.
I glanced over to my phone that was on the floor, shattered "Teej, let me see your phone, I need To call her.." He quickly handed me his phone and I dialed right away. It rang about four times before she answered. "Hello? TJ?" She whispered. "No, no it's me, Craig. Listen Love, I want You To run away somewhere he can't find You. We'll be there In two days OK. Please just do as I say...please." she sighed "OK, but where do I go? And I can't pack my stuff yet because He's upstairs sleeping and what if I wake him?" She said in a fast voice. "Don't pack your stuff up yet, I'll do it when I get there but for now just....You know what? Go To mine and TJ's house. He won't look there. I hope."
"How do I get In?" she asked
"There's a key under a pot outside. The gray pot, left side of the door." I said
She sighs softly and says "OK, I'll go after James leaves for work"
"Alright, just leave as soon as possible. And he better not do anything To You when he wakes up!" I said pissed off again. I heard her sniffling softly.
"Put me on speaker" she told me and I touched the speaker sign on the screen. "You're on, hun"
She breathed out "Craig, TJ, Bryan, Michael, Robert. I Love You guys, you're the five best things To have ever enter my heart. Please come home soon because I wanna have each and every one Of You In my arms."
Me and the guys were so hurt by what she's been going through. "We Love You too. We'll be home soon, don't worry" Monte said back To her. The other guys yelled "We fucking Love You!"
TJ's eyes were tearing up and he grabbed the phone from my hands, taking it off speaker. It was really quiet now so we could still hear what she said "Sweetheart, it's me TJ. I want You To be as safe as You can be for when we get there, OK. I Love You so much"
She cried "I promise you i will try. I Love You too TJ"
He sighed "Bye, beautiful"
"Bye, Teej" she whispered. Then he hung up and slid his phone In his back pocket.
We all look around at each other With the most saddest faces. How could I be alright when my bestfriend is being abused. I Love her...I Love her so much...not as a friend but as something more. I'm so IN Love With her. I just don't think that she feels the same. She sees me more as a friend than a boyfriend...I wanna tell her but I'm not willing To risk ruining our friendship because I can't control my feelings.
Sammi's POV
I put my phone down after TJ and I hung up. James must be up already cuz I heard footsteps coming downstairs. Then he appeared, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Good morning babe" he yawned
I couldn't believe he pretends everything is alright. "Morning" I whispered.
He walked up To me pulling me towards him so my body was against his. "I'm gonna go shower so I can go work. When I get back here I expect You To have something ready for me To eat" He smirked, making me roll my eyes. "Don't do that!" He snapped squeezing my arms leaving marks on them. I looked down but he picked my head up, kissing me by force. "Get used To it because this is how it's gonna be when you're my wife" He pecked my lips quick then he walked off To my bathroom To shower.
He actually thinks I would marry his stupid ass. NO THANKS. FUCK THAT SHIT.
After 20 minutes he came out and was already dressed for work. I was sitting at my table In the dining room. He walked In and sat In front Of me. "This is real good babe" he said taking a bite Of the chocolate chip pancakes I made for him. Yeah, You may think I'm a little bitch and a fucking pushover...Whatever. I only did it so I wouldn't provoke him. He gets mad when hes hungry and everytime he wakes up, hes hungry. I have to keep him happy for now, that way I would keep the promise I made To TJ.
He finished his breakfast up then kissed me goodbye as he walked out the door. I peeked through the window To see him get into his car and pull out Of my driveway. I sighed In relief when I saw him leave. I'm getting ready To make my escape.
I run upstairs to my room and grab one bag. Grab a few clothes and stuff them In the bag quickly. I unplug my chargers out Of my wall and put them inside the bag as well. I get my makeup bag and my accessories and put the In a smaller separate bag. My guitar in its case and I swing it over my shoulder. My phone and laptop are downstairs so I'll get those on my way out.
If I need anything else before the guys get back I'm sure I'll find it at their house.
I run downstairs and turn off every light that is on leaving myself surrounded only by the sunlight coming from the windows. The house is quiet and calm. I grab my phone, laptop and keys off the coffee table and walk out locking my door extra so James wouldn't break In once he notices I'm gone.
I get inside my car and put my bags In the trunk. Starting up the car, I stare out the window looking at my house. I sigh and pull out Of the driveway.
