Everyone that was in Europe was finally on a plane headed home. Alex had Tom and Hayley on drugs until they could get them to LA. Alex looked over to his left at the two of them. Tom was in the window seat, and Hayley was in the middle seat. The two looked like a couple even while asleep. Hayley's head rested on Tom's shoulder, and his head leaned slightly on top of hers. Alex sighed and looked around. He wanted to look anywhere but at them.

"Vic! Hey, Vic," he whispered. He kept trying to get his attention, but Vic was asleep. He slowly woke up and turned around to face Alex.

"What?" He asked grumpily. Alex gave him small smile in return.

"Wanna trade seats?" Alex asked. Vic was sitting next to his brother and Cody. Anything was better than having to watch Hayley and Tom cuddle.

"I guess..." Vic said. He looked further into Alex's row, and saw why Alex was so uncomfortable. They both got up, and traded seats. Alex now sat right next to Cody, who he wasn't really on good terms with either.

Alex was still kinda pissed at Cody for shooting Hayley. Cody could feel the tension, but chose to ignore it. He felt that he did the right thing. Alex said to shoot if they tried anything, and that's what he did. He couldn't understand why he didn't shoot Tom, too.

As the plane landed, Tom started to wake up. Vic and Alex had switched back to their original seats. Tom looked out the window, and then over at Alex. His eyes were so wide that Alex had to smile. Tom looked at Hayley with her head resting on Alex's shoulder. Alex moved her earlier because he was a jealous mess.

"Where are we?" Tom asked. His strong British accent stood out among all of the American voices. Alex wanted to face him, but didn't want to wake Hayley.

"California," Alex said. Tom's mouth dropped, and his eyes filled with panic.

"California... like America?" Tom asked as he looked out the window. His heart was racing as he assessed the situation. He was with Alex, who was probably going to kill him, in America, which he knew nothing about.

It came time to get off the plane, and they had to do it strategically. Alex got off first, carrying Hayley as she slept. Her head rested against his chest, and he had one arm under her back and the other arm under her knees. He carried her off, and left Vic in charge of his guys.

They had Tom in the middle of everything so they could keep an eye on him. Everyone else had backpacks full of clothes, but Tom had nothing. As he walked he tried to think of a way to get out. Surely they didn't have weapons with them. They wouldn't have made it through security. But he also didn't want to leave Hayley, who was still asleep in Alex's arms.

They piled into multiple cabs, and went to a huge building. Tom watched Alex get out and meet a tall, tattooed guy. They both put one of Hayley's arms over their shoulders and helped her inside. She looked like she walked a little bit, meaning she'd woken up.

"He's probably gonna put a bullet through her head," one of the guys in the cab with Tom said. He started to panic again.

"What? Why?" Tom asked quickly. He was squished in between the two guys, but neither wanted to answer him.

"Not Hayley, so chill." Someone stepped out from the back door and waved everyone inside. Everyone got out of the cabs and started inside. Tom was quickly shuffled inside, and then grabbed and brought into an all white room.

"What the fuck?" He asked. Alex closed and locked the door. Tom looked around the room. It was basically empty, and he couldn't figure out what a room like that would be used for. The tattooed guy from before was also in the room, and Tom started to tense up again.

"I need your help with something," Alex started. Tom gave him a suspious look. "And in return, I'll let you see Hayley whenever you want." Tom's face softened. He still had no idea what they were doing in America, but he did like the possibility of seeing Hayley.

"What is it that you need help with?" Tom asked. Alex smiled and looked at the tattooed guy.

"Oliver and you are going to distract Tay long enough for me to kill her. And I'm not going into details. Oli will tell you what you need to know. See you soon, brother," Alex said, and walked out. Tom looked at the tattooed man in front of him. He'd finally learned his name, and he thought it suited him well.

"Basically, I'm gonna turn you in. Or at least try. Tay won't know who you are so she won't actually want to lock you up. Let's get going," Oli told him. He unlocked the door, and guided Tom around in the maze of a building. As they neared a locked door, Oli grabbed Tom's arm. Oli used a card to unlock the door, and tugged Tom inside with him.

"Tay!" Oli yelled as he walked down the hallway. His grip on Tom's arm kept getting stronger and stronger. Tom was already feeling sore from it. "Tay! Tay!"

"What the fuck- who's this?" Tay questioned as she came out of a room. Tom stared with his mouth wide open. Who was this girl?

"He's one of them," Oli insisted. Tay rolled her eyes and tried to grab Tom from Oli. Oli panicked a little inside his head, and moved Tom slightly closer to him.

"I'll take him for examination," Tay said, sticking her hand out. Oli tried to come up with something.

"That's fine, I'll do it. But I do have one more question," Oli said. He was trying to keep going as long as possible. It was just so hard to have a conversation with her.

"What?" She said. She was growing impatient with him. First he brought a nobody into the building, and then he was wasting her time.

"My key card has kind of been acting up lately. Do you remember who is supposed to be in charge of that?" He asked slowly. Tay sighed, and closed her eyes. Before she could give an answer, there were a bunch of gunshots. Tom ducked behind Oli, hoping not to get hit. Oli took note of that, and knew he'd have to mention it to Alex.

With Tay dead on the floor, Alex knew he could take back control. He personally hooked her back up to the drugs that she'd been on for years. Things were back to the way they should be. At least in Alex's mind.

A/N: so I need a lot of feedback right now. I'm having trouble writing the next chapter because I don't know what direction to go in. I do want this story to end soon, but I don't have an ending yet or really anything in mind. The big thing right now is do you want Hayley with Alex or Tom? I have ideas for both, so it's up to you readers.
