Home?

Haley's POV.

We have been driving for hours and then we finally stop at this raggedy, old building. What are we doing here? This isn't my home.

"When we get out Lance, hold her and do not let her go. Eli you and Brad got the guns right?" Tiger asked.

They just nod their heads. Jam so confused right now.

"Now her parents are in here so we wait and let them give us the money. Brad you look in the bag and make sure everything is in there. Then Lance you hand her over. Okay? Everyone got it?" He says quickly.

Everyone nods again. I'm still so confused. My parents to are in there and I'm finally going to get to go home but how can I be so sure.

I go to move my hands but they are tied together. Well that's just great.

We all get out and we follow Tiger into the building. We walk the stairs all the way up to the rooftop. This place is so freaky.

When we get to the rooftop, I see my parents and my brother, Leah and her family, and Austin and his family but he is hugged up to a girl that I do not know.

They are here. My family is here. O feel tears going down my face as I look at their wide eyes. I know I look like a mess with all this dirt and blood on me. I'm beat up and stabbed. I'm surprised that I haven't bled to death. Lance has his arms wrapped around me to comfort me in secretive but to look like its keeping me from running.

No I haven't forgave him from giving me a black eye but I'm going home I will never see him again. So it doesn't matter.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here. Your little family Haley. Aren't they so cute." Tiger says with an evil grin.

"Just give her to us." My father says.

"Oh Johnny. How have you been? Long time no see. Well, I want what's mine." Tiger says giving my dad a glare.

"You can have it." My dad says while throwing a bag into the air and it landing right in the middle.

You see they are on one side of the building and we are on the other side so the bag landed in the middle.

Brad, I'm guessing that's his name ran up to the bag checked inside of it and ran back with the back in his hands. Tiger motioned with his hand to let Lance know that he can start walking with me to the middle.

"I'm sorry for hitting you. I was just upset about what he did." Lance whispered as we were walking.

"Well I forgive you because I'm never seeing you again. So it doesn't really matter anymore." I whisper back.

"I know I'm just........ I'm glad you finally got back to your family. It's been a rough journey." He whispers as he turns me around to cut the ropes from my hands.

"I'm glad I'm back too. Hey, it was nice to meet you. I just kind of wished it wasn't like this." I let out a little laugh.

He gave me a hug and I wrapped my arms around his waist. I mean why not? He kept me sane while I was away and he was really friendly.

We pull away and I turn around to see my family. They are all crying and shocked to see me. This is it. I'm finally home. They are right in front of me. What's the worst that can happen.

As I go to limp my way toward them because you know my hurt leg, I hear helicopters coming near us. Then out of no where police officers and FBI agents come running in shooting at Tiger and them. Lance comes and tackles me so I don't get hit by bullets.

"I thought I told you know police." Tiger says as he gets shot.

After a few seconds everything was silent and Lance was thrown off me and held at gun point by police. They were handcuffing him. He was starring at me with tears in his eyes. Then my family came and surrounded me hugging me, crying, and asking so many questions. I pushed them off of me to see three bodies lying dead on the ground. I was happy because they were finally dead now. I was finally home and there was nothing that can happen. I can finally go back to my life. They were dead and I'm with my family. Now with Lance I don't want him to get in trouble. I want him to live his life and don't have to worry about this stuff.

"Hey. It's alright. He actually saved me and he helped me escape but me being stupid they found me again but, I'm home now so you can let him go. No charges or no restraining order. I want him to have a normal life." I say while limping over there.

The police have me this strange look but they let him go and left. Everyone was leaving and Lance helped me get out of the building and into an ambulance so they can check me out to make sure I'm okay.

I don't know what I'm feeling. I can't describe it but it's a great feeling. I have a story that will change people lives because the is what happened to me. Never would I have thought that this would happen to me. But it did. I'm going to be the girl who has to live with this for the rest of my life. I know I will never forget this. I can tell things change by the way everyone acts around each other. I hope we move back to Georgia being that I'm here. I miss all my friends too and being that my family moved to California, I can't see them. I will fix everything and make it right. For now, I'm just going to enjoy my life.
