Someone was going to die because of me. That's all i could think about, it was my fault that someone was going to die. I was going to become a murderer.
I was stuck in my head again, over-thinking everything. I needed to get out, i couldn't cope with the stress.
Pull yourself together Rob, I thought to myself over and over again. But the more i repeated those words, the less likely it was for them to come true. Someone was going to die because of me, and if i had just kept my big mouth shut... i guess i wouldn't be in this situation.
April... or mum. I couldn't chose between my girlfriend and my mother. Most people would have chosen their mother in an instant, but i was my decision would lead to someones death and i didn't want that.
I couldn't have yet another person leave my life. I just wouldn't be able to handle it.
I needed to get out of my own head, before it would be too late and the decision would be made for me. I just hoped for once in my life, fate was on my side.

The pickup truck pulled out of the parking lot with both April and Rob in it. I couldn't help but wonder why someone would knock them unconscious before taking them away.
If i thought their relationship was weird before, i thought it was even weird now.
Which again, makes me wonder why i got in my car, left my date behind, and tailgated the shit out of that pickup truck.
When it arrived at a dark and empty warehoused, i was officially weirded out to the max. I watched from a distance as the guy in the tuxedo took a body bag with what I assumed was an unconscious Rob.
He took off the bag and it sure as hell was.
I sunk lower in my seat, suppressing a gasp.
Tuxedo guy tied him to a chair-- his head lolling and everything.
First his arms, then his legs and last-- the chair was tied to a pole.
He grabbed April next, and took her to sit at a chair on the opposite of the room. Judging by Rob's angle, he wouldn't have been able to see her.
April gained consciousness first and started kicking and screaming the tuxedo guy. He slapped her hard across the face, and she was shocked long enough for him to tie her down too.
It took everything in me not to get out of the car and drop kick the tuxedo guy. I knew well enough that he wouldn't have been alone, so i waited and waited... and waited.
Soon enough, Rob gained consciousness and looked up at the tuxedo guy. He looked around and i assumed he was looking for April but, the light on her side of the warehouse had been turned off.
I missed something, because when i looked back at the tux guy, he threw his head back and erupted in laughter. Another guy walked in then-- tall guy with really light hair but his eyes were the same deep green as Rob's.
He looked like a relative-- maybe even his father, given the way he walked and his small composure.
He was talking to Rob and April screamed something and got slapped again, i bit my tongue down and slid lower in my seat.
Rob looked furious, but he couldn't say anything because his tongue was being held down by a piece of material. His dad was talking, and the tux guy seemed to have walked away.
