I woke up rubbing my temples. I look around and see that I'm not in my room. It all can't back to me and I remember what happened. I must've blacked out from hyperventilating.

I stand up and slowly turn the knob. I begin to sneak down the hall, or so I thought. I felt him grab my shoulder, but not aggressive. It was light and gentle kinda like Harry's touch. I turn around and he actually has a sweet demeanor.

"How did you sleep?" Is he serious?

"Um. Good? I have a head ache."

"Oh well I'll get the medicine. C'mon."

While walking down the hallway, I remember I stuck my phone in my back pocket. I can go to the bathroom and then Harry can come and kick his sorry ass.

"Uh yeah ok. But I need to use the restroom. Where is it?"

"Follow me." I followed him down the hall and into the tile room. I went in and shut the door. I locked it and looked around. He has a closet attached to the bathroom which means I can shut that door so he really can't hear me. So I quietly do so and then sit on the ground. I first dial Harry. It goes to voicemail. Wow now he's not even talking to me. So I call Mac. It rings a few times and then she answers.

"Hello?"

"Oh god Mac. Mac I need your help. I have no time to explain but I need you to look at my location. I'm in some apartment complex. Then wait for me outside in your car with it running." Being the understanding person she is she says 'Got it.' and hangs up. I'm going to try to get out of here. So I wait several minutes and she texts me saying she's here. Here goes nothing.

I quietly walk out and tiptoe down the hall but he's in the damn kitchen which it near the door. I get on my knees and crawl towards the door. It's still locked so this will be hard. I reach up and unlock it and thankfully he doesn't hear it. I hear him walk behind me and I put my back to the wall and he doesn't see me. He walks toward the restroom and I make a break for it.

I slam open the door and run for my life. Mac is standing in front of the car on the passengers side. I yell for her to get in, but not in time. He grab my ankle and I fall right in front of him but he fell too. He drops a gun and it clatters on the concrete. Mac runs over to get it. He tries to climb over me (scraping my face against the pavement in the process) but he isn't fast enough.

"Don't move," she said while pointing the gun at him.

"Mac no."

"Shh. No. He let's you get in the car and we leave and don't tell the cops. Simple." He nods and reaches for his back pocket and I see that there's another gun.

"No Mac! He has a gun!" She pulls the trigger and so does he. I see everything and nothing at all. Everything seems to go in slow motion. The bullets hit him in the head and he falls. Then I turn my head to see it. Mac on the ground.

I run over to her and see that it hit her. It hit her right on her chest. I turn to see if John is up but he still lays on the ground. I'm not taking any chances. I pick Mac up and put her in the passengers side and run over to the other side. I drive off in the direction of the hospital.

"Mac? Mac are you still with me?" But she just replies with a grunt.

"Mac. You're going to be okay. Stay with me."

Just then, my phone rings. It's Harry. I wipe my tears and sniffle.

"Hello?"

"Hey Alex where are you? I've been so worried."

"I don't have much time to explain just meet me at the hospital, it's Mac."

Once we get there, they take her off on a gurney and I'm sitting in the lobby alone. I'm so spaced out just trying to process what just happened. I was just kidnapped.

I see Harry frantically scanning the room. He sprints over to me.

"Hey love, it's okay. It's okay." I turn and buy my face into his shirt.

I sit and cry for a while, trying to prepare what I wanted to say. I finally worked up the courage to speak.

After I explain everything to Harry he looks pissed. Then, his eyes fill with sorrow. The nurse calls us for Mac and tells to follow her. We follow and sit down in an office like room. Then the doctor comes in.

"Hello. I'm Dr. Green. You're here for Miss, oh I mean Mrs. Robinson right?"

"Um Miss Robinson yes." I say.

"Well here it says she's a Mrs." Zayn proposed to her? Shit. I totally forgot to call him.

"Well she is not doing so well with her concussion before and now this. It isn't good for her."

"Well can I see her?" Then he leads us to get room. She looks so peaceful sleeping there.

"Um can I talk to her alone for a minute?" I really need to just tell her a few things. Even if she can't respond. They leave and I pull up a chair to her bed.

"Hey Mac, I know you can hear me because you can multitask and you don't just give up. So please don't... don't give up on me. Do it for me do it for all your family. Do it for Zayn... your fiancé. You're supposed to live your future with him and buy a house and have kids. Do it for me, please."

Just as I said that, the machine started beeping like crazy. I ran outside and yelled for a doctor. Dr. Green and several nurses swarmed the room and wouldn't let me in. Of course Harry was right there and I hugged him. We waited for about 20 minutes. Then they came out with their stained outfits on and it became clear to me. I let go of Harry. And he didn't look me in the eye.

"I... I'm very sorry. I did all that I could do."

No.

Everything's a blur.

Nothing he's saying is being processed.

I turn around and cry into Harry's chest but my knees feel week and he has to support me.

He helps me walk over to some chairs and sits down next to me.

After about an hour, I speak up.

"Her motto was never give up. She'd always tell me that."

"Believe me when I say, I will always be there for you, and so will Mac."
