Zack

In Manchester

We got to the airport, I'm pretty sure we were all jet lagged, but we couldn't leave her with Denny another day.

We had a plan, and it's as good as it's going to get.

We went to our hotel, and waited for Alex to call us with the police. Rians' phone rang and I got jittery.

I hope she's there, because if she isn't, then we wouldn't have any idea where she is.

"Guys, lets get going. Stay here Lisa, we'll bring her back safely." Rian says, Lisa hugs us all, making me nervous before we left her and Alexs' hotel room.

"Alex has the police going over there with him, they're going to wait on us apparently because if they find her they want us to be there to comfort her while she's being questioned." Rian explains. We nod and we head out, I'm shaking I'm so worried about the girl I've been in love with for years.

We get there and we talk to the police officers down the street for a minute before we go.

Kimberly

"Fuck!" I hear Denny yell, I hear him lock the door, and then come down here, "If you make any noise what so ever I'll kill you." Denny snaps.

I whimper, I've been tied up in here for probably two weeks, but it feels like longer. He hasn't fed me except a liece of bread a day and a bottle of water too, that's how I know how long I've been here.

My wrists and ankles burn with roped fire and I ache in my vagina where he has raped me multiple times. My mouth is taped shut, but I hear Denny trying to act calm as people are talking.

"Listen man, I'm just looking for my sister, and I figured she would be here." I hear Alex say. I scream loudly and I hear Denny anger.

"Well, she isn't here." He lies, I scream louder and pound my feet into the ground, hoping to be heard.

I can tell Denny gets even angrier as I'm crying out for help, I hear doors slam, and I hear an officer asking Denny where I am, where he says he won't ever tell.

I shout as loud as I can and finally the basement door opens and Zack and an officer run in. Zack unties me and quickly rips the duct tape off of my mouth, that has honestly been the least pain I've been in lately. I colapse into his arms and I cry hard, his face is pained and he wraps my legs bridal style.

"We've got one coming in, Dennison Chong, age 30, kidnaping and I'll bring in the one he abused." The police officer says, Zack carries me out of the basement as the police officer takes pictures of the room.

"Lets get you to a hospital, okay?" Alex coos. I limp into my brthers arms as Zack puts me down, and I whimper as Alex holds me. He lifts me up with ease and puts me in a police car, and this car goes to the hospital.

The police officers have to take pictures of the areas that are injured on me, excludingmy vagina. I haven't said a word because my voice is hoarse.

"Ma'am?" A policeman asks. "Can we ask you questions?"

I nod at him.

"How long were you down there?"

"About two weeks." I reply hoarsly. Alex is beside me as I'm sitting in a hospital gown in the ER in a room.

"What all did he do to you?"

I couldn't look at Alex as I replied, "He would beat me, and he had raped me maybe twice a day." I sob.

Alex had put hishand over his mouth, and I could hear him rake in breaths as he would cry.

They continued asking questions and I would answer, and after they left, Alex sang me to sleep as fluids were still punping into my body.

Alex

I held my baby sister, and then I stepped outside, the guys all followed me, but Lisa went in with her to watch over her.

"He raped and beat her." I sob, clutching onto Rian.

He holds me steady and I can see Jack cringe, and Zack had tears leaving his eyes too, that he tried to hide. I know he likes my sistef, maybe even loves her. He has for a while, and it would take an idiot not to be able to tell.

Rian rubbed my back, and I sobbed harder as I tried to calm myself down, going into a panic attack, at least my baby sister is safe now.

Kimmy is safe now.

Kimberly us safe.

KimbeRLY IS SAFE

KIM IS SAFE

DENNY IS IN JAIL

nothing will hurt her now.

I finally calmed down, and we went back inside, Lisa was standing there waiting for us, and she stated, "She's asking for you, Zack."

He nods and goes in there, I worry about them, hoping neither of them get hurt in the process of dating.

Kimberly

I ask for Zack after a two hour nap, and since only two people are alloud in at a time, I ask Lisa to give Zack and I alone time after she tells me how much of a mess he's been because he thought I left because of him.

He comes in and stands in the door frame, smiling at me. "Hey beautiful." He coos.

"Hey Zacky-poo." I reply, "Come here." I hug him tightly, kissing his cheek, "I didn't mean to hurt you guys. I didn't know this would happen. I went to break up with him so I could be with you." I whisper the last sentence.

Zack looks up at me, "Are you sure you want me?" He asks.

"Yes Zack, I really do. And as you said before you want me too. Let me be with you."

"Let me be with you, move to America with us. You could get an apartment or something, but for now, Alex wants you to live with him, so you'll be safe."

"I was planning on it, but we still have another month of tour." I explain. Zack nods.

I look at his lips and I just pull him toward me, he leans in by himself and he kissed me, a sweet sweet kiss that I've always longed. I've never felt a passionate kiss, I've never experienced love, but with Zack, I think I will.
