"I know who killed me. And I can prove it."

"Who?!" Pony asked, staring at me wide eyed. I sat back on the bed, flashes of that day coming back to me.

I drove down the road, on the way to the drugstore. I could see a dark SUV coming from the side. CRASH!

A dark SUV... I know that car..

*10 years earlier*
Jonathan and I played in the yard, passing the ball to each other and laughing. I giggled and threw it too high so he had to jump. I laughed as he caught it. A dark SUV pulled up and a man got out. He grabbed Jonathan's arm. I watched, unsure of what to do.

"Let's go. We're leaving." The man ordered. Jonathan squirmed out of his reach.

"Dad, I don't wanna go!" He begged and pleaded as his dad put him in the car and sped away, leaving me standing there with my ball. 

Jonathan's dad had died two years ago, when i was 16. It was all over the news, apparently he owed a lot of money to a lot of people. I groaned and held my head, which was pounding.

"It was Jonathan.." Saying his name aloud gave me the chills. I remembered things, things I had been trying to forget for so long.

Tied up.
Beaten, bruised.
A dark, familiar laugh.

I shuddered, closing my eyes. Don't remember, don't remember, don't remember. I opened them again, and Ponyboy was looking at me, concerned. He held my hands.

"Autumn, are you sure it was him?" He asked, gently. I nodded.

"I'm positive." I hugged him tightly. "He's the one that kidnapped me too. And almost killed our baby," My eyes widened, "Oh my god, our baby, CJ! Where is she, I need to see her, I need to see my baby girl!"

"It's okay, Angel, we can go see her. She's with Finn." He told me. I groaned slightly.

"That won't work.." I whined. He looked confused. "Finn kinda hates me. He thinks that I'm trying to replace..myself." I sighed, looking down.

"It's okay, babe, well figure this out. I promise." He said, kissing me softly. I smiled and kissed back.
