“You, what?” I ask pulling away slowly. He stares at me wide eyed.

“I didn’t mean to say that.” He says panicking. I jump up off of his lap. “I’m sorry. I don’t know why I said that.” I run out of the bathroom and open up the moving bus’ door.

“Air what are you doing?” Jay grabs my wrists, thinking I’m going to jump out.

“I need to get out of this bus.” I whisper, not able to breath. I have to take in many deep breaths before I’m able to fill my lungs with air. “I. Can’t. Breath.” I choke out between breaths.

“What happened?” I hear Max’s voice say in front of me but I can’t see him clearly because my vision is blurry.

“Nath. An.” I cough.

“What’d he do?” Tom enters into the blurriness around me.

“He. Said. He’s. In. Love. With. Me.” My legs cave and I collapse on the floor.

“Oh, she’s having a panic attack. Real smooth Nath.”  Tom says sarcastically.

“I didn’t mean to!” I hear Nathan shout. “It was like I had no control over my brain. And again it’s all my fault. Maybe she would be better off without me.” His voice is now closer, and my breathing starts going back to normal. My vision no longer blurred, and I can actually feel my legs again. I lift up my head.

“I think I’m okay now, I just, need to be alone. Do you mind if we just stop the bus for a few minutes?” I ask standing up. Siva leaves and the bus stops then he comes back.

“There. Be back in 3 minutes.” Siva says and I hop out of the bus. Even though it’s like 1 in the morning the highway is still busy, but it’s a lot better than being in that stuffy bus… with Nathan. Does he really love me? Or is he like Mike and just wants to make me his bitch? I wish I didn’t have to deal with this, I wish I could have just jumped off that roof and all of this would be over with. I could end it now; I am on a busy highway, by myself. No one to save me.

My feet move closer to the cars zooming past. Once I see that a car is at the right place that it wouldn’t be able to stop I jump onto the road. But before I can feel the impact of the car something pushes me away and I hear a screech, a scream, and a loud moan.

Soon I realize that the scream is my own, the screech is all the cars surrounding me and the moan… is Nathan’s. I look around in horror and my eyes land on Nathan. He’s lying on the ground, twitching, and the car that was supposed to kill me in front of him. I run over to him sobbing, “Nathan!” I scream. His eyes open.

“Well this isn’t good.” He whispers. All of the boys come running out of the bus.

“”What the hell happened?!?” Max shouts.

“I couldn’t let her,” Nathan starts but gets stopped by a coughing fit involving lots of blood. “Die because of me.” He finally finishes before he is completely out.

“Call an ambulance!”  I shout at them.

“But we’re in the middle of the highway.” Jay says. I stand up and face him.

“I don’t care if I have to bring the hole fucking hospital staff by their ears over here! They are going to come whether they want to or not! I’m not gonna let my retardedness kill Nathan you dumb ass! Do you want him to die!?!” I’m now screaming in his face and he starts shaking his head frantically then runs back into the bus, which I hope means he’s calling 911.

I fall to my knees and start screaming, my nails digging into my palms, reopening closed wounds. I here a car door slam shut then I feel someone standing over me.

“Are you okay… wait a second. Ariana?” He says, I don’t even need to look at him to know who it is. I’d recognize that voice anywhere, anytime. “Look at me you fucking bitch! I’ve been looking for you everywhere!” He grabs a chunk of my hair and pulls me off the ground. “I said look at me!” I lift my head in terror.

“Please don’t hurt me.” I let myself say. He laughs.

“I’ve been looking for you fucking everywhere! And this is where you are? Wondering around the highway, I knew you were a psychopath! How did you even end up here!?!” He shouts, spitting on me in the process.

“Hey Air, the ambulance, hey what the fuck!” I see Max staring at Mike and I in confusion.

“Who the hell are you!?! And how the fuck do you know my Ariana?” Mike spits in disgust at Max.

“For starters Air is not yours!” Tom comes over to us. “And second he’s Max, and I’m Tom. I assume your Mike?”

“How do you know my name!?!” Mike asks but then glares at me. “Oh I see. You told these pathetic British boys about me. Have you forgotten about what I said I’d do if you told anyone?” He pulls a large pocket knife out of his pocket.

“Hey man. C’mon, we’re not gonna tell anyone. Let’s just put out weapons away and talk this out instead of using violence.” Jay tries to reason with Mike but it’s no use. I know he’ll never change his mind.

“Just let him do this, you guys go.” I try to tell them but Mike gives me a look telling me to shut up.

“So you’ve been staying with these pricks!?! I assume that boy over there and the dead boy on the ground are also part of this little ‘group’?” He gestures to Nathan and Siva. “You’re such a whore.”

“Says the guy who made her strip and raped her!” Tom throws his arm back and punches Mike. He falls to the ground, releasing me from his grip. I run over to him and bury myself in his arms.

“Thank you.” I whisper. He takes my hand and we all run away from him and back into the bus. “Wait! What about Nathan?” I cry out just as I hear sirens approaching.

“He’s being taken care of.” Jay says.

“So what are we going to tell everyone?”

Okay, so VERY eventful chapter. I was like crying as I wrote this even though I’m the one making it up :P

I, being my very smart self, decided to start ANOTHER book (which is an original) so now I have 3 things I need to update. Plus I have school (and I didn’t do my homework so I could finish this) and I have been very busy with personal things so I have a lot to do. And of course I have a math test tomorrow but I forget what it’s about (blondie)

But since I love writing I will keep putting off all of my other stuff so I can update. And the book with the most people saying I need to update, will be the first books I update. Sounds like a good system to me J

Please…
