Its been two days since Tristen has talked to me. I don't know why he wont talk to me. Ever since we had that talk when he drove me away from his home. My leg has been hurting a lot more. I haven't eaten anything. I take a shower every night but the rest of the day I crawl into a ball on the bed. I believe the last time I saw him was yesterday when he put the crutches in the room and left. Didn't say a word and just walked out like nobody was in here. I wish I knew what was wrong. If not I'm just going to walk out for this house and forget about Tristen.

--------------------------------------------

Another day passed and he still hasn't talked to me. That's it, I'm done! I don't need anything except my crutches. I grab my crutches and began walking downstairs. I see Tristen pacing back and forth. Throwing things on the ground. I need to do this but it hurts so much. What's the point anymore I told him I love him and then he does this. Yeah I can definitely walk out those doors. I made it to the last step and Tristen looked at me. I shook it off and began hopping to the door. "Kyndall?" he said. I turned around facing those eyes of his. We look at each other for a while then I couldn't stand it anymore. I turned around and walked out the door. "Kyndall!" he yelled but I didn't listen. You waited this long to talk to me and when you do is when I'm walking out the door.

I hear things getting thrown around in the house but I continue to hop. I'm hoping that he would come out here and stop me. But I just continue to hop down the street. I have no car and nothing to take me to where I'm going. Where was I going anyway. I guess anywhere to get away from this. "Kyndall!" I turned around and was met with someones lips. I opened my eyes to met those gorgeous eyes. He picked me up bridal style and carried me back to the house.

I couldn't stop looking at him. How much I missed him holding me showed. But something was different right now. Like we stopped for some odd reason. I stopped looking at Tristen to see what happened. Oh my this couldn't be happening. It was Jake.

--------------------------------------------

It was Jake but he wasn't alone. He had about 5 other guys behind him. What was he doing here? Why can't he just leave me alone. I don't want him. I want Tristen.

"What are you doing here?" Tristen asked.

"Like I told you before this wasn't over." he signaled his guys to attack.

Tristen placed me on the ground and ran at them. But he was out numbered and I couldn't help him. Punch after punch blood starting coming off of him. I got down on my knees and started to cry. I started all of this. Even though I started started all of this I couldn't help. I couldn't save the one I loved.

Jake stared me down to make sure this was hurting me. Of course it was hurting me. Why else would he do this? "Jake stop please." I pleaded.

"I'm going to make him suffer I like you did to me when you left. I told you I want you and I always get what I want." he said with a smirk.

"But I don't want you!" he looked at me confused. "I WANT TRISTEN!" I yelled.

Everybody stopped what they were doing to look at me. But I didn't care about anybody else. All I care about is Tristen. I look over at him and there was blood dripping from his mouth. He had a black eye but his eyes never left mine. What I said was right and true. I didn't want anybody but Tristen. We just starred at each other while everybody else was wondering what just happened. He mouthed, "I love you" to me and and I mouthed it back.

But then Jake came over to Tristen. Grabbed his hair and started throwing punchings in his ribs. "Is this what you want. You want somebody worthless. Somebody who can't protect you." he Tristen to some of the other guys to hold him up. "He isn't the man that I am."

"Your right he isn't the man that you are." A smirk was plastered on his face. "He is twice the man you will ever be. He is everything that I need and WANT! No matter what happens I will always love him!" I yelled at Jake.

Jake ran over to me and grabbed my chin to look at him, " Do you want to repeat that?" he asked. I nodded cause I didn't care what he did to ME. I only cards about Tristen and what he was going to do to him. He smacked me across the face, "I will make you regret saying that." And with that he snapped his fingers and all of them fleaded.

I ran as fast as I could over to Tristen. He was laying on the ground with blood everywhere. Why did Jake do this? I only want Tristen and I will never want Jake ever again.

I tried to pick Tristen up but I was to weak. I grabbed my crutches and apparently that worked. I helped him inside on the bed. I laid him and started to get the first aid kit.

--------------------------------------------

Tristen's POV:

I woke up with extreme pain in my face. I looked at my knuckles and they were all patched up. Everything was patched up from yesterday. When Kyndall said she only wanted me I knew I was always in love with her. Speaking of Kyndall where is she? I turned around in the bed and noticed Kyndall in a tiny little ball. Aw she must be cold. I moved across the bed and snuggled close to her. She snuggled up closer to me and I fell asleep with her in my arms.

--------------------------------------------

Kyndall's POV:

I felt someones arms around me so I snuggled closer to the warmth. I missed this so much. Just to be in someones arms makes my life even better. I opened my eyes to see his gorgeous face. It was bruised up but I had to touch it. I reached up to touch his face. It was still beautiful even with all these bruises. But then his eyes popped off and he grabbed my wrist. I was frightened and apparently he could tell I was scared. "I'm sorry." he said rubbing circles on my hand.

"Its okay." I said smiling into his eyes. "Are you feeling any betted?" I asked.

"I am now because your by my side." he said and I blushed. I gave him a kiss and snuggled closer to him. "Even though I would love stay like this forever. We need to get you somewhere safe." he said kissing my forehead.

I rolled my eyes. He doesn't get it does he. "Tristen I told you. Wherever we go he will always find me. No matter how safe we think we are he will always be there. There is no safe place for me anymore." I sighed.

"But we can always try. I need to keep you safe. And I will not stop until you are safe." he sighed too.

"I will not let what happened to you yesterday happen again. I can not watch you scarifice your own life for me. I can't do it!" I started to cry.

"I will do anything for you. I love you and nothing will happen to you. I will stay by your side no matter what." he said whipping away the tears from my eyes.

"I love you too." I kissed him and he got out of bed. "I will be back up to get you in a little bit." he said and kissed my forehead and walked out.

I looked out the window to see all the snow falling. It was so beautiful outside and I loved it. Peaceful was the perfect word to describe it. I got out of bed to go look out the window. "So beautiful." I said to myself. I continued to stare until I saw something move in the bushes. I looked closely and saw Jake. He pointed to his phone and then pointed at me. I figured he texted me something. I looked down at my phone and noticed there was a text from him and I read:

Hey baby. I miss you so much. But what you said hurt me and I will make you regret it. And your little boyfriend won't stay for much longer. He better stay away from you or he was pay the price.
-Tristen

I looked up from my phone and out the window. He wasn't there anymore. He disappeared into thin air.
