Alex's POV

The next morning I woke up to Logan waiting for me with a waffle drenched in Nutella and I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Oh Alex I have a surprise for you"

He handed me a large envelope from America.

My dream university. Yale.

This is is, moment of truth.

Dear Alex Beth Jones,

You have been graciously accepted into Yale University.

We will see you at the induction on the 15th of April.

Yale university

"Oh my god Logan!"

"What!?"

"I got in!"

I jumped into his arms, I've never been so happy in my life.

"I'm going Logan, that's it I'm going to America! Bye bye London hello America!"

"Oh well done Alex, I'm so proud of you!"

"If I go then I have no chance of being found by those people!"

It's true. I won't be found by them.

Or my dad will never bother me again.

I'll be COMPLETELY free.

"That's IT Logan, its settled, I'm leaving for America next week!"

Then I turned to see Beck standing at me, his face wet with tears.

Before I could say anything he ran upstairs and I heard the door lock, he was acting like a little kid but I didn't care.

"Alex, I'm calling the police."

"Huh?"

"You need to tell them what happened"

I sucked in some air and said "okay"

So they came.

"Miss, can you tell us everything that happened please"

"They took me, his name was Mark White and he took me"

"Took you where exactly" The police man leaned forward and looked at me intimidatingly.

"To New Road 67 Street, red door, red curtains. I was kept in the cellar downstairs"

"How were you treated miss?"

"From the day I got there to the day I left, I hardly ate anything. I never showered the whole time and......"

"And what miss?"

"Mark.... he raped me..... constantly"

"We will get back to you" and with that they were gone.

I sat at the table. I was so worried. I hope they find these assholes. I hope this doesn't happen to any other girl again.

Logan pushed a cup of tea in front of me.

"Drink it, your ice cold"

I felt the warm tea trickle down my throat and then the warm tears down my face.

"Hey a- what's wrong?"

"I'm disgusting Logan, I feel like a slut"

"Don't say that, you're strong and you're gonna get through this"

He pushed his laptop in front of me.

"Here, lets book your ticket" I smiled graciously at him "by the way, all the boxes in your room are your stuff" is he being serious? I've been living in Maggie's clothes for the past days. I haven't seen her in ages.

"Logan, I wanna see Maggie. I miss her"

He took a deep breath and I started to panic. What's wrong with her, he said they are going out didn't he?

"See Alex, ever since you went missing, she kinda..... joined ......... Queen's gang.."

"Oh" I had no energy left to be angry. I had no energy left for anything.

"She's become so bitchy, honesty Alex, she's like a clone of Queen. I didn't want that. Queen, she's the reason that Beck cheated on you and I........ I just don't believe that Maggie's become like her"

"Oh Logan, I'm sorry" he ran his hand through his hair, frustrated. "What are you going to do about it?"

"I'm gonna break up with her, I can't have a girlfriend who bullies everyone." I just stared at him "you still wanna see her, don't you?" I nodded.

"Fine, let me book your ticket"

10 minutes later she knocked on the door

"Maggie"

"Alex" but when she said my name she didn't sound sincere she sounded bitter.

"What are you doing here, I though you were dead?" Sure enough she really was like Queen. She dyed her beautiful red hair blonde and she was no longer dressed in her favourite colour black, but head to toe in pink.

"Yeah, I came back from the dead" I said sarcastically.

"Yeah well, what am I doing here, more importantly what is she doing here?" She tilted her head to the side and looked at Logan.

"SHE, is my friend and I'm looking after her" she scoffed.

"You've changed Mags, who have you become?"

"I've changed, yeah I'm hot now and you're not"

"Yeah okay, whatever you say"

She turned to Logan again "babe, when are we going for that fancy dinner?"

"Yeah about that, I'm breaking up with you"

"What!?" Wow way to be subtle Logan. I laughed quietly, it was funny because when she got here she was so full of herself.

"You've become a bitch, your a replica of Queen, I don't really care what you have to say please leave"

I turned to Logan, he looked so defeated.

"Here, book your tickets now"

So I did, economy class, one way ticket to America, San Fran.

I was buzzing.
