Living with the Bad Boy

Chapter 10

I couldn't do this anymore. I needed Alec and I knew it. I needed to talk to him. I didn't know if he still loved me but I needed him to know why I did what I did.

So I left school early to meet Alec when he got home.

He walked in the door and gave me the same emotionless stare like always.

"Alec, can we talk?" I said nervously.

He didn't say anything. He just stood there and stared. It was breaking my heart seeing him like this.

"Alec, please."

"What?" He said sharply. "What could you possibly say to me that would make up what you put me through? I thought you loved me, Mya. But instead, you broke my heart."

"I-- I do love you, Alec"

"No you don't. If you did you wouldn't have broken up with me."

"Please can we just go upstairs and sit so I can explain."

"I don't know, Mya. I really don't know."

"Please, Alec. "

"Fine. Let's go up to my room"

We walked up to his room and I sat on his bed. He seemed much more calm than before.

"I want to ask you something." I said

"What?"

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course, Mya. You know you can trust me."

"I-- I think I'm ready to tell you about Liam." I said quietly. I knew Alec was dying to know about him. Alec's eyes softened.

"Mya, you know you don't have to--"

"No I want to."

"Okay"

I explained to him everything about Liam and how he forced me into things and I even told him about lying about being a virgin before I met Alec.

He was so angry by the time I was done.

"I am going to kill that a**hole."

"Alec, I told you that you need to leave it alone.

"How can I leave it alone, Mya?" He said angrily. "How can I let someone who did that to you get away with it? You deserve so much more than that."

"He's dangerous, Alec. And I would never forgive myself if he hurt you. Because it would be because of me. Me, Alec." I said. "And I love you too much to take that chance."

"Okay Mya. I won't do anything."

We went up and sat in his bed like old times. It was comforting to know that I had nothing to worry about and so I fell into a peaceful slumber with my head on the chest of the love of my life.
----------------------------------------------
But when I woke up, I was alone. Alone in his bed. It was oddly cold without his body up against mine. It was morning and it was nine o'clock. It was Friday so I decided to just skip school. I went downstairs to see if Alec was home. He wasn't and his car was gone. He must have gone to school.

At around lunch time, I realized how hungry I was and that I hadn't eaten breakfast. When I went to the kitchen there was a note on the table. It read:

Mya,

I hope you slept well. I won't be home for awhile so I hope you continue to sleep well without me there. I got you some groceries and I left some money in an envelope for emergencies. Please forgive me, Mya.

But I couldn't just let this go.

Love, Alec

No.

No.

No.

He had went to go see Liam. This could not be happening. I couldn't lose him. I just couldn't.

I needed him.

I called Alec too many times to count but he wouldn't pick up. I didn't know when he left. I was worried sick but I didn't know what to do. So I called Selena, Taylor, Tyler, and Jared over. They all agreed to leave school sick and somehow they all got away with it.

They came over as soon as they could. I explained to Jared and Tyler what had happened between Liam and I. Then, I told them how Alec had went to go see him.

"Wait, how exactly do you know he went to go see this Liam dude?" Jared asked.

"Because I finally told him about it and he said he would let it go. But then this morning I woke up alone and there was a note on the table saying he wouldn't be back for a while and he ended it with: I hope you'll forgive me because I can't let this go. Or something like that. He's really worrying me because Liam is very very dangerous. If he provokes him, Liam could quite possibly kill him. I don't know what to do."

I was basically crying by this point.

"Well we have to find him then" Tyler said. " have you tried calling him?"

"Only like a million times. But he won't answer. What if Liam has him?"

"It'll be okay, Mya. Let's go find him." Jared said.

I had made a mistake when I told him and now I was paying for it.
----------------------------------------------
We had searched for Alec but there was no sign of him. We called him a few more times but there was still no answer. I just wish that he would give us some sign that he was okay so my heart could beat again.

I was nothing without him. What he had said was true. We were nothing without each other which is why I wasn't going to lose Alec. I needed him right now and I needed him more than ever.

He didn't know what he was up against. He was nothing up against Liam because Liam basically has an army.

Alec isn't going to be able to win this battle alone. Not even with the rest of us which is why I want d him to leave this alone. I was finally getting over it when I met Alec. He helped me forget everything that happened with Liam but now it was all coming back.

The only place we hadn't checked was Liam's warehouse. We had hoped that Alec wouldn't be in there but it was the only place we hadn't looked. There was a small window about 10 feet up and it was the only window that was even close to being accessible.

So I climbed up onto Jared's shoulders and peeked into the window. The window was pretty dirty but I was able to make out a few bodies. I wiped off the window and my vision cleared.

But I was devastated when I saw who was in there, tied up to a chair.

It was Alec.
