Chapter 22: Gave Me Hope

WILLS POV

I have been getting weird letters and texts from a blocked number, just like Ari.

Mine too are signed Nc, the same person who sends hers. I wanted to keep her safe but he is after me too. My most recent text read;

From: Blocked Number
If you want to protect your 'precious girl' you will leave her alone and not speak to her, don't look at her, and don't communicate with her, or else she will die. So you choose, you can help her by not seeing her, or you can be selfish and see her, but she dies, making you practically kill another person

I was dying not being able to see Ari. I was miserable without her. She changed me. She gave me hope, and happiness. Her smile was contagious. If she smiled at me, I couldn't help but smile back at her.

I felt like I could trust her, to say anything to. More than Zack. I haven't even told Zack the full story about my past. But she knows about my dad and sister. And she was still there for me.

I could hear her pound on my door everyday, calling for me. Some days she sounded desperate and it made me die a little inside. She really needed me and I couldn't help her. I didn't want her killed. I would take any bullet for that girl. And hell I am sounding weak, but it's true.

All I wanted once was to see her, touch her, feel her in my arms. Just to hold her, keep her safe. But she would be safer without me in her life so I have to try and brush her out. The person who is sending the messages can see me everywhere, I don't even know how. He could even see my text messages.

I had so many missed calls and texts from Ari, but I couldn't reply. I had to restrain myself and it was so hard. I go into my big closet in my ensuite and head right down to the back. I go into my little door.

In my little door is a practice room for me. It has boxing bags and dummy's to punch and weights and everything I need. Mum gave me this room right after my dad got sent to jail. She said it could help me take my anger out and that's what made me get into fight club.

It was silent in my studio apart from the faint sound of music. I don't know what song it is but it sounds angry.

I walk around to where the sound is coming from and I walk along that wall, with my ear almost sliding along the wall listening for the music. The sound gets louder at my mirror. You may be wondering why I have a mirror but it is there so I can watch my stance and check I am swinging right. Anyways, the music sounds louder at the mirror. I don't know how it is louder though. I stand there and listen. I know it is Ari as she is always dancing in her room. It was an angry song and I know it is directed at me. I hit the mirror hard. It then bounces open. OH FUCK ITS A DOOR.

Cautiously I walk in, it goes down a long hallway and then into an open room. I see a giant window as one of the walls. On the other side of the window was a dance studio about the same size as my fight studio. I watch her dance. She was amazing. I wanted her to be mine. The way she danced made me want more. I was in awe, I want her to dance more emotions I want to see more. The music stops and she finishes her dance. I clap, she doesn't pay attention, she can't even see me. I then realised they were one sided windows, she had mirrors on her side. As much as I would love to speak to her, just seeing her was amazing and made my insides melt. I was becoming so soppy.

My phone vibrates as I get a text.

From: Blocked Number
Where are you. I know you aren't in your house and at fight club. You have popped off my radar. But you might want to go to school tomorrow. Something big will happen.

I then realized that he/she couldn't sense me when I was in my secret room. This gave me hope.

When I woke up I got ready for school and then left. I hadn't been to school for a while. I knew people would whisper about me. I see Ari, followed by Zack, Justin and Brooke. They all went into the same classroom. They had all moved into her classes to protect her. Oh how much I would love to move into her classes to protect her.

I was in my first class dozing off at how boring the teacher was. Until the fire alarm went off. We knew it wasn't a drill because the drills were all planned. Everyone was running out of the classrooms out onto the oval. I just kept looking for Ariella to make sure she was safe. I couldn't see her anywhere. I looked at every student that came out the doors. Zack, Justin and Brooke came out but Ariella wasn't with them.

THE TEXTER. He told me to be at school cause something will happen, he has been threatening to kill Ari. He has her. I frantically run around the school looking in every classroom for her.

There is one door I reach that doesn't have a window and that is locked. I knew she would be in here. I grab one of Ari's hair pins out of my pocket and pick at the lock. It unlocks and I slam the door open. She is held by two bulky guys, one holding each arm and then another two bulky guys stand across from her holding her brothers two arms. They both have cloths in their mouths, and tied around their heads. There is one more guy standing in from of Ari's brother holding a gun. They are all covered in all black. I stand at the door staring them all down. Ari was screaming she gives me a sad look in her eyes and it makes me feel so bad.

"So you did come to save the girl. What did I tell you. If you communicate with her she will die"

Ari's eyes go wide.

"But I want more fun so it will drag on" the guys says again.

Then he points his gun at Ari's brother and shoots him. The two men drop him and walk out. I couldn't watch this. I pull a gun out of my back if my pants and point it at him. My gun was slightly bigger than his. I then notice two people stand up behind me. I know them. It was Zack and Justin. I smirk as they both hold guns too. Ari started screaming again at the sight of her brother. She just witnessed her brother doe infront of her. I could never wish that upon anyone. The two boys go for the two bulky guys and I look towards the other guys who was standing in the window. He waves and then jumps out.

The two bulky guys let go of Ari and pull out small guns. I run towards Ariella and sweep her into my arms bridal style. I couldn't keep her at school. She wasn't safe there.

I put her on my motorbike in front of me. It was so fucking risky. But I would do anything for her. I raced home as fast as I could. The only safe place was my studio and I would show her that if that was what it takes to keep her safe.

When we arrive at home I jump of the bike and turn it off and pick her up bridal style. Ariella was crying and crying. The cloth was still in her mouth and I didn't have time to take it out yet. I race up the stairs and into my studio. I then place her on the ground and pull a knife out of my back pocket. I cut the cloth off her. She just cries in a fit of tears. Her makeup ran, her face and eyes were red and puffy.

I pulled her into my arms as I slid down the wall. She curled into a ball and just layed there crying and screaming. She was shaking. I pulled her really close and stroked her hair.

"Shhhhhhhh baby it's okay shhhhh. I'm here, I'll protect you" I soothed. She started to calm down and just lay there, crying softly into my shirt.
