I'd be dead with out you.

Chapter 25

I walked on for about two miles before I found a bus that would get me to LAX. When I got on there were three shady men at the back so I sat up front next to the driver. The window was clear and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I could see the stars faintly and it brought comfort to me. I could feel the presence of the men from the back creeping up on me and when I turned around I was practically surrounded.

"Hello Angel. How's Michael?" The tallest one of the group asked. I knew he was behind this.

"How the fuck would I know? Last I heard he landed his ass in jail for beating the shit out of me," I said rather rudely. The bus drivers eyes snapped up to the rearview mirror and I pleaded for help silently.

"Don't pretend you didn't like it! Don't act like you didn't deserve it," the tall guy spoke again. That's when the bus pulled over and the driver pulled out a gun, cocked.

"You boys are going to get the hell off my bus or I am going to blow every one of your heads off and you'll be lucky if I don't call the police," the bus driver said. He had a rifle in his hand and until now I had never been so relieved in my life. Well except for when Alan swooped in and saved me from Michael. I stayed frozen in my seat as one by one they slowly got of the bus.

"Don't think you're getting away Angel love, we have eyes everywhere," the tallest guy said. The bus driver removed the safety on his gun and the mystery men jumped off the bus. When they were gone the driver locked both doors and turned off the projector that told everyone where he was headed.

"Angel is it?" He asked. I nodded.

"My names Bryan. Is there anywhere I can take you sweetheart? The police maybe?" He asked me. I felt around in my pocket and sighed.

"No not the police. I left my credit card and keys at my friends back there. Can you take me to 183 northheart road?" I asked him. He smiled and nodded. I was relieved when he didn't press for information. He just kept up small talk. When we arrived at Aaron's apartment again Austin's car was gone but Aaron was waiting outside.

"Thanks Bryan you're a life saver," I said waving as I got off the bus.

"Angelica rose porter you get your ass in my apartment," Aaron said after hugging me to death.

"What's wrong?" I asked at the edge in his voice.

"I don't know a very frantic Alan showed up at my door and he basically had a nervous breakdown!" Aaron said as we were safely inside.

"Shit. Shit, shit, shit! Why did he do that? Is he gone now?" I asked worried about him.

"No I am here to talk," Alan said from behind me. My blood froze and I tensed . I don't know if I was expecting him to hit me or what but I was surprised when he wrapped me in a warm tight hug.

"Alan this can't happen, you have to let me go," I said breaking down finally.

"No Angel! I don't care what your name is until it's the same last name as mine! I don't care how dangerous this is. I can't live without you," he said letting go of me, I sighed and grabbed my card and Aaron's keys. He didn't object.

"One last kiss, before I go," I said my throat tight. He didn't move so I kissed his cheek and went out the door. I had the car started and running and at the last minute Alan ran in my path. I waited as Aaron constrained him and drug him inside before I sped off. My feelings for him will last forever but how do I suppress that? The bigger question is how much is he going to hate Aaron for helping me. I sped back to the hotel and ran to my room to grab my phone. I need to keep in contact with Evan and Aaron and I was gone as fast as I had arrived. This was the hardest part.
