After the Fall || A Diza fanfix

8.

In the last chapter, a ton of dirrrrtttyyyy stuff happens. Here's a clean-ish recap:

David has a dream (if u know what I mean...)Liza accidentally gets super high. Dom has no more brownies. David and Liza have a whole steamy makeout scene. It ends in "I love you." <3 Oh, my little fangirl heart.

This chapter will be won't be insanely dirty. Let's just say that the next few chapters might have an intense kiss warning. Some chapters will also have a violence warning. This one will definitely get INTENSE AND STRESSFUL, and a little violent. Heads up.

Liza's POV:

I wake up with the window wide open. The sheets are on the floor, and David is nowhere to be seen. I feel a sharp pang in my neck. My sight is blurred and I've got terrible double vision. Then it hits me - sedatives. 

"Toddy! David? Anyone!" I try to open my door, but it's locked form the outside. A little note falls from the knob. I read it aloud  

"Snitches are bitches, and bitches get stitches. We know you told d=David. Wait for it. " 

I bang against the door screaming. After a while, I give up. I slide my back down the door, defeated. I yell weakly once more. 

"Someone, please..." 

I hear frantic banging on the other side.

"Liza? David?"

"KRISTEN! Thank god! T- the door's locked from the outside! Someone s-sedated m-me and took D- David  the w-window is wide open!"

I hear her gasp through the door and run away, yelling for the guys. A few minutes later, I hear a banging noise. The door swings open. Angry looking Scott and Todd stand side by side, heavily breathing.  

"Who. Took. Him"

I break down into tears. I see their faces soften, and Todd wraps his arms around me. I let myself crumple to the floor, looking like a mess. All of a sudden, my phone rings. Unknown number. I pick up.

"Hel-"

"Turn on your computer. Do it if you ever want to see David again." 

I scream and hang up. They turn to look at me. Reluctantly, I walk back into the bedroom, my sobs subsided to hiccups. When I open my screen, a website is written on a post it. I go to the website, and a screen pops up.

On the screen is a fuzzy image.  David is on his knees, hands behind his back. There is a gun at his head.  

"SAY IT!"

A masked man kicks him straight in the face. I scream and the others gasp. He looks up, and the image is clear. His face is swollen and bloody, and he is shaking violently. He has no expression except that of immense pain.

"Go to the place... the place.. where it all started. If you don't..  finish in 24 hours... they'll kill... the ones you... the ones you love."

He slumps over, falling to the floor. My sobs have returned. A masked man walks right up to the screen.

"You can take three people. More, and we pick who dies. "

I turn around everyone is standing in the doorway.

"What are we waiting for?"

PART TWO - THE CHASE

I press hard on the gas, jolting us forward. We speed down the abandoned highway toward the park where I made my first transaction. I push the brake as hard as I can, sending me flying out of the already open car door. I get up immediately and run as fast as I can to the old, breaking slide. The others are close behind me. I see seven masked men standing in a line. They all start to laugh

"Three people total!! Ha!! Three people total!"

My heart stops. The men wander around my friends. They grab Scotty by the hair, throwing him in to the dirt. I hear his skull collide with the floor at the same time Kristen screams. Scotty tries to get back up, but they kick him in the head and ribs a few times. His nose is clearly broken. He grips his face, panic in his eyes.

"No! Please, no!"

The men hold Kristen back because she's trying to reach out to him.Toddy steps forward. He's  about to voulenteer himself. The masked men shove him and kick him, pushing him away. I stand in utter shock as one of the men put a gun to Scotts head. He yells out in pain, sadness in his eyes. A few tears roll down his cheeks.

"KRISTEN! I LOVE YOU! II love you so much and Liza I'm so sorry and Todd you are incredible and I love you all so much, I wish I could ju-"

BANG!

His mouth hangs open in shock for what seems like forever. The world is moving in slow motion - the bullet comes out of the other side of Scotty's head. His jaw drops, eyes rolling back into his head. He convulses, still halfway on his knees. Kristen screams as Scott drops to the floor, now clearly dead. Blood seeps out of his head. Kristen runs over to him, picking up his face.

"No, baby, no no nononononNOOOOOOOO! How could you do this?"

She sobs into his body as the masked men laugh. She screams his name until her throat is raw. Toddy tries to wrap his arm around her, but she shoves him away.

"SEVEN YEARS! Seven years, and he died. You motherfuckers are going to pay. TAKE OFF THAT DAMN MASK! Do it, you cowards, or shoot me! SHOOT ME RIGHT NOW! I... I can't live without him..." 

Her fists slam into the dirt, her knuckles cracking. She pounds at it for a good five minutes. She slumps over, out of energy. There's a wet spot on his shirt from where she's been sobbing. I feel my own face - it's soaked. I whip my head around at the masked dickheads.

"What? You said bring three. What do you want anyway?"

Todd has his arms around Kirsten's shaking body and she hugs him tight. They cry into each other. Scott's body had already been taken away, a trail of blood and weaving around the playground.

"Well, Taylor wants her cash, and for David to suffer."

 I feel the cold metal gently touch my temple. 

"Kiss someone. Make it real. Pretend it's David if you must. I'd say pick a man, but," He shrugs "There's only one left"

More tears fill my eyes. David will believe it. He won't know I'm acting. I move closer to Todd. He hugs me.

"You can do it. Get it over with and we only have to do it once, ok?"

I nod into him, then look up. Our lips touch, and I try my best to muster up a fake look of passion, and Todd does the same. They video us kissing and tell us to stop.

"Tell him you love him and tell him you need him. Talk about how you're surprised David hasn't found out."

I gasp, shaking my head. Kristen stares at us, wide eyed. The gun presses back against my head. I breathe in sharply and plaster on a fake smile.

"I- I love you, and I need you. How c-could David not know?"

The camera clicks off and I fall to the ground. Todd and Kristen hold tight to me, all three of us sobbing. The man comes on close, his foul breath leaking through the mask.

"Next stop, the white girl's dream where your dreams came true." 

The Chipotle were I signed my release forms.

We ditch the car and run.

Told ya'll itd be stressful. Don't worry - theres a happy ending... maybe...
