Liam pov

I paced the room wondering if I should call Rena and tell her about Nia, I had gotten a call from the police about a shooting. I sighed slightly not wanting to call Rena so I didn't worry her, but I also couldn't help but warn her.

I had gone to the location and watched as I saw nothing, all I had seen was a gun, I didn't see any bodies. But there was a phone there as well, while the officers weren't looking I bent down and took the evidence.

I wanted to make this good and knew one way or another I was alright, I couldn't control what others said and did. I wasn't afraid of being caught by the officers, I didn't know how they'd been able to know about a shooting if there weren't any bodies to prove it.

But then again though the gun was right there and someone had their phone out too, so there was some stuff to prove it. I walked away from the scene and made my way back to the house where I had to clean up all of the blood and mess left behind.

I didn't know how long it would take me to get back, but that didn't matter. I was going to tell Rena that Nia was missing and that we thought she'd killed her self.

"Re, I've got some bad news baby girl."

I bit my lip not wanting to have to break the news to her, I was afraid to tell her. I shivered as I thought about telling her, I didn't know how she'd be able to take this, and I wasn't able to hold her when I did tell her.

"What's up Liam, I miss you so much. I love you, will I see you soon."

I smiled sadly as she asked me this, I didn't know what to tell her. I would do whatever I could though for her, I wanted to be able to be there for her.

"You know what Rena, yeah. I'll see you soon baby girl, and we'll talk whenever I get to you. Just give me the address for my gps and I'll be there as soon as I possibly can."

I paused a second thinking things through, I didn't know how this would go, but I didn't mind. I felt as if this was better to tell her in person then to tell her over the phone.

"I love you baby girl, and I can't wait to see you again. I hope you're doing alright."

I hoped she'd let me come visit her, it felt like too long since I had seen my baby girl. I waited for her reply and wondered what would happen, I still needed to call Ana and tell her about Nia as well.

"I'm doing fine, thanks Li. I'll text you as soon as I can and as soon as we get off of the phone with eachother."

I got into my car and knew nothing would ever be the same again, we'd have to make a new life out of what we had. And whether that meant that I was with or without Rena I would have to figure it out.

"I'll see you soon baby girl, don't worry love. I'll keep in touch kitten."

I hung up the phone without really giving her a chance to reply to me, I thought things through and wondered how long it would take me to get to Rena.

I didn't even know where I had sent her, I just knew I had managed to get her somewhere to get her some help. I didn't want to hurt her, and I was afraid of breaking her even more then she'd already been broken.

I didn't trust anybody anymore, I couldn't even trust myself. I never could trust anyone, and people wondered why others had a problem with trusting others.

I groaned as I tried not to overthink things, I hated overthinking and being in overdrive. But sometimes you just couldn't help it, I plugged in the address Rena texted me and made my way there.

I didn't know how long to expect to be on the drive, but I didn't mind, I felt as if I was on the run. In a way I was though because I had taken evidence from the crime scene.

I didn't want to have to always run from my problems, but sometimes it was what I had to do for myself. I kept in touch with Rena and made the 24 hour trip, I was still young enough where I could go the whole time on adrenaline and coffee.

I didn't want to have to be away from my girlfriend for too long, I just hoped she was alright. I cared too much about her and I would do anything I could to help her get through our boyfriends death.

"I'm coming Rena bean, I'll see you soon baby girl."

I mumbled to myself wondering what would happen, I pulled up to the facility Rena was at and smiled shyly. I parked and made sure I brought everything in, I wanted to surprise Rena and bought her some little odds and ends.

The cheesy stuff you'd see in a movie, I laughed to myself as I opened the door to the facility and looked around. I smiled once more as I saw the sign in sheet and knew I would be seeing my baby girl sooner then later.

I pulled a hand through my hair and signed in, it was a little creepy with the woman in a nurses suit, but that didn't stop me from signing in. I asked for Rena's room number and made my way to her room, I looked forward to seeing my girlfriend.

She was my life, she was what kept me sane in the end. I was afraid of messing this up though, I didn't know what my problem was. I knocked on Rena's door once I got there and smiled as I watched her looking out the window.

"Liam, it's so good to see you. I missed you so much love."

I was content with the welcome I had received from my girlfriend, I walked into her room and pulled her in for an embrace.

"It's so good to see you too baby girl, but it's time we talk now love."

I sat down on her bed and sighed sadly and pulled a hand through my hair, I didn't know how to tell her. I pulled out the phone and the gun I had brought along with me and all of my luggage as well.

"What's wrong Liam, is everything alright."

I turned the gun in my hand and showed her the phone as well, I knew this was going to be hard for her. But it needed to be said, I had to tell her.

"No, everything isn't alright. I got a call lastnight about a gunshot, they think Nia killed herself. And Casey as well as Astra, but there's no body for proof, all they found was this gun and phone, and I took it with me."

I paused long enough to let it sink in for her.
