New Year's Day

Chapter 23

Destiny's POV

"That will be fifty dollars," the lady at the counter said after I finished my manicure and pedicure. I nodded and pulled out the money and placed it on the counter. She handed me my receipt and I thanked her. I left her a tip before walking out of the nail salon. 

I decided to call Andy and tell him that I was done. I pulled out my phone and found his number. I clicked his name and waited for him to pick up. It rang three times before I heard his beautiful voice on the other line.

"Hello?" As soon as I was about to respond, someone grabbed my arms and yanked me backwards. I managed to scream for help before my phone was knocked out of my hands and a rag was placed over my nose and mouth. 

"Did you miss me, baby?" was all I heard before the darkness engulfed me.

Andy's POV

"Ashley, did you see where they went?" I yelled to Ashley who was now standing on the other side of the parking lot.

"No!' he yelled back in response. 

Who could have taken her? Then it hit me. I knew exactly who would have done something like this. The one person who hurt her before was back. 

"Ashley, get in the car now!" I yelled at him and we both took off towards my car. I unlocked the door and we both climbed in. I was gripping the wheel so tight that my knuckles were turning white. "Ashley, call the rest of the guys. Tell them to meet us at my house and to get there immediately." He just nodded and pulled out his phone quickly calling the guys. The thirty minute drive back to my house was cut in half as I sped down the road back home. It was a wonder that no police pulled me over.

I jumped out of the car and darted up to the front door. I cursed as I dropped my keys trying to unlock the door. I finally got it open and ran upstairs to change clothes. I then came back downstairs to find that the rest of the guys had shown up. At this point I was full on panicking and I knew that they could sense it.

"Andy, what's wrong?" Jinxx asked.

"He took her. He took her!!" I started getting really angry again. The rage was filling my veins and pure adrenaline was pumping through my veins.

"Who took her, Andy?" Jake asked.

"Her ex-boyfriend, Johnathan. I should've known better than to leave her alone. I should have known! There was an escaped convict recently, but it never occurred to me it would be him. God, I'm so stupid!" I yelled while kicking the table next to the couch causing it to fly across the room. 

Just then, my phone rang and I leaped for it. I saw that it was an unknown number but I picked it up anyways.

"Want your girlfriend back? Bring me five thousand dollars and come alone. Meet me at the bridge by second street. Bring someone with you and she goes over." The line went dead. I didn't tell the guys where I was going and stormed out of my house. They chased me down the driveway yelling my name, asking where I was going.

"You wanna know where I'm going?! I'm going to make sure that this a**hole has throw my girlfriend over the side of a bridge yet. So how about instead of standing there like statues you call the cops and have them wait around the corner. I will yell when they need to come because if someone comes with me, she goes over. Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to save my girlfriend,' and with that I took off. Not even bothering to take the car because traffic would be terrible and it was only about a ten minute run. 

I ignored the burning in my lungs as I kept running through the streets of Los Angeles to second street. I saw two figures standing alone on the bridge and took off running faster. Destiny was screaming and every time she would he would slap her. I ran up to him and was about to punch him when he turned around and grabbed my fist.

"Do you really think that is a good idea, lover boy? The way I see it, you do one thing wrong and I throw the both of you over. I am not going back to prison and it was because of this b**** that I went in the first place, so I strongly suggest that you back up, hand me my money, and let me leave peacefully." I lowered my fist, rage still pumping through my veins and pulled out my wallet. I wrote a check for five thousand dollars and handed it to him. As soon as the check was out of my hand, I swung my arm and hit him scare in the jaw. He collapsed on the ground and I yelled as loud as I could. Just then, I saw the cops pulls out from behind the nearest building and speed towards us. Soon Johnathan was in handcuffs and was being dragged towards a car.

"You set me up! You will pay for this Biersack! Your little girlfriend will too! This isn't over!" I ran over to Destiny and unwrapped her arms and legs. I had the cops cut the chains off of her feet and she collapsed into my arms. We watched as Johnathan was taken off in a cop car. My hands were still shaking from the incident and I looked down to see that Destiny was crying and holding onto me as if her life depended on it.

"Never again," I whispered and wiped away her tears, "Never again."
