Adam's POV

I sprinted down an alleyway trying to find a place to hide. Austin is crazy! I don't know why I gave up Michelle in the first place. Oh yes I do. He wants to kill me! Austin is a family friend of mine and it just so happened that fifteen years ago we fell in love with the same lady. I wonder who she really loves. No don't think that now Adam! You're running for your life and all you can think about is who Miranda loved? Get ahold of yourself! I thought.

I was brought back to reality when I heard a gunshot go off behind me. Up in front of me, I saw a chain linked fence about ten feet tall. To my left and right were brick buildings. Another gunshot went off and I heard it whoosh past my ear. Adrenaline ran through me. I yelled as the fence came nearer. I leapt to the left and did a backflip over the fence. I landed on the other side unharmed. I stood there in awe of what I just did. That was sick! Then I took off running again when Austin did the same thing. Oh man, I thought.

My heart pounded in my chest as I took a sharp right into another alleyway. This one was a dead end. I pressed against the cold hard brick wall as I heard Austin yelling. I felt scared and helpless. He saw me and skidded to a halt. Then he rushed to me. He reached me in the matter of minuets and the gun was pressed against my already bleeding forehead. My eyes closed and I felt Austin's hot breath on me. He cocked the gun and I sucked in a breath.

"Any last words before I kill you, A. Young?" Austin spat.

Suddenly, I didn't feel scared or helpless. My eyes flew opened and I gripped Austin's hand that had the gun in it.

"Yeah," I said. Then in one swift move, I grasped his arm with both of my hands. I ducked under and slammed him into the brick wall. There was a loud crack noise. He slumped backwards. I made sure at he wasn't dead. He wasn't. I swiped his gun from him and put it on my belt," never call me A. Young. My full name is Adam Randal Young and I just kicked your butt."

I then spun around and saw a black car blocking the alleyway. I rolled my eyes and then it started coming towards me fast. I screamed and pressed against the right side of the wall. The car smashed through the bricks and I checked underneath it incase they ran over Austin. They didn't. Then, I took off running.

I ran all the way to the airport. Before I went in I chucked the gun into the overgrown bushes and went in. As I walked and tried to blend in, people looked at me. One lady who had a young kid ran away screaming. How bad do I look? I thought as I went to the bathroom. I looked at the mirror. I screamed. My face was dirty and I had a deep and nasty cut on my forehead. My arms were bloody and scratched up. Austin had cut me on my forehead. After twenty minuets of trying to clean up, I went out and headed towards the desk where you get tickets. I asked for the ticket and the lady kept staring at me like I was a criminal. Then I explained that I was chased by a guy in an alleyway. When I told her that, she handed me my ticket as fast as she could and then ushered me to the gate. I guess she didn't like me too much.

Security was fast and I boarded the plane in less than a minuet. As I sat on the plane, I thought about where I was going. No I'm not going to Minnesota. I'm going to California. There's someone there that I need to talk too. The plane took off and I stared out the window. The image of what happened in the airport made my heart heavy.

Flashback

I ran towards Michelle. When I reached her. Her eyes were closed as if she was waiting for another gun shot to go off. I then punched Austin in the face. His hand went off of her mouth and she spun around and saw us fighting. I looked at her with fear and sadness in my eyes.

"Michelle, go with your mother. I'll catch up with you soon," I ordered.

"What if I don't want to?" She protested

"I said go now! Please! I don't want either of you getting hurt!"

End of flashback

Tears formed in my eyes as I heard her screaming echo in my ears. She must be heart broken by now. I should never have came back. No, I should not have set up the concert. I rigged it so I would be able to see Michelle. And seeing her for the first time since she was a baby made me want to burst into tears. It was really hard not to tell her that I was her father. Also when she asked me how I knew her name, I was glad that I had Breanne and Jasper with me. If I didn't I probably would have told her everything all at once and she would hate me. I blinked and tears rolled down my face. A heavy, shaky sigh came out of my mouth as I came back to reality. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I brought it out and looked at the text. It was from Austin.

From:Austin To:Adam

Hello my dear friend. Don't look in front of you. I know you are going to California. So after how many years now you finally have the courage to visit AnnMarie? Wow Adam. You were always the coward I knew back when we were kids. This time, when I see you, I'll make sure you are dead. And no one can save you. Oh and Michelle chose me as her father. She picked when she was kidnapped. How does that make you fell now?

I looked up and saw the back of Austin's head. Anger swelled up inside me. Then my eyes closed and more tears flowed down.

"I'm sorry Michelle and Miranda. It looks like I won't be coming home for a while," I whispered as I replied to the text.

I looked up and Austin and I made eye contact. Austin smiled evilly. I sank down in my chair and prayed the rest of the flight.
