Becca's POV It's April now, nothing has changed... except for the one thing. The letters from Jack, they have really changed my opinions of people back home... Jack's POV It's mid March, and I found about what Alec did to Becca... He kissed my girlfriend. While his was was being forced to work or something like that... He claims he loves Becca. Oh, but no, if he loved her he wouldn't have cheated so many times. Lucy told me the week after it happened. I watched him try to kiss her yesterday, she slapped him just like every time. He doesn't deserve Rebecca. I'm not so sure I do either, but I know I love her. So, I'm involved in some criminal stuff... just selling marijuana and a few others, although I never use it. I was able to track down her address. So I sent her a letter.. Dear Becca, I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. I am so mad at myself. I will see you again someday, I promise you. I have to unfortunately inform you with some terrible news. Three days after you were... taken. Alec kissed Lucy, Lucy slapped him and refused him. Once a cheater always a cheater I guess. I wish I didn't have to tell you... but it's best you find out know rather than later. Lucy and I care about you. I.. love you Bec. I will see you again. -Love, Jack. .................................... Now I'm a "bad boy". I hate that cuddling sh*t, the sweet talk. With Becca it's different, she makes me happy. Although I've always been popular, I was never happy. That was until I met Becca. I knew I would have to make her mine someday. I still will. I broke up with Lucy yesterday, I said I wanted to be alone. She cried... but she will get over it. I need to see Becca again soon.. Becca's POV When I got Jack's first letter I was torn, gutted. Alec cheated on me when I thought he would never do it again. I guess Jack is right, once a cheater always a cheater. Jack has never done anything cruel to me at all... He told me he loves me. Does he mean as a friend, or maybe something more? I know he's not with Lucy anymore, but I don't know... All I know is I hate being Edgar's stupid slave girl. I should be working at my job at Vogue... I have nothing here. Suddenly Edgar just started talking. "You have been teaching my son to be kind to everyone!" He boomed, throwing a vase. He then slapped me across the face, hard, throwing me back into the wall. I curled up in a ball and looked up at him with a horrified look. He kicked my side and let out a roar. "I didn't have to help you b*tch!" He pulled me by my long hair and threw me down into the basement, and locked the door. I clutched my bleeding side and screamed. I was so tired of being treated right this. I told Jack I would see him again, and that's what I'm going to do. I grab and chair and break the tiny glass window, glass shatters everywhere. Edgar stands by the window I just broke and pulls me out. He then drags me to my room and beats me until I pass out. I wake up sobbing, I can't move I'm in so much pain. I try to stalk but instead fall and knock over the lamp. Edgar runs In with a few people in nurse uniforms. One nurse speaks. "Miss Alder please come with us." She asks. I back up in my wall as they run at me an Inject me with something. .......................................... I wake up in a padded cell... NO.

I look out the window and see nothing but an empty hallway. Alec's POV Yeah, I cheated on my girlfriend with her best friend. It's mid April and Lucy finally kissed me back. We just say we've been having fun for the past week. We are dating, I know it's going to destroy Becca. She's not coming back this time anyways, at least I don't think so. I can tell Jack is quite pissed, but who cares about him. Lucy seems happy, I'm happy. Becca is not here so it doesn't matter. I loved her... but the flame just burnt out. She's tough, but she's not the same girl I once fell madly in love with. I've seen the way Jack looks at her, they deserve each other. Like Lucy and I fit together perfectly. I will see you again. I remember saying that to her. I told her I will always love her, she will always be mine. Bullsh*t. Love is bullsh*t. .......................................... Lucy's POV I am so bad.. I kissed my best friends boyfriend. I'm freaking dating my best friends boyfriend. How could I do that to her... how? They didn't even really break up, well I know Jack told her. I don't know exactly how... I do know he loves her more than he ever loved me. It makes me mad... but everyone had their soulmates. Maybe they are meant to be... I just wish she would come back. Alec doesn't really care, something happened to him. I just know I'll be with him for awhile. Only a few more months before he and Jack graduate from high school. They are attending the same engineering school, they both got accepted. I still have one more year, my senior year. But soon I will have my own bakery to rub in Becca's face. .................................... Jack's POV Here I am, standing in her room in Paris. Everything's here except her. You see I needed to see her, so I left and came here. The door to her balcony was luckily unlocked. I walk into the kitchen and on the counter is flyers for a psycho ward. God damn, they told everyone she was crazy.
I take off in my car to the ward ten miles away. ............... I get in and burst through the door. "Sir you can't go through!" One woman exclaimed. I just go through until I see her through a window. I see she's looking through. I put my hand on her soft cheek and whisper, "I told you I'd see you again angel."
