I didn't change my clothes or fix my hair I bolted out the door keys in my hand. I sped to the police station anxiety taking over my body.

"california williams." I said as I reached the front desk. "okay we'll have someone be right with you." she said and my patience level went through the roof.

"no now, i'm not waiting for him to be killed I want to speak to someone now!" I shouted slamming my hand on the counter.

"california? come with me please." a kind women's voice said from the doorway to the right of me. I quickly ran over to her and she extended her arm telling me to sit.

"okay could you unlock your phone please?" the woman asked. with shaky hands I pulled my phone from my back pocket and handed it to her.

"okay so the call was at 11:34 pm, and it is now 12:15. the process of tracking the call will take around 15-20 minutes." she said and I rolled my eyes.

"this is fucking bullshit, what if he's being tortured or something? i can't wait 20 minutes." I said standing up abruptly.

"I know you're stressed out miss, but this doesn't just happen quickly." she explained. I sat back down and fumbled around with my fingers.

"I will go get the proper equipment for this. I will be right back." she said getting up leaving me alone in the room.

I hear my ringtone go off and I quickly grabbed my phone.

message from unknown

unknown: meet me where it all started

unknown sent you location

don't you dare touch him.

don't tell me what to do

I grabbed my keys from the table and left my phone there open with the location and ran to my car.

I sped off knowing exactly where she wanted me to go. I went through red lights, stop signs, going 80 on the main roads.

I slammed on my breaks and jumped out of the car as I arrived where it all started. school.

I ran up to the front doors unable to get them open. I found a rock in the flower bed next to me and picked it up throwing it through the window.

"tayler!" I screamed out cutting myself as I climbed through the window. "tayler!" I screamed out again.

"oh hi cali, nice to see you." I hear an obnoxious voice say from the stairs to the right of me. "can't say the same about you." I snapped and she held her hands up in defense.

"I will admit, I haven't been...the best person but I'm here to change that." she said stepping closer to me. "come come." she said holding her hand out.

I stared at her and her eyes turned dark. "NOW!" she yelled. I grabbed her hand as she led me downstairs into the basement.

"now I know it's not the exact school we first met each other at, but I had to work with what I had." she said giving me a big smile.

"hey tayler, look who I have here?" she announced as she walked through the door. I saw tayler tied to a chair, sitting up to a table, and his mouth taped shut

tears fell down my cheeks and he screamed and struggled to get out. maggie went and sat down next to tayler and ran a hand through his hair.

he flinched and she gave him a devious smile. "hey new girl, come sit." she said waving me over.

"sit." maggie said demandingly. I sat down across from tayler at the table.

"hands please." she said holding the rope out in front of me. I voluntarily gave her my hands tears streaming down my face.

I hear tayler yelling and struggling through the tape and I just looked at him. "it'll be okay." I said comforting and he just gave me a sad look.

maggie sat down. "now you say, hi i'm california. remember that day? the day you stole my man." she said.

"hi i'm california, I just moved here." I recited. "I'm maggie and this is tayler." maggie said linking arms with him.

"tayler, your turn." she said ripping the tape off his mouth. "where'd you move from?" he said rolling his eyes. "ohio." I said.

"why are we doing this?" I asked and she looked at me. "because, I want to rewrite history. now keep going. or things will end badly." she said pulling out a large knife.

"wow, ohio? I have a friend that lives there." tayler said looking at me with panicked eyes. "oh yeah what's his name?" I asked quietly.

"jeremy." he said and I nodded my head. "would you like to hangout sometime?" tayler asked and maggie slammed her hand on the table.

"see that's where I wanted to change things." she said standing up dragging the knife on the table. "instead of that, say hmmm. cali, I have a beautiful girlfriend her names maggie." she said leaning down to tayler.

"no." tayler said quietly. "what was that?" maggie asked eyes turning a shade darker. "I said no, you're fucking crazy." he yelled standing up.

"you fucking bitch!" maggie screamed facing me. "you fucking took him from me and you will pay." she said smirking at me.

"will I now?" I said smirking. "yeah keep up the attitude, you'll end up being killed." she said holding the knife up to my neck.

"have fun in another mental hospital." I said. "police! drop your weapon!" a buff man yelled from the doorway.

"have fun in your coffin." she smirked. she lifted up the knife and I closed my eyes preparing for what happened next.

bang

"cali." I hear a familiar voice say from next to me. my eyes opened and what laid before was unbearable to look at.

"maggie." I whispered as she laid on the ground, pale with a new hole between her eyes. I covered my hand with my mouth as I quickly backed away from what I saw sobbing.

"cali come here." tayler said from beside me. I feel two arms tightly wrap around my body and I tense unable to look away.

"cali, don't look." tayler said pulling my head into his chest. "she-" "don't talk." he said running his fingers through my hair.

"are you two okay?" I hear a strong voice ask. "yeah we're fine." tayler answered while I stayed with my head in his chest.

"ma'am I would authorize you not to do that again." I hear the strong voice say. I pull my head from tayler's chest and look at him. "you could've been seriously injured, even killed." he said and I just nodded.

"come on let's get you two to the station."
