"Where is she Rose." Nate says with anger.

"Well hello to you too." Rose says with a cheerful tone.

"Jackson how have you been?" Rose tries to keep a conversation going so I can get up. But I was kinda stuck. Tony decided he was going to fall asleep on my back. I didn't bother trying to run so I slid across the floor. Tony finally got off of me and started barking really loud. I didn't know what to do. I picked up one of his chew toys and threw it into the other room. As he ran after that I ran to the back bed room and closed the door a little to loud.

"Who else is here Rose??" I hear Nate.

"No one. Anyone want coffee or tea?" She tries to change the subject. I backed up and like the smart person I am, turned me bad shoulder at the wrong time and hit it on the dresser. One of the glass cups fell. I slide down so now I'm on the floor.I bit my lip trying as hard as possible not to scream. I felt a metallic taste in my mouth.

"Nate stop!!" Rose yelled.

The next thing I know Nate bursts through the door.

"Riley we are leaving right now I can't believe you."

I don't get up. He yells at me, he will NOT go unpunished. I get up and walk to Rose. I stood next to her. I cross my arms and stay silent.

" Riley let's go" Jackson stated in a whisper.

" I'm staying the night here" I lean against Rose. She is taller then me and that makes me feel safe.

"No you aren't. Now let's go. Blake came home and you don't even want to see him?" Nate states.

"Love ya Rose"

"Bye sweetheart" Rose smiles he award winning smile. They all walk out the door. I run to to the door.

"By the way, 'Hoodie' called"

"RILEY WHY DIDNT YOU. YOU. UGH!!" She ran to the back room. I giggled and ran to the car.

A few minuets passed by. We all sat in silence. I was so happy to know Blake was safe. I imagined giving him the biggest hug when I got home. We stopped at a red light.

"Wait, how do you guys know he's home?" I curiously asked.

"He called us and said he was home and safe." Jackson was staring out the window as he talked. Nate was jamming out to his song on the radio. I was laying down in the backseat laughing at Nate's little dance. The light turned green. Jackson tried to change the radio station only to get his hand slapped away.

"Dude this song sucks." Jackson moaned.

"To bad now shut up."

"But Naaaaaaaa-"

" Listen, Driver picks the music and shotgun shuts his cakehole." Nate said happily turning up the radio.

"You didn't just say what I think you said." I sat up.

"Yes I did" Nate says with a smirk.

"You finally watched Supernatural!! Oh my god my fangirl emotions!" I say dramatically holding my hands over my heart. Everyone started laughing.

10 minuets later---

We pulled up to the driveway. I jumped out of the car and raced to the front door. The boys must have come home before they found me because it was fixed. I bolted in.

"Blake" My voice rang through the house. The boys came in and shut the door.

"Blake were home where are you?"I'm starting to get really curious. Where is he?

"Nate, Jackson where's my brother" I cross my arms getting scared.

"Ri I'm sorry we had to get you back here it's not safe for you out there." Nate says locking the front door.

"Where. Is . My . Brother." I'm beyond angry right now. Nate just looks at the ground.

"You lying son of a bitch." I run to the back door only to be meted by Jackson's arms around my waist. I try to move as much as I can to get free but Jackson was really strong. Damn it why did him an Blake start going to the gym.

" Let go of me." I grit my teeth. Nate locks the door and nods to Jackson. As soon as I'm free I walk VERY angrily upstairs. Nate isn't far behind saying my name.

"Ri, what are you doing?" He asked but I ignore him.

"Riley stop!" He grabs my arm and turns me around. I hiss at the pain from the shot.

"Get out of my house before I call the cops on you" I get my arm free from his grip. He still is following right behind me as I get to my room. I slam the door and lock it.

"Riley open this door right now" Nate now has a hint of anger in his voice.

"Screw off." I yell sitting on the edge my bed staring at the door.

"RILEY OPEN THIS GOD DAMN DOOR." I get really scared. I have never heard Nate scream at me like this before but I'm not breaking. That bastard lied to me. After a while I don't hear him anymore. I get up and go sit at my desk. Tears are now coming out of my eyes. How could Nate lie to me. Yeah he was trying to protect me but still. My thoughts were cut short to the sound on my lock being unlocked and my door being opened. I quickly stand up and face him.

"Riley please just l-"

"Get out of my room now."

"No you have to listen to me Riley-"

" I SAID GET OUT!" I raised my voice. The tears were still there and there were more.

" Look, I shouldn't have lied to you and I'm so so sorry just please." He moved closer to me as I backed up. My back hit the wall.

"Riley you need to let me explain."

"I DONT WANT TO HEAR YOU EXPLAIN!!!" I move of the wall closer to him." YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT MY BR-" I'm cut short by Nate slamming me up against a wall

" IM DOING THIS TO PROTECT YOU RILEY WHY THE HELL CANT YOU UNDERSTAND." Fear has now consumed me. I think of everything that happened before my father left. The beatings when he was drunk. The bottles being thrown at us. Being yelled at. I cut my thought off. Nate walked around the room in pure anger. He grabbed my empty bottle of Snapple in his hands and held it for a moment. I thought he wouldn't do anything stupid but, I guess I was wrong. VERY wrong. He turned around and threw the bottle only a few centimeters away from my head.

"NATHAN!" I scream as the glass shattered against the wall next to me. I see all the pain and regret in his eyes.

"Riley I didn't. I'm so-" before he could finish I ran downstairs to Jackson.

"Ri what happened I heard-"

I cut him off and hug him as I'm crying all I can think about is 4 things

1- How could Nate lie to me to get me home because I am none of his concern.

2- I should never have believed them.

3- I need to find Blake. NOW

And finally 4- Who the hell was that guy who shot me, and how did he find me?
