Okay guys, this chapter is kind of short but I guarentee you won't be complaining. It's really gut wrenching! Just wait! I will try to post as soon as posible! Maybe I will post faster if you comment you want more! :) Get ready to be shocked people..like I mean really shocked. :O

"Bethanie. Wake up sweetheart." I see my Dad hovering over me. I jump up and look around.

"Relax, you're fine. You just passed out." Harry was sitting next to me.

"Jessie has cancer?" I blurt out.

"Yes, calm down. They said it was treatable." My Dad strokes my hair.

"Well it better be! She's only five!" I lay back down.

"I thought she was four! Man, she's growing up." Harry says.

"Yeah but she's five! She's five years old and she has cancer!" I break down and cry.

"She'll be fine. Don't worry." Harry tries to calm me down.

"She is so little..I can't imagine life without her.." I look at the both of them.

"And you don't have to. She's going to get treated and she'll be fine." My dad says.

"Okay." I take a deep breath.

We stay there until about twelve o'clock just sitting there talking about Jessie.

"Beth, you really should go home." Dad says. "It's really late. I promise nothing will happen to Jess."

"Are you sure? We don't mind staying." I say.

"Harry's asleep." He laughs. I nod.

"Alright, well I guess I'm driving home." I smile and kiss him goodbye. "Harry? Babe, wake up." I wiggle his shoulder.

"I am awake..just two more minutes.." He mumbles and rolls over.

"Harry, come on. We have to go home." I smile and wiggle him again,

"What? Oh..okay." He rubs his eyes. "What time is it?"

"It's, like, midnight." I say, watching him stand up.

"Night, Mr. Carter." He says and walks over to me.

"Goodnight, son. And goodnight to you Bethanie." Dad gets up and walks over to Jessie's room.

"I'll drive." Harry says.

I shake my head. "Harry, you're about to fall asleep. I'll drive."

"No, you can rest. I've already had mine. Bethanie, I insist that I drive." He opens the driver's door.

I bite my lip. "Are you sure?"

He nods and gets in. I get in after him and fall asleep.

"Bethanie?" I feel him gently tug on my shoulder.

"Hmm..?" I mumble.

"We're home." He says.

"Okay." I unbuckle and get out of the car. Slowly we both walk inside. I walk up to my room and say goodnight to Harry. Suddenly it hits me. Jessie has cancer. She really has cancer at five years old. I flop down on my bed and put my face in my pillow. I needed to release the pain. I needed to let it all out. No. I couldn't. I just needed to get some fresh air. I'll just go far a short walk. I grab my jacket and my phone then I walk down the stairs silently. Slowly and carefully, I open the door and step outside. I turn down the alley that I always walked down. I had never walked down it at night but, it couldn't be very different. I walk a little faster and put my hands down in my pockets. It was freezing outside.

Crack. What was that? I shake my head. It was nothing. You're just scaring yourself. Crack. No. Something was definitely there. I glance behind me and see nothing but darkness. I cluch my phone and walk faster. I hear something ruffle behind me and I snap my head back. Again, darkness. Maybe it's time to turn back. I slowly start to turn around and feel a hand over my mouth.

"Don't scream, or I'll kill you right here." A man with a raspy voice says harshly. I mumble a little but I make no attempt to scream. "Walk." He says and I start to walk with him behind me. Luckily we were walking in the direction that the house was. If I could just get in front of him enough. He only had a knife, not a gun. I just needed to get a head start. I keep my mouth shut and I keep walking. He kept his pace with me and I kept getting more and more scared.

"What do you want with me?" I ask suddenly.

"Didn't I tell you to keep your mouth shut?" He snaps. I turn my head back and keep walking with him close behind. We were very close ot the house now, so if I was quick enough, I could get Harry to call the cops. But how was that going to work? It was a very flawed plan. But considering I could have only a few minutes to live, it was worth a shot.

Suddenly, the man pushed my shoulder roughly. "Hurry up." Came his horrible, raspy voice. That's when I couldn't take it anymore. I went hysterical.

"HARRY!" I schriek. "GOD, HARRY PLEASE HELP ME!" I was crying now. "HARRY!" I scream again.

"I thought I told you not to scream!" The man yelled and shoved me into a big, gray van. Just before the door closed I could see Harry running out of the house.

"Harry!" I scream, pounding my fists on the window.

"Bethanie!" He runs up to the van and pushes on the window, as if expecting it to break that easily. "Beth, don't worry. You're going to be fine, okay?" I could hear in his voice that he was trying to keep it calm. "Let her out! Now!" He screams at the man, who was now starting the van. I move towards the back window and pound my fists as hard as I can on it. It wasn't breaking anytime soon. The van suddenly began to move forward and I scream again.

No this can't be happening. This couldn't be happening. It wasn't happening.

But it was. I was really getting taken away from my friends and my boyfriend and my little sister and my dad and basically my life. I was getting taken away from my life. I saw Harry fading away from the distance and I could hear him screaming, "Help! Help! Somebody please! My girlfriend's getting taken away from me! HELP!! SOMEONE!! HELP!!" I couldn't stop crying, I wasn't ever going to see him again. I just knew I wasn't going to. Slowly, I slid to the cold floor and silently cried the whole way to my mystery destination.
