&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

~ Sally's POV ~

I was walking around about a block from where I lived, just thinking. Mike hadn't called me yet but I couldn't figure out why, which really frustrated me. I loved him with all my heart, which I didn't know could happen until I started falling for Mike.

Ugh, stupid feelings.

I sighed as I sat down on a cirb near a house that hadn't had anyone live there in several years. It was a really creepy, two story, torn down, beat up house and stupid teenagers would dare their friends to go into it for an entire night. I know, I'm still techincally a teen, but who cares? I still thought most teens were stupid.

I groaned as I unlocked my phone and checked my messages, no new ones. I felt like crying, which I don't do a lot, I'm tough, but I felt like crying. I missed Mike so much and to see that he didn't care enough to make things right with Paige then call me, well it crushed me.

I finally decided to just set my phone down and put my face in my hands, I then began to cry. I missed Mike, I never knew it was possible for me to miss someone as much as I missed Mike, but there I was, crying because I missed him.

I decided to wipe the tears off my cheeks and get up because I began to get a bad feeling and I knew I needed to get back home soon so I could tal to Vic and ask him if Mike had talked to Paige.

I grabbed my phone and stood up before glancing around and spotting a car that was on a little bit away but it was close enough that I saw that someone was in it. When I began to move, the car started moving.

I panicked and did the first thing that came to my mind, I called Mike.

It rung once, twice, three times, then he hung up and I also started sobbing in relief.

"M-Mike I-I'm really s-scared right n-now.." I said as I started walking a bit, but I kept a close eye on the car.

"Sally?! What's wrong? Babe are you okay?" Mike asked, sounding incredibly worried.

"I-I'm being f-followed ag-again a-and th-this t-time I-I'm not driving a c-car, I-I'm w-walking..." I said, as tears began to fall down my face from fear.

"What? Don't hang up, I'm coming to get you!" Mike said as I heard the car get a bit closer.

"Hurry, please!" I said as I choked on tears. "I have n-never been th-this scared b-before."

~ Mike's POV ~

I grabbed the keys to my dad's truck and bolted out the door. Sally didn't need to deal with that, she was too young, too perfect, too, well, mine. I would not let anyone get away with hurting her, no matter how mad I was at her. She was my everything, which was a first for me.

"I'm going as fast as I can babe," I said as I started the truck and began to drive.

"Mike! The car is really close and I'm freaking out!" I heard Sally say through tears. I had never seen Sally cry, and I knew that she hated crying, so I knew I needed to get to her, fast.

"I'm coming, just calm down, and run to the closest safe place you can think of, anywhere at all." I said as I started to speed up, not wanted Sally to get hurt.
