Chapter 15

The song is A Grave Mistake by Ice Nine Kills!

(Hopes POV)

    All the guys except Brian came and partied on the yacht. When Craig and Delirious came onboard I was scared that they got shot because of all the blood splatters all over their clothes,

     "It isn't our blood Hope," Delirious said while laughing to himself and going inside the yacht.

     "We taught them a fucking lesson. I don't think they'll be bothering us for a while." Craig says giving me a smile and also going into the yacht to change.

     We drank, laughed with one another, and went night swimming in the ocean. These guys were starting to grow on me, and I started to feel a little happy about what happened back at the club. Just a little.

     "We should do a photoshoot with Hope and the helicopter. I know a few people who would pay to see that." Evan said in his very drunken state earning a very hard glare from a not so drunk Craig.

     We stayed up late and around two in the morning I called it quits and went inside the yacht to go to bed. I found some flannel pajama pants, they were guys but at this point I did not care, and a baggy black shirt, probably Evans. I picked one of the smaller rooms and closed the door, turning off the light and going to the bed. Evan, Craig, Nogla, and Moo all decided to spend the night on the yacht so I knew I was protected.

     I woke up after hearing a noise. I open my eyes and sit up in bed, my eyes trying to adjust to the darkness. I look around the room not seeing anything out of the ordinary. I laid back down too tired to go investigate what it was. I close my eyes to go back to sleep, and once I started getting there, a hand clamped around my mouth as something was stabbed into my neck. I punch to person with their hand around me and take out whatever stabbed my neck, a small syringe. In the dark, I saw the person stumble back and hit the wall hard. I quickly grab the lamp on the table next to me and slam it down on the person. They fall to the ground as another person grabs me from behind and slams me back onto the bed.

     "EVAN!" I scream out as loud as I could. Another stab into my neck as my arms were held down and a hand over my mouth. I try biting the hand but the person was wearing very thick gloves and probably didn't feel anything.

     'Keep fighting and when you can't anymore fight even harder' another advice from Autumn That I took to heart. I  kept struggling to get out of this person's grasp. I used all the strength that I had and brought my legs up and over my head and kicked the dude in the head. He let go of me and I got up out of the bed and ran to the door.

     "SOMEONE HELP!" I scream out again. I got the door opened but was tackled back into the room. Once again another stab in the neck. I kicked and punched at the person but my punches and kicks got weaker by the second and I felt myself starting to get tired really fast but I still kept fighting.

     "You won't be a bother to us for much longer." Was the last thing that I heard before I fell asleep.

     "We are NOT going gun shopping. This is supposed to be our vacation and I want a few weeks without having to watch our backs for once." Brian tells me as he wraps an arm around me before kissing me on the top of my head. I look at him as he looks at me. His face back to the way it was before the explosion.

     "Well if we get killed I'm blaming you in hell just letting you know," I say as I wink at him. I watch as couples and families walk up and down the beach. I smile as I lay my head on him.

     "I can't wait until we get married." He says, making a smile come to my face.

     "Do you want a family as well?" I ask him. He starts to smile as he nods his head.

     "We'll be a badass family let me tell you." He says. I start to laugh as I nuzzle into his neck. 

    I close my eyes and take in the moment. I open them again and Brian and I were back in the hotel room. We sat on the edge of the bed with me in his lap. His shirt and my shirt thrown onto the floor. He kept looking at me, his eyes never leaving mine.

     "I'm going to marry you one day just watch." He said softly as he kissed my neck. I close my eyes again.

     "Did you like it... our first kiss? The one back at the apartment?" I turn and look back at Craig. I was back at the Vinewood sign with him, our usual spot, me still sitting in his lap. 

     "I didn't want it to stop. I hate myself for walking away. I wanted to keep kissing you, but I didn't" His grip around my waist tightens a little, like he never wants to let go. I look back at the city, the sun setting behind it.

     "I love you Hope. You don't know how much I love you. I'm so happy that we're together finally." He says. I look back at him as he stares at me. He softly kisses me on the forehead before sitting his head on top of mine. I smile as I lay my head on his chest and close my eyes.

      I go to the ledge of the building and look at the city below us. I run to the other side of the building and see Mount Chiliad in the distance. I was awestruck. Evan chuckles behind me as he wraps his arms around my waist.

     "You're scaring me with all your running around up here. I think I'll hold onto you and never let go of you." He says while planting tiny kisses all over me, me laughing.

     "It's just you can see everything up here! It's the view is so beautiful." I tell him.

     "I have an amazing view right in front of me that beats this one you're looking at." He tells me while hugging me from behind. I turn around and wrap my arms around him.

     "You're the best boyfriend any girl could ask for Evan," I say into his chest. I close my eyes again and Evan's body slowly went away.

     I cross my arms as I look at a sleeping Brian and some girl that I didn't even know, both of them naked. I held my tears all the way until I got out of the house and once I was out, I just let it all out. Two years gone, that I'll never get back. I close my eyes and just start crying. Everything once again going to black.

     "WHY DO YOU NEVER TALK TO ME ANYMORE CRAIG! YOU DON'T KISS ME OR EVEN HOLD ME ANYMORE WHAT IS YOUR DEAL!" I yell at him. He turns around and looks at me.

     "Do you want to know why? I FELL OUT OF LOVE WITH YOU! Is that what you wanted to hear?! I don't love you anymore!" He screams at me. I stop and just felt everything break inside of me. Tears were already falling down my face as I shook my head in disbelief.

     "Yes. I don't love you anymore. Please, just go, I really don't want to see you anymore." He turns and goes up the stairs to our bedroom. I fell down to my knees and tightly closed my eyes as tears fell down. The darkness gets extremely dark now.

     I looked into his eyes as he held me up against the wall, his hand around my throat. Everyone warned me it will get to this but I never listened to them. I loved him too much. I struggled to breathe, as his grip tightens around me.

     "You know I love you? Don't you?" Evan says looking up at me with puppy dog eyes.

     "You know I will never do anything to hurt you." I could hear some sort of music as my vision blurred. I'm going to blackout. He opened up his hand as I fell to the ground. I was coughing and gasping for air to return to my lungs. He knelt down next to me.

     "Those bruises look so good on you my love. I think maybe later we'll put more on you." Evan says as he gets up and walks out of his office. My head hit the ground as tears fall down my face. I closed my eyes and began to cry. The darkness finally surrounded me, ending whatever I just went through.

     I slowly open my eyes and see I'm in a disgustingly dirty concrete room, my head resting on the wall. I felt wet tears on my cheeks but I was too weak to even lift my hand up to wipe them away. So I continued to silently cry to myself.
