Go to War- Nothing More
Dallas' POV

     "I'm done!" She shouts as a feeling in my chest makes me wince. It felt like my heart just broke, no shattered apart. "I'm done." She repeats walking away from me, and for some reason, I couldn't go after her. My legs wouldn't move, my lips wouldn't speak. It was like I was stuck in place, frozen in time. I look down pulling the black box out of my pocket and opening it up seeing the sparkling ring inside. I guess I'll never know her answer. Tears sting my eyes as I stare down at it, not knowing what to do anymore. Overtime I thought of her, everything fit together, but she said she's done now.

     I knew reading that file would have been a mistake. Knowing her past just ruined our future. My future. I can't think straight with out her. I have to try and explain, but I did try, She didn't listen. She was angry. She was hurt from the car crash. She was holding her stomach and the look in her eyes, she didn't have hope anymore. She was really, truly done. "Hey," Rocco says coming up on my side and giving my shoulder a squeeze. "Give her some time. She'll come around, alright?" I wanted to believe him, but I knew it wasn't true. She was beyond mad and she'd never forgive me for betraying her like that.

     "No, she won't." I say softly as I hear more footsteps coming and I close the box, putting it in my pocket as I turn around and face Blake. "Are you happy now?" I ask and she shakes her head stepping closer.

     "Dallas, you know I would never wish for any of that to happen." She says and I nod, but look away angrily. I was angry too. Angry at her. At myself. At Rocco for not stopping me. I shake my head and wipe my face.

     "I'll be in my room. Don't bother me. Any of you." I say shaking my head and going to the stair case as I hear the elevator move up. I shake my head and walk up the stairs up to my floor taking my time, walking slowly as I thought of everything we've been through together. Just like that it's all broken, gone. I take a deep breath as I get to my floor and leave the staircase before going to my room and going inside. I look around kind of hoping she was here so I could apologize, talk to her, not let her leave. But my apartment was empty, and my bedroom door was open. I thought I closed it when I left.

     I go to it pushing it open seeing no one inside and I step further in when I spot a piece of paper and a pen sitting on top of it. My eyes narrow as I go to it picking up the note and reading it. It was Ryder's handwriting.

'They say love is never ending, Although I am still pending, Cause people they all lie, To try and get us to cry. We fight and we fight, For our sight and our right, But what's the point of it all? If In the end we all do fall. Just know I love you and I always will, But there's a hole in my heart I need to fill, So I will love you with all my heart, Until death do us apart

I'm going after them and I won't be coming back.'

     Shit. I throw the note down and run out of the apartment and down the stares going back to Blake's floor seeing Rocco and her still talking. They both look to me as I look to them with fear. "She's going after them." I say and I shake my head. "Blake, she said she's not coming back." She tenses and then starts walking.

     "Alright, let's talk to Leon and Alex. They were with her, so if she knows where to go, then so do they." She says and I nod as Rocco and I follow her lead, walking behind her.

     "She's going to be fine." Rocco says but I shake my head as my hands begin shaking, trembling with fear.

     "We don't know that." I respond shaking my head as we walk down the stairs before getting to the lobby and walking out. Then I spot Archer and Eddie.
