Melissa's POV
I look at Mark who is sitting across the table from me. We were eating homemade spaghetti and meatballs, and garlic bread, with a nice red wine. I look down at my plate toying with what is left of my dinner. My thoughts drifting back to earlier still echoing in my head. I could never put put all my friends and my mates in danger. I knew what I had to do. I bite back my tears and clear my throat.
"I need to use the restroom." I say.
"Of course sweetie, you know where its at." he replies.
I smile at him and walk upstairs. I walk into the bathroom and close the door. I turn on the sink I let the water get warm, putting my hands in the warm water splashing my face. I look in the mirror, I bite my lips as tears fall down my face. This is going to break my heart, but I knew it was the only way to keep everyone safe. I wash my face, using a hand towel to dry my face off. As I was putting my hair up there was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Sweetie, you ok?, you been in there for a good 30 minutes." he asks.
"Yeah, just not feeling to good, I think I'm going to lay down." I answer.
Mark opens the door and feels my head with his hand.
"You do look a little pale, maybe I should get Cole down here." he says.
"No, I mean its supposed to be just me and you, besides its just cramps probably going to start soon." I say thinking quick.
"Ok but if it gets worse in the morning I'm getting Cole to come here." he replies with a stern look.
"Ok I'm just going to change into my pajamas." I say with a weak smile.
"Ok, I have to check in with the guys, ill be in the office down the hall, call out if you need anything." he replies giving me a kiss on my forehead.
Mark walked out of the room closing the door behind him. I walk over to my bag and search for pjs. I come across black cloth shorts and grab a black tank top. I change into the clothes, and climbed into bed, taking my hair down I pulled the covers over me. I look around the room the moon was shining through the balcony doors.
A tear rolls down my cheek as I think of what I had to do. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I didn't realize that I fell asleep til I open my eyes and see that the moon was still high in the sky. I got out of bed and see that Mark wasnt there. My heart drops I look at the clock, it says its 1:00 am.
I yank open the door and run down the hall, and into the office. Mark was on the couch laptop on his chest snoring away. I let out a sigh of relief. I sink to floor, knees in my chest and rest my head on my knees, tears rolling down my face. I need to do this now I can't live in constant fear that one day he will come and he will get them one by one.
I get up and walk over to Mark, I look down at his sleeping form, he face relaxed and so peaceful. I look around the desk to find the keys to the ford. I can't find them. I sneak down the stairs and walk into the hallway I look by the door and find the keys. I run upstairs and grab my purse put on my tennis shoes, and zip up my black sweater.
I walk downstairs and out the front door. I open my purse and pull out my mini flashlight. I turn and on and follow the path towards the truck, the night was quiet and peaceful. The wind starts to pick up blowing my hair in my face. I push it behind my ear as I hear a twig snap behind me.
I turn around looking behind me, seeing nothing I turn back around. I bite my lip, maybe this wasn't such a good idea. My flashlight light hit the shiny metal of the truck I pick up my pace as I near the truck hitting the button to unlock the truck. Climbing in I slam and lock the door.
It was just then that I realize that my heart was pounding in my chest, my body was shaking in fear. I look around the truck, the moon light lightening up the woods making it easy for me to see the trees bend and sway in the wind. I take a deep breath and put the key in the ignition, just as I was about to turn it I got a sharp pain in my head starting out dull then increasing in strength causing me to clench my teeth and grab my head.
Tears falling down my face, knowing that I had to make it back to the house before I pass out, I get out of the truck locking it leaving my purse in it. Another wave of pain washes over me taking me to my knees. I start crawling my way back almost screaming as the pain intensifies. Tears rolling down my face I knew I would make it back to the cabin, I try to reach out to Cole screaming his name in my head but not getting a reply, I move onto Luke, then Travis with no answer.
Panic washing over me, terrified thinking they are already dead I pull myself on the ground trying to make it back to Mark. Please, please make them be ok, I don't think I could live without them. What was I thinking, leaving them if I ran they would come after me. I try to make it house it was coming into view but was still quite a few yards away. I look down to see blood on the ground, just then I notice that is coming from my nose.
I panic, hands coming to my face pulling them back the were covered in blood. I was about to scream when I heard a twig snap behind me. I roll over to look behind me seeing nothing but chills ran over my body as I felt someone watching me. My head started spinning my vision blurring. I open my mouth and let out a scream filled with pain. I feel myself about to pass out I try to move but pain consumes my body making me scream again as I finally give into the pain. Just as I was about I feel someone pick me up.
