I walk outside and sit on our front steps and cry.

Brad sits next to me and puts his arm around me.

"I'm sorry...." He says.

"It's ok, it's not your fault." I say.

He hugs me as I cry. I look at the ground and see someone standing there. I look up to see a happy face smiling at me.

"Hey, are you ok?" Martial asks.

I run into his arms and cry. He hugs me.

"What's wrong Becky?" He says.

"Just.... My friend.. She.. She.." I say.

"She...?" He says.

"Ty was cheating on her with her friend." Brad says. "And she tried to.."

"I understand..." Says Martial.

Martial looks at him then me.

"I'm sorry." He says.

I keep crying.

"Let me cheer you up, follow me." He says.

He takes me to his car and we drive to a look out point on a hill.

"It's beautiful." I say.

"It's sure is." He says.

He gets out of the car and takes me with him. We sit on the hood of his car and look at the sunset. I lean my head against his shoulder and he puts his arm around me.

"Would you um..." He says.

I look at him.

"What is it?" I say.

"Wanna go out with me?" He asks.

"Yes." I say smiling.

We lay back on the hood and look at the stars. He holds my hand and I tighten mine around his.

"I'll never let anyone hurt you." He says. "Never."

              ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

I open my eyes. I stare at the ceiling. The day Martial asked me out was the happiest day of my life. I sit up on my bed.

I hear a bang as the door closes and I see John wall by the door way all tipsy. He's drunk. He comes back to my door.

"What are you looking at." He says.

"Uhh...." I say with a disgusted look.

He frowns and walks up to me and slaps me. I scream in pain. He unchains me and throws me to the floor and kicks me.

"John stop!" Yells Ryan running in.

He grabs John and pulls him away. I spit up blood.

"John stop, you're drunk." He says.

"No I'm not!" Yells John.

Ryan takes him to a room and closes the door. He comes back in and sets me on the bed.

"Are you ok?" He asks.

"I'm fine." I say.

He leaves and only chains my feet but takes the key. Paul walks by looking at me then goes down the hall.

I touch my lip and feel blood. I begin to cry. I hug my knees.

AT MARTIALS HOME

Becky sits next to me on my car hood and we look at the stars. I look at her eyes and see the stars make her eyes twinkle.

She looks over at me and blushes.

"What?" She asks.

"You're just so beautiful right now." I say.

She laughs and leans into me.

"I remember the first time you took me here." She says.

"Me too."

She hugs me and I hug her back.

~•~•~

I sit up and look around my room. I sit on my porch. I look at the sunrise and sigh.

"I miss you Becky."

                ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

I hear John walk in and he turns me towards him. He slaps me and makes me tear up. He takes a picture and leaves the room. I hear them say,

"Drop off this note and picture so they pay faster. Only five more days or she's dead." He says.

Five more days or she's dead, it's echoes in my head. I sit in the corner of my bed and sigh.

"Please help me...." I whisper.

  I cry quietly. I look over and see a cup of water in the table so I grab it and drink some. My stomach grumbles and I sigh knowing I won't get food for a while. I see a piece of glass and grab it. I try to pick lock the lock. I hear someone coming and quickly pull the glass away but cut my leg.

I hid it and see Paul pass by and Ryan.

I drop the glass and check my leg. It bleeds and I touch it.

"Ouch." I say.

"You need to stop trying." I hear John say.

I look over and see him in the door way.

"Stop or I will chain both hands up like last time." He says.

He breaks a glass bottle and leaves the room.

I lean back against my bed and listen to the rain falling.
