"Matthew?"

"Matthew? What about Matthew?" I pointed towards the door, Gerard turned around to see Matt standing there.

"Shiloh, what happened to you? Lindsey called me and said you were in the hospital, she said you were attacked." He walked closer to me, coming to the other side of my bed. He leaned down and hugged me, giving my forehead a kiss.

"Hey Gerard, thank you so much for helping her. My dad says hi and to give him a call, wants to get together and play some D&D soon."

My mind started screaming, "tell Gerard! Tell him right now! Don't let him leave! Tell Gerard that Matt was one of the attackers!" I looked up at Gerard, he kept his eyes on Matthew, almost glaring at him. Did he know?

"Shiloh?" I moved my head to look up at Matt. "Are you okay? I was so worried about you, when you never came home and I tried calling you. I was going to call the police....."

"Why didn't you?" I was actually shocked by Gerard's interruption.

"Excuse me?" Matt now looked angry, if Gerard left he would take it out on me.

"I'm assuming the last time you saw her was Friday evening before she went to dinner with me, right? It's Sunday afternoon, meaning she's been missing for almost two days now. You didn't call the police, you didn't even try to fucking call me. What kind of boyfriend are you?"

"Are you saying I don't care about her? I absolutely love Shiloh and would never want anyone to hurt her." In some way he was probably telling the truth, he wouldn't want just anyone hurting me, he was the one that wanted that honor.

"Gerard, I think you can leave now. She'll be fine with me, you've done enough."

"I'm not fucking going anywhere."

"What do you mean?" All of us turned towards the door to see Lindsey now standing there. She looked pissed, "Gerard it's time for you to come home. Her boyfriend is here now, she's fine. I'm leaving and you better be behind me. Shiloh, I am sorry about what happened to you, no one deserves that."

She left us, in that last instance she actually looked sorry for me. Gerard stood there, I could tell he was thinking about what he should do. Suddenly he ran after her, leaving me alone with Matthew. He walked to the door and locked it, slowly coming back to me.

"I knew you would run to him for help, still a little whore. He doesn't care about you, not like he does for Lynz, and he will never love you. Did you forget that I'm the only one who could ever love you? Did you forget I'm the only one who finds you beautiful? Now tell me you love me."

"No."

"No? I think you need another lesson." He grabbed my arm and pressed down on a couple of the cuts. Making me scream in pain, but he was quicker and covered my mouth before I let out anything. His nails digging into them, piercing the skin and going deeper.

"Now tell me you love me." No matter what I refused to tell him that, not this time. He raised his hand to hit me but was stopped when knocking came at the door.

"Shy? Why is the door locked? Open the door." It was Gerard, coming to save the day.

-------------------------------------------------------

After thinking about if I should follow after Lindsey or stay with Shiloh, I decided on following Lynz. I raced after her and caught her outside the hospital doors. "Lynz, wait." She turned to look at me, she was crying.

"Can we just go home, be with our daughter and maybe get away for awhile?"

"Babe, I would love that but I can't leave Shiloh." She turned to walk away but I grabbed her arm. "She's not safe with Matt."
