Going Back

  "Who.. who is this?" I questioned 

  "You will find that out very soon." The voice said 

  "Listen if this is some kind of prank I'm done." I exclaimed 

 "Why would this be a prank? I have orders for you." The voice stuttered 

 "Orders?" I asked 

 "Yes orders." The voice laughed 

 "Okay, you don't give me orders and how did you get my number?" I replied 

 "You remember that little waitress, yeah she works for me." The voice said 

 "No.." I said very 

        They know I have Alex 

"Listen to me Austin if you do not follow my orders I will make sure you live a hard and slow life." The voice said 

"Already am." I replied 

"I don't think you heard me clearly... Everybody you care about will be dead." The voice remarked "Now are you ready for my orders?" 

        I stayed silent 

"Good" The man laughed "I want you to bring Alex to me, I'm located at the end of Mark drive meet me in the parking tunnel at the end of the nearest building." 

 "What if I don't? You don't know where I live." I stated quietly 

"Oh, but I do I've been with Alex since the neighbour  called the station. Carl and I are very good friends." The voice said 

        The line went dead 

"Hello?" I yelled 

        I looked at Alex who was sitting up against the bed frame. Her eyes were filled with tears but she wasn't crying. 

    "Take me." Alex said very quietly 

    "I... I can't do that." I stated 

    "Listen, you were fine without me." Alex replied 

    "No, babe I wasn't, I really wasn't." I exclaimed 

    "You need to keep your grandmother safe." Alex said picking at her nails 

        she had a(n) habit of doing that when she was nervous 

    "You don't have to go." I said

   "Austin! we don't have a choice." Alex yelled 

  "Yes, yes we do." I said pulling her into a hug 

        she pulled away 

"We'll figure this out okay? I promised you I wouldn't let anything happen to you." I stated quietly 

"I can't put you through this." Alex replied 

"Do you see these?" I asked showing her my arms "I like to think these are battle scars, I have overcome so many and I will overcome another one. Alex I haven't cut since I met you because I knew you were special and I was right. If you try to push me away I'll just come back." 

Alex's POV: 

        I loved him, I loved him a lot and that's why he couldn't be with me I was dangerous like a drug I couldn't stay. 

  "I don't love you." I stated quietly 

  "What?" Austin asked 

  "I just needed somewhere to stay, I never loved you, you were a charity case." I replied getting up
