If By Chance

"Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
It's like rain, on your wedding day.
It's free ride, when you've already paid.
It's the good advice, you just didn't take, and who would of thought, it figures."
- ironic by Alanis morissett

Jordans P.O.V.

"Big day tomorrow." Bailey says staring at the wall. I smile, doing exactly the same. My heart pounds. I can't believe I'm doing this. What happened? Besides so much. My life has changed completely in a matter of months. I haven't talked to my family. I lost someone that I thought was a best friend. Now I'm moving half was across the country for a guy. Not just any guy. My guy.

"You really want to do this right?" I look at him. His eyes darker each moment that goes by. I didn't know what I wanted. But I do know one thing. I want him. I'm so beyond thankful for everything. I'll have Lena, Will and Alex to come with me. My response to him was a nod. The power this man has over me.

We turn on shameless as soon as we finish packing the essentials. Bailey said we won't have to worry about money or any clothes besides a weeks worth. I hope he's right. So many things on my mind it's hard to pin point each one directly. We're meeting Alex at our usual hang out spot. The old half way torn down park in the morning. Will and Lena are meeting us here. Within a few episodes my eyes slowly drift shut. Somehow I eventually fall asleep.

I'm woken by arms wrapping around my waist. I let out a groan which then I receive a "shhh". I wrap my arms around his neck. The front door shuts behind us. This is it we're leaving. I kiss Baileys cheek. Then I realize something.

He doesn't smell like he normally does. He also feels a lot bonier then his normal muscles do. I pick my head up slowly and look. My eyes widen and my heart stops. I start kicking the second I realize it's not Bailey. I scream as loud as I possibly could hope and praying Bailey would hear me.

"Help! Bailey! Help me!"

A blow upside my head causes stars in my vision. Within seconds everything's black.

Bailey's P.O.V.

Screams can be heard inside. Quickly, I rise to find the bed is empty. I shoot up, rising so quickly my head begins to spin. Where is she?

I can't believe this. I let them take her. My mind wonders. Someone must have done or said something. But who?

I look out the window to see a car speed off. Giving the time of night it's hard to make any of the features out. I let him take her. Rodriguez. I run to my car faster then I've ever ran. Tears threaten to spill from my eyes. I'm so stupid. I put the car into drive and begin my chase.

The laughs. The memories. Everything hits me like a bag of bricks. The tears flow leaving wet stains on my shirt. She's gone. There's no trace of the car anywhere. Without hesitation I pick up my phone.

"Hey man. We aren't supposed to leave for another hour what's up?" Will asks.

"He took her. He fucking came into my house and took her!"

"Meet me in five."

I meet him at our usual location. The warehouse. We go in and he quickly sits at the computer typing her number in trying to track her. Unfortunately for us the location that pops up is my house.

"What man do you think it was."

"I know he's with Rodriguez. That's all I know."

He quickly types more nonsense into the computer when a list of names pile up. All of his men. Every single one of them including a newbie he hired yesterday. We get a hold of Alex and she meets us. Tear pouring out of her eyes.

"Do you recognize any names?" It takes her almost twenty minutes to read through the list until she gets to a name and shock enters her eyes. I can tell something hit her hard. I beg and beg for her to talk to me. If this goes anything like.. we don't have a lot of time.

"M-Michael Francis."

My mind goes blank. How the hell does she know him.

"He's dating Olivia."

That bitch. She fucking ratted. How fucking dare she does she understand what she just did? I look at Alex and head in her hands. Tears now dripping onto her lap. When I find this guy I will kill him. No doubt in my mind.

"Call Olivia. Now." I grit my teeth and she does exactly what I say. I sit next to Will as he continues to type. My blood is boiling. Olivia was a part in this and I fucking know it.

She's ruined everything. My clean slate. My relationship with Jordan. Everything. Once I get her back I have no choice but to leave her. This isn't what I wanted. My mind wanders back to that night. I was thirteen.

Tears flow out even more. When I get my hands on Rodriguez I will kill him. For all the hurt and ache he put me through. He ruined me. Ruined my entire life. My mother never wanted this life for me. She told me every night how I will grow up to be the best person I can be and promised she will never let me get involved with my fathers business. Even if that meant taking me and running.

"She's on her way here."

"What the fuck is wrong with you! We planned on leaving so this didn't happen and now, you're best friend was taken because of you!" I screamed so loud my eyes started to bug out of my head. Large veins feel like they're threatening to burst at any moment. This is all her fucking fault.

Sobs release from her lips and that doesn't stop me from feeding it more to her. Alex grabs my hand making me focus on her. I let go of Olivia's arm and back away. Ruffling my hair. This bitch.

"Why Olivia? Why would you do that to her? You know that this is a life or death situation. They took her god only knows where and now she's gone. She could be dead." Alex remains calm but the tears don't stop releasing.

"I-I don't k-know."
