"LUKE! NO, LUKE!" I sat up quickly to meet a dark room. I wasn't being pulled away by police but the feeling was still there. I was in the hotel bed. Ashton and Michael decided that it would be best to actually be in a hotel instead of that cold and jacked up shed since no one was catching onto us.

"Chelsea? Are you okay?" Michael's morning voice said from the bed to the left of me. I curl my knees into my chest and start crying. Again. What is wrong with me? Ashton sat up from the couch.

"Hey. Don't cry. It was just a nightmare." Ashton walks over to me. But little did he know that my life is a nightmare. Ashton and Michael both decided that it would be best if we actually got a hotel room. No one seemed to be catching onto them and they cared about my safety a whole lot.

Everywhere I went people seemed to notice me. The lobby man did, the house keeper girl did, even people on the street recognized the girl that was kidnapped. That's all I am these days. Michael sat beside me and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close to him.

"It's okay, Kitten." He whispered and pecked my temple. Warm tears were still gliding down my face as Ashton crawled into the bed with us, throwing the blanket over everyone.

"We'll scare the nightmares away, sweetheart. Just try to sleep." He whispered. I nodded and lay down. Both of them turn so their backs were facing me. Just that little gesture made me feel lonely. I quietly cry myself to sleep.

"You really didn't hear her sobbing herself to sleep last night?"

"I did. It felt like it's glued to my mind. She's supposed to see him again today."

"I know. I know. Maybe the nightmare was because she saw him yesterday."

"Are you trying to say that she shouldn't see him, Michael?"

"Of course not! It's just that maybe we shoulder tell her the whole story. You know, about everything." My eyes open slowly and the voices stop. Ashton rushed over to me with a smile.

"Good morning, sweetheart." He says with a dimples grin. I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I look over at Michael who was standing awkwardly in the corner.

"Tell me the whole story? What do you mean?" I asked. Ashton looked over at Michael . He made his way towards me and sat on the bed.

"After Grace, we started to lay low. Everyone did, beside Luke. He seems to have a different mind than the rest of us. He says that he's always on the look for his princess. But when he came home that one morning from the park he seemed so starstruck.

"He told us all about you. Your hair, your eyes. He seemed so in love even though he'd never talked to you. So I came up with an idea that was oh so stupid. I thought that we could get you to be a Stockholm syndrome like we tried to do with Alyx.

"It was all my idea. To kidnap you in the masks, to ruin your life, to force you to fall in love with Luke. I thought it would be harmless but I was wrong. Now you're crying yourself to sleep and constantly having nightmares. I-I'm so sorry." He says. I was shocked. It was his fault. He did this to me.

"I am so sorry, Kitten. You know that I love you." He adds. I don't answer him. I stare out into space, thinking about how he must have not thought about me when he came up with the idea. He just did what he wanted. I refused to cry now. Not with them around me.

"Kitten... Please."

"What, Michael? What do you want me to say? Oh, it's okay that you took my life from me. It's okay that you took the meaning of safety from me. It's all o-fucking-kay!" I start to raise my voice. His eyes widen at my outburst. I stand up and dig through my bag, pulling out a pair of light blue jeans and a crimson hoodie with white Vans.

"Kitten-"

"Can I just go see Luke now? Please?" I cut him off. Ashton nodded and Michael looked down in defeat. I take a quick shower before getting dressed. I blow dry my hair and curl it a little before heading into the front room where the boys were waiting.

"Ready?" Ashton asked. I nodded slowly, not even looking Michael's way. I know I can't be mad at him forever. Possibly not even for a day. But I'll try. We rode in silence. Not a sound besides We The Kings playing from the radio.

We pull up to the jail house and go on inside. I was inspected and stuff, told the rules once again before I could go inside the small room. I waited patiently for Luke to get here. Maybe today will be better. Hopefully he kept his head up like he promised. The door opened and in came Luke himself.

"Baby..." He wore a smile. One that I missed so much. I jump up and ran over to him in a tight hug. He holds on for a while before releasing me.

"Oh, God. You're so beautiful." he whispered with a smile. I blush and connect my lips with his for as long as I could.

"Luke." I giggle as he leans in further when I pull away. He laughs and rests his hands on my waist, laying his forehead on my own.

"I missed you. I know it was only a day but a day feels like forever. I could barely sleep because I knew I could see you the next day." He says. My smile drops at the memory of last night.

"I had a nightmare. About the day you were pulled away by the police." I tell him. He puts his hand on the side of my face so I look at him. He smiled sympathetically.

"It's going to get better."

"You're gonna plead guilty?" I asked, getting serious. His thumb ran across my cheek softly as he smiles.

"I've already confessed, baby. Besides, maybe I could get a little bit less time. I'm probably going to get life but I could get parole." Tears started to build up in my eyes at the thought. But... Niall said 20 years. Life is not 20 years!

"I-I don't want to testify." I choked. Luke pulled me close to him, suddenly getting serious.

"Listen to me, baby. I need you to testify. For both Calum and I. His trial is before mine. You're going to get up on that stand and answer every question they throw at you. Totally truthful." He says. I shake me head, not even noticing the tears falling down my face.

"I'm not strong enough."

"You don't need to be strong. You can cry as much as you want. You just need to do this for us. It might help. I can't stay in prison forever. Being without you for more than a day makes me feel sick." He whispered the last part, pulling a loose strand of hair out of my face.

"I love you. You know that, right?" He asked, looking into my eyes. I stare into his blue orbs, finding safety and love. Something I really needed right now.

"Then why did you have to leave?" I whispered, choking on the words as they left my mouth. Luke's eyes became glossy with tears.

"Because love isn't just being with the person you want forever. It's making them happy. Making them smile for real. I thought that if I was gone, you could be happy again." He says, a single tear gliding down his rosy cheek.

"But I'm only happy with you, Luke. I can't even go to sleep at night without thinking about you. You've done things to me. I used to not want anything to do with you and now I want you." I laugh slightly and wipe my tears. Luke grabbed my wrist and pressing his lips to the palm of my hand.

"I love you so fucking much, Chelsea. I-I need you all the time. I need to be able to hold you and kiss you longer than five seconds. I need to see you smile without tears. I need to cuddle with you one last time." He says against my hand, eyes closed so I couldn't see his eyes as tears slip down.

"We're going to be together again, Luke. I can promise you that, baby."

When Luke was taken away from me, I know I was too weak to see Calum. Michael or Ashton probably have already. I was holding back so many tears. I couldn't handle it anymore. I walk into the front room where Michael was sitting. He stands up quickly when he sees my tears.

I run up to him and cling onto his waist as tight as I could. He was hesitant to hug me back. I sobbed into his shirt, not caring that I was breaking down in front of the lady behind the desk. Michael held onto me tight.

"Please. Don't let go of me. I-I don't want to fall anymore." I begged, burying my face into his shirt. Tears stained his white Idiot! shirt but he didn't seem to care. He just held on tighter.

"Never. I will never, ever let you go."

QOTD: "It's hard to wait for something that might never happen; but it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything you want." ~Me

Sorry the quote isn't from some awesome celebrity. I just think a lot.

I think that if you really like something, you should tell someone. I tell everyone about everything that's on my mind. It gets annoying af but it helps me a lot to get things off my mind. And if it's too... you know... deep... I write it in a journal. I've got a Sad Book that I write in every time I cry. And it's like so full XD XD

Take my advice I guess. I only want the best for you. Because, y'know, I love you. I protect the people I love. I will bite someone if you want. I will, not even kidding.

~Chelsea :) :) :) :)
