My Life

Today's the day, we are going to save Scar. And yes I said 'we'. Jack feels pretty guilty about the whole situation. He said it was his fault that Alex proposed to Scar in the first place. Really it's not at all his fault. We all made our decisions that brought us to today.

Normally I would have told him to let it go, but he feels a need to help. I'm grateful for a friend like Jack, he's been there from the beginning and now he's here helping me take out his best friend.

When we first spoke of the plan and I asked him how he felt about Alex dying, he shrugged it off and said 'shit happens, he was being stupid, I'm just gonna clean up his mess'. It was pretty cold, especially since they've known each other since grade seven. But Jack is very loyal to me, so I hope he shows it today.

Our plan is very simple, in fact I don't know how I didn't come up with it. Jack will distract Alex, and I have to find and get her as far away from Alex as possible.

I know everyone's blaming themselves for Scar being kidnapped, but everything is my fault. I'm her boyfriend and the father of her children, I was supposed to protect her, but once again I've failed her. If I could go back and not have gone to California, Scarlet and Alex wouldn't have become close and things would have been much simpler. This is all my mess, and I have to go clean it up.

We drive up to Alex's house and park in the driveway. We're in Jack's car of course, and I pull on the handle to get out, and then Jack pulls on my arm.

"Andy, what if Alex's not even apart of this?" He asks. I can tell this is difficult for him to go through with, I sigh.

"Jack if you want to back out, do so now." I tell him.

"I just, he's just my best friend and all, I don't want him to die."

"He killed someone, I know I'm not one to talk, but he also took Scar against her own will. I don't want to kill him, but if it must be done then it must be done."

I get out of the car and hide on the side of the house. Jack walks up to the front door and knocks. Moments later I here...

"Hey Jack, what's going on?" Alex asks.

"I thought we could hangout today, maybe go get some drinks at the bar, like in the good old days." Jack suggests.

"No thanks, I'm not feeling well." Alex says.

"Wait, I think I forgot my lighter in your house." Jack says.

"I didn't know you smoked." Says Alex.

"I don't, it's just always good to have a lighter, you know? That's why I have to go get mine." Jack says. I hear them both go inside, then I get a text from Jack.

*Alex and I are in the kitchen, go find her.*

I quickly walk inside and check the first door. I'm guessing this is Scar's old office. I walk inside and see Scarlet handcuffed to the desk and passed out. I walk over and kneel beside her.

"Scar, babe wake up." I whisper.

She doesn't move. I shake her and still she's motionless. I check her pulse, she's still breathing. Why woke she wake up? I get up and look around the room. There's nothing here that would knock her unconscious. I check through the desk and I don't see what I'm looking for, but something familiar.

The envelope! She kept it for years in her desk and still it hasn't been open. Good thing Alex didn't find it. I take it out of the drawer and put it in my back pocket. I text Jack.

*You need to buy me more time*-A

*I don't know if I can, he's get annoyed*-J

*Please Jack, she's unconscious and handcuffed*-A

*You're going to need something to cut it off cause Alex's swinging around the key*-J

*Shit!*-A

I place Scar on the floor and lift the desk. I slip the cuff off of the desk and place it down. I kneel down and try to pick her up, but everything goes black.
