“Why would you do this to me, sweets?”

I took a deep breath to calm myself and took his hand in mine. I dragged him down into the stairwell of the apartment complex before dropping his hand. I connected gazes with him, keeping my face clear of emotion.

“Why, Annah? Why would you do this to me?” His silky tone still had the rough texture that made his voice heavenly. Long black eyelashes cascaded over his gorgeous muddy green eyes as he gave me a pleading look. “Wasn’t our love enough for you?” His voice rung out in the stairwell, engulfing and surrounding my body entirely; the hurt in it sounded clear. His usual perfectly spiked chocolate brown hair laid flat against his forehead, taking any intimidation factor away from his structure. “I thought that we had a plan, break the band apart to get revenge on the Biersack’s. It was a simple task, how could you ruin it?” He took a breath and stepped closer to me. He took both of my hands into both of his and laced them together. He leaned his forehead against mine as I looked down at our hands. His well tanned, soft hands wound around mine; giving me a sense of protection. I felt myself falling back into his trap again; the same trap I fell into two years ago. He tilted his head down slightly to look in my eyes as I looked up at him. He leaned closer to me and connected our lips. His warm lips worked softly with mine and all too soon he pulled away making me yearn for more.

Snap out of it! I yelled at myself. “Tucker, I’m sorry, but I got carried away. I missed CC too much, you’ve never been able to love me the way he loves me. Yes, you’ve gotten me everything I wanted, but CC knows what I need. It may have looked like I loved you, but I was just in love with what you would do for me, I wasn’t in love with you.” I sighed and dropped his hands, tucking them in my pockets. “You only think of me as your girlfriend and I only think of you as my boyfriend; I need more than that. CC’s my best friend and my brother; and hopefully my boyfriend. It’s time to move on, Tucker. I’ve found my true soul mate and my future, and it doesn’t involve you.” With that being said, I lightly kissed his cheek and left the stairwell.

I returned to Juliet’s apartment and walked into the living room.

“Back so early?” Eli questioned me. I nodded and resumed my spot next to his feet. I started to feel myself fade out of reality and take full control in my thoughts.

-CC’s POV-
I tried just about everything to keep my mind off of Annah, but nothing worked. Getting wasted only brought back more memories and dreams of her, and everything reminded me of her. What really sucked is that Ashley wouldn’t stop asking me questions about her. Trying to hide from him in his small ass apartment was not easy at all.

I took another swig out of my beer when my phone vibrated again. I unlocked it and sighed when I saw Annah’s face on my background.
New Message: Andy
Yeah she’s still over here. Her brother Eli flew in today too, she looks pretty pissed right now. She looks like she spaced out quite a while ago. Dude will you please make up with her? She’s starting to get on my nerves.
I sighed and clicked on the reply button.
To: Andy
What do you think I’m trying to do? I text her all the time telling her I miss her and that we need to talk but she won’t reply. Will you try to get a bit closer to her just so I know that she’s okay?
I tapped on the send button and bubbled my lips. I stood up and walked into the kitchen to throw my beer can away. I saw Ashley walk in behind me, and then continue to the fridge.

“So, got in touch with her yet?”

“Jesus Christ, Ashley. If I did do you think that I would still be here?” I paused and took a deep breath. “Sorry, man. I didn’t mean it that way, I just really miss her. Why can’t I go back home anyways?”

“The hell if I know! Jinxx just said that I needed to keep an eye on you in case you did anything stupid or whatever. Personally I couldn’t give two shits about what you do. You’re a grown man and if you do something stupid you’ll get put behind bars. At least you’ll be accountable for it there.” I know that he was joking, but that really shook me.

“God, I’m an awful person.” I sighed softly and unlocked my phone.
From: Andy
Her eye is healing but she’s got fresh cuts on her legs. Dude fix your problems between her or she’s going to end up dead.

I hopped up onto the counter top and put my face in my hands. I’m driving her to her demise, she’s going to end up killing herself because of me, and I can’t do a fucking thing about it.
