I just nodded hesitantly trusting Ethan to know Lucas would be waiting for me. But as I turned away from Ethan to start running away, he grabbed my hand before kissing me passionately full of love and hunger. I kissed him back as we fought for dominance memorizing one another's touch knowing what was about to happen.

"I love you, Amelia." He breathed pulling away after a few minutes making me look up into his golden-brown eyes I missed so much. "I love you more." I breathed sadly as he ran his thumb across my cheek softly.

"Now run, baby." Ethan said pulling away slightly before running through the woods so I would not be seen towards my front yard. I saw only one black car hiding away from my house with Lucas standing by. "Amelia. Are you alright?" Lucas asked walking towards me quickly as he saw me rushing towards him.

"Ethan is going inside. There is only two of them. Timothy and one of the guards." I explained making him nod before mumbling into his sleeve. "Please, Ian is in there." I pleaded softly making him look at me sympathetically.

"I know. It will be okay. Once Ethan tells us it is a good time to go in, we will. They won't get hurt." Lucas assured placing his hand on my shoulder making me nod weakly before looking up at my house. It was then that I noticed everyone else in hiding.

There were two other black cars hiding from sight and men with guns stood in the trees waiting for Lucas and Ethan's signal to storm inside. I filled with nerves and worry for what could possibly happen when I heard two-gun shots.

"Ethan!" I screamed as tears fell down my face making Lucas hold me back from running inside. As he held my chest against his he lifted his hand to give the signal for everyone to rush inside. I struggled to pull away from Lucas' hold as he continued to hold me in a tight comforting hug. I held onto his jacket to keep me from falling feeling my knees give out on me as I continued to sob into his chest.

"All clear." A man said from the speaker in Lucas' car making him pull away slightly. I instantly filled with worry and slight relief at the man's words making me run up to my house ignoring Lucas calling out for me.

My door was pushed in from all the men storming my house when I saw a huge mess of broken glass and blood from our fight. Ian and Colton sat on the couch holding their heads in pain making me rush towards them. "Ian. Oh, my god. Are you okay? I am so sorry." I said full of regret and hate for myself putting him in this situation as I fell on my knees looking up at him.

"It's alright, Amelia. Nothing happened to me. I just woke up." He said instantly making me wrap my arms around him tightly. After we pulled away, I looked around the room for Ethan when Colton spoke. "I'm okay too thanks." He said sarcastically as he held an ice pack to the back of his head making me chuckle.

"You better be. I wouldn't be able to deal with them without you." I teased making him chuckle as I stood needing to find Ethan. "Fucking bitch." Timothy spit as he walked by me in handcuffs as two men walked him outside.

"Amelia. I'm okay." Ethan said walking up to me making me look away from Timothy. "Who got shot?" I asked as he hugged me making me wrap my arms tight around his muscular frame pressing the side of my face against his warm chest.

"Cody. The other guard" He answered as I pulled away making him no towards the living room where he laid dead. "Oh, my god." I breathed making him turn my chin with his finger to face him again.

"Don't worry I will find a new place for you two to stay." Ethan stated making me nod weakly just glad this is all over. "What was their plan anyway?" I asked making him sigh. "I'll tell you later. We need to go to the hospital." He said making me fill with realization forgetting about his injury.

"Oh my god, right. Of course." I breathed quickly making him chuckle. "Use my car." Lucas said tossing his keys to Ethan making me turn to Ian. "Are you sure you are okay?" I asked hoping he would follow us to the hospital just to make sure. "Yes, it just feels like a wicked hangover." Ian answered making Colton chuckle in agreement making me roll my eyes.

"Okay." I replied hesitantly knowing I was drugged also and was somewhat okay afterwards. Ethan and I left my messy house full of men I didn't know as I started to notice him limping. "Give me the keys." I said as we walked up to Lucas' car making him roll his eyes before tossing them to me.

We quickly drove to the hospital in silence as I went over everything that has happened the past 24 hours. Being drugged and kidnapped and having to use all my remaining energy to escape. Knowing if I hadn't drunk the coffee Timothy as fast as I did things would have been a lot worse. I silently wondered if this was ever going to finally end. If Ethan and I could really have a normal quiet life without worrying about being hurt or taken from one another.

"Are you alright?" Ethan asked as I continued to drive making me nod. "Yeah. Tired is all." I answered before pulling up to the hospital emergency doors. I quickly got out to walk around the car to help him towards the doctors and nurses rushing towards us.

They asked us both rapid questions that Ethan answered as I stayed silent not being able to make out anything, they were all saying. I continued to walk with them all as they wheeled him into a room until one of the nurses stopped me from following.

"Are you hurt also?" She asked making me shake my head. But before I could reply everything seemed to come rushing back to me as my adrenaline faded away making me collapse against the cold tile floor.

The last thing I heard was the doctors and nurses around me but nothing I could make out as I drifted to sleep.

I woke up in a hospital bed with the warm sun shining in my face making me wince. I lifted my hand to cover my eyes when I noticed IV's in my hand and arm making me frown. A huge migraine pounded inside my head making me close my eyes again to sleep when someone knocked on the door.

"Hey. Can I come in?" Ian asked making me smile. "Of course." I said struggling to sit up in the bed. "How are you feeling?" He asked making me shrug weakly. "Fine. Why am I here?" I asked as he sat down on the bed beside me.

"I don't know. It's probably just formality." He replied making me nod weakly. "How is Ethan? Where is he?" I asked quickly making him look away from me. "He's still in surgery." Ian answered making me frown as I began to fill with worry.

"Ethan said he is going to find another place for us to stay. Somewhere so hopefully no one else knows where we live again. I'm so sorry I-" I began making him interrupt me. "Don't apologize, Mia. None of this was your fault." Ian said sternly making me nod weakly.

"I just wish Ethan and I could just be happy. Instead, it seems everyone wants us apart and to see us hurt just because we want a better life." I confessed as he placed his hand on my knee trying to comfort me. "You will be happy, Amelia." He replied making me look up to see him staring down at me full of remorse making me sigh.

"Are you okay with leaving our home?" I asked knowing that was where all our memories where of us and our parents. "Yes. I never liked that house after they died." He confessed making me nod feeling the same way.

I could tell Ian wanted to tell me something else as the room grew quiet and he looked around aimlessly. But before I could ask what was on his mind the door opened revealing Ethan.
