* * Nicole's POV * *

My heart raced knowing that at any moment Liam will walk through the door with a tray of some sort of food he whipped up for me.

I take a deep breath.

The past few days I have casually been trying to show Liam that I am more comfortable around him so that it's not all of a sudden like WHAM I love you Liam!

It seems to have worked so far because he untied my legs and been staying to talk more.

Is Liam going stupid enough to believe this?

I sigh.

If I can make it believable he might... most guys only seem women for their bodies right?

I hear Liam's footsteps come down the stairs and near the door.

This has to work.

I'm going to give this my best shot, and if I die trying so be it. I'm not being Liam's shiny new toy for the rest of my life.

As Liam unlocks the door I close my eyes and pretend to be sound asleep.

The door opens and my heart was racing... I was terrified, hoping to god that this plan works.

I did everything in my power to stay as still and as sleep like as possible.

Liam lets out a small laugh as he closes the door, "She's so cute when she's sleeping."

I mentally gag.

Liam places down the tray and it makes a loud thud which I use as my cue to 'wake up'.

"Wakey wakey," He says cockily as I yawn, "Sleep well?"

I nod, "It was one of my better nights thanks for asking."

He sends a wink my way, "Anytime babe."

Oh, I forget about his little nickname that he had given me... I hate it with a passion.

"I like it when you say that?" I coo shyly.

He turns with a mischievous grin as he brings over the food, "I knew you would sooner or later babe."

I playfully giggle as Liam feeds me.

Ew what was this stuff... tar?!

"Mhmm... delicious!" I say with a smile after I swallow.

"I'm glad you like it," he says as he continues to feed me.

"You know I never realized how green your eyes were," I say looking deep into his eyes.

I stare into his eyes for a moment before shyly looking away... I do my best to force a blush on my face but who knows I probably just look constipated.

He places his hand on my chin and lifts my head up so that I am forced to look into his eyes, "Don't look away. I like it when you look at me."

I giggle... but on the inside, I'm like laughing to death.

Then I say, "I'm sorry."

He furrows his eyebrows, "For what?"

I sigh, "For everything, I put you through. It was wrong of me. I only wished I realized my feelings sooner."

He shakes his head, "I knew you always loved me. You just needed some help bringing them to the surface."

We sit and talk as he finishes feeding me his tar-like food.

Could this many really be that stupid to fall for this? He is eating up everything I say.

When he gets up to put the dish away I ask as flirty as possible, "Hey Liam. Is it possible for you could handcuff me to the bed instead of the wall? Sleeping here is just really... uncomfortable"

There was this weird flicker in his eyes that scared me but I didn't show any of it.

Without a moment to lose, he unhooked the rope from the wall and brought me to the bed.

I sit on it and stretch my legs out with a laugh, "This is way better than the floor. Don'tcha think?"

"I think anything with you on it is better."

I internally throw up.

But I just sit there and giggle.

Liam flashes a grin as he stands up, "I hope you're comfortable. I'll be right back."

"I'll be here," I say as I rest my head on the pillow that is hard as a rock... ouch.

Liam walks to the door.

Just a little more... c'mon.

Then Liam opens the door and I immediately say, "Liam wait!"

He turns around eagerly and I sit up and stare at him.

I use my head and gesture for him to come over which, thankfully, he does. And he leaves the door wide open!

Yes!

He sits on the bed... right next to me.

God please help me!

"I- I-" is all I can say as I pretend to be starstruck by how close he is.

In a moment's notice, Liam crashes his lips onto mine.

I do everything in my power to make it actually seem like I am into it... even tho I am dying on the inside.

Liam pulls back as he licks his lips.

I breathlessly whisper into his hear, "I love you."

He does this weird growl thing before saying, "Yeah you do."

He places his lips smackdown on my neck and I gasp in a frightfully way but Liam doesn't recognize it as such, he's too 'crazy in love' right now.

"Liam," I say hoping he will pull back to look at me.

Luckily he does.

I bring my head down to his neck and breath against his skin, "I think this would be better if," I bite the edge of his shirt and give it a playful tug, "If you weren't wearing this."

I pull back with a wink as I casually try to shiny my handcuffed hands down my back and swing them under my legs so that they are in front of me... and let me tell you it I way harder than it looks in the movies.

Liam seems to think this is hot or something cause he watches me as I do it and I giggle as I scoot closer to him

Ew... i didn't realize how much I hate giggling.

I flicker my eyes down to his shirt and of course he starts to take it off in this weird slow way, but I wait until the shirt is just covering his head before I wack him with my hands and kick him so hard that he flies off of the bed and hits his head against the wall.

I immediately run to the door and shut it.

STUPID NICOLE YOU SHOULD HAVE GRABBED THE KEYS AND LOCKED HIM IN.

There was no time to go back and get them so I quickly run up the stairs, panting like a dog. Sitting on the ground for a week really does stuff to ya.

When I reach the top, I can just barely make out the front door in this rubble of a house. There were broken boards and cobwebs everywhere.

I cheer as I run towards the door.

Running with your hands cuffed is hard...

I push it open and the sun kisses my skin causing me to smile. The grass touches my feet as I take my first step into the grass. I was about three steps into the yard when something hard hits me in the back causing me to tumble to the ground in pain.

I grunt as I look back to see what had hit me and see that he had thrown a brick at me!

Since my hands were still cuffed, I do this weird run crawl before I was able to stand up and run again.

Just as I pick my head up I see Jake running towards me.

Tears weld up in my eyes.

"Nicole! You're alright!" He says as he runs towards me.

He doesn't know Liam is behind me!

Jake pulls me into a hug and I say, "No Jake we need to run! Liam is-"

Then there were a few clicks of a gun loading that came from behind us that caused me to stop. Jake's hands drop by his side.

Liam shouts aggressively at us, "Move and I'll shoot."

I stand in front of Jake, "It's me you want. Take me and Let him go."

He laughs and shakes his head, "Both of you. Inside. NOW!"

We follow as he says and quickly walk inside.

Liam pushes Jake to the ground before grabbing my hair and pulls me into him, "You little b*tch! You think you can get away with that huh?"

I look at Jake and notice that as he fell he spotted something out of the corner of his eye... a knife that was hiding under a broken board.

I grunt as he spits in my face and shoves the gun against my head, "Why Nicole? You could have been happy with me"

"That's not true," I say keeping the attention, "You could have been happy with any."

Jake slyly grabs the knife and hides it behind his back.

He shakes his head again, "It's you. You're the only one I want and I realize you can never truly be mine until Jake is out of my way."

Liam lifts the gun from my head and points it right at Jake.

My eyes widen in fear.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger I push his arm away and knock the gun out of his hand sending it flying across the room.

Liam screams in anger as he grabs me and pushes me into the wall. My head smashes into a mirror and I fall to the ground.

Liam charges at me but Jake punches him in the face before he can even get close. I crawl behind a big wooden board to catch my breath. My head was spinning as I sat up.

I could hear Jake and Liam fighting behind me.

Jake had knocked Liam to the ground but Liam got right back up and swung back at him. Jake took the knife and cut his arm and again Liam grunts in pain.

Liam swings again misses, allowing Jake to just barely cut Liam across the chest.

I take a deep breath and as my head clears a light shines into my eye and I can see something picking out from one of the broken kitchens cabinets.

I shuffle over to and grab the handle to pull out a disgusting empty glass filled with spiderwebs.

I eagerly grab the bottle and I am a little surprised at how leavy this bottle was, "this is one dense bottle" I whisper under my breath

I stand up and turn to see Jake punch Liam in the face.

"Yeah!"

Liam glared at me and decided to tackle Jake to the floor and kick him into the wall. He grabs the knife out of Jake's hand, "She's mine!" and just as he was about to throw it Jake I charge towards Liam hitting him as hard as I can in the head causing him to spiral to the ground. Surprisingly the bottle doesn't break.

"I belong to no one!" I declare.

Liam tries to get up again but I hit him a second time even harder causing the glass to shatter into a million tiny peices over his head sending him into sweet unconsciousness.

Liam lays completely motionless I cheer in victory.

Jake groans uncomfortably as he says, "That was supposed to be my job."

Then my mouth drops and run over to Jake's side. The side of his shirt was drenched with blood.

The knife that I had thought I stopped had pierced Jake's side. Tears weld up in my eyes, "I'm sorry. This is all my fault."

"Nicole I'm going to be fine. It didn't go too deep." He says looking into my eyes with a smile.

I instantly take off my shirt and place it on his wound and apply pressure to stop the blood.

"I missed you," he says softly.

I smile, "Jake."

"Yeah?" He says with a smile.

"I love you" his smile grows across his face and he seems to forget all about his cut and places his lips against mine.

Tears ran down both of our faces.

I kissed him like no tomorrow. I never wanted to let go.

I didn't realize how much I missed him until this moment.

Jake rests his hand on the bare of my back and pulls me closer, this accidentally causes me to press a little too hard down on his wound and Jake whines in pain.

"OMG I'm sorry!"

He chuckles, "Don't be!"

Soon enough there were voices shouting from outside and a handful of cops enter the wrecked house.

One immediately arrests Liam while the others call out for a medic and approach us.

Everything happened so fast, a woman handed me a blanket as a man uncuffed me. Then a few medics helped Jake and I out of the house.

I refused to leave Jake's side the entire time. I was not leaving him, not when he needed me.

While the medics cared for Jake's wound a few cops asked to talk to me about what happened and I tell them everything I knew.

I peek over their shoulder to see a woman dragging Liam into a cop car. He was just barely awake but he was yelling at me to no end.

I just sit and shake my head.

"You'll be mine one day Nicole! Mark my words! I will have you!" He shouts.

Anger boiled from every pore in my body. I clench my hands into fists, and then as if something came over me I stand up and glare at him, and with all my might shout, "F*ck you Liam!"

Jake's eyes widen to the size of a golfball.

I sit back down angrily and mischievous grin forms at his lips.

"Nicole's first swear!!" He coos as he pinches my cheek, "I'm so proud."

I laugh with a blush, I cannot believe I just shouted that in front of all these people.

"Was that Nicole?" Dan says as he approaches us with Alice, Asher, and Dylan.

"Yup! That was her alright!" Jake laughs.

Alice smiles and gives me a big hug, "AHHH I missed you. I can't believe you said f*ck you but I am so glad you did because that b*tch deserved it!"

Everyone laughs.

There was silence for a moment before Alice softly says, "Your Dad is back!"

My eyes light up, "He is?"

She nods happily.

"And he is divorcing your Mom!" Dan shouts happily but Alice jabs him in the side.

"He is?" I question.

Jake wraps his around me, he was about to say something comforting but I blurt out, "Thank goodness! I really am free now!"

Everyone just laughs.

"Being tied up for who knows how long has got me really thinking. And you know what... I'm done letting people think they can control my life.

"Preach sista!" Alice cheers as she hugs me again.

"It's good to have you back," Asher says happily and gives me a hug after Alice, "Jake has been a total wreck without you."

I turn to him and his face is beat red and tease him, "Is this true?"

"Oh hell yeah. He was losing his mind!" Dan laughs.

"Yes it's true," Jake laughs as he kisses my cheek.

"Awe you were worried about me?" I smile warmly as I kiss him.

He nods shyly, "I couldn't bear the thought of losing you."

We stay there for a bit while the medics make sure Jake is okay and the cops come speak to us briefly before we leave home.

Jake was miffed cause he had to let Dan ride his motorcycle home but I cheered him up holding his hand the whole way to my house.

Alice drops us off at my house and Jake and I get out, "See you tomorrow" she says before driving off.

Jake follows behind me as I walk the front door of my house.

I take a deep breath before opening the door and entering.

The second I am standing in the house my dad notices me, his eyes well up in tears, as I run to him and give him the biggest hug of my life.

My dad was crying, I was crying, I'm sure Jake was crying behind me... everyone was just a mess.

"I missed you Dad," I say through sobs.

He kisses the top of my head, "I missed you too Nicole!" and hugs me tighter.

I was finally home.
