Robert and Aaron jolted awake when they heard a high pitched barking, Robert realised that Alyssa's dog DJ was doing his normal wakeup call "Is there any point in me having an alarm clock?"
Aaron laid back down when he felt the throbbing in his head that felt like a ton of bricks was being dropped on his head "Not really. DJ has the wakeup call job covered" Aaron groaned as he rolled onto his front and buried his face into the pillow.
Robert looked at Aaron and smirked "Didn't you sleep well last night?" he asked because he knew that Aaron had been suffering constant nightmares for years.
"I have a headache and that dog isn't helping" Aaron answered.
Robert started to rub Aaron's bare back "Aww is my angel poorly?" Robert asked.
Aaron groaned with pleasure when he felt Robert massaging his back "Yeah, but that feels nice".
Robert smiled "You've been getting these headaches a lot lately, have you been worrying about stuff too much?" Robert asked as he massaged Aaron's skin.
"I'm always stressing about stuff, you should be used to that by now. At least my headaches are better than having panic attacks" Aaron turned his head and looked over his shoulder at Robert.
"I don't like it when you're not very well, I don't like it when my beautiful angel is stressed" Robert said as he laid down on his side so that he was facing Aaron.
Aaron smiled softly "Let me guess, you're gonna look after me today" Aaron rolled onto his side and looked at Robert.
"Err yeah, I'm gonna nurse my precious angel back to health" Robert said as he stroked Aaron's cheek with his thumb "You're still beautiful even when you're poorly" he smiled.
"You have to say that, you're married to me" Aaron scoffed.
"It's the truth. I love you so much, you always look beautiful to me" Robert said before he kissed Aaron.
"I need to take Alyssa to college and drop Liv off at Uni" Aaron groaned in annoyance and because of the sharp pain in his head.
"You're going to have some more sleep whilst I'll take them to where they need to be, okay? No arguments" Robert said firmly.
"I'm not gonna argue with that" Aaron smiled.
Robert kissed Aaron and stroked his hair before he got out of bed and had a shower. He then got dressed and gave Aaron one last parting kiss before he left the room and walked downstairs. He found Liv and Alyssa sat around the table in the kitchen and he walked over to the fridge to get a glass of orange juice.
"Where's Aaron?" Liv asked.
"He's not feeling a hundred percent so he's staying in bed for a bit longer" Robert answered as he made himself some toast.
"What's wrong with him?" Alyssa asked as she looked up from her laptop.
"He's got a bad headache again. He's been stressed a lot lately" Robert said as he sat down next to Alyssa.
"He never stops that's why. He really tries to be a superhero, but he can only take so much" Liv said as she ate her breakfast.
"He's my hero, but he does try his best all of the time" Robert smiled when he thought about how loyal and hard working Aaron was "I do wish that he'd give himself a break though".
"Can I go and see him?" Alyssa asked.
"Okay, just for a minute though" Robert answered.
Alyssa stood up and walked out of the room. She walked up the stairs and knocked on the door "Daddy? Can I come in?" she asked.
Aaron reached to the floor and grabbed his shirt, he pulled it on and rested his head on the pillow "Yeah, you can come in princess" Aaron answered.
Alyssa opened the door and walked in "Dad said that you've got another headache" Alyssa walked over to Aaron.
"Yeah, don't worry though" Aaron smiled.
"What are you stressing about?" Alyssa asked.
"I've just been having some bad dreams that's all. They scared me a bit, but I'm fine" Aaron reassured.
"And that's all?" Alyssa asked.
Aaron sat up "That's all, okay? Now get to college".
"Okay, love you daddy" Alyssa said as she walked to the door.
"I love you too princess" Aaron said before Alyssa closed the door. A single tear rolled down his cheek when he thought about what day it was.
Alyssa walked downstairs and found Robert on his laptop in the living room, she walked over to her father and peered over his shoulder "Whatcha doing?"
Robert banged the lid of his laptop shut "Flaming heck Al, you scared the living day lights out of me".
"Anything scares you, Granddad Cain scares you" Alyssa smirked.
"Uh yeah, he scares anyone" Robert said in his usual sarcastic voice.
"Should I get my Chucky doll?" Alyssa grinned.
"You do that and you're grounded. How's your dad?" Robert looked at Alyssa.
"He says that he's alright, but I don't believe him" Alyssa answered.
"Oi are we actually going today!" Liv shouted as she stomped in.
"Keep your voice down Aaron's trying to sleep" Robert hissed.
"It's a big house, he won't hear us" Liv said smugly.
"Exactly, there's an eco so keep your voice down. He's not well" Robert put his laptop at his side and stood up "Well do you want a lift then?" Robert grabbed his keys and walked to the door with Alyssa and Liv.
"Don't pick me up later, I need to stay to do some work. Just tell Aaron that I'll get a KFC on the way back" Liv said as she put her jacket on.
"Fine, come on" Robert huffed as he walked out of the house and they walked to his car.
After thirty very long minutes of driving and Robert singing along to Cher. They finally got Liv to Uni, Liv huffed as she hurried to get her seatbelt off and she jumped out of the car. She ran into the University. And breathed a sigh of relief that she had escaped the torture of her brother in law's music.
Liv then got to her class with only a few minutes to spear.
"Welcome to finial stage mechanists." The teacher sighed at the sight of his class he always dreaded coming in.
Liv did all that she could in these lessons as she wanted to become a mechanist so badly. She still had heaps of work to get done. When it finally came to lunch time she found herself sitting alone as always as she has not managed to make any friends so far. Then it happened Liv found herself staring at this fit boy it was as if she couldn't take her eyes of him.
"Oh how nice it is to be eye candy" He says sarcastically as he walked pasted Liv. Her face went red from the embracement. She was in disbelief that he scene her staring like an idiot. She attended the rest of her classes and went to the library after her classes. She stayed there for three hours but she did not realise that it was 8:50pm until she got a text from Aaron. She quickly shutdown her laptop and stuffed into her rucksack before she ran out of the doors and ran to the main entrance of the university. It was already dark by the time she got to KFC, she ate her dinner as she walked home. As she approached the last streetlamp on the she heard the sound of someone's terror stricken screams. She ran over to the alleyway and what she saw made her blood run cold...
"Somebody help me!" Lachlan screamed as men kicked him and punched him. A man wearing a black suit he raised his arm and Liv screeched when she heard a loud BANG! And Lachlan fell face first onto the concrete.
Liv cupped her hands over her mouth "Oh my god" Liv said but the murderer turned around and saw her stood at the end of the alleyway.
"Hiya eye candy, be a good girl and come here" the murderer said.
Liv backed up and started to run down the street. The man ran after her and grabbed her, he threw he into the boot of his car. Liv started to cry with fear but then she recognised the voice of her abductor. After what felt like forever the boot opened, the man grabbed Liv pulled her out and puts a bag over head. He dragged her into a warehouse and locked her in a room. Liv took the bag off of her head and looked around the area that she was trapped in. She started to panic she had left her rucksack at the alleyway so she did not have her phone to call the police or Aaron. She heard the voices of twelve grown men and the voice of her abductor.
"I have made a mistake on the job" The abductor said.
"How boss? What went down?" Asked another voice.
"I was successful in completing the murder of that Lachlan White lad. However... there may or may not have been a witness" The abductor said.
"WHAT!" all the men said in unison.
"And she may or may not be in the basement of the warehouse" The abductor said.
"Bloody hell boss. You've really screwed up this time!" One of the men shouted.
"Don't you think I blaming well know that! So shut your mouth before I smack it!" The abductor shouted at the men.
"Let's just kill her!" One of the men shouted.
"No, she could prove useful to us. If she refuses to join then we'll kill her" The abductor argued.
"You're on your own this time boss" one of the men said before he stormed out of the warehouse.
Liv heard the sound of boots hitting the metallic floor, she hurried over in to a corner and hugged her knees as she began to cry, she was hoping that her big brother Aaron would save her but then she heard a key in the door lock and it swung open...
