A/N: I know, I know. Another story? I couldn't help it, and I'm gonna do this one like I am Loyalty and Love, write a chapter ahead, but only post the one I have finished. Anyways, hope you guys like this and please review.


The only thing I could hear was the sound of my heavy breathing and the frantic, yet oddly rhythmic thump, thump, thump of my heart in my chest while I hid in a ditch as the police zoomed by. The street lights of Kirikagure illuminated parts of the street, but thankfully the rays of light didn't reach where I was hiding.

After a while of silence I got ready to crawl out of the ditch just as I heard something clank behind me and screamed in shock as I whirled around after getting to my feet to see a dog slamming itself against the chainlength fence behind me and starting to bark loudly.

"Stupid dog."

I mumbled as I let my hand fall from my chest where I could feel my hert beating erratically, more than it had been before. I turned and looked around again before climbing out of the ditch and taking off down the street.

As I ran, I passed under street lights. I frowned as I glanced down at myself in the light. My once white Asking Alexandria shirt was now soaked with blood and covered in dirt from the ditch I'd just crawled out of. My jeans were ripped and I felt blood running down my leg from the shards of glass that had gotten lodged in it during my fight. By no means was that the only wound I had, but it was the only one I was going to focus on at the moment. I stopped and leaned up against one of the buildings, trying to catch my breath.

I heard the police sirens and saw the blue and red flashing lights bounce off the glass of one of the shops I was standing infront of.

"Dammit!"

I cursed before pushing off from the wall I'd been leaning against to rest and started running again. I had to get away. If they caught me they wouldn't even bother to listen to reason since I was covered in his blood and I was the last person to see him alive.

I hate feeling like this
I'm so tired of trying to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of
Is waking to you

I wasn't going to let him keep treating me like he had. I'd gotten enough bruises and scars from him, all the while hoping he'd realize what he was doing and stop, but he didn't. I didn't leave because I thought he loved me, but I was a fool. I'd found out the hard way that love simply does not exist.

Tell me that you will listen
Your touch is what I'm missing
And the more I hide I realize, I'm slowly losing you.

I fought back again tonight and he threw me into the window. When I'd looked back up at him I knew he wasn't going to be satisfied with simple drunken kisses and pinning me down.

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

He left me with no choice. I should have left, but I was a fool and now I couldn't stay here anymore. There was only one place I could go now, I just hated the fact I was bringing all this to them, but I had nowhere else to go. I pushed myself harder as it started to pour. I had no other choice.


-Deidara-

"Hey Deidara, you heard anything from your cousin?"

Itachi asked as we brought all the gear up to my apartment.

"No. I haven't heard from her in almost three years."

I said sadly. I knew she left to try and make it on her own, but the sudden lack of communication from her worried me. There was also the fact that my sister had that accident two years ago she didn't know about.

"I'm sure she's fine, you know how teenagers are."

He said as Sasori opened the door for us before going back to the couch while Itachi and I finished setting up. The band often practiced at my place because it was the biggest and was the closest to the music store.

"Yeah."

I said solemnly, but i had this nagging feeling that something was wrong.

"Enough talk. It's almost one, let's practice."

Pein said as he walked into the room with Konan behind him. We always practiced at weird times, but none of us minded.

We all moved around the instruments and got to our places. Sasori was on the drums, Itachi and Konan were on base and back-up vocals, I had a guitar in my hands and Pein was standing next to the microphone. Sasori counted us in and we started practicing. We managed to go through our entire song list and start the last one just as it was nearing four in the morning.

"I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms..."

I was about to go into the next part of the song when I heard something outside my door.

"Deidara."

Pein said, upset I stopped mid-song. I nodded and was about to start practicing again when the sound came again. I set my guitar on its stand before going over to the door. I opened it and froze.

"Who is it Deidara?"

I heard Sasori ask from inside, but couldn't bring myself to answer as I looked at my little cousin leaning against the doorframe covered in blood and bruises. Her hair was matted and I could see it had been forecefully hacked off at her shoulders. But what got me most, was the fact that her light blue eyes that used to be so full of fire were now dull and lifeless.

"Skye."

I said in disbelief, almost not believing it was really her.

"Dei..."

She said in a whisper so quiet that I almost didn't hear her, but I did and there was no doubt it was her.

"What happened?"

I asked before I saw her fall forward.

"Skye!"

I cried before diving and catching her before she could hit the ground. I noticed she was soaking wet and burning up and started to panic.

"Guys, help!"
