As I open my front door a pair of evil eyes met mine . They were the eyes that had haunted my nightmares since indias death . ! "hello texas ,remeber me ? "he said his icy breath hitting my face .Before I could scream he had grabbed me . One of his hands was over my mouth the other round my waist lifting back into my flat. He sat me on a chair and tied my hands behinf my back ! I looked into his eyes! "why are you doing this ? " I Said between sobs . "I'm doing this because you were the prize I never won , and I always win ''. " you won't get away with it , dodgers waiting for me in the dog and if I don't turn up he'll know somethings wrong" I said with an ounce of hope in my voice . He cocked his head to the side "don't worry my dear Texas it will all be over my then "

I said between sobs "I can't lose you Tex , I love you plezz wake up , I love you so much plez you can't die" as I kissed her forehead her eyes started to flicker open ! Relief washed through me .

Texas had been asleep since she arrived at the hospital. Her words rushing through my head . What if she only said it because I save her . As I walked in the room a smile appeared on my face . I walked towards her bed and sat sat doen on the chair beside it . Grabbing her hand in both of mine. " so the ladies man dodger savage is in love with me is he "I looked up my smile stretching across my face. "yes he is " I said quietly to her . Her smile widened "well I guess I'm in love with you too " my heart filled . I slowly lent down and kissed her lips softly . I could of stayed like that forever but I pulled away . " I thought I was going to lose you " I said shakingly a tear threatining to fall . " but you didn't " she said wiping away the tear . Just then the door opened . I was Leanne . " am do you want me to get you anything from you flat or the shop love " I said . As she began to list off what she needed I couldn't help but think how lucky I was .

As I walked towards the shop after going to the flat to get her things I heard some one calling my name " dodge dodger ! " it was dad I turn round to him as he jooged over . " how are your , how is Texas " he said concern in his voice . " how am I " I began agrly the anger leaving my. Voice in ever word " my girlfriend was almost murdered last night how do you think I am " a look of pure shock appeared on his face " girlfriend " he said a smile crereping onto his lips . "has little dodg got himself a girlfriend . I could feel the heat rush to my face "yes I love her so don't try and make me dump " I said forcefully . " you lov love her, I won't do anything of the sort " he said shock appearing again on his face. " I have to go to the shop to get stuff for Texas ill talk to you later " I said before leaving

One Leanne had left to let me get some rest there was another knock on the door " come in " I said calmly the last people I though I would see walked in . Will ,Dirk ,Libby and Denise. Walked though the door . I jumped out of bed and rushed over to will " I'm sorry I'm so sorry , I know you didn't kill linsey. , I should of belived you , I just wanted someone to blame , I'm so sorry and I understand if you can't forgive me " I said running out of breath . " its ok I forgive you " " yeah love we all do " said Dirk relief spreading through me . "I'm so sorry I whispered into wills ear as I hugged him . There was another Knock at the door .

When the door opened I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. My family was crowded in the room and Texas and Texas was huging will . " what's going on " I asked confused "you should be in bed resting " I said as I walked over to Texas leading her to her bed , sitting down on the chair beside it her hand in mine . "well we thought that we should come see Texas to see she was ok " said Dirk cautiously . " yeah were family. And we stick together and since Texas could be family one day we thought " said Libby , her sentence trailing off once she saw the colour of my cheeks . "thanks for coming " said Texas . Once they had all left I Bent down and kissed her lips softly but soon it became more passionit . As I looked into her eyes I knew she was the one for me . " I love you " she said " I love you too , so much " I said before kissing her again .
