Chapter 4

"Matt, Molly. Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Willow repeated, tears flowing down her face. Matt spun around and saw the girl he loved looking completely and utterly heartbroken "I trusted you Matt" Willow yelled, a wave of nausea sweeping over her "but right now I can't even bare to look at you. And as for you Molly, I thought you were my friend" as she turned to head back inside, she heard Matt begging "please let me explain Willow. I love you." Willow shook her head, "no you don't. If you did, you wouldn't be out here kissing her" she whispered before running back inside, leaving Matt shocked as he chased after her and Molly full of glee, a twisted smile spreading across her face. She took out her cell and messaged the man she was now working with:

Phase one completed. Awaiting instructions for phase two.

How could he do this to me? Willow thought to herself I thought that he loved me. I know that I loved him. Her eyes were stinging from the tears that were flowing over her tanned skin like streams. Her vision blurred from the mascara running into her eyes, she didn't realise that she had ran into someone who had grabbed hold of her. "Let me go. Let me go" she sobbed but the person didn't let go. Instead they put their arms around her and pulled her close to them into a hug, until a familiar voice whispered "Wills, what's going on darlin'? What's with the tears?" she sobbed into the chest of her captor "Matt and Molly. Kissing, outside, caught them together" Willow managed to tell her captor "Jeff, let me go please. I feel sick" "come on honey. I'll take you to your room." Jeff said softly. As he led her away, he signalled to Trish and Adam, who had come over to see what the matter was, not to let Matt or Molly anywhere near her and to tell Amy what had happened.

The walk to the room seemed longer than Willow remembered, the events of the last 10 minutes kept playing over and over in her head. When they got to the room, willow collapsed on the bed and dissolved into a fit of tears. She had never felt like this before in her life. Not even when Mike and Grace had died I had Matt when they died though she thought to herself. Willow felt the bed dip slightly, and looked up. Jeff was with her and was holding his arms open as if inviting her for a cuddle. Jeff had always thought of Willow as his long lost little sister and it pained him to see her hurting this much, even it was his own brother who had caused this pain. "Willow, what on earth is going on? You said something about Matt and Molly" he began to say, "I caught them outside. Kissing" she replied, a little breathless. Even hearing those names was enough to make her feel ill. Willow sat up and crawled into Jeff's open arms, where he automatically put them around her. "My brother was always an idiot when it comes to girls" Jeff said jokingly, in an attempt to cheer Willow up, it must have worked a little bit as she gave out a half giggle, half sob. "I just feel really stupid right now because I actually love him" Willow said quietly "oh darlin'. You love him?" Jeff asked, caught off guard by her confession "yes I do Jeff. That song that I sung for you and Trish earlier describes exactly how I feel about him" she replied "but he didn't hear a word of it coz he was busy kissing her." Jeff stayed with Willow until she fell asleep and headed back down to the wedding party, unaware that someone had been watching them all this time.

"Where is she?" Matt yelled at Trish, Amy and Adam "I need to see her. I need to explain what happened outside was not what it looked like" "Matt, calm down and tell us exactly what happened" Trish said calmly, she could the hurt in his eyes. "Wills was about to sing, when Molly whispered that we needed to talk outside immediately" he started to say, frustration showing in his tone "so I followed her outside, I thought that she was gonna tell me something about Eric. I dunno why I followed her, but I did, and I know I can't take it back. But Molly told me that she was in love with me, has been since we first met all those years ago. I had my back to the building, Molly must have seen Willow and, well, you know the rest. Molly kissed me, Willow saw and now I've lost the girl I love and was gonna spend the rest of my life with. She won't even talk to me, give me a chance to explain." a single tear rolled down his face. Trish's face had a look of anger on it. "I'm gonna kill her" she snarled "that bitch has ruined my wedding" and she stormed off to find Molly. Amy was crying silently at the betrayal that her daughter had just encountered, and was leaning on Adam for support. It was then she realised that she loved him, but she didn't have the courage to tell him how she felt just yet.

Molly was still outside, the twisted smile remained on her face from earlier, as she had just received the message that she had been waiting for all night. The message was from him:

Congratulations blackbird. Phase two will be carried out tonight. Go to your room. I will contact you there with further instructions.

As she made her way back towards the building, she saw a very angry Trish coming towards her. "Trish, please let me explain..." she began to say, but couldn't finish as Trish's fist hit her in the face, nearly breaking her nose. "You bitch. How could you do that to Willow, after everything she's been through in the last few months?" Trish yelled "You knew how happy she was with Matt and now you've ruined their relationship" "Trish I'm sorry but I love Matt and have done ever since we met" Molly yelled back "what did you expect me to do? Just keep quiet and let them play happy families?" "Well yeah, actually Molly we did" it wasn't Trish who spoke, but Jeff who came and stood by his new wife "what you did was lower than anything that Eric ever did. Willow was your friend and you hurt and betrayed her in the worst possible way" he added, a small crowd of people starting to make their way outside to see what was going on. This is perfect thought Molly, as she blocked out the yelling from Trish, it would have been the perfect time to announce his return, but no, I think I will let them suffer a while longer. He needs her to complete our plan. "Molly, just leave" Trish said threateningly "I will Trish. This wedding was the most horrendous thing I've ever been too" Molly didn't even have time to digest what she had just said as Trish's fist collided with the other side of her face, "but before I do go, you might wanna go check on Willow" she teased before walking off, checking her cell as she did. It flashed that she had one new message, as she opened it she smiled, wincing in pain from where Trish had hit her, as she read the message:

I have Willow. Meet me in 10 minutes. I think a small celebration is in order.

Trish, Jeff, Amy, Adam and Matt all ran up to the room where Willow was supposed to be sleeping. What they found would haunt them for the next 6 months. The door had been forced open, the room had been completely turned over, it was a mess. They found dress, in a crumpled heap in the corner, her cell still on the bedside table. As they called out Willows name, Matt found the piece of paper. His heart broke and the tears flowed as read it out for everyone to hear:

You will never see her again.
