I screamed, smashing my fist into the wall. I saw people look at me weird.

"COME ON, WE'RE IN A FREAKIN' HOSPITAL. NEVER SEEN ANYONE ANGRY BECAUSE THE GIRL THEY LOVE AND ONE OF THEIR BEST FRIEND'S ARE MOST LIKELY DEAD!?" I screamed and slid down the wall, tears falling from my eyes. After that, everyone looked away. I heard a round of loud gasps. I looked up to see Joe, Kevin and Frankie staring at me, open mouthed. I froze. They-I-.

"Nick?.." Joe chocked out. I nodded slightly as Frankie attacked me in a hug.
"I knew you were alive! I told them! They said you were dead. They said you didn't love me anymore. They said you hated me. I KNEW you were alive!" He stated. I wrapped my arms around my younger brother. Suddenly my head shot up to Kevin and Joe. They hadn't moved.

"You hate me, right?" I whispered. Joe stayed silent as I saw Kevin's face turn red.

"OF COURSE WE ARE! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?! WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! YOU LEFT ALL OF US. YOUR OWN FAMILY, NICK! MILEY! OF COURSE WE HATE YOU!" Kevin screamed. I felt more tears run down my face.

"YOU THINK I WANTED TO LEAVE!? I WAS 15, KEVIN! I NEEDED A FAMILY! You wanna know what happened. Alright, I'll tell you." I inhaled a deep, shaky breath.

"Here it goes"I muttered.

5 years ago- (1 week before Nick left):

I walked down the street, smiling. I suddenly stopped when I heard a scream. I started running down the street, towards the noise. I stopped as I saw three men, 20 years old maybe cornering a teenager. He was bleeding badly. They all held knives covered in blood. His blood, I assume.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" I screamed, purposely dropping my phone and running down to them. They turned to me and smirked.

"You think you can-" He suddenly stopped in mid sentence as the sound of police sirens went off. Their eyes widened as the sound got louder.

"Your lucky" One stated to the teenager as they all ran of. I ran to the guy.

"You ok?" He nodded.

"Yeah" I smiled running back to pick up my phone, turned off my police siren app and run back to him. He frowned.

"Police siren app. Set it for 10 seconds. Never know when it can be useful." I stated, smiling. He smiled.

"Thanks. Really. You have no idea how thankful I am." I shrugged.

"Anytime" He nodded.

"I'll keep that in mind" I heard him mutter.

"I'm Nick by the way"

"David"

2 days later:

A loud banging was heard on my door. I groaned, pushing off the covers and walking to the door. I opened the door and three people ran in.

"129 secured. 2 round back. This is serious." I heard one of them yell into... something as I closed the door, slightly in a daze. I rubbed my eyes tiredly, glancing at the clock. 4 am. SERIOUSLY!?

"Hello Nicholas" One stated, extending a hand.

"I'm Robert. We need to talk..."
