Chapter 11

Was it a coincidence that when I walked out that day it was darker, as if the sky had been swallowed by a cloud? As if a warning that something bad was about to happen? My parents had gotten security of course. I had a body guard following my every move and my parents hadn't left my side since the call. But on Christmas Eve though things had a turn for the worse.

We were on the way to Tree Hill, for a nice family Christmas. It was my moms plan actually. She thought a while away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood would help us forget about what was going on. That's how we ended up on our long road trip. We were all alone only 100 miles away from Tree Hill when my dad decided we would take a rest stop.

"I'll stay," I told them as they were stepping out of the car. Their suspicious looks burned a hole through my gaze. "Everything will be fine," I reassured them.

"Honey we are just trying to look out for you," My dad said extremely worried.

"Daddy we are across the country. They have no idea where we are anyway," I rambled. "And anyway I can protect my self," I added sternly.

"I have no doubt about that Rie, I've seen you Tie Bo up the place, but you don't know what you are dealing with," My mom warned. "They are the kind of people who are fine running people over to get what they want."

"And trying to break their knees," my dad added in.

"Trust me please," I begged, staring them down.

"Fine but if anything happens to you," my mom said.

"I know, I know it's my fault," I finished her sentence.

"Just stay in the car," my dad said as they finally left.

It was great at first to finally get a moment to my self. Then the quietness began to suffocate me. It was just too much. They were going to come and hurt me. Oh my God I was going to die. I had to go and find my parents.

As I opened the car the wind almost knocked me over. As I tried to steady my self, an arm quickly came to help.

"Oh thanks," I told the stranger. He was built with scruffy blonde hair.

"It's fine," he said. "I am Bear by the way," he added. "I am going to be you worst nightmare."
