Present Day

"Hey baby, you awake?" His warm breath tickled my neck, I shivered.

"Yeah." I said quickly, jumping up from the hotel bed and putting my vest and underwear on.

"What's wrong?" The sleazy male voice behind me asked.

"Nothing." I shook my head, but everything was wrong. I stank of vodka and the sleazy man's cigars. I haven't seen my best friend in 2 months. I now have sex with random guys out of boredom. I hate my life.

Last night was the MTV movie awards, and I picked up the first guy I saw, who was a douche bag. I badly needed a shower and him out of my bed, but just as I was about to turn around and tell him, there was a knock on the door.

I sighed, "Put some clothes on." I frowned at his naked form on my bed, and walked to open the door.

It was the last person on earth I thought it would be. It was someone who was supposed to be in Germany recording an album.

It was my best friend.

"Tom?" I yelled, my eyes wide with horror.

Tom's bright smile faded when he looked down to see my black underwear. He's cheeks flushed red.

"Ehh.. Hey Scar. Do you always answer your door in-

He didn't finish his sentence, his eyes had roamed over my head, and found the man in my bed. My heart raced and Tom's eyes turned black, his jaw hardened and he dropped his bag on the floor.

"Tom I-

He quickly shoved me to the side and ran into the room,

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He yelled at the man.

"Woah dude, what's your problem, man?" He yelled back, finally covering himself up.

"You're my problem, man. Did you touch her?" Tom screamed, pointing to me.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Of course I did, we had sex."

The man was an idiot.

Tom launched at him as soon as the words left his mouth. He punched him in the face repeatedly, and I ran over hurriedly to stop him before he killed him.

"Tom!" I yelled, tugging on his arm helplessly. It was useless, he was too strong and too angry.

"Tom, stop, please!" I screamed, practically jumping on his back.

It was all deja-vu

2005

"Tom?" Her voice was raspy, like she'd been crying.

"Scar? What's the matter?" My heart began to race.

"I-I'm in trouble, Tom.."

I jumped off my seat on the couch, carelessly throwing my guitar down,

"Where are you? What's going on?" I quickly threw the words together, grabbing my jacket and heading for the door.

Scarlett had left for her date with Chris an hour ago. I knew I shouldn't of trusted that guy. My blood boiled at the thought of him hurting her.

"I-I don't know. I think I'm at the beach. He-he left and I… I'm scared, Tomi." She was whispering, her voice was small and I could barely hear her. I cursed myself and I ran down the street.

"Don't worry, Scar. I'm coming for you. Just stay on the phone, okay?"

"Okay." She sniffed.

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" I asked, trying my hardest to remain calm. All I really wanted to do was kill everyone around me.

I could hear her sniff again,

"He wouldn't tell me where he was taking me and…and he was trying to...and.. and I told him to stop." She was getting worked up.

I ran around a corner, it was dark, but I could see the beach.

"Did he hurt you?" I asked through gritted teeth.

She was silent for a moment, all I could hear were the waves crashing, and my heart beating quickly.

"I'm fine."

It was a lie.

I found her curled up in the sand, her clothes were ripped, her eyes were frightened, she was shaking.

I promised myself this would never happen again. For as long as she lived.

Sorry its so short! But I decided I'll post short chapters regularly, rather than long chapters every month! Haha.

Please review!
