A/n: Thank you guys for all of the reviews. I'm glad you like the story. Sorry it took so long for this chapter but I have been busy with school and other things but here it is. Enjoy and please review!

The next couple weeks were a blur. Madison had gotten her job back and her and Ephram were dating. Ephram couldn't be happier. He came into the house but stopped when he heard Madison talking to someone on her cell phone, actually it was more like yelling.

"Why won't you ever leave me alone," cried Madison. She sounded like she was near tears.

Ephram couldn't hear the other end of the conversation but he knew whomever it was really starting to bug him.

"Your and asshole Brian! When I left home I left you too and you just have to accept that," screamed Madison and this time he could hear her slam the cell phone against the floor.

Ephram walked quietly into the living room and Madison looked up.

"Go away," she said quietly.

"Madison what's wrong? Who was on the phone," asked Ephram concernedly.

"Ephram listen I love you but please just leave me alone for now ok," she pleaded with him softly. Ephram closed his eyes and sighed. When he opened him he kissed Madison on the lips softly.

"I love you and if you want me to leave you alone I will. But promise if you want to talk I'll be up in my room," he whispered.

Madison just nodded and Ephram stood up and left. He didn't know why Madison was so upset but he knew whoever that Brian guy was he didn't like him.

Madison leaned against the wall and buried her head in her hands. Why did he always do this? Why was it that every time something great had happened, every time she thought that portion of her life was over it came back. Why did Brian have to screw this up again?

~Flashback~

18-year-old Madison frowned as she looked who was in her driveway. It had only been 2 months since she left her parents and ran away but things were great. She went to the door and sighed.

"What do you want Brian," she asked angrily.

"I'm here to tell you to come home," he said simply.

"And go back to dad no way," she screamed.

"Maddy.." he said using her old nickname.

"No! Stop it Brian! You're the one that kept me there for so long. I could have escaped and you, you kept me there," she said with tears in her eyes.

"Madison I love you. You know that I care about you its just you're so young. Just a year more and you can get out of the house," he said quietly.

"No! One more year and he'll kill me Brian! Don't you see? Just because he loves you doesn't mean he'll ever think twice about me. To him I'm just a mistake," she said with tears flowing freely down her face. With that said Madison slammed the door in her brother's face.
