The phone rang and Alan reached over the table and picked it up, it was Mitchell.

What the fuck is he calling me for?

"Hello?"

"Alan, this is Mitchell, look I know that you and I have never gotten along but I need to tell you that Raquel is not safe. I know you two broke up but Jason is planning on going into her house tonight and doing things to her. Once he told me that I quit his group and knew I had to call you. You are the only person who can stop him. I don't know exactly what he is planning on doing but he has a gun and is very drunk." Alan dropped the phone and then ran out the door. Even though he was afraid to see her again he knew that he could never forgive himself if she was ever hurt. He ran up the steps leading to the door way and rang the door bell and pounded on the door. Raquel came running and was shocked to shocked Alan standing at her doorway. He ran into the house and hugged her.

"Are you ok?"

"Alan, I am fine what is going on?"

"Mitchell called me and said you were not safe here. We need to leave!" but before he could convince her there was a loud crash coming from Raquel's room. The sound of foot prints could be heard coming down the stairs. They went for the door, but there was about five or six huge guys waiting with bats, and guns. They were trapped.

"So…you fucking bitch thought you could escape from me? No one ever escaped from me you fucking ho!" There was a shadow at the top of the stairs.

"Run!" Alan whispered into her ear and they ran into the other room and started dialing 911 but before they could tell them what was wrong the line went dead. The shadow that was now visible as Jason began to come closer. He had a gun in one hand and a knife in the other. He could not stand straight, but there was fire in his eyes.

They ran from him but he grabbed Alan by the arm and he jabbed his knife into Alan's leg and began to go after Raquel.

"You two never could stay away from each other. Even after he broke your heart you still come running to him don't you? You should have come with me that day in September! I am going to give you one last chance, come with me or die a very painful death…"

Alan went flying through the air and knocked the gun and the knife out of his hands. Raquel came towards him too but she was soon thrown off. She landed hard on the dagger that was still fresh with Alan's blood. She yelled in pain and soon Alan had been thrown off too. He went flying through the air and landed on the other side of the room covered in blood. Raquel was bleeding non stop from her back. She could not move she was stuck. She tried to crawl away but there was no use this was the end. She rolled over and faced Jason but looked over at Alan, who was trying his hardest to get up but couldn't his leg was still bleeding and his ribs were sticking out at odd angles.

"You have one more chance Raquel! Come with me or die!" Jason stood over Raquel with the gun and looked into her eyes. She looked away and yelled.

"No fucking way! I would rather die!" Jason looked taken a back. He didn't think she would say no. He didn't think he would have to actually kill her, but he was going to finally get back at Alan and kill his girlfriend right in front of him.

"Raquel your being stupid! Just do what he says!"

"Shut-up Alan!" Suddenly there was the sound of a gun in the air and Jason fell forward on his knees and onto Raquel. Soon there were police running over to the two of them and picking up Jason and calling for ambulances. One helped Alan up and over to Raquel. His eyes were filling with tears. She was now unconscious and not moving. He leaned over her and whispered in her ear.

"I am so sorry, this is entirely my fault. I love you!" Raquel began to move and she opened her eyes and looked at Alan.

"You came back, why did you come back?"

"I wasn't going to let you die. I love you and I couldn't let anything happen to you!"

Paramedics began to load Alan and Raquel into separate ambulances and they were sped off to the hospital. Both of them were sent into emergency surgery and were in critical condition by the next morning. Alan was the first to wake up and get back to as close to normal as he could. The first thing he asked about was Raquel. They told him they didn't know if she was going to make it. The doctors left Alan alone to think.

Please! Don't let her die! She does not disserve this! Please mother if you are up there please save her! I love her and I can't stand being without her! Please just let her be ok! I don't know what I will do without her!" Alan spent the next half hour begging and pleading to God, his mother, and all the angels in heave to save his girlfriend. It looked like they were not listening Alan began to cry once more, but his tears were stopped when someone entered the room. It was Raquel she limped into his room and walked to his bed. She wrapped her arms around him and started to cry.

"I thought I had lost you!" Raquel looked at Alan in the eyes.

"I was so scared and you came and saved me again, but why did you leave me in the first place?" She began to cry harder. The pain she had been feeling for the last few months was returning to her.

"I'm so sorry Raquel but I could see myself turning into my father right before my eyes. But now I know that was a mistake! I am sorry if I made you cry for one minute! You showed me love when I didn't know what it was and I am ready to spend my life returning that love. You are the best thing that has happened to me!" they were both holding each other and crying.

"What made you change your mind?"

"I got some guidance from someone I thought would never help me, but she ended up giving me help when I needed it the most." They lay down on Alan's bed and held each other. Finally they were back together and everything was put behind them. They were madly in love and that was never going to change.

"I love you." Raquel spoke softly to Alan.

"I love you too. I always have. I never thought this would come true." He grabbed her tightly and kissed her for the first time in months.
