A/N: I want to thank everyone for the reviews. I know my updates haven't been so often but I have things going on. Anyways I am still updating this story, just be patient. After this chapter it might be sunday before another one hits because I'm going to a Martina McBride concert friday. Heres the new chap.

A few weeks passed and the girls were released to go back to campass with just a few bumps, and bruises showing. Kiea still had a wrap around her wrist, and Jennifer was still limpping a little but there was nothing major to really see. John, Randy, Dave, Adam,Chris M.,Carlito, and Rey all took vacation to stay with the girls for a while till things cooled off and till the trial was over.

Kiea was walking back to her dorm from class and could feel people staring a hole through her, but brushed it off as best as she could. She entered her dorm where everyone was sitting and threw her bag on her bed.

"Hey your back early." Carlito said as she took her shoes off.

"I couldn't take all the thats her looks."

All the guys looked at each other as she grabbed her sweats and a towel and headed for the bathroom.

"She's withdrawling herself from us." John said.

"She just needs time. Look at everything she's been through." Dave said.

"Yeah dude, they still haven't found Levi's body yet, and then the trials coming up. It's gotta be hard and scary for her." Carlito said looking out the window for Jennifer since she was due home anytime.

John put his head in his hands. He was having trouble with his feeling for Kiea at the moment, and was confused.

"Ahhh!"

All the guys heard the scream and stood up rushing to the bathroom where Kiea's screams could still be heard.

When they walked through the door Kiea was trying to get out.

Dave grabbed her arms so she could see she was safe as she struggled to get away. She stopped when she saw Dave's face and collapsed in his arms. They all walked into the bathroom and written on the mirror was a big message.

'Think your safe? Turn around'

When the guys turned around there hangging from the pipes was Levi's dead body.

Cops piled in and out of the bathroom that day taking pictures and fingerprints, the corner brought Levi's body out, and Kiea didn't even look at it she just kept looking forward. Dave sat with her while the others talked to the Chief.

"They got away!" Randy screamed " How could that have happened?"

"Not both, just Nealson. He killed Miles and left him and another officer that he killed in his cell. He took the officer's clothes, and keys, noone saw him pass by security or even thought to look." The cheif took a deep breath "We are looking everywhere, and a police officer will be on guard 24/7 till he's apprehended. The girls will be safe."

"Yeah Right." Kiea said as she got up "We're not safe! He got out on your watch, and the fact that he's a cop wont exactly make it easy for you to catch him.He's to smart for that!" Kiea stormed off.

John ran after her and caught up with her outside. He grabbed her arm and turned her around " Where are you going?"

"This is my fight John, and I'm going to finish it." She pulled her hand away and walked from him. John stood watching her till Dave,Adam, and Rey came out.

"I don't want you to get hurt!" John screamed after her.

"Where is she going?" Rey asked.

John shrugged his shoulders and looked down " I don't think she wants anyone to follow her."

Adam pulled him around " You just left her go?"

"I'm just a guy Adam, okay. I don't know what to do for her in a situation like this. I've never been in a situation like this."

Dave shook his head " It's easy John, you give up whatever you have to give for her, and be there. If she wants someone to be there to let out her frustration on then you be there. This isn't about you, it's about her, and if you can't be that person for her then you need to just stay out of the way."

Dave took off in the direction Kiea went and began to look for her.

Rey put his hand on John's shoulder " Dave's right man."

John nodded " I think his feeling are more for her than mine are. I can't handle this kind of pressure."

"There's nothing wrong with that. Friends is better than nothing at all."

John nodded.

Dave found Kiea sitting at a table in the courtyard she wasn't crying just staring at the sky.

" Are you okay?" Dave asked.

"No. No matter what happens this is never gonna end. It's just gonna keep going till it eats me up and spits me out. Nealson escaped for a reason, and I know what it is."

"What are you gonna do?"

"Wait."

Dave sat down beside her " This probably isn't the right time for this... but Kiea,... I like you a lot. I know your with John right now, and that..."

"I don't think I'm with John anymore. I have a very drama filled life right now, and I don't think he wants to be a part of that."

"I do." Dave said causing her to face him. "I want to help you, and I will protect you."

"Heard that before."

"I mean it." Dave pulled her towards him, and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.

Kiea smiled when they pulled apart " This is gonna be a bumpy ride."

"I'll be there everystep of the way."
