The days passed with Gabby finding the same thing each time. Ally not at home at night, but come morning she would show up and go straight to bed only to leave once she wakes up.
Gabby was becoming worried about what was happening to her young friend. It was like the light that was once there was gone and in its place an empty shell that once was a lively girl full of life and energy. Since the club Ally had slowly spiraled out of control. Gabby was lost.
She walked along the beach as the sun was going down knowing that once she returned to the room Ally would be gone again, and would not return till morning. They had already been there a week longer than planned, how they were able to keep the room was thanks to Marc according to Ally the one time that she actually talked, which was about five days ago. Since then she had not spoken a word to Gabby, she was always running as soon as Marc called. Gabby had gotten to where she hated to hear the phone ring, it always meant the same thing, Marc was calling and Ally would run.
Gabby made her way back to her room and found Adam waiting outside the door. If it wasn't for him then she would have been absolutely lost. She didn't even hear or see anything out of Jason since Ally started to see Marc.
"Hey Gabby, want to get some thing to eat or go out," Adam asked as Gabby approached him. "No, I thought that we could just stay in and talk or something," Gabby replied opening her door so her and Adam could go in.
They order food and ate in silence. Adam watched as Gabby looked out the doors of the balcony. "Ok Gabby what's up, talk to me," Adam said moving around the table to sit beside Gabby.
"Its nothing really I don't want to burden you with my problems," Gabby says then looks away. She stands and begins to pace. "I mean…its Ally I don't understand what's with her now, she's not the same person that I came down here with. She's not the same person that I've known for the past 5 years. All this since we came down here," Ally said as she paced and through her arms in the air with frustration. "What do you mean, people don't change they just grow with each new experience," Adam says from where he sits.
"No Adam you don't understand. She comes to me for everything but since we came down here she's completely shut me out. We should have been gone a fucking week ago but yet here we are still fucking here," Gabby says as she turns to look at Adam. "Gabby maybe she just grew some," Adam says. "I knew you wouldn't fucking understand," Gabby says in frustration. "Then help me understand Gabby, tell me how I can help you," Adam says in a pleading tone to Gabby.
"How can you help, How can you help me? How about go get my fucking friend and bringing her back here so that we can go home," Gabby yells at Adam.
Adam stands and says, "I wish it was that easy but you don't understand what you're dealing with here. Don't you think that if I could have stopped it I would have, not just to save Ally, but to save you all this pain as well Gabby? I care about you and it kills me that my hands are tied." Adam shakes his head and looks at Gabby.
"Enough with this bullshit of my hands are tied shit, what have you gotten us into Adam. You need to tell me what the fuck is going on and tell me now," Gabby yells at Adam. "I would but I don't think you would understand nor be able to handle it," Adam says approaching Gabby.
"Number one I'm a big fucking girl I can handle anything. And number two you keep your ass over there and spill it Adam, enough with the double talk and circles, NOW!" Gabby screams.
Adam approaches Gabby and grabs her by the arms and says, "Fine you want to know the truth, do you believe evil. I'm talking evil that drips with the vilest things that nightmares are made from. Can you handle that truth, little girl," Adam shakes Gabby and peers directly into her eyes.
Gabby is a little shaken by Adam, but she is not afraid of him and she will not back down. "What the boogie man Adam is that what you mean, no it doesn't fucking scare me. Hell I know that in life you only live once, so what are you saying Adam," Gabby says.
"Marc is danger Gabby and right now you should be running, running far from him. Hell you should have left the first day you met Jason. They're both evil Gabby, they do things that I dare not speak of," Adam says to Gabby. "And so you're part of it, after all weren't you with Jason at the club. It was you that introduced us to Marc and begged me to go. So what, should I run from you too," Gabby fires back at Adam. "Gabby you know better than that I would never do anything to hurt you, but yes I am involved with them, but I never meant for you or Ally to get hurt, I swear Gabby you have to believe me," Adam says.
"If you didn't want Ally to be hurt, you could have just left and let us walk away," Gabby states. "You don't understand, it was to late when I came along. Remember you met Jason first, he was waiting mainly for Ally, I don't know why she was chosen but she was. I only intervened because I thought it would save you," Adam replies. "But you begged me to go to that damn club, you could have told us to leave," Gabby says. "I know, don't you think I don't know that. Call me stupid but when I first seen you I knew it was you, I mean you were the only one for me. I let my own feelings blind me from my original purpose which was to save you and to SAVE ALLY DAMNIT, I'M SORRY," Adam yells to get his point across.
"Look Gabby if I could turn back time and change it I would, but god help I can't," Adam says as he runs his hand through his hair and walks over to the glass balcony doors and looks out.
"I understand you wanting to be with me but was it so important that Ally had to be sacrificed to get it," Gabby says in a much quieter tone. "No nothing was worth Ally being sacrificed, but I swear I will figure out a way to help you get her back. I just want you to understand not to get your hopes up. I've seen it before, and Ally is to far sucked in."
"Please Adam just tell me the truth, if you care about me at all you'll tell me everything that you know," Gabby states looking Adam in the eye, pinning him with her gaze. "Ok I'll tell you what I know, but promise me that afterwards you will not make a move without coming to me first," Adam stresses, "Ok, I promise," Gabby says as she sits back down at the table as Adam begins to tell her his story.
Adam goes on to tell Gabby about the Ministry and everything. He pours his soul out about all that he has seen and done. He then proceeds to tell her about Jason and his living dolls, once Marc finishes with a girl he gives them to Jason as a play toy or if the girl greatly displeases him he hands them over to Jason.
"You see I'm not happy that I've killed for Marc. As far as the girls go I normally picked them, but recently it's been Jason. Sometimes if Marc or Jason went too far I'd have to clean up the mess," Adam explains. "So you mean to tell me that after Marc is done with her he plans to give her to that psycho Jason," Gabby says horrified. "No it's not like that with Ally, Marc he plans…he plans…. he plans to make her his bride. He won't let her go but one way," Adams says as he looks at Gabby. "Ok and then what way is that," Gabby asks. Adam replies with one word, "Death."
Gabby had a hard time digesting what Adam had just said. The silence stretched out across the room for what felt like forever before Gabby spoke. "Maybe in the morning when she comes home I can try to talk to her, I have to try something I can't lose her," Gabby says as she begins to cry. Adam crosses the room to Gabby and pulls her into his arms and sits on the bed holding her until she cried herself asleep.
"I promise Gabby that I'll get your friend back no matter what, I love you," Adam whispers to Gabby in the darkening room as he sits holding Gabby on the bed.
Gabby awakes the next morning to see Ally was lying across from her sleeping soundly. Gabby gets up and heads into the shower thinking about how to get Ally talking when she wakes up and hopefully the phone want ring before then.
Ally awoke around mid day to see Gabby sitting in a chair on the balcony. Gabby turns to see Ally getting up and says, "Hey Ally I was thinking that today could be our day since you've been mia for awhile maybe go do something or stay in and veg out." "Um well I don't know I may already have plans," Ally replied as she came out on the balcony. Gabby thought this is good at least now she's talking and the phone hasn't rang. Well of course it wouldn't ring she had unplugged it.
"But Ally it's been forever since we had a day of just us girls," Gabby states to her friend. "Well tell you what lets stay in and hang that away if I get a call I can go," Ally says looking at her friend. Gabby looks back at her friend in the eyes and shivers all she sees is emptiness. "Ok sounds like a plan, what do you want to do. You look hungry we should eat," Gabby says. "Sure, well you order and I'll go take a shower," Ally says as she rises and heads to the bathroom. "Pizza," Gabby asks going in and picking up the phone. "Yeah sure," Ally calls as she shuts the door. Gabby remembers to plug the phone up after Ally is in the bathroom and then calls.
Gabby calls and then goes into the bathroom to ask Ally what she wants on her pizza. She opens the door and is shocked at what she sees. Gabby looks at Ally's back that is covered in bruises and whelps. Ally spins around and glares at her friend. Gabby looks and notices bite marks and bruise on her breasts and hips. Pretty much every part of Ally's body had some sort of mark.
"GET OUT, GET OUT," Ally screams at Gabby. Gabby doesn't move, the anger in her builds and rolls through her body like lava. "What the fuck is that! I can't believe you leave every night to get this shit. Oh no we are leaving today, done, outy," Gabby growls out at her friend and then storms from the bathroom grabbing their suitcases. Ally quickly dresses and follows after Gabby.
"Oh no I am not leaving, you don't understand," Ally says. "Don't understand what that this man is beating the shit out of you," Gabby yells. "What no you have it all wrong Marc loves me, this is how a man shows he loves a woman," Ally yells back at her friend. "What the fuck fed you that bullshit," Gabby yells. "Oh Marc was so right he said you wouldn't understand, he said you would want to keep us apart," Ally yells back at Gabby. "Fuck Marc, are you on crack, that is not how someone shows love, we are so fucking gone today, I don't care if I have to strap you on my back, we're leaving Alexandra," Gabby yells. "Fuck you, I'm not going any where," Ally yells. Before Gabby can respond there is a knock at the door.
Gabby goes and yanks the door open, "Adam this is not the time for you to be here," and then tries to shut the door but Adam stops her and enters the room any way. "What is going on Gabby," Adam asks as he looks from her to Ally. "We're leaving, if you must know. Your boss is beating her. So we're out, done," Gabby says angrily at Adam. "I said I am not leaving Gabriella, and you can't make me unless you're going to get your whore boy to do it for me," Ally screams at Gabby and Adam. "Whore boy at least whore boy doesn't hit," Gabby throws back at Ally. "Oh you're going to defend him, but yet put Marc down, OH HOW IRONIC," Ally states. "What the fuck do you mean ironic," Gabby says. "Did he tell you, tell you that he works for the same man that you're degrading, if hands are dirty Marc's isn't the only one, is it Adam," Ally states eyeballing Adam. "Ally, Gabby calm down," Adam tries to intervene. "Calm down, do you hear what this girl is saying, what do you mean hands is dirty, Adam already filled me in, and that's why we are leaving," Gabby yells at Ally. "Oh so he filled you in on how they share the women, oh so you're next maybe you like that sort of thing," Ally yells at Gabby. "Alexandra that is enough, can't you see that all Gabby is doing is trying to help you, I would never do that to her," Adam said as he looks at Ally. "Oh so you're trying to flip the script I know what your part is," Ally says to Adam and then turns to Gabby and says, "So your precious whore boy is no better than Marc."
"I know what Adam has done and has did and what he needed to do to get by," Gabby threw at Ally as she crossed the room to come face to face with Ally. "Oh I get it you're just jealous because Adam doesn't show you he loves you bitch and Marc does, you are so fucking sad Gabriella," Ally spit out with venom dripping from her voice. "Sad, what's sad is that shit on your fucking body. You're just so fucking innocent that some times you can be really stupid," Gabby said in a low anger filled tone. "That's it Crabby Gabby say what you want, in the end I know the truth. You are just jealous because I can get a man who is passionate and I don't have to sleep around like a whore in heat, because all men consider me frigid," Ally says to Gabby in a mocking tone. "You stupid little bitch, frigid! What the fuck do you know about frigid, and second most you seem to be Marc's whore that he can beat up on every time right," Gabby explodes at Ally. "Gabby Gabby if only you knew true love you wouldn't be so crabby," Ally says as she rubs Gabby's hair. Gabby smacks her hand away and says, "Love, you don't know shit about love little girl." "At least I don't have to whore my ass to achieve it," Ally says in a mocking tone.
Before Gabby knew what she was doing she swung out and smacked Ally right across the face, "WAKE THE FUCK UP." Ally holds her face with tears pouring down her cheeks and looks at Adam then at Gabby, "How could you Gabby, I loved you like a sister," Ally says in a quite tone as she runs out of the room and away from the hotel. Ally thought to herself what do I do now where do I go from here. Then the answer hits her all to clear, Marc.
