Hey, there! Thanks for the reviews! I was reading 'Unfixable' by Alone in the Solitude of Texas, and I thought, 'You know, I have a ton of one-shot/ songfics I've been planning, and I'm not gonna wait to write them anymore!!! Lol, so thanks for the inspiration Texas!:)

I hope you all like the last half!

Do you feel like a man

When you push her around?

Do you feel better now

As she falls to the ground?

"Face Down"

by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

"Get back here! Get back here you filthy little-"

Maddie slammed the door shut and threw the locked over before he could finish the rest. Her face was still stinging from the slap, and bruises were already forming on her arm where he had grabbed her. She could still smell the alcohol that he reeked with. She buried her face into the pillow and sobbed as she tried to block out the sounds of him ramming on the door.

Her eye was throbbing where he had hit her, and her lip had spilt when it hit against her teeth with the slap.

Her backbone started to throb from where he had kicked her when she lost her footing trying to get away.

He wasn't too happy that she lost her job.

Her step dad had married her mom when she was only two years old. She never knew another father. He was a great dad, and Maddie loved him. But that was before the fighting… the drinking… before her mom filed for a divorce.

The door shook under his blows. Maddie lay curled on her bed, sobbing. She was absolutely terrified. Her brother and grandma were shopping. Mom had left two days ago, and didn't come back.

Maddie knew she should call 911. She needed help. He was going to get in. Maddie sobbed harder. She couldn't call the police. They would split her family up. Her granny would go to a nursing home, and her brother… it seemed like nobody ever wanted two foster children.

She needed some one. Her dad was beating harder on the door. Panicked sobs filled her as she pushed herself as far away from the door as possible. She needed some one. She wasn't going to make it. She just wished she could tell her brother and granny that she loved them. She wished she could thank Carey for everything. She wished she could give Zack and Cody one last hug, and she wished she could tell London how great of a friend she really was. And Esteban… she just wished she could talk to Esteban one last time.

So far away

I wish you were here

Before it's too late

This could all disappear

Just then a faint ringing sound came from the foot of her bed. Trembling, Maddie sat up and looked at her cell phone. She closed her eyes. Thank you.

Slowly, she opened it. "Esteban,' she said softly, but was quickly interrupted.

"Maddie, are you okay? Look, I'm gonna try to find you another job, you know one that would pay you enough so you could rent-"

Maddie took a deep, trembling breath as the door bended precariously. She had to tell him. "Esteban." She said a little more firmly.

Esteban stopped dead.

"Maddie is something wrong?" He asked with such concern in his voice, that her tears started to fall all over again, her control over them gone, but her calm still there.

"Maddie what's wrong?" He asked again, obviously listening intently.

"Esteban,' she whispered through her tears. 'I'm not going to see you again, and I just want you to-"

"Maddie, wait, what's going on? What are talking about? Where are you? What's that noise?"

"I-" Maddie plowed on, forcing herself to talk through her tears, as the door thumped in its frame. "I'm- I'm going to die."

She expected to feel panic at these words. But she didn't. In fact the sense of peace she had gotten by acknowledging this fact was so consuming now, that she stopped crying.

"Maddie-"

"I love you." She whispered, and closed her phone. It was to late to call 911. They would never get there in time.

The hinges of the door were rattling furiously, and Maddie prayed. She prayed for her family, she thanked God for her friends, and she prayed that he would have mercy on her dad's soul, and claim him. She had had a great life and filled with blessings. She asked for forgiveness for not always seeing that. And she prayed that he would help her… that her passing would be easy… She smiled sadly. And that he'd tell Mr. Moseby she was coming for her check.

Before the doors close

And it comes to an end

With you by my side

I will fight and defend

I'll fight and defend

"Maddie?! Maddie!" Esteban yelled into his cell phone before throwing it onto the seat next to him, and yanking the wheel of his car right, headed back in the opposite direction.

"Please God, please, please, please, no. Please-" He prayed frantically, as the speedometer quickly climbed eighty-five. At her home… she had to be at home. His brain felt numb, and yet his thoughts were going a million miles a minute. This couldn't be happening. He had to get there. He had to stop this.

Keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

Just stay strong

Cause you know I'm here for you

I'm here for you

He flew past houses, and almost fainted with relief when he spotted Fenway park out of his right window.

Yanking his steering wheel to the left, he flew up over the curb out side of the apartment complex. Slamming on the brakes, he threw the gear into park, jumped out of the car, and ran up the steps.

He tried to open the door, but it buzzed loudly in protest. Barely even thinking, Esteban bent down and, picking up a flowerpot, threw it at the window. The glass shattered, Esteban quickly jumped through, and mounted the steps running. She said she could see Fenway park through her window.

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So, keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

Maddie held her breath as the lock broke on her door. She closed her eyes. He would twist the handle… and it would soon be over.

She heard loud bang, more shouting, and then another bang on the wall next to the door.

Hear me when I say

When I say I believe

A man turned around in surprise as Esteban ran into the room. He bellowed something and chucked beer bottled at his head. Esteban dodged, ran forward, and, grabbing the man by the throat, rammed him into the wall. "What the hell did you do to her?" Esteban yelled into the face of the man, who was cursing, and choking at the same time as he tried to loosen Esteban's grip on his throat.

"Where is she?" He yelled again. The man swore, his face turning purple, and pointed at the door he was beating on.

Esteban grabbed a lamp from off of a corner table and struck the drunk on the head, making him pass out. Esteban released his hold on his neck and let him collapse on the floor.

Nothing's gonna change

Nothing's gonna change destiny

Maddie covered her head with her arms. The beating had just stopped. He knew the lock was broken. She heard the doorknob turn. He was coming to kill her. Please take me quickly.

The door swung open. Maddie stiffened.

A young woman prayed that her life would soon end.

A young man, prayed that he wasn't too late.

"Maddie?"

Maddie felt strong arms lift her gently.

"Maddie!" the voice said again.

Slowly she opened her eyes. To her immense surprise she was still in her bedroom. And she was looking up into a pair of familiar brown eyes. She could hardly dare to believe it.

"Am, am I still alive?' Maddie asked weakly. 'Or did you have a run in with Ilsa?"

Relief flooded through him. Esteban let out a shaky laugh, as he pulled her closer to him. "You're still alive.' His eyes filled with tears as he choked out, ' you're all right. You're gonna be fine."

Maddie smiled faintly, and slipped into the inky blackness of sleep. She was safe.

Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
