A/N1: Chapter six came a little quicker than I expected. I'm happy though. It's a fairly boring chapter in my opinion with the exception of the flashback I guess. But anyways enjoy! Chapter six everybody!

"Alejandro..." I whispered as everyone whipped their heads towards me. "What-"

"No. I'm going to talk and you're going to listen. Claro? Now, you and Heather have been giving me plenty of grief for the past two months and you know what, Courtney? I'm tired of it. So, we're going to make a little deal. I want you and Heather to meet me somewhere. Can you do that? If not..." he let the unspoken threat sit between us. If not he'd hurt Duncan.

"Yes," I replied automatically.

"Good. I know you've been having my brother chauffeur you around and that stops. You and Heather can drive so find a car and meet me at the high school. Eight 'o clock sharp. And don't involve anyone. I will know if you do."

I bit my lip, blinking back tears. "How do you always know?" I asked quietly. He chuckled darkly.

"It's a wonder the people you meet when your family is rich. I'll see you at eight, Courtney. Would you like to say hi to Duncan?" he asked and I heard the phone shift for a moment.

"Don't do anything he says, Court." Duncan said then groaned. "Bastard..." he growled before Alejandro took the phone back.

"He's such a kidder. I can see why you like him. Good bye, Courtney. And tell Carlos I said hola." he said before hanging up.

I sat there, phone still to my ear, trying to processes what I just agreed to. "Well...what did he say?" Carlos asked. I put the phone down and looked at him.

"He wants me and Heather and meet him. If I don't show up he'll hurt Duncan." I said, hearing the blood rush in my ears. "I can't involve anyone. And he says you can't drive me there."

"No, Courtney. You can't do this." Carlos told me, grabbing my hands.

"I have to! If I don't there's no telling what he'll do to Duncan. He nearly killed me and Heather, he could do the same to Duncan. It's my only option. If Duncan's killed...I'd blame myself." I stood up slowly and looked at Bridget and Sierra. "Thank you, both of you. You've both been a big help." I told them and Sierra ran and hugged my tightly.

"Be careful, please! And catch that no good Alejandro! For any other girls he's done this to." she told me, squeezing me once more then dug into her pocket and pulled out a green feather attached to a string. "Here, take this. It's my good luck charm. Green is Cody's favorite color but he found the feather and gave it to me." she put the feather in my hand and folded my fingers around it, smiling.

"Thanks," I said, wiping my eyes.

"Take care," Bridget said, hugging me too-not as tight as Sierra though.

"I will. Sierra can you stay with Bridget?" I asked, grabbing Carlos' hand and pulled him towards the door.

"Courtney, please think about this. At least call the police and tell them." he said as I walked out the front door. He followed after me, frowning.

"I can't, Carlos. He's always watching, even if we don't know. If I even think about calling them Duncan could die. So either you take me home this instant or I'm walking." I demanded, stopping by the car. He bit his lip, looking around for a moment then sighed in defeat and unlocked the doors.

"Aye dios mio. Por que mi?" he muttered as we got in.

I ignored his muttering and decided to text Heather.

'U home?

Yea. Y

Big news. Not good. :(

Al?

Yea. Meet me at my house in 30.

K.'

-One car ride later-

"Are you sure you want to go through with this, Courtney?" Carlos asked as he dropped me off at home.

"I'm positive. Thank you for driving me around. When we get Duncan back I'll keep you updated." I said and hugged him, kissing his cheek.

"Good luck, Courtney. I'm sorry for all that Alejandro's put you through..." He said, looking downward.

"Hey...don't worry. I'll be fine." I told him, hugging him once more then went inside. My parents still weren't home but with my mom being a lawyer and my dad a paralegal I was used to them both working late. With no way else to bade my time except wait for Heather I decided to finally get something to eat, something small that would settle my queasy stomach. I walked into the kitchen, glancing at the stove clock that read five thirty. Only two and half hours until I was supposed to meet with Alejandro. Just thinking about it made my head spin. I sat down at the table and put my hand to my head. I couldn't help but remember the last encounter I had with him.

Alejandro had just been over twenty minutes ago. He had practically threatened me, telling me not to anyone of what he did. We had agreed that I wouldn't and that if Heather came over asking if I would tell her to stop trying to get Alejandro caught. I felt like a coward but there wasn't anything I could do that wouldn't in him possibly killing me. I wiped my eyes and prepared to go upstairs when the door opened. I thought it was my mom or dad but it was too early for them to be home. He then walked in the living room. Just the sight of him almost had me in tears again but I kept strong. I wouldn't let him see me cry.

"Hello again, Courtney. You don't look too happy to see me." He said, stepping closer to me.

"I-i...w-what are you doing here?" I asked, looking for a way around him. He blocked the only exit I had to get upstairs. I was screwed.

"Well you see, I just paid Heather a visit. It was...interesting. And it left me wanting something that I couldn't get from her. So...I came to you." he smirked at me and grabbed my hand, pulling me to him. Everything in my screamed no and I tried to struggle away from him but he was too strong. I was like a kitten in the jaws of a German Shepard. "Now, stop struggling, Courtney. You're only going to make it worse for yourself." he hissed in my ear, dragging me upstairs.

"No!" I tried to scream but only managed a strangled sob. It couldn't be happening again! Why me? What did I ever do to deserve this

Hot tears washed down my cheeks as he kicked open my door and threw me on the bed. He smiled like a shark, like he was enjoying the thought of bringing me so much pain. I curled into a ball, hopping to abridge the horrible event. 'I won't let it happen again,' I thought then shrieked as he placed his hands on me, wrenching me out of my ball. "There's no hiding, Courtney." he whispered then flicked out a pocket knife. My eyes widened before I squeezed them shut, praying that I wouldn't be killed today. He then sliced my shirt down the middle, even cutting the middle of my bra off. I felt so exposed, so vulnerable.

"Please...no..." I pleaded, knowing it was no use. If I got out of this alive I promised myself then and there that I would never be that vulnerable again.

"Pleading will get you nowhere," he told me before we both perked up, listening. The sound of police sirens were wailing outside, coming down the street. In an instant we both knew what that meant. Heather had finally called the police. "Mierda," he hissed angrily, grabbing me by shoulders and made me look at him. "Don't you ever forget me, Courtney. I will be watching," he told me before plunging the knife into my side. I shouted in pain, grabbing my side. "Adios, amiga." Alejandro said as my world started to blink in and out of view. That was the last time I had ever seen Alejandro and I had hopped that would be my last. I wasn't very lucky.

I snapped out of my reverie as I heard a knock on the door. I got up and answered it, knowing it would be Heather. "Hey," I said, letting her in.

"Hey," she whispered, her voice still a bit scratchy from the wound she received. "So...what's this all about?" she asked as I lead her into the living room and sat down.

"Alejandro. He has Duncan." I told her and she gasped.

"How?" I explained our whole day to her, starting from meeting Carlos and ending with the phone call.

"So, now we have to meet him. We can't involve the police or anyone." I told her. She sat there for a minute, seeming to take it in. It wasn't until then that I noticed my hands were shaking.

"Let's do it. I'll borrow my parents car and we'll meet him there." She finally said. Unlike Carlos I knew Heather would understand. She knew probably more than both of us that Alejandro had only needed minimum prompting before doing something. She must have seen something in my face because she grabbed my shaking hand and held it still. "Don't worry. Duncan will be okay. We'll meet Alejandro, agree to what ever he says, then get Duncan back. Even if Alejandro doesn't get put away at least D will be safe." I looked into her face and saw more sincerity there than I have ever seen before. Heather had changed but then again, things like this changed people. I knew I had changed too. I was determined more than ever to put Alejandro behind bars like he deserved.

"Right. Let's go get my boyfriend back."

A/N2: So, what did you think? We brought Heather back into the story and I've been waiting to do that for a while. So anways, what do you think Alejandro wants to talk about with the ladies? Is Carlos going to come back? Will Heather and Courtney devise a plan to put Alejandro away with out killing themselves in the processes? Will I ever stop asking questions? Actually yes, I will. Stay tuned for the answers to these questions and more in the next thrilling installment of No Mas!
