SORRY! Same excuse as last time (excuses, excuses), no but my besties and I had a fight and so I had no friends for a while and I was depressed and I didn't want to drag down my story was all. ALL GOOD NOW!

Mihael used the phone to call the police and explain the situation, and we were all delighted to hear about how furious Adrik was. We didn't tell them about the phone just in case the man from earlier decided to call us, the man terrified me but for some reason I could sense that he wasn't planning on hurting me, and he might even help me. Or maybe I'm just desperate.

"What were you boys thinking?" Adrik asked with his arms crossed and giving us a glare that was going to give me nightmares. Now I see where Mihael gets it from.

"I just didn't want to go." I replied quietly, staring at my feet nervously.

Adrik bent down so that he was at eye level with me (I'm surprisingly short) and kindly smiled at me. "If there is any real reason why I shouldn't send you home than please tell me so that I can help you."

I felt my eyes start to swell up with tear and m breathing grow heavy. "I-I just don't want to leave."

Adrik smiled again and put his arms out; I lent forwards and gave him a hug, trying hard not to cry.

"Near, tell him why you really don't want to go back with him." I heard Matt say from behind me and my stomach started to churn at the thought of telling Adrik, what would he think of it?

"I can't." I whispered, and Matt took a step forward and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Nate, just tell him." Mihael said, still standing behind me.

I took a deep, shaky breath and whispered. "No"

Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot,

IDIOT!

Was what was going through my head as I sat in my room at my old house. Alone.

"NATE GET YOURE ASS OUT HEAR!" BANG BANG BANG BANG!

I've got my door locked and am sitting on the floor waiting for the door to fly off its hinges, just for something to do.

'This time you won't be heard
You are gonna burn
It's funny how the table,
how the table turns'

Mihael had given the mobile phone that man had given us to me before I left, he told me to call him if I got into any trouble, for the time being we're pretending that the phone didn't come from a murderer. The phone was ringing loudly, other than the last two lines the song seemed to fit me pretty well, I'll have to be sure to look the song up if I live long enough to find a computer.

I flicked up the lid to the crimson flip phone and pressed the green button. "Hello?" I asked.

"Nate River."

"Yes?" How did the stranger know my name? Who IS he. As if he read my mind I got an instant response.

"You may call me B. Don't worry I am your ally."I was scared out of my wits, my dad was atempting to punch a hole in my bedroom door and there was some creep on the phone claiming to be my ally.

"Who's making all that noise?" B asked from the other end of the line.

"That's just my dad attempting to snap my door in half with his fists." I replied (or maybe dead paned).

"Is he going to hurt you?" the B asked with interest.

"Probably, I don't care." It was the truth, without Mihael or Matt around I really don't feel up to the task of living anymore.

"If he's hurting you perhaps you wouldn't mind some help punishing him?" was that a threat? Was he threatening my dad?

"Alright"

Mello's P.O.V

"grrrrrr" I growled like a dog as I paced back and forwards.

"Mello stop, you're making me dizzy." Matt complained as he watched me pace around from his place on, what used to be, my stepbrothers bed.

"Shut up Matt!" I yelled, I'm so frustrated with him not taking things seriously! For god fucking sacks! Nate could be dead by now! No, I would not think that way, Nate's alive and well, or at least that's what I'm gonna keep telling myself.

Near's P.O.V

"Give me a reason why not to adopt in this way,
or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins.
Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much,
maybe I overlooked something fatal for me."

I sung to myself as I tried in vain to fall asleep, the anime that Iris used to make me watch had some really lovely ending theme songs, the banging had stopped a few hours ago and I was told if love my room that much then maybe I'd like to remain in there for the next two days. B never showed up, I don't know why I was expecting him to anyway.

I miss Mihael, Matt and Adrik.

P.O.V

Mihael had been lying on his bed for an hour now, just staring at the ceiling through the darkness, when he heard his dad calling him.

"Wha'd ya wont?" he asked.

"Come on Mihael, I know I taught you better English then that." His dad commented before entering his son's room and handing him the phone.

"Yellow?"

"Mihael, please can you come to my house. I'd like someone to talk to, and please bring Matt as well."

Mihael nodded, forgetting that he couldn't be seen through the phone, then hung up, he immediately started to dial Matt's number. It's gonna be a long night.

I think I'm finally making some progress with this story.

Sorry I'm too lazy to proof read.
