BRIAN'S POV

Sitting on the sofa in the recording studio I strummed to the melody that Matt was humming. Zacky was on the other sofa as he strummed his guitar along too. Matt stopped humming the melody as I stopped playing and glanced at the two men, which were like brothers to me instead of band mates. "That sounded perfect that time around." Matt said to me and Zacky.

"Great." Zacky said sitting his guitar down and propping it against the wall. "Anyone hungry?" He questioned grabbing his phone and all the take out menus we had.

"I am starved." Jimmy said laughing as he strolled in and plopped down in the floor looking at all of us.

I was about to answer Zacky's question when I heard my phone begin to go off. Cowboys and Angels by Dustin Lynch began blaring. I knew who it was and so did Zacky. I got up and walked out going outside as I answered the phone, "Kadence." I said.

I could hear heavy breathing and light sobs from the other end. My heart instantly was breaking into a million pieces. Something was wrong, I could feel it in my bones. Even though we weren't together anymore. I still had that instant instinct when something was wrong with her. "Brian." She whispered out as I heard a gagging noise and what sounded like water flying onto the ground.

"Kadence, are you alright?" I asked.

A moment of silence came between us, as I heard shuffling noises before I heard her breath a heavy breath out and say, "I need you."

"Where are you?" I asked not hesitating one minute.

"Where I moved too." She said softly. "At a park." She mentioned.

"I'll find you." I told her as I heard her end go dead.

I quickly tucked my cell phone away into my back pocket. Pulling my car keys from my front pocket I took and walked to my Dodge Avenger as I saw Zacky running towards me. "I know it was her." Zacky said as he got to the car. "What's going on Brian?" He asked me.

"She called me, that's it." I lied badly to him.

"I'm going with you, because you got that look on your face." Zacky said getting into the passenger seat.

I let a groan and sigh escape my lips as I shook my head. I knew he'd be going when heard the ring tone play earlier. I climbed into the driver's seat and started the car up. I took and frowned a little as I started the vehicle up and headed for the small town outside of Huntington where Kadence had moved too.

It was about a two and half hour drive but we'd made it. I saw her car and the passenger door open. I frowned as I took and pulled in beside of her car and saw her slumped into the steering wheel. I quickly shifted the car into park and got out going to her quicker than Zacky did. "Kadence." I said as she turned her head slightly and looked at me.

"Brian." A small smile appeared from her lips as she looked at me. "You came." She muttered out.

"Holy fuck." Zacky said looking at his baby sister.

"I'm sorry he knew it was you." I told her frowning a little.

She shook her head and slowly got out of her car. I could see bruises on her arm she was holding. And one on her cheek. "Did that bastard do this?" Zacky asked in a very hate ward tone.

She slowly nodded her head as I looked at Zacky, "Zach get the back seat ready for her. And you drive her car back to my place." I told him as he nodded.

I gently picked her up bridal style and laid her in the backseat making sure she was comfortable. By the way her arm looked it was broken in at least two places. "I am going to take you to the nearest hospital, Kadence." I told her as she nodded her head lightly.

I told Zacky where I was taking her and got in the driver's seat. I started it up and pulled out heading for the hospital. When I got her taken care of, I was going to find that little shit, Lucas. And I was going to murder the son of a bitch for what he done to Kadence.
