I sneak through the doors, and head outside. I sit on one of the giant rocks lining the parking lot. I try to take a couple deep breaths, but my ribs proving it pointless. I sigh and put my head in my hands with my elbows on my knees slightly uncomfortable with a cast. “Thinking about leaving?” I hear Walker say behind me. I groan loudly and look back at him. I move my head so fast I nearly lose my balance. Walker runs over and places me up right back on the rock before I can hurt myself more. I can’t take it anymore and I just burst into tears. I hate that I’m letting him see this, but I can’t stop them. I pull my knees to my chest, forgetting about the pain it causes, and cry into my legs. I hear Walker get closer to me and before I know it, he’s picking me up. I don’t fight him and just let him take me wherever he wants. At this point if he’s taking me to a trap I don’t even care. I just want this all to be over.

He slides me into his suv and buckles my seatbelt. Then he gets to the driver’s side and takes off down the road. I don’t even bother looking to see where we’re going, I just sit and let the tears fall from my cheeks.

Once we get somewhere, I look up and see we’re at the drive-in. He goes and parks his suv in the same spot we were in the last time we were here and looks out the window. He doesn’t say anything and just lets me cry.

I feel like I was crying for an hour and when I finally can’t cry anymore, I look over at him, “Why are we here, Walker?” He gives me a small smile, “Because I want you to know something.” I look at him strangely, then look around looking for any threats. He smiles, “Dallas told us he was taking you to the movies. Cole and I didn’t think it was the best plan. We never hated you, but you just fell in the category of don’t talk to. I know it sounds bad, but I’m just being honest. We told him to bring you here so we could talk and get to know you before we decided if he should keep talking to you.” He starts laughing. “For the record he didn’t care if we approved, but he wanted us to get to know you better for some reason. The second you got into the car, we knew you were special. Don’t ask how, it was just a feeling we both got. We knew we needed to protect you.” I look at him shocked, that’s probably the most words I’ve ever heard come out of his mouth.

“Look, I know you’re going to take everything with a grain of salt when it comes from us, but we would never let anything willingly happen to you. None of us knew what was going down that night. We would have stopped it had we’d known, or even had an inkling. Amy, I don’t know if you’ll ever believe us, but we promise we had nothing to do with your attack. You’re special to us and right in this spot is when Cole and I figured that out. Dallas may have figured it out first, but we all know it now, even Liam.” He finishes and I look up at him surprised.

“I’m going to let you in on a secret. Liam, Dallas, Cole, they’re my brothers. Have been for as long as I can remember. I’ve known them hate, joke, play around you name it I’ve seen it… I’ve never seen them care for anyone the way they care for you. I’ve never seen Dallas so fiercely protective of anyone, and I mean anyone. I’ve never seen Cole without a smile on his face, until the day we went to the hospital because you were hurt. When it comes to Liam, ever since he turned away from you that day, he’s been closed off. His face when he turned around, away from you, after telling you he didn’t want to be friends anymore. Was something I’ve never seen before. It killed him to do that, he didn’t even come back to us, he walked past us and we didn’t see him again for two weeks. He hasn’t really stepped up to his future role like his father expects, until now. He finally gives a shit and is taking charge. You’ve brought that out in all of us, Amy. I honestly think we were mean’t to finally wake up, and I think that started with you. With you being here with us.” I just stare at him. “What about you?” I ask, he smirks. “Well, I’m sitting here having a mostly one sided conversation with you. I’d say that should tell you something.” I slightly smile, but it fades quickly.
