One Month Later:

Anna & Nick were laying on the bed just staring at the ceiling still handcuffed when Nick turned to her
“I have an idea…” he said with that certain look in his eyes which usually means he’s up to something
Anna looked at him “what are you up to?” she asked
he smirked “well how about getting out of here?” he asked
Anna gave him a weird look “how?” she asked
Nick grinned “thru that window” he said pointing to a high up window
Anna was confused “how?... I mean how we going to get thru there its so high up & even we get up there how are we gonna break the window?” she asked
Nick smiled “smart girl… as you said you’re self I’m tall so I’ll put you on my shoulders & we’ll use a towel from the bathroom that’s in here” he answered
Anna smiled “what about the handcuffs?” she asked
Nick shook his head “you ask too many questions” he said
Anna grinned “I know I’m just trying to figure this out” she said
Nick gave her a smile “for the handcuffs part its gonna be a challenge but we’ll figure something out when the time comes” he answered her previous question
Anna smiled she had just one more question left for Nick “when is this plan you have gonna happen?” she asked
Nick grinned “tonight” he said grinning
Anna smiled “can’t wait” she said smiling happily
Nick smiled back “me either” he said


That Night…

It was now late & everyone was asleep expect Nick & Anna they came back from the bathroom with the towel in Anna’s hand Nick wrapped it around her hand tightly
Anna looked up at Nick “Nicky…could you sing a little of Lift me up?” Anna asked
Nick smiled & softly started singing

“When I'm down on my luck and I’m searching for my soul
When I’m feeling too much and i start to lose control
When I’m down so low that even enemies don’t wanna know
You still care for me say a prayer for me and i know

Ooo I like you hangin' round
Cause you lift me up when i am upside down
Ooo you are my favourite sound
Cause you’re always down for

Lifting me up like an angel when i hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I’m feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when i hit my low
when your arms are around me
i don't wanna let you go

When I’m lost along way and I can't face another day
And if i stumble on the road and if i cant carry the load
And if i lose my faith, and kindness, and generosity
Would you hold my hand?
Say you understand my pain?”

Anna smiled “I really love that song” she said smiling
Nick smiled down at her “I know…I do too I really wish that one made it to the album but it didn’t--“Nick started to say
“but the album kick’s ass” Anna cut in
Nick grinned “thanks & don’t swear” he said
Anna giggled “sorry” she said
Nick got down onto his knees “alright climb on” he said
Anna got onto Nick’s shoulders it was hard at first but they figured it out like Sherlock Homes & Watson
Anna punched the window & carefully climbed thru it then Nick jumped up & grabbed the side of the wall & carefully went thru it they ran quietly it wasn’t even 5 minutes yet before they got caught
“going somewhere blondie?” one of the guys asked
Nick gave him a sarcastic smile “yea, away from here” he answered
the guy punched Nick’s jaw so hard that he almost broke it but fortunately that wasn’t the case
& of course when Nick went down Anna went with him Nick got up & helping Anna back up
“c’mon” the guy said as he grabbed Anna really hard
“oww, not so hard” Anna said trying to get the guy to loosen the grip

After they were back inside the guy took them to see Abby she just looked at them trying to deicide what to do with them once she saw Nick grab Anna’s hand she was pissed but she just got an idea “James, can you please take the handcuffs off please?” Abby asked the guy who brought Nick & Anna back in James nodded & took them off Abby smiled when he did that Nick & Anna just stood there not saying a word “Jesse, please take Anna to the spare room” Abby said to the other guy that was in the room Anna was too afraid to say anything Nick was scared too, but he wasn't about to let the only girl, aside his mother and sisters, that ever gave a damn about him be taken from him he had to speak up before it was too late “Please, please, please don’t take her from me if you want me to survive I’ll do anything I need her in order to live thru this” Nick begged after he said survive he fell to his knees near tears but now that he was done saying what he had to say he was crying it wasn’t easy for him to let other people see him cry especially Anna they’ve grown very close in the last month & they both were very protective of each other but at this point Nick didn’t care he just needed Anna with him he had to stay sane & Anna was good at keeping him sane too but sadly it didn’t work Abby thought Nick was just saying that so he could protect Anna which was in a way true but he really couldn’t survive without her after the beatings he got he was always too weak to do stuff & Anna always took care of him & he did the exact same thing for her nothing more nothing less Abby looked down at Nick “well I don’t believe you & if it’s the truth then it sucks to be you” she said & ordered Jesse to take Anna to the spare room which he did & ordered James to take Nick back to the other room & as soon as he got there he broke down crying he was by himself which scared him so much what was he going to do now without Anna he had nothing to lose no one to protect him no one to care from him….how was he ever going to survive?
