~Hater girl strikes again~
Liv's Pov
"-and then he said he wanted me to be this Karen's bridesmaid!" I exclaimed.
He sighed "Chicà, calm down"
I grunt "You are not helping Josh!!"
You might wonder how I ended up here. Well, I needed someone to let out my anger and no one else was available. Drew had to meet his own dad, South had a date with Nate, Winnie, Ken and Nick were still busy but Josh was able to sneak out. Blair went out with her parents.
Cece...well...she hasn't been in contact with anyone lately. And I kinda feel like its my fault.
I tried her like severally and dropped voice mails. I even went to her house.
Tori - her mom - said she went to her aunt's.
Though I didn't buy that, I had yo leave her be. She had her own problems.
"Where is Drew anyway this is his job!" He said getting frustrated.
He has every right, I have put him through hell. "I'm sorry Josh. You did help. Thanks" I said then ended the call.
He wanted to say something but oh well.
I have to handle this in my own. With a sigh, I got up and headed into my closet for a change of clothes.
I pick out a yellow shirt and khakis and pack my hair in a loose ponytail.
I wore my brown sandals and took my phone.
I ran down the stairs and headed out.
I needed to clear my head. A walk would do it.

Cause I don't care
When I'm with my baby yeah
All the bad things disappear
And you making me feel like maybe I am somebody
I can deal with the bad nights
When I'm with my baby yeah
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oohh ooh
I Don't Care by Ed sheeran and Jb sounds through my ears.
"It's getting chilly" I say to myself as I wrap my arms around myself.
As the wind blows and I keep walking to no where in particular, I feel like I'm being followed.
I turn around. A weird guy is at my back but makes no sign to kill me.
Hunh, nothing to be worried about. I still feel that way and I turn around and I see there's another guy at the other side of the road.
I look forward and I see another one.
Their following me. They start to multiply.
Uh-oh.
RUN!!!

I lean on a wall by a corner. Panting as my chest rises and falls.
I fish out my phone and call Drew. I leave it on speaker then drop my phone in my pocket.
I look slowly behind the wall.
"I think I lost them!" I mutter
Thank God! I'm going straight home.
"Think again" And then a fist hits me hard on my jaw.
"Argh" I moan. He tries to hit me again but I duck. I try to escape but he has me cornered.
I try to scream but he covers my mouth with his dirty hand. I bit him hard and he removed it.
I slap his face so hard, there's a red imprint of my palm. "Your gonna regret that"
He swings again and hits my lip. Blood starts gushing out. "Ugh!"
With what's left in me, I high kick him right in the groins.
"Why you little" He hisses as he hits my eye. I try to stop the tears but they came out anyway.
He punched my gut and I coughed blood. I slumped to the ground as his other boys gather around me on the floor and laugh. One of them kicks my side, and then I couldn't take it anymore.

Third person's POV.
The boys laughed in victory as their operation had been successful.
"Call the boss" Their leader barked.
And one of them fished out a phone from his pocket.
After tapping the screen a bit, he hands the phone over. "Boss. Mission accomplished" He said with a smirk on his face
"Very good. Your package is at the abandoned warehouse near the dark alley" A distorted voice said over the phone
The dark alley was a shady place where people like them met up for deals. Exactly where they met.
"She gave us a bit of trouble though. Strong girl, that one"
"Extra for your troubles then?"
"Yes boss. Why did you want us to do it anyway? She seems nice. I almost didn't couldn't do the job. Almost"
"Why Dont you shut up and take orders Rico. Mind your own damn business while your at it"
"Sorry boss"
"We'll talk later on the next phase. Dont forget to leave the letter"
"I won't" And the line cut dead.
"C'mon boys, let's get outta here before she wakes up"
"She won't! Boss you knocked her out cold! How do you even do this stuff?!" One of the minions said in awe
"Dont you know boss doesn't have a conscience" Another one replied
"Yeah that's true -"
"Shut up and let's get moving!" With that, they fled the place.
While the boys left, Rico dropped the letter as asked of him.
Liv laid there on the floor. Luckily for her, she was smart enough to call Drew. The young lad heard what was going on and thought it wise to wait for Rico and co to leave before talking.
"Cupcake? Cupcake? Liv! I'm coming okay! Can you just say one thing, where are you"
Her phone was on the floor beside her. She looked around slowly for landmarks and she was able to croak "Fergu...sons...bake"And she gave up.
" I'll be there Liv. You just wait" He said sadly realising she went unconscious.
A young lad about the age of nineteen stepped out of the Ferguson's bakery and saw Liv on the floor by the corner.
Still in his apron, he rushed to her and carried her bridal style.
Took her into the bakery to get more help and him and his father rushed Liv to the nearest hospital.

Drew's POV
"-and then I bought the whole damn restaurant!" My dad said and the room erupted into laughter.
I was forced to follow him to another one of his stupid fundraisers.
I felt my phone vibrate and saw Liv was calling me. My heart literally did a little dance.
I excused myself to answer her, grateful for a distraction.
She didn't say anything for a while.
"I think I lost them"
What was she saying? I keep quite and Didnt say anything again. Then a gruff male voice says
"Think again"
"Argh"
The hell was going on?? Did she butt dial me? Was she in trouble? Was this her way of telling me? Whatever was going on I needed to keep shut just in case.
I hear what sounds like a muffled scream.
Is she okay? Okay now I definitely had to keep quite. Was she being raped? Oh God no! I would never forgive myself.
Suddenly the male voice says
"Your gonna regret that!"
"Ugghh!"
Then a crash.
"Why you little"
And then I heard nothing again. A crash and then her phone lands on the ground. I'm guessing.
Okay I think I should call the cops! I start roaming the bathroom. Some dude comes out of one of them and gives me a weird look but I ignore him.
Liv is in danger. And I can't do anything right now. Wait, yes I can!
I listened closely and carefully. I had been recording the call immediately I heard her say "I think I lost them"
Suddenly I heard male voices laughing.
"Call the boss" a voice said sharply. After a while of silence the voice speaks again.
"Boss. Mission accomplished"
Silence.
"She gave us a bit of trouble though .Strong girl that one"
I cracked a smile. That's my girl. I had removed my blazer and rolled up my sleeves and undone a few buttons. I was sweating like crazy.
"Yes boss. Why did you want us to do it anyway? She seems nice. I almost couldn't do the job. Almost"
Who is this "boss" and why does she want Liv dead?? Liv doesn't seem like one to make enemies with shady people.
"I won't. Where should I drop the letter?"
What letter?
"Come one boys, let's get outta here before she wakes up"
Then another voice says "She won't! Boss you knocked her out cold ! How do you even do this stuff?!"
Another one replies "Don't you know boss doesn't have a conscience?"
"Yeah that's tru-"
"-Shut up and let's get moving!"
And that was the last I heard of them. I stayed quite a bit in case one of them was still there.
"Cupcake?Cupcake? Liv! I'm coming okay! Can you just tell me one thing, can you tell me where you are?"
After a bit she croaked "Fergu...sons...bake"
And then she stopped. She probably went unconscious. Oh no this is bad! This is really bad!!!
I burst out of the bathroom. I hurried to the hall where everyone else were and I went to meet my dad.
"Son where have you been? And you look like a mess!" Dad said
"I'm sorry...dad, Amy I be excused.. Again?" I asked trying to be polite. There's only so much crap I can take right now.
"No! You are going no where!" He whisper-yelled
"But dad its an emergency!" I shout not minding the funny looks I'm getting.
"What is so important that you must ruin the evening for me!"
"Dad..its my..my..my girlfriend!" I said liking the sound of that. I almost smiled but I wanted him to take me seriously.
Mom walks over to us. "Honey let him go" she persuades
Then she drags him away to meet another snotty rich dude "Ah..Ian..Where is your charming son! I simply must meet him!"
I quickly sprinted out the halls before they could call me back.
I reach the parking lot in two minutes and jump into my blue jeep.
I start driving and look for my phone to calk Josh.
I reach out for the bottled water at the back seat and finish it all in a gulp.
Shoot! I left it in my blazer...which is in the toilet.
Well...I'm on my own then.
"Ferguson's bakery" I say and then the car screen shows directions and I speed my way there.
He mentioned something about a letter. Could it be from "hater girl" ?
The image of Liv sprawled on the floor lifelessly keeps running through my mind.
