Alex's POV:
I was on the bus with the rest of the guys, and Tay. Cassadee hasn't bothered me since earlier and I felt relieved. My arm awas around Tay's shoulder, holding her close to my side. No one questioned us. The guys knew I been missing her for the past couple months. Even Rian was happy to see us happy together.

"Hey Tay, can we ask you a favor?," Matt asks. "Yeah, what is it?" "We were wondering if you would sing the girl part to Remembering Sunday tonight. We're not getting a really good response when there's not girl singing it and its just Alex." He wasn't lying. It seems fans love it more when a girl came out and sang that part. "Sure, I never it done before though." "Its fine, Alex can help you out."

She smiles up at me and I smile back, "I would love to. Lets go."

I play the notes on my acoustic guitar and we sang along. "I'm not coming back," we sang together. I love her voice. It was beautiful and strong. Just the voice we needed for this part.

"That was perfect Tay." "Really? I felt like I wasn't hitting the right notes." I stand up and give her a quick kiss, "its perfect. The fans are going to love you tonight." "Thats my part Alex," I hear Cassadee in my head. 'Shut up. Now its Tay's.' "Your going to regret this Alex. You'll see."

"Hey Jack." "Yeah Alex?" "How about we bring someone out here to sing this with us." "I think thats a great idea."

The fans scream and I smile to myself. "Hey Tay, come on out." Tay walks out and the fans go crazy for her. She laughs and smiles and waves at the crowd. "Hey guys, I missed all of you. Bear with me, this is my first time singing this song." I laugh into the mic, "you did great during rehearsals." "Your my friend, you have to say that." "Actually, boyfriend."

The girls in the crowd screamed the most. Guys whisteled. Tay turns red and I thought it was the cutest thing.

We play through the song and Tay sings along with me, it sounded perfect. The crowd went crazy for it. I grab her hand and pull her to me. I kiss her cheek which caused even more screams from the crowd.

She walks off stage, "so guys. What song should we play next?" I started hearing screams and yelling, "ALEX! ALEX!!" The fans were screaming in horror and I turn around to see what they were telling me to look at.

Everyone was crowded in a spot and I run over. I push my way through and see Tay laying on the floor, and a stage light by her head. I look up and see that a stage light had fallen.

I started to panic and kneel by her. "Tay, Tay please wake up," I say shaky. I turn her onto her back, her eyes were closed, and saw that blood was on the floor. I felt tears roll down my face, "TAY PLEASE WAKE UP!!"

"I told you that you would pay Alex, but did you listen. No," I hear Cassadee laugh in my head. I shake my head and I feel the people lift me up. "NO!" "Alex its us!," Jack yells. They hold me back as I watch the peramedics take away Tay, "TAY!! I'M COMING TAY!!" "She'll be fine Alex, trust me," I hear Rian say.

I was in the waiting room, everyone was here. I felt numb. Lost. I didn't have Tay with me to keep me away from the darkness. Away from Cassadee.

I feel someone's hand on my shoulder and I look up to see that it was Rian. "She'll be okay Alex." "But what if she isn't," I say shaky. "Trust me. Cassadee said she would be."

I stare at him. Frozen. I didn't know what to think. Cassadee had him wrapped around her finger. He'll believe anything she says to him. Cassadee did this to Tay.

"I'm... I'm gonna use the bathroom." Rian nods, "okay."

I walk away and go in the bathroom. I lock myself in a stall and lean against the door. No. I won't let Cassadee get to me.

The lights started to flicker and then they went out. Cassadee. I walk out of the stall and I see Rian. "Rian?" "Cassadee warned you Alex," he spoke but it felt like Cassadee was speaking for him. "Rian. Snap out of it. Cassadee, she's-" "She warned you Alex. She only wants you to be closer to her, and you denied her."

Rian walks towards me but I back away. "Rian. She has you under her control. She's-" "Cassadee has been nothing but kind to us, and you disrespect her." He grabs my throat and I started to have trouble to breathe. He grips my throat tighter and my vision was getting blurry. "If you just give in Alex, she'll leave you alone. She'll heal Tay." He pushes me up against the wall, I was trying to pull his hand off but he was to strong.

He drops me to the floor and I gasp for air. I stare up at him, this wasn't Rian. Rian would never hurt any of us. "All you have to do, is give in." "I'll never give in." "Not the answer she wants to hear."

My head fills with a loud piercing scream, louder then last time. I yell out and hold my head. "STOP!!! PLEASE STOP!!" I hear Rian and Cassadee laugh. I hit my head against the wall on accident and I groan in pain.

"ALEX!," I hear Jack yell. I slowly open my eyes and look up at Jack. I look around and Rian was no longer in here. Jack holds me down from having a panic attack and I stare at him with wide eyes. "We heard you from the waiting room. What happened?" The guys run in and stare at me in shock. "Cassadee.. she... she did that to Tay.."

Jack looks down at my hand and see's the ring. "She got to you. Didn't she." I nod, I was still breathing heavy. "She won't stop till I give in Jack, we need to get back home. We need to get Rian back. He's the only one who can stop this."

"But Alex, we-" "I don't care Matt. We are flying back to Towson. Tonight."

Its time to end this.
