--Part 2--



 Cindy's P.O.V

I stood there confused. "W-What are you doing here?.. And why are you all dressed up?"
All 3 of them smiled, then Josh stepped foward, hidding a large, long bag behind him. "We'll tell you.." he started.
Then he pulled out the long bag from behind him, containing a beautiful deep red dress with sequince all over it.
"When you put this on." he said, beaming.
My mouth was a perfect circle, I couldn't believe they would do something like this.
"Earth to Cindy!" Hunter shouted, laughing. "Go get changed, prom is starting soon."
"But.. But-" I started to say, but Alex cut me off.
"Listen, we know you don't have all the nice clothes and crap that the other girls have.." He stated. "But what those girls don't have, is three gentlemen escorting her to prom."
I felt tears well up in my eyes, and hugged all 3 of them tightly. "Thank you.." I managed to whisper.
They hugged back and said your welcome, then yelled for me to go get ready.
I laughed and obeyed.
Soon we were at the school, and all eyes were on the four of us.
I could read peoples faces like a book; they were thinking "Wow, she can actually be pretty?"
I have to admit, I thought I looked beautiful. My brown hair was curled into thick locks, and I had my mom help me with makeup, since I've never bothered to wear it before. My ears had long dangly diamond earrings hanging from them, and I had a matching necklace to go with them.
I guess you could say my heels matched as well, sinc ethey were silver.
I had trouble walking in them, and had to hold onto Josh. I hated them, but I wanted to look nice.
Anyway, we made it just in time for a slow dance.
Hunter extended his hand out to mine, and Josh and Alex smiled and backed away.
I took his hand and he pulled me close, putting his hands on my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled at him.
"I didn't know you could dance." I whispered to him.
He smiled, and said "I'm full of surprises."
During the song, the boys took turns.
After Hunter, it was Josh, then Alex.
In each of them, I saw a side of them that I never knew exsisted.
A romantic side.
But none of that mattered now.
Josh and Hunter hated me, even as angels.
And Alex wants to divorce me. I know he does. He wont even let me go near my own child.
So I figured why take up anymore space. Just end it now.
So that night when Alex was in the shower, I took a knife from our knife box. the biggest one there.
I slipped it under one of the cushions of the couch in the spare room, then went to Savannh's crib while I still had time.
She was sleeping, making light baby snores every now and then.
I smiled, as tears began to go down my face. This would be my last time seeing my baby girl.
I put my hand down and stroked her soft cheek, and whispered "Goodbye honey.."
Then I walked back to my room, completely ignoring Alex in the kitchen.
I sat there all night, staring at the sharp blade.
I put it too my skin a few times, but didn't have the nerve to draw blood.
Before I knew it, the sun was rising, and I heard Alex getting ready for work.
He knocked on the door, asking if I wanted anything for breakfast.
I said nothing.
A few minutes later, I heard the door close. He was gone.
Time past, and still I didn't move. I just sat there, staring at the knife.
I blocked out the world, so I didn't hear the car horns outside, or Alex coming home, or Savannah's screaming.
The only thing that did bring me back to earth, was Alex's yelling.
"Cindy, this is childish!"
I don't know why that pushed me over the edge, but it did.
I sliced both my wrist. The first one went through like butter, but the second one, got stuck.
The knife was actually so deep, that it got stuck in my arm.
I was suddenly scared. And the pain was unbarrable.
Suddenly Alex burst the door, catching me red handed. Literally.
The last thing I can remember was his arms wrapping around me.

--Part 1--



 Cindy's P.O.V 

 Did you ever feel like your life was a complete waste of time?
From the day you were born, to were you are now. All of it was just you sucking in oxygen that could of been useful people's air.
That's how I feel right now. And nothing you can say can change my mind.
I had a horrible childhood.
From the first day of kindergarten, I was always that 'weird kid.'
No one liked my clothes, or the way I styled my hair.
I remember on Halloween, when all the other little girls were dressed as fairys or princesses, there was me, dressed as a werewolf.
I hated girly things, and anything pink and sparkley made me gag.
 I liked things that were scary or gory. Anything that caused comotion.
I was watching horror movies by the time I was 3. I found them funny.
But anyway, that day I got kicked out of my classroom for scaring the other girls.
They all screamed and ran away from me, screaming "Cindy's a ugly dog!"
I never forgot that day.
And it basically went like that through out all of school, well, besides meeting Alex, Josh, and Hunter. My only friends I ever had.
I believe high school was the worst, since that's when wearing brand named clothes and being "popular" counted the most.
I never talked to anyone besides Alex, Hunter, and Josh; but yet people still found a way to make fun of me.
Wheather it was my hair, or my clothes, or not wearing any makeup.
I was known as the "Weird hobo girl" because I chose to wear baggy jeans and sweatjackets everyday instead of tight shirts and short skirts.
Despite me being a girl, everyone picked on me.
Boys pushed me down, pushed me into lockers hard, knocked my books out of my hand.
One time a boy pushed me down, and gave me a kick in the side and walked away laughing with his friends.
I thought boys weren't aloud to hit girls, but I guess I was wrong.
And after high school, me, Alex, Hunter, and Josh spent life on the run. You remember that, right?
I honestly think the only good thing that happened before marrying Alex, was prom night in high school.
 Alex, Josh, and Hunter asked me if I was going, and I said no. I told them that we would all get made fun of, so what was the point?
They nodded in agreement.
But later that night, while I was snuggled up on my couch watching tv, there was a knock on my door.
I wondered who would be here, but I got up and shuffled to the door.
I opened it up to be greeted by Josh, Hunter, and Alex all dressed in black and white tuxes.

**NOTE** Too long :p

Chapter Twenty Four



Alex's P.O.V 

I awoke to the annoying beeping of my alarm clock.
I groaned, it can't be 7am already.
But when I looked at my clock, it showed the sad truth.
7am sharp. Yipee.
I stood up and stretched, cracking a few bones. I shivered, that's just gross.
Savannah was stil asleep, so i figured I'd get myself eady before waking her to feed her.
I went into the kitchen and made myself a toasted bagle with cream cheese, with a nice, hot cup of coffee.
I sat down at the table and began to eat, but I couldn't stop my eyes from drifting to the spare room door.
Is Cindy okay? She hasn't came out of that room since last night.
When I was done, I made my way over to the door and gently knocked.
"Cindy?.. Do you want something for breakfast?"
Only silence answered me.
I sighed. Either she was still mad at me, or she was asleep.
I tried to open the door, but it was locked.
I bit my tongue hard.
"..Well I'm going to feed Savannah then head off okay? I'll see you after work.."
No repley.
I went into my bedroom and got changed into another set of work clothes, then wandered over to Savannah's crib.
Her eyes were slightly open, and she let out a yawn.
I couldn't fight back my smile as I picked her up, "Good morning sleepy head."
She made baby noises as I carried her into the kitchen and heated up her formula, she's so cute.
I fed her, burped her, then changed her into a fresh diaper and a onezie that read, "I'm a cutie and I know it."
Cheesy but adorable.
I placed her in her crib, and soon enough she was out like a light.
"Alright Cin.. I'm leaving. I'll be back soon."
Once again, only silence.
***
"Are we better today, Foster?" My boss asked, stopping by my desk.
I looked up from my paperwork, and nodded my head. "Yes sir, thank you."
He gave me a rare smile, before walking off to God knows where.
Mr. Harrison is a nice guy, but he can be very strict sometimes. If he smiles at you, that usually means he has a little respect for you.
Well, at least that was a good sign.
Soon enough, my watch beeped, signalling me it was 4pm, time to head home.
I packed my things, and said goodbye to my pal Jayden. He was the new guy a few weeks ago, a real nice kid.
***
When I got home, Savannah was screaming at the top of her lungs.
It scared the living daylights out of me, was she hurt?
I threw my suitcase to the floor and ran into my bedroom.
She was fine, but was alone and scared.
 "Didn't mommy take care of you when I was gone?" I asked, as if she could answer.
I could tell she was hungry, so I quick fed her, then put her in her swing.
I went straight to the spare room and knocked on the door.
'Cindy, I can understand being mad at me, but you dont have to take it out on Savannah."
No answer.
"Cindy this is being childish!" I said, getting a little mad.
I tried the door again, but it was still locked.
"Cindy, open this door now!"
Nothing.
That's it.
"Fine, we'll do it my way."
I backed up, then kicked the door open with a powerful kick.
My stopped at the sight I saw.


**Note** Have you ever loved someone so much, that it hurt? *sigh*

Chapter Twenty Three



Alex's P.O.V 

Later that night, after Savannah was fed, changed, and laid to sleep, I decided to take a shower to calm my nerves.
I was still extremely mad at Cindy, and haven't spoken a word to her since I got home.
As I grabbed my pajama's and a fresh towel, I glanced in the living room.
Cindy wasn't sitting on the couch anymore.
I tried not to be concered, but I couldn't help it. Wheather I'm mad at her or not, she's still my wife.
Placing my shower materials under my arm, I walked into the living room.
She wasn't there, nor in the kitchen. I walked over to the spare room we had in the apartment.
There she was, sitting on the couch just staring at the floor.
Her breathing was slow and calm, and I could tell she was deep in thought.
I figured I'd just let her be, so I walked away and into the bathroom.
I placed my towel and clothes on the sink, and turned on the water.
I stripped of my clothes, stepped into the shower, and let the cold water run over me.
I watched goosebumps appear on my skin.
I closed my eyes, and let the ice cold liquid engulf me.
It washed away my thoughts.
My anger.
When I felt calm enough, I switched it to hot and began my actual shower.
A few minutes later I was out and drying myself off.
Unlike Cindy, I don't take an hour in the shower.
I changed into my pajama's, put my used clothes in the hamper, and shut off the bathroom light.
As I walked out, I looked into our spare room.
Cindy was gone. Again.
I bit my tongue, and quickly walked to our bedroom; and I found what I feared.
Cindy was standing over Savannah's crib, watching her sleep.
Her hand reached down, and gently stroked Savannah's cheek. I heard her sniffle, so I knew she was crying.
She whispered something, but it was so soft I couldn't hear her.
She stood up, and started to turn around.
I quickly huslted to the kitchen and pretended to busy myself.
I heard her soft feet walk by, back into the spare room.
Then I heard the door close.
I have to admit, I felt bad for what i said before.
But that doesn't mean i forgive her.
I sighed, rubbing my eyes.
I'll talk to her about in the morning. Yeah, that's what I'll do. I thought to myself.
I looked around the kitchen aimlessly. Our house seemed so dead.
I sighed once more, getting a bottle of water out of the fridge before heading off to bed.
I just wish I would have scanned the kitchen better, then I would of notice the missing knife from the knife box.



Note: Sorry for taking so long. :(

 Alex's P.O.V 

"FOSTER!" a angry voice called.
I awoke with a gasp, my heart nearly beating out of my chest.
I was sweating like crazy, and my eyes were filled with tears.
I looked around, and realized I was at work.
I was sitting at my desk, and my boss stood in front of me, not looking happy.
"Sleeping on the job, Foster?"
I swallowed hard, and didn't make eye contact with him. "I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again.."
He didn't say anything, which made me nervous. I looked up at him for a second, and noticed he was giving me a funny look.
"..Is there a problem sir?" I asked. My voice was still shaky from my horrible dream.
"Foster, I'm giving you the day off. You look horrible." he said, crossing his arms.
At first I was happy, because I didn't sleep at all last night. I was so tired.
But then I realized something.
Cindy is at home. Cindy held a knife to my throat. And in my dream, Cindy killed me.
I didn't want to go home anymore.
"N-No sir, that's okay. I'm fine." I said, clearing my throat.
"Alex." he said, looking at me a little more friendly. "Go home and get some rest. That's an order."
'But I don't want to. My wife might kill me.' I wanted to say.
But instead, I lowered my eyes to my desk and sighed, "Yes sir.."
"Good. I'll see you tomorrow."
With that, he walked off down the hall.
***
I entered my home quietly, not wanting Cindy to know I was home.
But that didn't work out too well, considering she was in the living room.
Savannah was in her lap, and a beer was in her hand.
I couldn't figue out if she didn't hear me come in, or if she just didn't care.
I couldn't get myself to move from my spot, so I just watched her.
I couldn't believe what she did next.
Savannah started to get fussy, and let out a few cries.
She set the beer on the table beside her, and craddled her in her arms.
She tried to make her be quiet, but it wasn't working.
She then dipped her finger into the beer can, and stuck it into Savannah's mouth.
"Shh.." she said, while stroking her thumb on her cheek.
My blood started to boil.
She's giving beer to my baby girl.
Before I knew it, I was standing in front of her, my fists clenched tight.
"What the f**k are you doing?!"
She jumped, and looked up at me. She seemed surprised. "What are you doing home so early?"
I didn't answer. I ripped her hand out of Savannah's mouth, then gently took her into my arms.
"Why in God's name are you giving out 2 month old beer!?"
She seemed nervous, but she answered "It helps her relax."
"You mean you've done this before?!" I yelled, enraged.
She bit her lip, but nodded.
I was so mad. I don't care if Cindy hurts me, but if she hurts my daughter..
"You're not allowed to touch her. Ever."
"You can't do that! She's my daughter to!"
"DON'T TOUCH HER. UNDERSTAND?" I yelled.
She seemed shocked by my outburst.
I didn't give her time to answer.
I grabbed the end of Savannah's crib, and dragged it into my bedroom.
The slam of the door echoed in the apprtment.

**NOTE** That last chapter was supposed to be chapter twenty one, not two. :)

Chapter Twenty Two



 Alex's P.O.V

I was sitting at home, watching TV like usual.
Savannah was asleep in her crib, and Cindy was in bed.
So I thought.
For some reason, my heart started to beat a little faster, and the hairs on the back of my neck started to stand up.
I set the remote down on the cushion beside me, and turned around to scan my surrondings.
I was suddenly face to face with blade, sharpened to cut through bones if it had to.
I jumped back with a shriek, falling off my couch. I stared up to see the holder of the weapon, and to my shock, saw Cindy.
"C-Cindy?.." I shakily said.
She said nothing. Her face was blank.
She simply walked around the couch to where I was sitting, and stared down at me.
Her eyes were as cold as ice.
"Cindy.. w-what are you doing babe?" I questioned, moving back.
But she only got closer.
She never answered me. I moved back until my back hit the wall.
She had me cornered.
My breath was short and thin. I was shaking like a leaf.
She crouched down so we were eye level.
"Have fun with your angel friends." she mumbled, in a voice that I've never heard before.
She then sunk the blade into my chest, before I got a chance to scream.

Chapter Twenty



Cindy's P.O.V

I laid on my bed, clutching the beer can tightly in my hand.
I had already drank half of it, it calmed my nerves.
The room was silent, but I could hear Alex sobbing quietly.
What a loser.
He takes Hunter and Josh's side, pushes me to the ground, doesn't come to see me in the hospital, then has the nerve to start crying because I didn't talk to him?
Loser.
I thought about what Josh had said to me back at the hospital;
You thought it was hard when I couldn't help you, let's see how screwed you are when you don't have an angel!
I felt my blood boil. F**k him. I don't need his help.
I got away from the gang by myself, no help from him.
I'll be perfectly fine.
I sipped my beer, letting the ice cold liquid run down my throat.
I calmed down a little.
Then suddenly the beedroom door opened, and Alex stood there, his eyes still red.
I sat up, but still didn't say a word. We stared at each other for a good few minutes.
"Go away Alex. Close the door on the way out." I commanded, taking a gulp of my beer.
"No." he shot back.
I raised my eyebrows, "Escuse me?"
"Cindy what are you doing.. You never drink."
I squeezed the can with all my might, crushing it and spilling beer all over me. I didn't care.
"What am I doing? I'm being happy. I'm being myself. I'm-"
"Bullsh*t" he cut me off. "Drinking isn't yourself."
"Just get out Alex!" I yelled, throwing the crushed metal at him,
He smacked it away with his hand, "No Cindy, not until you stopacting like this!"
My breath was becoming heavy, asi got more angry. I stared at him, scanning him over, and saw something that made me smile.
His hands were trembling so slightly it was barley visiable; I knew he was still scared of me.
I got up from the bed, and started to walk towards him. His eyes got bigger.
"And what if I don't want to Alex. What if I like this new additude?"
"I-I, uh.." he started to back up, but I justv got closer.
Soon enough, we were in the kitchen, and I had his back to a counter.
He was shaking more now, and his breathing was short.
I needed to do something to really scare him. So he'll leave me alone.
Our knife box caught my eye, I smiled.
Still cornering him, I reached over and pulled out the biggest knife there.
"Let me do what I want Alex.." I started, gently sliding the sharp side of the knife along his throat, "And we won't have a problem. Is that clear?" I added a little pressure, but not enough to draw blood.
He whimpered, shutting his eyes tight.
"You're not answering me Alex." I pushed a little harder.
"O-Okay.." he choked out.
I stepped away. "Good."
Savannah made a sudden noise, I walked over and picked her up, still holding the knife in my hand.
I felt Alex staring at me, "Don't be stupid, I'm not going to hurt her. She didn't do anything." I explained, giving him a glare.
"Sleep tight Alex. See you after work."
Then I disappeared into my room with Savannah.


Sorry if there's any mistakes, I never proof-read. lol :)
And O.M.G 51 followers! yay!! Thanks so much! Love you all <3

Chapter Nineteen
--1 Week Later-


Alex's P.O.V

I sat at home, cradling Savannah in my arms.
Tears dripped off my face, and soaked into her creamy pink baby blanket.
She looked at me with this confused, but happy face. Like she was trying to cheer me up.
It didn't work.
I haven't visited Cindy once, ever since that showdown.
That wasn't Cindy back at the hospital. It couldn't be. That has to be some really close look alike.
That's not Cindy.
But no matter how many times I tell myself that it wasn't her, it's not going to change reality. It was Cindy. And for some reason, she was that mean physco Cindy again.
She scared me. Bad.
Suddenly, the door handle shook, like it was trying to be turned.
I clutched Savannah tight, as I watched the door unlock and swing open. It hit the wall with a loud bang.
There stood Cindy, looking much better then she did a week before, but she still had that firey, evil look in her eyes.
A cold shiver went down my spine.
She stood there for a good two minutes, just giving me this icy glare.
She then stepped into the house, and slammed the door behind her, making me jump.
She locked it, then made her way over to the kitchen.
And what happened next, shocked me.
She opened the fridge, and pulled out a beer.
Cindy has never touched an alcoholic drink in her life. Not once.
Even when me, Josh, and Hunter tried to make her, she fought us off and refused.
But yet there she was, griping the cold metal can in her hand.
She stared me down again, narrowing her eyes.
Then she disappeared into our bedroom.
She didn't say one word to me, yet I was shaking so bad I had to put Savannah in her swing, or I would make her up-chuck.
My breath was heavy, yet short. I was so terrified.
I pulled my knees to my chest, and just cried. I didn't care if she heard me.
F**k that stupid gang. You ruined my for once, perfect life.

Chapter Eighteen


Alex's P.O.V

I stared at the nasty looking scar on Josh's cheek. It went from the corner of his eye, to about the middle of his cheek, nearly down to his mouth. It didn't look like it was going to fade anytime soon.
Josh's eyes didn't leave the floor once; but he came out from behind Hunter, just barley.
"I-I'm sorry Alex.. I know it's the last thing you wanna hear but.." his voice trailed off, as he swallowed hard.
I could tell he was trying not to cry. Josh has always been very sensitive, ever since I first met him. He's exrta soft when one of us is mad at him, or he thinks we are.
"Josh.. I'm not mad." I started, making him look at me. "I'm just.. having a tough time taking this in. She was doing fine, I think the only reason she snapped on you is because of that gang.. they pushed her over the edge."
"I'll say." Hunter cut in. "I didn't tell you what she did yet, did I?"
I shook my head no.
"If you're telling him, I'm out. I had enough yelling for a day.." Josh whispered, turning away from us.
"Josh I promise I won't yell.. Just please stay." I begged. I wasn't ready to see him disappear again. Not yet.
He stopped. I saw him chewing on his tongue, trying to make up his mind.
He sighed, "Fine."
I nodded my head again, ten looked at Hunter. "Alright.. Spill."
He took a deep breath, and fumbled with his fingers as he explained.
"A member of the gang slashed her cheek deep, too deep. he must've noticed, 'cause he unlocked her from the bed and brought her to the bathroom to wash it off. That's when she lost it and.."he stopped.
My hands were hidden in my jacket pockets, but they were balled into fists.
"And what Hunter. What did she do."
He bit his cheek, but didn't beat around the bush. "She killed him."
I nearly fell to the ground, my knees went weak when he said those words.
She killed him?
"..She... Huh?.."
I must've sounded like an idiot, but I was in such shock I couldn't think.
"I'm sorry man.." Hunter said, in a sad voice. He placed his hand on my shoulder, but I didn't look up from the ground.
He was about to continue, but Josh cut him off.
"She didn't even give me time to explain.. She blew up on me 'cause she thinks I purposley didn't help her. I couldn't help her. There was nothing I could do! But she's so damn pushy!" he gritted his teeth.
"Josh, calm down. It's alright." Hunter commanded, making him face him and placing his hands on both of his shoulders.
"It's okay, we know-"
"You didn't need time to explain. You're full of bullsh*t" a sudden voice said, cutting Hunter off.
All 3 of us turned, to see Cindy awake in bed. She had the look of evil in her eyes. It made a shiver go down my spine.
"There is no excuse Josh. Two weeks of torture, and you show up the minute I get free. You were supposed to help me get free. But no, you were two weeks to late. You deserved what you got from me."
I stared at her, amazed at how... scary she was being. When did that Cindy come back?
Then I looked at Josh; he was pale as a ghost, with his black hair covering his face as he stared at the floor.
"You don't know Cindy.." he barley whispered.
"I don't need to f**king know. Just.. just get out of my room." she commanded, glaring at the both of them.
I figured Josh would just leave without another word, but I was wrong.
He looked up from the tiles of the floor, and stared Cindy right in the eye.
"You are so thick headed. And you thought it was tough before when I couldn't help, let's see how screwed you are when you don't have an angel. 'Cause I'm done protecting your sorry-"
"Josh, enough." Hunter finished for him.
Josh looked from her, too me. His eyes said 'I'm sorry'.
Without another word, he walked towards the back of the room, and so faded into the air. Gone.
Hunter just stared at Cindy, like she was a alien from Mars.
"See you around Alex.." he mumbled, before disappearing aswell.
