Never Let This Go *Paramore*

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Edge

"And I will fight until the day the world stops turning

And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight, I need you to save me

I'm too close to breaking

I see the light

I am standing on the edge of my life,"

Two Weeks Later

Hayley's P.O.V.

Angela has basically layed off for two weeks and given us all a break. I need it. Every moment of every day I've longed for Taylor to hold me and tell me everything will be alright when I know in my heart he isn't going to be coming back.

I haven't done anything but layed on the couch and mourned for every single person I've lost in the time this has been happening. I haven't called Mckayla or my step mom since Erica's death, which I feel completely horrible about, but I can't bring myself to call. I'm surprising myself each day that I'm not dead yet. I want to be. I should be.

After two weeks of barely talking, eating, and disappointing Paramore fans, Chad calls. "Hello?" I ask through the phone softly.

"I think I know where she is hiding. Can I come over?" he asks.

"Please do," I tell him. He hangs up and I sit up on the couch, waiting to hear a door bell.

"If you go into the alley, there is a secret door. No one ones it's all there but it is. I don't know for sure, but I am quite positive about it,"

"We should call Jeremy and Kat over," I say to Chad. If we can find out where Angela is, we can end all of this. I'll never be okay again, but this will get me half way there.

Once Jeremy and Kat are here, I explain what Chad told me. "How did you find this out?" Jeremy asks him.

"Angela likes games. She's been hinting me like she threatens you guys," Chad responds.

"We have to go there," I say quietly to the three of them. "This could end everything and we could finally have a chance to fix things,"

"I think that's why she hinted you. She wants you to go there," Kat says.

"What are we waiting for? How far is this alley?" Jeremy asks.

"Twenty minutes away. Kat, I think you should stay with Bliss though, if something happens to you and Jeremy then Bliss is parentless. I don't want both of you at risk," Chad tells her.

"No way! He's my husband," she tells him grabbing Jeremy's arm.

"Kat, it's for the best, I promise. Can you trust me?" Jeremy asks Kat. After a moment of hesitation, Kat nods yes and brings him into a hug. "Love you Kitty Kat, okay?"

"You too Hairy Face, I love you too,"

-----

As soon as Jeremy, Chad, and I get to the alley, we search everywhere for the old door. I'm armed with a knife and a pair of fists. That's all I need. Jeremy too. Chad is the one with the gun because he has the license and jail isn't an option.

"Here it is," Jeremy says moving some old trash cans away from a rusty, old, red door. "Should we call the cops?"

"Not yet. We need to make sure they're here, or we'll end up the people who cried murder," Chad tells him. Chad is like the leader of the three of us, I guess. I mean, it's his family problems, he knows what he's doing, and Jeremy is as clueless as I am.
