A change (sequel to New Beginning?)

Chapter 7

Nash's POV

Connor burst through the door.

"Where's Mal??" He asked frantically

"You know?" I asked confused

"Know what? I sent her a bunch load of text messages and she didn't reply and she's always on her phone." He said "what happened?" He asked sternly

"There was a break in" I said clenching my fists

"What?!" He said running up the stairs

Me and Cam ran up the steps right behind him with Matt and Carter following right behind us.

"Mallory!" Connor shouted going into her room

We went inside to see Mallory jerk up from her sleep and rub her eyes. Max also stirred then sat up.

Connor ran over and hugged Mallory. While he did that, she winced in pain.

"Ow" she said biting her lip

"What happened? Why didn't you call me?" he asked in a panic

"Connor." I said

He looked at us 4 and said "where were you guys?!" He yelled

"Dad!" Mallory shouted then coughed

Connor settled him self down and nodded for us to explain.

"We were off at a meeting and left Mal at home. She was getting these texts we didn't know about till recently and I think the people that are texting her broke in and beat her up." I said

I could see tears swell up in Connors eyes.

"Mal, why didn't you tell anyone?" I asked

"They threatened to hurt you guys and I can't let that happen" she said

"And we're supposed to watch you get hurt?" Connor asked

She sighed. Max was hugging her from behind and rubbing small circles into her back.

Moments later the rest of the guys including Sarah and Lia came up.

Sam's POV

Connor ran into the house right when we pulled up into the driveway. We unloaded the car and finally we were done. We all walked up to Mallory's room and Kian yelled

"IM HOME HONEY!"

We laughed till we saw a beat up Mal in bed. Our faces dropped and we rushed to her side.

Nash explained what happened and my face fell. I was the only one that knew and I didn't do anything to stop this. Now she's beat up.

After a few hours Max left and everyone was downstairs watching tv. Mal was in her room resting. I decided to go talk to her.

*knock knock*

"Can I come in?" I asked

"Sammy, of course" she said

She scooted to the left and patted the spot next to her. I got under the covers and and rested against the head board.

"Mallory, I'm sorry I wasn't here" I said

"Sam, it's not your fault" she said

"You told me about this and look what happened. I didn't tell anyone and if I did, this wouldn't have happened. We would've think of a way to make sure you were safe, but it was too late" I said

"Sam" she said

I looked at her

"I told you not to tell anyone and you listened. That means I can trust you. What happened to me has nothing to do with you." She said

"We're not letting this happen again. I'm gonna do everything I can to make you safe" I said

"Thank you Sammy" she said kissing my cheek

I got out of her bed and tucked her in. I kissed her forehead and left her room.

I decided on heading to bed already since we were in the car for a while and a lot of news hit us in one day.

I went to my room and put on some basketball shorts and a white v neck.

I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I flossed then used the bathroom. I washed my hands then headed towards Mallory's room to check on her.

I peeked through her door and saw she was on her laptop. I went back to my room and went to my bed. On my way to my bed, I saw a piece of paper crumpled on the floor by my window.

I walked over to it and opened it up.

How does it feel for you to almost lose Mallory again?

My eyes widened and I ran downstairs to the backyard. I ran to bush that was right below my window and looked up to see if I was in the correct place. I looked everywhere and saw no trace of anyone being here. Then I looked closer and opened up my flashlight on my phone and saw footprints.

I walked back in the house and everyone rushed over to me.

"Sam what happened?" Sarah asked

I showed them the paper. Everyone's eyes went wide.

"We need to make sure the doors and windows are all locked." I said

Everyone nodded and made sure everything was locked.

Connor went up to Mallory's room to make sure her windows were locked.

When we were all done, we said goodnight and I headed upstairs to my room. I stared at the piece of paper for 10 minutes re-reading it. I finally crumpled it up again and threw it in the trash.

I laid in my bed thinking of people it could be. The I drifted off to sleep.

I hate the chapter being this short, but I can't help it since I have homework and stuff. I promise the next one will be longer
