*Patrick's P.O.V.*

"Give me six months, Elaine. I can't just marry you right away after my grandmother has passed away." I told Elaine when we are in the balcony of my house.

I was thankful that Elaine is sincere these days and she's one of the people that comforts me.

"Of course, Patrick, I respect that besides I'm not hurrying to our marriage. It's just that I'm pregnant." She said. I can't believe that she still pushes the fact that I was the father of that child. I just let it pass for now and sadly smile at her.

"Thank you." I said.

My mind has been a mess these last couple of days. I want to think straight, but it seems that I can't. Chasity's still in Matthew's hands and I have no idea if she's still safe and sound. We're all dying I'm worry because of her and I hope we're the only one with the 'dying' situation here. I wouldn't know what to do if something really bad happens to her. Brendon and Sarah have heard the news too and we filled them up with information and they're now here with us, trying to contact Matthew.

Elaine doesn't know anything. The girl is clueless about what his step brother had done. I don't want to tell her anything about it because I was thinking that maybe if she found out, Matthew will be mad and that madness will all be poured to Chasity so I'm not taking the risk.

"I didn't know you have a step brother, Elaine." I casually told her.

"Oh, I haven't told you? Yeah, his name is Matthew. He's a surgeon now. It's been a while since I last saw him. I heard from my step mom that there's something wrong with him." Elaine answered.

"What do you mean?" I asked, my heart beat getting faster.

"My step mom said they had to stop him from going to work because he's hurting his patients. She also said that Matthew had anger issues over things and he hates music. He's not like that before, he was sweet and innocent when we were in college. I don't know what happened to him." She explained.

She was right, Matthew was a sweet and innocent guy back then, but to what Elaine had described he became a psychopath. Is this because of us? Maybe he took the fact of leaving him behind too seriously and if he really is a psycho now, we have to get Chasity out of his hands.

"I need to go to Pete's. Are you going to be fine here?" I asked.

"Of course. Take care, Patrick." She replied and I immediately went to Pete's.

Fortunately, they were all there already. I told them everything I found out and they panicked more. Well, who wouldn't? Chasity's on the hands of a psychopath surgeon...he can do anything to her.

"Guys...He sent us a message." Andy said and he looked at his phone in fear.

"Meet me in the abandoned factory near your studio in 30 minutes. I heard Patrick have postponed the wedding and I want to make another deal. Your girl will be there with me." Joe read and we're already on our feet.

This is our chance to save her and I'm planning not fuck up this time. I'd even give my hand just free her from him.

----------------------------------------

We forced ourselves inside the abandoned factory and the moment were inside we saw something we never want to see.

Chasity was sitting on a chair, motionless. Her hair is covering her face and I want to think that she's just unconscious there. I and Chris were the ones who immediately run towards her.

"Stop right there or else she might not wake up anymore." Matthew suddenly emerged from the shadows.

Chris and I stopped moving and faced him.

"Stop this madness, Matthew! She had done nothing to you!" Andy shouted at him.

"I know, but the four of you did something. It's her fault that she became your friend...you bring nothing but mayhem." He said calmly while standing just beside Chasity.

"Don't expect me to marry Elaine in the next few months, my grandmother died and it's because of you!" I shouted at him and he laughed at me coldly.

"I'm really sorry about that. I never thought that she'll die in my hands, but nature kicked in Patrick. I never did anything to her. She died...naturally." He said and right that moment I want to punch him.

"What do you want?! Let Chasity go, Matthew." Joe shouted.

"Ah! Well, since Mr. Stump had postponed the wedding...the time that Chasity will be with me will be extended too. I told you, I'm not letting her go unless you and Elaine are together...bonded by love, bonded by papers." He said and my temper is getting lower and lower. It was obvious he was mocking me.

"Give us another deal! I'd do everything just for her to be safe. Please." Despite all the anger I'm feeling, I'm still desperate here. I just want to save her.

"Hmmm. Another thing could work." He said with an evil smirk.

"Name it." Pete said. Matthew began to walk around Chasity who's still unconscious.

"You." He said while pointing at me. "Will be the drummer of the band and I will replace you as the vocalist. Fall Out Boy will be out of the break again and from then on...I'll drag your band down. You ruined this dream for me and I will ruin yours. It'll just be like before, guys. You are all the one's who always tell me that I'm talented, that I'll always be one of you, that we'll always be together. Fine then, accept me to the band...and let me ruin it step...by...step. Make me as your 'Band Prince' again...like you always call me back then." He said with a smirk.

I and the others exchanged looks. It looks like this will be the end of what we have build. Pete, Andy and Joe nodded at me. I don't want to do it...this will cost something precious to us...but I think its all worth it just to save Chasity. I faced him and when I was about to give him the answer he wants...Chasity laughed coldly.

Her hair is still covering her face and she was laughing in a cold way and it even gives me the creepy feeling.

We were just paralyzed there...staring at her. Looks like she has lost her sanity too.

*************

*Chasity's P.O.V.*

All this time I was conscious, but I remained motionless there...just trying to break free from being tied up in this chair.

I can't believe that Matthew will go this far just to ruin the band, but for all I know I won't let that happen. Maybe I do...but over my dead body.

I laughed at his plan...laughed at it like I've never laughed before. It sounds like I'm losing my sanity here, but this feels so good. I want to mock him more.

"Do you really think that it will be that easy to ruin the band's name? Do you realize what you're saying here, dear Matthew?" I said with my cold and emotionless voice and They were all staring at me in awe. I finally blew my hair off from her face and looked coldly at Matthew. "These people didn't only made the band...didn't only make songs and albums...they established their culture. The passion, the talent, the amazing fans are what's keeping the culture alive and do you know what that means, Matthew? This is not easy to ruin, most especially with someone puny as you. This is their culture, dear, and it's not easy to kill." I added with a lot of anger and proud in my voice.

I looked at Patrick and gave him a proud smirk. Matthew is going red from what I said, but he seemed lost for words.

"And by the way, they might have called you that...but accept it, I'm their BAND PRINCE now." I said and finally broke free from being tied. I quickly stood up and headbutt Matthew.

My head hurt so bad because I gave out my full force to hit him I'm the head. We both fell on the ground, but I pushed myself to stand up and run.

"RUN!" I shouted.

Patrick run towards me and pulled my arm as we run towards the exit of the place.

"That's one hell of a headbutt, Chas!" Joe shouted and we somehow laughed. The place is big and we're still running for the exit.

My body is really tired right now, but it can't collapse just yet. We need to get to safety before I can relax. But I don't know, I already feel safe when I with them.

"Thanks for coming to sa---

"Do you really think it'll be this easy to escape me?" We suddenly heard and everything turned upside down almost immediately. "Do you really think that I'll be letting this opportunity go to ruin your lives?!"

"Hurry!" Pete shouted. We continued to run, Patrick locked his hands on mine and gripped it tightly.

Just when I thought we can make it, just when I thought it'll all be fine...I heard a gunshot and right after that i felt a piercing pain that almost took my consciousness away almost immediately.

I wanted to grip onto Patrick's hand more, but I'm losing all my strength. Patrick looked at me in horror and I can't process what he's saying anymore.

One blink away, I was already on the floor, holding on to my life. I can hear all of their voices especially Chris and Patrick's voice. I want to speak, I want to talk to them but everything is already blacking out...slipping away from my hands just like Patrick's hold to my hand.

I tried to open my eyes, I can see all of them in front of me with blurry faces. I tried to speak, but only coughed out some blood. I can't take the pain anymore. My eyes involuntarily shut, but I can still hear their muffled shouts...desperately calling out my name for all I know.

I don't want to let go...but I don't know. My five step plan had gone so wrong, I messed up so bad and this is all where it ends.

Is this really where and how this should end?
