___he just {wont} STOP ;;

[Michelle Duquette]

Michelle was sitting on the couch reading through her music, and she had a lot of it, she was also writing more music, since she wanted to get the band going again in the future sometime, so why not prepare. She was there alone, no one was with her and it was peaceful. She then stood up and walked over to the stereo to place a CD in there, her band's album. It played some songs and they were pretty good to. The one she kept playing was "I'm You Angel" which was a good rock song.

Then, she heard her cell phone ring and she paused the music and walked over to the table picking it up. Ryan is what it said on the caller ID. She then flipped open her phone and put it next to her ear. "Hey Ryan." Michelle said she leaned against the table where the stereo was. "Where are you? I'm at your apartment and-" There was a knock at the door. "Hold on Ryan, someone is at the door." She said as she walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole. He looks familiar... Michelle thought. But where?

Anyway, she unlocked the door and opened it. "Hello. Can I help you?" She asked. Lee looked at her and smirked. "Hey Michelle." He responded. Michelle got a little freaked out on how he knew her name. "Hey Ryan.." She began speaking into the phone. "Did you send someone over here?" She asked. "Oh, is that Ryan?" Lee asked. "He did, actually, just to make sure you got here safely, let me talk to him." He said pushing Michelle in and grabbing the phone, closing and locking the doors. "Hello Ryan, how you doing buddy?" He asked smirking, as he pulled out a gun. "Hold on a sec." He then shot the wall, he had another gun, who's? Probably a friend. The bullet hit the wall and Michelle screamed in fear. "Go sit down Michelle." Lee said gently pushing her towards the couch. "So Ryan, where are you? You tried to warn her but obviously it was too late."

[Ryan Duquette]

Please be alright, Michelle. Ryan thought as he waited for his sister to pick up the phone, meanwhile driving to the apartment. Thankfully the apartment wasn't a long drive from Lee Heng's house, maybe 15 minutes at the most.

"Michelle!" he said the second he heard her answer the phone, relief showing in his voice. Thank God. "We're on the way home right now... but, Michelle, listen to me... whatever you do don't..." his sentence was cut off by her saying that someone was at the door. No! No! Stop! "Michelle! Don't!" He was sure she wasn't able to hear him since he could hear her talking to someone else, and that damn voice was unmistakably Lee's. Son of a...

"No! Michelle," he started when she asked if he had sent someone over. Before he had a chance to explain, Lee had taken the phone and made it sound as if they where friends or something. "Leave her the hell alone!" he snapped, picking up a bit of speed in the car -- allowing it to go a very little bit over the speed limit. "I'm gonna fucking kill you if you even touch her!" he told him, also for a second not paying attention to the fact that Kim was in the car at the time; he couldn't really remember the last time she'd seen him act this way.

I should have pulled the damn trigger and shot Lee when I had a chance.

[Michelle Duquette]

Michelle looked at Lee as he talked to Ryan, very very scared. So, when Michelle got home, this is what happened. "Ryan!" She called out, with fear. "Hur-" She was caught off when Lee suddenly pushed her onto the couch. "Shut up, I'm talking to him." Lee said looking to him. "W-what is he telling you!?" She asked. "Just how he sent me over to check on you, knowing how dangerous I was. As if he put you in danger. Can you believe that?" Lee said with a smirk. "I don't believe you!!" She yelled.

"Calm down Ryan, you know acting mad and tough gets you into bad positions, I would never hurt Michelle, we go all the way back to New York." He said smirking to her, with a wink. Michelle stared at him, really confused on how they knew each other. "What do you mean?" She asked, with fear. Lee turned to her. "Does the name Lee Heng, ring a bell?" He asked. Michelle thought about it and then she looked up at him, shocked. "Lee!" She said.

Kim heard Ryan's fear and feared the worst. "Lee got there!? How!?" Kim asked, it was like she was being ignored but inderstood since Ryan concentrated on Ryan. Then he really got angry, forgetting she was there. "Ryan..." She softly said to him, grabbing onto his hand. "We'll get there and it will be alright..." Kim said to him. Michelle, you'll be okay...we'll do everything we can do help...

[Ryan Duquette]

"Stop lying to her you son of a bitch!" Ryan snapped at Lee, after hearing the criminal telling Michelle that he had sent him over to check on her, and that he put her in danger. He's not going to stop. I've got to do something to put an end to this...

"Sure. Like I believe you." he growled when Lee said that he'd never hurt Michelle. "If you have any idea what's good for you, don't hurt her... don't even touch her." he warned Lee, actually sounding pretty damn threatening. "And you remember what I said outside that house? Don't think I'm kidding." he added, talking about when he told Lee that he'd kill him if he bothered Michelle.

He heard Kim say something about Lee being at the apartment, but ignored her. Right then, Lee had pushed him to far and push anyone far enough; they're going to snap. Thankfully traffic wasn't to bad, making it easy for them to get to the apartment building. Pulling into the parking lot, he just stopped the Hummer in front of the apartment. "You've just declared war, buddy." he mumbled into the phone at Lee before ending the phone call.

At that very moment, he was hellbent on revenge and wasn't paying full attention to what he was doing. "Damn it, Kim. Not now!" he snapped when she tried to calm him down. Without another word to her, he reached over and opened the passengers side grove compartment in the vehicle before grabbing a Revolver gun; a back-up gun he always had in the car incase of emergency. "He's pushing it to far and I'm going to end it right now." he mumbled before quickly getting out of the vehicle and slamming the door behind him and heading toward the apartment building; not listening to anything Kim might have said.

[Michelle Duquette]

"Y-you're Christina's uncle..." She said and Michelle could hear Ryan yell at the other end of the phone. "Lee, please let me go! I havn't done anything!!" Michelle said to him with fear, not knowing what else to say at the moment, just staring at him and wondered if Ryan was here. "Lee, are you...gonna hurt me?" Michelle asked looking at him, shaking a little bit not knowing what was gonna happen at all. "Damnit Ryan! Shut it!" Lee said, angrily. "You're pushing it way to much Ryan!" He said, then he looked to Michelle. "Depends on Ryan," Lee said chuckling.

"Her safety depends on your actions, Ryan." Lee said, growling. "Stop threatening Ryan, you a coward, all you do is talk and try to act tough but it gets you nowhere." He said, evily. Smirking, Lee walked over to Michelle and patted her shoulder. "Hey Ryan, I'm touching her, just giving a friendly pat on the shoulder." Smirking, he squeezed it a little . "Ow!" Michelle yelled moving back. "War? Guess what, I've won the battle and I'm gonna win the war." He said laughing as he closed the phone.

Kim immediately moved her hand when Ryan snapped at her out of anger, shocked at why he did that. Without saying anything she reached inside her purse to pull out her own gun, loading it. "Ryan, wait!" Kim said, running out of the car to him. "You end this, by killing him, then you'll end to!" Kim said to him. "Just...think for right now...we can't do any rash things..." Kim said looking at him. "Ryan..think about it.."

[Ryan Duquette]

Ryan stopped walking for a second when Kim tried talking to him about it, at that moment he felt nothing but rage. "I don't want to think about it, Kim. You think about this; he had a gun on you and pulled the trigger, if he hadn't used the last two bullets in my gun by shooting the wall and pulling a bullet though your friend's shoulder... he would have killed you. Now he's holding my sister hostage. He's pushed this little game to far and I don't care what I have to do to make it end." he added harshly before walking toward the apartment building again, only to hear Kim tell him to think about it again "I already did. This is going down, no matter what you try to do to stop it."

Game over, Lee. he thought as he finally made it into the apartment building, taking the back door and using the stairs since it was the (surprisingly) quickest way for him to get up to his apartment on the fifth floor. Pull the trigger and this whole situation with Lee can be over.

If someone who didn't know the whole story, they would have thought he had lost it; Hell, he wasn't so sure he hadn't. He had finally reached his apartment door, only to find that he had forgotten his keys in the car. Damn it! "Hey, Buddy! Open the damn door!" he yelled though the door to Lee, pounding his fist against the wooden door. Don't think. Pull the trigger and this mess can finally end.

[Michelle Duquette]

Kim glared at Ryan, with anger and upset-ness. "Look at yourself Ryan!" Kim said stepping in front of him. "You've turned into a monster, an angry monster. You are scaring me Ryan which you have never done that before. Look at yourself Ryan, you're becoming someone I don't know." Kim said pushing him aside, a bit harshly as she ran up the stairs and towards his apartment room.

Kim slowly walked passed the door to quietly and slowly look in the window seeing Lee and Michelle. Then, Ryan began to bang on the door. "Ryan!" Kim said yelling at him. "You are such an idiot!" She said. "Your brother is here, and by making me this mad he might see you a bit hurt." Lee said smirking. "Or, vise versa." Lee turned his gaze to the door and moved his aim. "Ryan, it does end here!" He said cocking the gun. Kim's eyes went wide. "Ryan!" She screamed as she ran over to him and pushed him from the door, making both of them fall to the ground. Lee shot at the door, barley missing both of them. Kim had her face in his shoulder as the bullets flew by, laying on top of him, holding onto him protectively. She saved both of their lives.

Michelle quickly got up and pushed Lee making him trip over the table, dropping the gun. With that, she ran towards the door and opened it, running out. "Ryan! Kim!" Kim immidiately got up and ran to Michelle, pushing her out of the way allowing more bullets to fly by. "Run Michelle! Go!" She said drawing her gun, running into the room. "Stay still Lee!" Called Kim, but Lee came from her side and grabbed the gun causing the gun to shoot, bullets flying into the wall. He pushed her out of the room and grabbed her gun and immediately ran out of the room, in the direction Michelle did.

[Ryan Duquette]

"What do you want me to do, Kim? Stand by and let everything fall apart? I'm doing what I should have done before," He'd never acted this way before. Never. And actually, it scared him a little bit. He watched as Kim pushed past him. Act now. Talk to her later. Any other time, when he was thinking normally, he would have tried to stop Kim... but he beyond a doubt wasn't 'normal' right now.

Before he had a chance to do or say anything, he felt Kim collide into him -- knocking him off balance since he wasn't excepting the hit. Thankfully they both hit the ground just in time when Lee shot though the door, the bullets barely missing them on the ground. Thank you, Kim. He would have killed me.

He quickly got back up after Kim ran over to Michelle. "Get out of here, Michelle. Now." he told her as well, after making sure she was going to listen and run he turned to go into the room just in time for Lee to run out and run in the same direction as Michelle.

"Damn it, Lee," he mumbled under his breath before quickly deciding to run after them, gun already drawn. This guy needs to stop this already. Can't he just leave us alone?

[Michelle Duquette]

Michelle continued to run around the apartments, stopping and leaning against the wall to catch her breathe. Then, she heard footsteps and she ran towards the stairs close to her and ran down, seeing Lee running after her. He cocked his gun and shot but kept missing, causing Michelle to scream. Kim was also running, and hearing gunshots she also ran down the stairs. "Michelle!?" She called out. Breathing hard. then, she heard her scream and continued to run seeing her by the pool gate. "Michelle! Come on!" She said as she ran over to her and grabbed Michelle's hand and began to run again.

"Michelle, go find Ryan! I'll hold Lee off! Go and don't stop!" Kim said as she watched Michelle run up the stairs. "I hope I make it.." Kim said before switching direction, not running towards Lee. Turning the corner, she collided with Lee only to have them fall to the ground, causing Lee to sit in her legs and wrap his hands on her neck. "Kim!" Michelle called. "Go get.,..Ryan!" Kim called to her. Lee growled. "I'll kill you right now Kim!" Lee said, forcing more weight down.

Michelle ran faster. "Ryan!?" She called out, fear and worry filling her voice and body. Without paying attention, she ran right into Ryan after turning the corner, almost losing her balance. "Ryan!" Michelle said. "Lee is about to kill Kim!" Michelle said, getting a cold shudder. Kim had began to cough, hardly being able to breathe. Her hands went to Lee's shoulder trying to push him off but she was losing air and losing strength. "Hurry Ryan!" Michelle said to him.

[Ryan Duquette]

What the hell am I doing? I'm losing it. Kim's right. Ryan had some how turned a corner in the hall way, losing track of where Lee had run to. There's got to be another way... where the hell did they go?

He was just about to turn another corner when he heard footsteps, following by Michelle colliding into him. "Michelle!" he said, stepping backwards a little and grabbing her shoulder lightly to make sure that she didn't lose her balance. "You ok? Where is..." his sentence was cut show when Michelle said that Lee was about to kill Kim. "Where are they?" he asked her.

Hold on, Kim. It'll be alright. He stopped for a spilt second; Lee was choking Kim. "Hey, Lee!" he started, aiming the gun at Lee. "How about this? You get off her and let her go right now or I'll shoot you. And I'm not just 'trying to be the hero' this time."

[Michelle Duquette]

Michelle followed Ryan to where Kim was, standing right behind him. "Kim..." She said, wanting to go over there and help but not get in the way and make it worse. "Shoot him..." She said quietly. "Let her go, Lee!" Michelle said yelling at him, stepping next to Ryan. "Christina doesn't know what you have turned into does she?" Michelle asked, staring at him. "Let her go!" She yelled.

Lee was still on Kim holding her neck until he noticed Ryan and Michelle. Seeing the gun aimed at him he stayed still and glared at Ryan. "Not trying to be the hero? Yeah you are." He said, growling. "Kim can't breathe too good, don't make it worse.." He said, reaching to his back pocket. Kim looked over to Ryan and back to Lee still trying to breathe. Quickly, he pulled out his knife and put the tip on Kim's neck, ready to stab her, he then put the knife in the air and smirked bringing it back down towards Kim.

Michelle yelled. "Kim!" She yelled as she ran towards them, staying out of Ryan's aiming path.

[Ryan Duquette]

"Come on, Lee, listen to Michelle. Let her go. You really don't want to do this..." I really don't want to do this anymore. "Just let her go and go away. Please," he said, gun aimed at Lee's head, ready to shot but for some reason he couldn't seem to bring himself to pull the trigger. Just do it. He's going to kill Kim and your hesitating?

Then Lee brought out a knife and was about to stab Kim, who was having a hard time breathing as is. And on top of it all, Lee was smirking -- as if the idiot was enjoying this whole thing. No! Without a single word, he quickly changed the gun's aim and pulled the trigger -- the bullet hitting Lee in the lower shoulder instead.


[[ Sorry, really short post on my part. I couldn't think of anything else to write just yet, lol ]]

[Michelle Duquette]

Michelle suddenly stopped after hearing the gunshot, and seeing the bullet fly passed her and into Lee's shoulder. Lee screamed. "Damn it!" He yelled falling to the side, bleeding. Trying his hardest, using his other arm he grabbed the gate and stood up. "I've had enough of you all!" Lee said as he ran, limping from the pain, blood dripping to the ground as he ran as fast as he could.

Michelle ran over to Kim. "Kim!" She helped her sit up and slowly rubbed her back and neck to help her relax so she can breathe. Kim was coughing as was taking in deep breathes to try and catch her breathe. Her eyes watered, her throat hurt and she sat there with Michelle. "I'm...okay.." She said quietly, taking deep breathes in between. Her eyes closed as she continued to cough. Eyes watched as Lee ran away. "No..damn it.." She said slowly standing up, but stumbling back down, sitting down. "Take it easy Kim...relax for a little while.." Michelle said sitting next to Kim, looking over to Ryan.

Kim closed her eyes and then opened them looking over to Ryan, eyes narrowed as a sincere yet upset look. "Thanks," She said to Ryan, not with love nor happiness but with upset-ness in her voice. Michelle looked to Ryan and stood up, as a motion for him to talk to her but Kim slowly stood up. "I'll...be in the apartment..." Kim said, slowly walking up the stairs, holding onto the sides, tearing in the eyes a little. Michelle leaned against the gate."Thanks a bunch Ryan "Michelle said walking up to him, giving him a hug before, slowly walking away."You saved my life." Michelle said smiling to him. Kim slowly walked towards the room.

[Ryan Duquette]

Ryan paused, watching as Lee stood up and ran out, limping from the pain. This isn't over. He'll be back. It won't be over until he's gone... for good. He slowly lowered the gun, letting his arm fall to his side as he watched Michelle run over to Kim and helped her sit up.

He knew that she was upset with him by that look. That was completely cleared up when she said 'thanks' with a upset tone clear in her voice. "Yeah..." he forced a unsure smile, not completely sure what to say. He didn't really say anything when Kim said that she'd be in the apartment and walked up the stairs. I screwed up.

"I'm just glad your alright." he replied when Michelle thanked him and gave him a quick hug before walking away. He smiled weakly when she said that he saved her life. I should go talk to Kim. he thought before heading up the stairs and to the apartment.

Sighing somewhat, he pushed open the apartment door and walked inside. "Hey," he started as soon as he seen Kim. "You ok?" he added, some concern showing in his voice. "I'm sorry about that... that scene outside. I don't know what I was doing..." he finally said, talking about his 'freak out' outside and snapping at Kim for just trying to calm him down.

[Kim Everette]

Kim made her way to 815, Ryan's apartment. Sighing, she walked inside, hand on her neck, still trying to catch her breathe. Then, Ryan came behind her and she frowned, staring at the ground as he talked. Kim felt bad for getting mad at him but again, she had a reason to be. "Yeah, I'm fine.." Kim asked taking a deep breathe. "How about you?" She quietly asked him, silence filled the air. They hadn't really done this before, fought or stayed quiet with eachother, they were always talking to each other and whatnot.

Kim heard him apologized and she continued to have her back to him. "It's fine...and I know.." Kim replied, the 'I know' was when he said he didn't know what he was doing. "Ryan, anytime I try to help, be it physically or mentally, you push me away.." Kim said, looking over to him. "I tried to help you when you were hostage, you said no and pushed me away, I try to console you about this whole thing and you yell and push me away." She said, still having a frown on her face. "We never did this to each other...being in this relationship we have to work together, we can't fight. I don't like fighting with you because it hurts." Kim said, walking closer to him. "We never used fight or anything, you can't keep pushing me away when I try to help, because we have to help each other." Kim said to him, with a slight smile.

Kim did give speeches but they were right and did have a point. She still did breathe a little slow but would be okay and then her stomach began to hurt and she put a hand to it, it wasn't a stomach ache but more like a burning or aching wound. And, she realized what it was. The scar..Ryan doesn't know about it... Kim thought to herself, she had received a large scar back in New York and never told Ryan, but Zac knew. "I'm gonna...go lay down.." She said slowly walking up the steps, hand to her stomach.

Walking into Ryan's room, she sat on the bed and looked on his desk that was next to his bed,a picture of their first kiss. Smiling, she stared at it, having her back to the door. Remembering that day and moment. "Ryan...I love you..."Kim said quietly, but most likely loud enough for Ryan to hear, not sure if he did though, she smiled at the picture.
