Harry's POV

it's noon right now and my family is on the beach. Addy still hasn't texted me and I'm beginning to get worried about what's going on. everyone looked so scared last night and my mom wouldn't tell me who called her mom.

I've basically been pacing around the camper all day. when I texted Addy she read it but never replied.

a knock at my camper door took me out of my thoughts. I walk to the door and open it only to see Landon standing there.

"uh hey." I say stepping outside the camper

"hey"

"so you wanna tell me what the hell is going cause nobody is telling me anything and I'm worried" I ramble

"okay look. if I tell you this you cannot tell her I told you. I promised I wouldn't but I think you deserve to know considering the current situation you guys are in" she says

I nod as a reply and she continues.

"Addy's dad called her mom last night. he was suppose to be in jail but apparently got out from good behavior. keep in mind we haven't heard from him since Addy was twelve. the last time she saw him was when he almost killed her and he basically told her that if he ever saw her again he would kill her. last night on the phone he said that he knew where we were. and he said he's coming tonight and he will find us. I need you to stay with your family at all times and do not go anywhere close to her. I know you want to protect her but you can't. you'll get hurt and I don't know what's gonna happen but she's staying inside the camper all day today. if he finds her he will hurt her. if he doesn't kill her, h-he'll uhhm. he'll beat her. which will be the eleventh time. we thought the tenth would be the last time but I'm not sure. so just be careful, please. but yeah that's what's going on" she lets out a deep sigh from talking so long

"well damn. but why isn't she answering my texts?"

"are you dumb? she scared out of her fucking mind and I don't even know if she could type out a full sentence from the way her hands are shaking" she almost yells

"sorry, I'm just scared for her" I reply quietly

"I know. we all are, but we've gone through this a million times so we know how it feels. the best thing you can do is just let her be and then tomorrow text her and see if she's okay."

"okay, thank you for telling me"

"you're welcome. now don't worry yourself too much. if he doesn't find her everything will be okay." she smiles "I gotta go before she gets suspicious. bye" and then she walks away

I walk back into my camper and sit down. it's nice to know what's going on but the fact that she might get hurt tonight by that man makes my blood boil. nobody gets to hurt my girl.

but at the same time I can't do a damn thing about it. that drives me insane.

Addy's POV

scared? understatement.

more like terrified or worse. I thought that all this was over, but it's not. I need to get out of this camper but if I leave I risk a lot.

I sit up and go into the living room area of the kitchen.

"mom can I just step on the beach for like two seconds and then come back? I'm going crazy in this camper."
