Kirstie's P.O.V.

The door to the room I was locked in opened, and Troye roughly threw Mitch inside, causing him to fall to the ground.

"So I heard that you've been sleeping around you little slut," Troye said, his voice quiet but intensely terrifying.

Mitch cowered, looking like an abused puppy on the ground. Amazingly, Mitch hadn't noticed that I was in the room. I frantically thrashed and writhed, effectively getting his attention. His jaw dropped open.

"Troye are you insane? Kidnapping Kirstie? You could get arrested for this!"

He scoffed. "Well you were out fucking other guys last night, and not to mention you told this bitch about us. I told you what would happen if you ever told anybody." Troye slowly stepped forward, glaring down at Mitch.

"But I didn't-"

"Shut up!" Troye yelled, delivering a swift kick to Mitch's ribcage. "I told you! How many times did I tell you not to tell anyone?"

He shakily got to his feet. "I didn't tell her!"

Troye lunged for Mitch, pinning him against the wall. Sweat from trying escape dripped down my face, making the adhesive of the duct tape weaken. After a few more seconds, I was able to work it completely off.

"Leave him alone!" I screamed.

Troye glared at me, pressing his arm against Mitch's throat.

"How does it feel to know that you caused this? Why couldn't you just mind your own business?"

Mitch writhed as he tried to get a breath of fresh air, but Troye pushed against his throat harder, crushing his windpipe.

"You don't have that little blonde dog here to save you now," he laughed, his face close to Mitch's purple one.

Mitch struggled for another second, then went limp, his eyes closed. Troye pulled his arm away and let Mitch's body fall to the floor with a thud.

I fought against the ropes, ignoring the flaring pain that went across my wrists.

"And what about you princess?" He snarled, walking towards me. "Where's your knight in shining armor? Avi, right?"

I felt the tears start to well up in my eyes, and I blinked, not caring if they rolled all the way down my face.

"He's not going to come."

He raised his eyebrows. "Why not? He get tired of you?"

"H-he...he doesn't want me anymore. He doesn't care what happens to me."

Troye laughed. "I can't blame him. I mean, look at you."

I sniffled. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're obviously not the prettiest flower in the garden, and, I'm not going to lie, you could lay off the food."

"You-you think I'm fat?"

"Uh, yeah. It doesn't matter though. No one will ever have to see you again."

For what felt like the millionth time, he brought his knuckles flying into the side of my head, and stars danced in front of my eyes before I blacked out.

Scott's P.O.V.

The loud ringing of my phone woke me up from my nap. I grabbed it quickly, more than a little disappointed when I saw that it was Avi. Kirstie was supposed to call me this morning, and it was now 3:45.

"Hello?"

"Scott! Have you heard anything from Kirstie?"

"No. No calls, no texts, no nothing. You?"

"Nothing. I've called her like a million times, but it keeps going straight to voicemail. I think it's dead."

"Maybe she's just taking more time with Mitch's surprise than she planned."

"I guess. I don't know, I'm really worried. I mean, even in past fights, she's always answered my calls so we could talk it out."

"I'm sure she's not still mad Avi."

"I really hope not. Alright, Kevin needs me to help him with a cake he's making."

"What's the cake for?" I asked, intrigued at the mention of food.

"Well today is actually the day that Kev and I met, so it's kind of like a friendship anniversary cake."

"That's so cute! Save me some!"

"Definitely. Call me if you hear from Kirstie, alright?"

"I will. Bye Avi."

"Bye."

I hung up and plugged my phone back in, sticking my hand in the bowl of pizza rolls.

I wish that Mitch hadn't gone this morning. I didn't even know how long he was going to be gone for. I had really messed, making him choose between me and Troye.

But he had said that he didn't even love Troye. I don't understand why he left...

I guess I'll just have to wait and see how everything turns out. Better not bug him while he's at Troye's. I don't even want to know what they're doing...
