I finally got up from my pillow, but not because I wanted to. Abby texted me like, fifty times. I knew if I diddn't answer them, it would just get worse.

Hey Zoey

Hey Zoey

Hey Zoey

Hey Zoey

Hey Zoey

WHAT DO YOU WANT ABBY?!?!?!?

Sheesh girl, just wondering what you said

said to wat?

Daniel's date application, duh

Nobody 'Duh's me. Time to mess with her head.

What date application? Hes gonna ask me out?!

uhh no. ha! gotcha again.

DANIELS ASKING ME ON A DATE DANIELS ASKING ME ON A DATE

no, i was messing with you

It's ok, Abby, I know he is

Fine. He is.

He already did. I said yes.

EEEEEEE WE NEED T DRESS YOU UP

Uh, no. I'm fine thx

but we need hair, makeup, nails, jewelry

Bye Abby.

I turned off my wifi, so I don't know if shes texting me. This is my first date, and as a 13-year-old, I plan to make it a good one. I put on a teal blue short-sleeve shirt that read 'Free as the ocean waves'. I put on a pair of shorts, and fixed my hair in a ponytail.

I put on a small amount of makeup, and went downstairs.

Oh, great. My dad.

"Uh, hey dad"

He looked up to me.

"Zoey! How ya been? I havn't seen you in forever!"

"Ya, about a month or two, huh?"

"Feels like twice that. Anyway, how did ya like your tickets?"

"I L.O.V.E.D them!"

"Glad you liked them, but I gotta get to work. Bye sweety", he replied, walking outside. Well, that's our monthly talk. He's always working, and I'm always hanging out with friends. I'm fine with it, but it doesn't matter, cause it's not my choice. I wasn't even asked.

I grabbed my pocketbook, phone, and sponge. I put some water in it, because I have a feeling I was gonna need it. I put it in a Ziploc bag, and hid it in my pocketbook. I grabbed my jean jacket, and walked over to Starbucks. I was thinking if I was supposed to meet him there, or go to his house. Maybe I should have checked. Whoops.

Hey Daniel, almost there :)

See you there! I have a surprize...

oo! tell me tell me tell me!

I cant,sorry!

aww :(

Youll have to get here...

Fine! Give me five minutes!

Ok, see you in 5

I was about to reply 'See ya!', but there was a car following me. A black van. I have a feeling it's not the boys. I took off running, but even with my sneakers I couldn't outrun it forever. My only hope was to get to Starbucks in time.

I pulled out my phone to text someone, and got to Dylan first.

help kidnapp hwlp! starbuskc

I just managed to hit send before dropping my phone. I was about to collapse, when I saw the Starbucks sign glowing. It looked so close, but I knew I couldn't get there in time. In a split-second decision, I dropped my bracelet. My super duper extra lucky charm bracelet. Hopefully the girls will understand that this is where I got kidnapped. That was my last hope, light, and thought as I fell to the earth, unconscious.

What are we gonna do with her now?

Now, we go get the boss.

Oh, crud! Hurry, shes waking up!

The sound of a door slamming shut alarmed me, so I opened my eyes. I was in a stone room, looked like a basement. Lots of spiderwebs, and tons of spiders. It looked like an old jail cell was moved to an abandon houses' basement. Perfect spot for a kidnap. Well, at least I wasn't kidnapped by someone stupid.

Or maybe I was, because I had my pocketbook still on my shoulder. I took a look in it, and an evil grin spred across my face. I heard footsteps coming downstairs, so I quickly put my bag down behind me.

"Zoey! How nice to see you again"

I'd know that voice anywhere.

"Too bad I can't say the same thing back, Cole"

He stood in the doorway. Ugh. I hate him. We dated a year ago secretly, and he dumped me on my birthday. Reason? I couldn't cook good enough. I was barely thirteen!

"Wow, no need to be so harsh. Besides, you better start being polite"

I smirked. "You got another thing coming if you think for one second that I'll be polite to a no good lying smoothie stealing hobo!"

He blinked. Ya, I have another personality with jerks.

He bore his eyes into mine. "You think you can talk to me like that?! Vincent! Get the tool!"

I continued to watch him, confused, angry, and slightly afraid.

I was none of those when he brought out a iPhone and two sets of earplugs. Vincent gave the phone and a set of earplugs to Cole, and put his own pair in. Why in the world would he-

I fell down to the ground in pain, covering my ears. That was the worst noise I had ever heard. Imagine a chalkboard being scratched, a screaming, crying little girl, and glass being squeaked all in a annoying, hurtful pitch.

I kept willing for it to quit. It was about a minute before it did. Cole and Vincent were smirking in victory, while I had no intention to get up. I lay there, waiting for something to happen.

"Vincent, put these on that dresser, in her sight. Now, Zoey, " He got closer to the cell/cage, " Next time, Don't disrespect me"

He walked off, along with Vincent. I stayed on the floor. I watched a spider make a web under my little bed thing. I thought about my date with Daniel, how I may not ever get it. I did get the text out to Dylan. I hope she got it in time. Even if she did, nobody knows where I am.

I sighed in defeat. This is just one thing I would have to overcome.

I fell asleep, wondering what time it was.

When I woke up the next morning, I had forgotten where I was. I quickly remembered, and a feeling of dread washed over me. It had been at least five hours since I arrived. That leaves almost no hope of anyone knowing where I am. Great.

I checked out the lock, which looks like I needed a large key. A large, old timey key. Not something I could pick with a bobby pin.

I was seeing if anything could help me, when Cole walked back in. Instantly I backed to the back wall, seeing as he had the iPod at his disposal.

"Well, well, Zoey. Something wrong?", he said, smirking.

I replied with silence, my eyes bearing into his.

"Anyway, I need to figure out what to do with you. First though, here. I will be back in five minutes", he said, putting a bucket through a crack in the door.

~Five minutes later~

Cole walked back in, bringing a bowl of chicken soup.

"Here, hope you like chicken"

He left the bucket in my cell, and put the bowl in too. I sat criss cross on the bunk eating my soup, as he paced around.

"Anyway, I could keep you here, but it would do me no good. I could offer you for money, but that could put me in jail. I might could just give you back, but you would talk. You are a tricky girl"

"You'll get over it"

"Don't test me"

"Fine, fine"

"What I thought. Now, what should I do with you?"

"Why did you kidnap me?"

"Because I wanted something from you"

"Oh ya?"

"Ya, a kiss"

I diddn't know what to do. My brain did. I grabbed my bag from my purse and hid it behind my back.

"Cole, if I kiss you, and swear not to tell, will you let me go?"

"Well, maybe..."

"Cole"

"How do I know you won't run off?"

"Pa lese. As if I would get past your donut dudes"

"Ok, then cmon"

He unlocked the cell, and I walked up to him. I thought if I wanted to do this, but I knew I needed an escape plan. Either way, I could get out. I bit my lip. Do I want this?

 I diddn't really have a choice, as we both started to lean in. As soon as our lips locked, I dropped my bag, and pulled him closer. I realised I did need somebody. I felt all my emotions in a vortex, and this kiss is pulling my through the eye of the storm. All of my hate, love, anger, caring, sadness, and loneliness melted into a single kiss. He started to pull back, and looked down.

 "Zoey, is that a wet sponge?"

"Uh"

"You wern't gonna kiss me?!", he yelled. I moment of silence later he realised the truth. He pushed- yes pushed- into the cell, locking the door. He turned on the iPod, and walked out, leaving me to my punishment. I wouldv'e put my pocketbook on my head, but he took it. I lay there, for what felt like hours, unable to sleep because of that stupid iPod. I sat there, thinking if it was the right choice to kiss him. In a way, I feel like I gave away Dainiel's moment. I couldn't escape this nightmare, I truely felt trapped and hopeless. 

 I was stuck with sticking my head in my shirt, and trying to sleep before I cry. Eventually someone came to turn off the iPod. I slept for a while. When I couldn't sleep any longer, I made up songs. Things went like that for a while. Sleep, sing, think. Finally Vincent walked in.

"It has been three days. The boss asked if you would rather be set free right now, or have food and stay"

"Freedom"

I walked out, with a blindfold, and they drove me about a mile from the house.

"Leave"

Funny, that sounded like Cole.

I took off my blindfold, and noticed I was on a dirt road. Woods both ways. I started walking to the left. I really hope I can find people soon, otherwise I could thirst or starve. OH MY GOSH! I checked in my pocket for my wallet, and all I found was 20$! That's a lot more then normal. Heh, cool.

 I kept walking for about a hour, until finally I reached a gas station. It wasn't run down, it had about six cars in the parking lot. I walked in, and up to the register. 

 "Excuse me, can I use your phone?"

"Sure miss, please stay inside though"

"Ok", I replied, taking it. I dialed Daniels number, because he had a brother who could drive.

Ring ring ring

"Hello?", I heard his voice say. Exept it diddn't sound like him, it sounded like he hadn't slept in a week. That's almost how long I've been gone, I think.

"Daniel? It's Zoey"

"Zoey?!"

"Ya, please come pick me up. I'm at a gas station. I don't know exactly where I am, but don't worry. I'll try to get home soon, and I'll call you as soon as I can"

"But Zoey, how will you get home?"

"I don't know, but I will. Bye"

"But Zo-"

I hung up. It was rude, but I diddn't need him to worry.

"Thanks", I said, handing the man his phone back. I went over and got a water and two mini pizzas. After I payed, I had a total of 6.48$.

 I got on the rode again, walking. I was tired, yes, but I had picked up a map. Three miles until I reached the outskirts of my town.

Three miles closer to Daniel.

Three miles closer until I have to tell everyone what happened.

And I can't figure out how I get myself in these situations.

Or how to get myself out, either.
