Ariel's POV

God!

What did they inject in me? Whatever it is, it's definitely not good cause I kept me asleep for about 12 hours... I think,  cause It's already night.

I wonder if the others realize that I'm gone cause it seems like none of them have come to get me.

This place is awful. I don't like it, and on top of that, I'm very hungry. They haven't given me anything to eat since morning. Do they want me to die?

I sit, with my head rested on the wall as I wait to get rescued.

I wonder how Andree will be feeling. Does he even care that I'm kidnapped? Is he making efforts to look for me? Does he even care?

And Zach of course. He must be so worried too.

I keep waiting, staring at the small basement window when I hear sound of keys dangling.

The door shot open, when the ugly guy came in. I really need to get his name.

"Well, well, well, the Sleeping Beauty awakes," He said with a smirk, walking towards me, then takes a seat in front of me.

"Just so you know, your face makes me cringe," I said with an eye roll.

"And your voice makes me cringe" He shot back.

The door opened again, revealing the two look alike who I think are brothers.

One of them is holding a plate of food which definitely caught my eyes. I try to take my eyes off it but I just couldn't.

He places the plate in front of me and I reach to dig in, but freeze when I realize that all their eyes already one me.

I gave a frustrated sigh then glare and each and every one of them "Do you mind?" I glared at them all then turn back to the food. As I'm about to take a spoon of the rice, the ugly guy's phone.

A smirk makes it's way to his face. then he turned to me "What?" I asked.

"Would ya see who's texting me?" He said and turned his phone, facing me.

I look at the name of the texter, which said, Liza. Liza?

"Now, If you'll excuse me, I have to go, you both sit here," He said. and warned the two guys then left.

I turn my gaze back to the food then started eating and thinking.

Why would Liiza text him? Is she the reason behind all this?

I taught I could trust her. I forgave her the first time she made a mistake, thinking she regrets it but... All this says otherwise. 

What if I'm just being really paranoid, I mean, Liiza will never do such a thing, would she? I feel betrayed right and I really don't know what to do about it. One half of me still trusts Liiza, but the other part suspects her.

"Man, you must be hungry" The younger looking one commented.

"What can I do? You guys starved me all day" I shot.

"Yeah... Sorry, but... What's your name?" The elder one asked.

"I'm Ariel, what are our names?" I asked, stretching my hand forward.

"I'm Jonas and he's Larry" He replied and shook my hand. I shake the other one's hand then went back to eating. 

It's so funny how they kidnapped me and don't know my name.

"It's because Lester didn't tell us. He just ordered us" Larry answered. My eyes widened when I realize that I taught out loud but I just nodded.

So that's his name. 

We all sit quietly, the only sound coming from the plate when I finally decided to talk "What are you guys doing here, kidnapping people. I mean, you seem nice"

"We have no choice. We used to live in the streets until Lester found us and offered us a job, which is this. We will have still been on the street right now if not for him" Jonas said, referring to the kidnapping job.

"If you want, you could get me out of here, in exchange for me to help you guys" I offered, hoping for them to say yes but they just shake their heads.

"We'd rather be honest and continue this work, Lester will kill us if we leave and we have no where to go" Jonas said.

I gave a sigh and push the plate away from me since its already finished,  then rest my head on the wall again.

We continue to talk for a few minutes until the door open again and so called Lester steps in.

"It seems like you won't be going home anytime soon Sleeping Beauty" He said with a smirk. "Your dear friend wants me to get rid of you and get you out of her life so...  I guess this is your end" He shrugged.

"What!" I frown and got up "L- Liiza. W-Why would she want that? You're lying" I stuttered.

For the first time since I came here I'm feeling defeated, I'm feeling sick and scared. I mostly feel betrayed.

Why would Liiza's want that? What have I ever done to her?

Maybe I have hurt her in the past with all the who loves Andree more thing but I apologized for that. Is this her taking revenge on me?

Does she hate me that much, that she wants me dead already? I hate that I have done a lot of bad things in the past but... I changed.

The day I was taken out of the school, the words that Andree spat at me when breaking up with me hurt me badly.

I could never forget about that words of his. I never taught that the break up will hurt me that much. It changed me.

It made me developed feeling for Andree that I had to come back. But I was too late, cause he's already with Liiza.

"She wants to meet you before you leave tho so get ready to meet her tomorrow and I will get ready to get my money" He added "You guys come with me" He said and started walking straight.

Larry takes the plate from in front of me then gives me a sad smile followed by Jonas.

They head out and Jonas was about to close the door, but I called and stopped him.

"What?" He asked.

"Can I get something to sleep on? The ground is uncomfortable" I said.

He nodded, then headed out, closing the door. He then came back a few minutes later, giving me a huge cover and a pillow. 

He walked back to the door after saying Good Night then stopped and looks at me for a second then closed the door.

I guess this really is the end.

Liiza's POV

Today is the day. I have to do this no matter what.

I have to meet the guy with no backing out.

After half an hour of thinking, I finally get off the bed and headed to shower, then got ready and met the others for breakfast.

Skylar is in the kitchen while Andree and Hayden are trying up the place. Surprising.

"Good Morning you guy. Sorry I over slept" I said.

"It's OK,  how are you feeling?" Skylar asked.

"I'm fine" I said, then proceeded to the kitchen and start helping her with the breakfast.

"What's the time?" I asked the boys.

"12:23" Andree replied, sitting on the chair.

12? Did I sleep for that long?

I have to leave to meet Ariel. I have to get an excuse to leave the house. If I. Don't leave now, my plan will be ruined. They have planned to go get Ariel around 2pm,  so I have to leave now.

I have to do whatever it takes to complete this plan and make it work. It's my only way out of this mess.

I stay in the kitchen with Skylar for 10 more minutes and after the breakfast is done, we all seat on the dinning then started eating the rice.

I eat the fastest there. I obviously get weird looks from the rest of them, after I'm done, I got up and took my plate to the kitchen then headed to the room and got my bag ready.

After packing everything, I take a bag that will fit 10, 000 in it then walked out.

"Guys, before we leave to get Ariel, I have to go out and get a few things so I will be back" I said and hurried to the door.

"Wait" Andree called, making me freeze then he walked toward me.

Please don't ask where I'm going

Please don't ask where I'm going

Please don't ask where I'm going

"Can you get me all these on your way back please?" He asked, handing me a list.

"Y- Yeah, sure" I smiled and took it from his hand then headed out.

The moment the door shut close, I rest my head on the door and gave a deep sigh.

My phone dinged, revealing a message from the guy.

Guy- You coming or what?

Me- Be right there

I got into the elevator really fast, then after we're down I got a taxi and went left.

Just in case we don't get lost, I used the location treaker on my phone as the taxi driver drives.

2 limited before we reach the place, my stomach starts crunching. I can't believe I'm doing this.

"Were here" He said. I looked out the window and saw a house. It seems like its being repainted.

I handed the driver his money then started walking towards the house.

I approached the house, then stop in the middle of the side walk.

💘💘💘💘💘

I should probably get going! I can't do this anymore. This is messed up.

"Come on! Get In" The guy said, pushing Ariel in.

She looks so devastated and her hands are tied together with a rope. I feel so bad for her.

Right now, I' in the house. I told the guy that until he let's me meet Ariel and talk to her, I will not give him the money.

He hardly agreed to that though, clearly he's not as stupid as I taught. He brough into an empty room, with nothing in it.

I step forward to walk to her but realized that he's watching so I stay put.

"I wanna talk to her in private" I said.

He gave me and annoyed look then started walking out the door "You better not try anything"

After a few seconds, I looked back at Ariel then started walking towards her.

"Stop," She put her hands forward to stop me from approaching  her "Don't you dare touch me. Don't act so nice with me, I know everything" She added.

"Ariel, you're getting me-" I started but she cuts me off again.

"Don't talk to me Liiza, I trusted you, I hid the fact that you tried to get me raped from everyone and didn't say anything, thinking you regreted but all this... Liiza you betrayed me so bad. I've never felt so betrayed like I do now" She said with tears pouring out of her eyes.

"Ariel I swear I-" I said but she still doesn't let me talk.

"I said don't talk to me" She moved back.

"Shut up Ariel and listening to me" I snapped "I did all this only to come and get you. I have a plan to get you out of here so If you would just listen to me and keep your mouth shut, that will be amazing" I said in a low voice "I got you into this, now I have to get you out" I added, sadly.

"What?" She frown, and I nodded, then proceeded to lose her tied hands "So you did not plan all this?" She asked again.

I nodded then hugged her. We both hugged for a few minutes, till I realized that we're not in a safe place.

"Now is not the time to be emotional. We have to get out of here" I said, then looked around and spotted a wondow.

I pulled her with me, then we walked over to the window and reach to push it open but an alarm went on.

I cursed under my breath and before I could react any way, the door shut open and the guy came in.

"Since when did you become so smart?" I snapped at him then stamped my feet "I taught I was smarter"

"I swear the guy is ugly" Ariel rolled her eyes "Somehow every time I see him, I cringe"

"You keep blabbering all the time, can't you shut up" He snapped back "Sit right there" He said, pointing a gun at us.

"We will but can you shut the awful sound?" Ariel said.

He took out a remote from his pocket and stop the sound then brought his attention back to us.

"You keep trying to outsmart me... Look, you give me my money you can leave and If I don't get my money, you all die" He shrugged and walked around us.

"What's up with you and money... I didn't give you the money because you didn't do what I told you to do and I changed my mind. Get over it. It's past" I rolled my eyes at him.

"It's useless talking to him. He's one of that people that never get over things. I'm sure he remembers the day his ex cheated on him" Ariel said "Oh wait, an ugly guy like that probably doesn't even have an ex"

The way we're criticizing the guy is too much... I'm starting to feel bad for him honestly.

"You guy have-" He started, but stopped mud sentence when sirens came bursting through our ears.

"How... How do they know about this place" He walked around then his face dropped on me "You..." He pointed at me "You betrayed me" He said.

I just smirked at him but he didn't even wait to do anything. He took the bag with the money in it and started running.

I look at Ariel wide eyed, then we both got up and tried to catch him, but he already reached the door.

We can't let him escape so easily. All my plan will be for nothing. Even though I got to save Ariel, I still have to get him caught.

"Not so fast Les" A voice said, then two guys came in front, and stopped him.

"Larry, Jonas, we have to get going, the cops are here" He said trying to run but the older looking guy pushed him down.

"Larry! Jonas, Thank You!" Ariel said and went towards them.

"I helped you guys and you betray me like this" He asked, and started getting up.

Two police constables came in and out a hand cuff on him,  then pulled him out.

Rodger then came in and spotted me. He was about to take the two guys too but Ariel stopped him.

"They hepled us. Please let them go" She pleaded. He first looked at me to confirm so I nodded.

"You two OK?"  Rodger asked.

"Y Yeah, we're fine" Ariel answered.

I saw Andree fast walking towards us with a worried face. I open my arms to hug him, little did I know I was gonna get siked.
