VERONICA MERRELL

I start to panic and hot tears spill out my eyes. I don't know what they will do to me or Ethan. How could Aaron do this? While i was with him he never seemed to be the type that would do this or maybe he was just faking his whole personality to be with me.

The door opens again and Aaron comes in with another man. The other man shuts the door again. "When is he bringing him?" Aaron asks the other man and he replies "in 2 minutes". "So how are you doing Veronica?" Aaron asks while smiling slyly. " what the fuck is wrong with you?" I say with my voice filled with disdain. He gets mad and comes up to me. He lifts his arm and slaps me hard across the face. I feel a sharp sting where he hit me.

"Watch your tone with me, slut" he says holding my face and then lets go when I whimper at his tight grip. The door opens and a man throws someone on the floor beside. " Ethan! Ethan are you ok? What did they do to you" i say to Ethan, lying there tied up as well. He groans from pain when the cold floor hits his body. "Veronica, I'm fine are you hurt?" he says.

"Shut it both of you" Aaron says through gritted teeth and we both go quiet. "Now there's something you both need to do for me" he says in a calm manner like he hadn't just kidnapped two people. " We're not doing shit for you asshole " Ethan says angrily. Aaron looks at one of the other man and he hits Ethan harshly with the stick and I scream and beg for him to stop. " don't you understand the meaning of shut it" Aaron says in a sarcastic tone.

" ok then" he says when we both are quiet now but I'm cursing him under my breath. " you both are going to rob a bank for me". " wait WHAT why us? Ask your stupid gang members for that" i reply. "No you're going to do it" he says sternly. " or else what huh?" Ethan says. " or else I kill both of your families. I have placed explosives around your house in case you both say no" he says and shows us live cam of the explosives.

" please stop this were sorry" i say crying. " no veronica its too late you both are going to rob the California national bank for me or i will kill every single person in your family you get me" he says. " tomorrow you'll do it. We will give you masks and guns". "What if we get caught?" I say. He smiles and then says "then you get caught. Your problem not ours" he says and starts to walk out the door. " We'll tell them you're behind this" Ethan says.

Aaron stops in his tracks and turns around. "If you do say goodbye to your whole family" he says and walks out, shutting and locking the door. Me and Ethan are left in the room now. Ethan gets up and unties me with his own tied hands and I untie him as well. He then hugs me while I cry. "Shh its ok roni everything will be ok" he says rubbing my back. "No it's not, he's ruining our lives and if we don't listen to him he will kill our families. I can't let Vanessa die, I'd rather die than her or my parents" I say looking at him.

He just looks at me with an expression of sadness. " I know Roni, I would never let anything happen to your or my family," he says. We both sat down against the wall and I cuddled up in his arms trying to control my sobs. I feel his tears on my shoulder as well and hug him harder. "We'll get through this, I promise" he reassures me and soon after we both fall asleep.
