Warning. Mild violence
"hello!" I yell until my voice cracks "is anybody here!? can anybody hear me!?"
Crawing up into a ball, I can't help but cry. That's all I've been doing since I came here. From the small window in the top left hand corner of the square room Ive been here for about a week and a half. About ten days of pain, ten days with no food and most importantly ten days without Noah
The last person I saw was on the third day, it was wearing all black and a mask which means they didn't want to be found out
Another shoot of pain courses through my inners and a loud choked cry erupts from my mouth. I clutch my stomach harder trying to reduce the pain and maybe calm it down
"shut up!" I hear a loud voice yell from the other side of the metal door sounding a bit annoyed
"well if you let me out of here then maybe I will!" I shout back just as annoyed
I hear clicks in the outside of the door before it swings open reaveling a very pissed off man. He storms over to be and grabs the scruff of my neck, picking me up from the single springy mattress I'm laying on. Only he can't pick me up fully as I'm chained to one of the rusty poles on the bed
"listen hear you little slut" he says in a dangerously low voice, gritting his teeth every word "if you don't want anything to happen to your precious baby then I suggest you shut the fuck up"
He let's go of my shirt and let's me drop onto the bed, as if I'm some whore he picked up at the club. The man starts undoing the buttons on his shirt slowly, looking down at me with a glint in mud brown eyes and a smirk of his disgusting mouth
His lips make contact with mineand hand grips my wrist, holding me down. No matter how hard I struggle, his grip on my arm it to tight
"get off her!" an all so familiar voice booms through the small cellar. The man pulls his lips away from mine and a sigh of relief escape's my mouth, thanking the lord that his lips were no longer locked on mine
"and what if I don't" the man challenges, his hand loosens its grip on my wrist his and travels it up my arm and down my chest until it reaches my stomach making me wince
It's okay baby, nothing is going to happen to you
"then I'd have to kill you" his voice dares
After hearing the safety click of a gun throughout the room, the man takes his hand off my stomach and walks towards the door, shooting a glare at Luke on the way out
Luke drops the gun and walks over to me as the tears being falling. He sits down on the edge of the bed looking down
"why" I manage to chock out "why do you do this to me?"
"cause you betrayed us love, and you don't get off that easily" he says patting my thigh before standing up and heading for the door but not before turning around "I thought we had something real, we could have been everything you could've dreamed of and yet.. you had to go have a baby to that joke"
And with that, he turned back around and left, closing the door behind him.
Noah's pov
"alright so the plan is Violet and Becky you go around the possible blocks in the building you think she will be and check for guards while Greg, Josh and i go in the front doors and asks the registration Nicole was seen coming in with Luke. She was last sorn wearing a white loose top and comfy pink SpongeBob shorts, everyone else you know what to do. If you see her do whatever you have to get her out of there" I advise the people around me. They all nod knowing full well what to be before going to do what they were asked
Greg, Josh and I walk into the apartment building and straight up to the registration desk where a lady wearing a white dress is sat
"hi my name is Noah Johnson, I'm looking for a Luek Knights and if he was with anybody" I ask politely to the lady. She looks up at me and gives me a fake smile
"I'm sorry sir, I'm not aloud to give out guests information" she says before looking back down at her paper work
"i don't think you get it, I'm here on very important business and my father Daniel Johnson can back that up" I say with a fake smile, simerlar to hers just before
Her body tenses for a second but quickly musks it with a straight body as she sits in her chair
"owner of most big business in California?" she sqweaks looking up again eve so slightly
"you better and if you dont hand me over that information your going to be packing up your things and leaving" I say calmly as her face pales
She looks down flipping through some pages before she stops on one, skimming throught it
"Mr Knights rented out the basement about a week and a half ago with a brunette girl that goes by the name of Cassie Williams and seven other men which I didn't get the information on. Four of them checked out yesterday, Mr Knights checked out about an hour ago with a one of the three men left behind" she explains
"where would the basement be exactly?" I ask
"down that hallway" she points to a hallway about 7 meters away "take a right and keep going until you see a picutre of a farm then take a left and there should be a stair well at the end on that hallway" she replys
"thank you" I hurry then run down the directions she gave me. Soon enough a the stair case came into my sights, leading to what is supposed to be the basement
Before creeping down the stairs I tell Greg and Josh to be armed with there guns and stay alert. As we reach the bottem of the stairs, a door with about five locks and two big guys in front of it
"entertain them" I whisper to the boys and they nod. Josh strides downs the stairs as if he isn't about to get killed and so does Greg
"this isn't the bathroom" Greg states creating a devsion for me to sneak past them
"hey I thought it was" Josh argues
"what are you two doing down here" one of the men growl
"trying to find the bathroom" Greg presses on
I hear a grunt come from one of the guards as he mumbles something under his breath. The man on the left knocks on the locked door twice and sighs
"well be back in a few, don't get up to anything" he says making my blood boil. I know he's talking to Nicole, or should I say Cassie Williams
The men leave to go show the guys the bathroom which gives me a chance to sneak past them. I creep behind a small water tank as they walk up the stairs and accidentally kick a buck on my way
"what was that" one of the men say
"probably just a rat" Josh says along the lines of "come on I'm busting"
I take my chance to step out from behind the water tank and stare at the door. Let's just say it wasn't very secure with only three locks that are only click ones with no key
Typical Luke
I click all the locks and gradually enough the door clicks open. That was easy. Pulling the door open revels a very dark basement with not one speck of light except a small window in the rear end on thhe room. I see a gun in the middle of the room and decide to pick it up, putting it in my waistband with the other one
After a small detour my eyes land on a bed with a small balled body laying on it with its wrist chained to the bed pole. The persons long hair falls loosely covering its face and the loose white tee it's wearing is terribly ripped in all places. I sit down next to her on the bed and look at her sadly
"baby girl" I say softly placing a hand on her shoulder. She finches slightly from my touch causing me to take my hand away from her
"come'on my angel" I whisper as she slowly stirs from her slumber. Nicole delicately pushes her hand way from her face and looking up at me with dull hazel eyes filled with sadness. She frowns at me with a trembling lip as tears soon start fall
I bring her close to me and let her sob into my chest. She clenches me tightly, crying harder and harder with each and every sob. The tears start decreasing as I rub her back multiple times, claiming her nerves and shakiness
"let's get you out of here" I say and Nicole nods weakly
I pull a bobby pin out of my black track suits and start undoing the chain on her before it becomes loose, letting her free. Turning to her, I pick my baby up bride style and turn around seeing a shadow
"you better put her down" Luke says holding up a gun. I put Nicole down and she whimpers as I pull out my gun as well
"or what, you'll shoot me?" I laugh loudly, bitterness laced in my voice
"yeah or I could just kill you" he replies with a shrug
His gun raises to my heart, aching to just pull the trigger. I raise mine to his forehead and smirk. Greg comes up behind Luke and snatches his gun away from him, leaving him armless
"any last words for your sick ass" I say smugly
"you bastard" he says but I only smirk, pulling the trigger. His body falls limp on the floor not moving an inch letting me known he's dead
I turn to Nicole once more and pick her up delicately, walking over to the door and kicking it open with Josh as Greg behind me
"let the others know I've got her" I say and they both run up the stairs to alert the others. Taking my time going up the stairs, Nicole buries her head into my neck, her hot breath hitting my cold skin
"it's alright bubby, it's all gonna be fine now"

Nicole's pov
Peeling my eyes open, I see the sun of the first time in what feels like years. I cringe slightly at its brightness but it's still nice to see it
My eyes land on a lady with red hair and green eyes talking to blonde haired boy who has his back turned to me. The girl spots me a walks my way
"hi my name is Violet, how are you feeling" she asks softly
"okay" my voice comes out horse. She just smiles and places her hand over mine
"don't worry honey, noah will get you home soon" she soothes nicely then walks back to the blonde boy. Noah walks over to me with a light smile on his face
"cheer up buttercup we are going now" he says leaning doing and hugging me. It's then I realize I'm leaned against a car with a blanket over my shoulders
He picks me up bridel style and outs me in the front passenger seat of the car. Noah tells the other people who were hanging around that he's going then gets in the driver's seat
"ready?" he asks and I do nothing but bid my head weakly
***
"I'm so hungry" I drag out, sipping the last of the coffee Noah made me. He groans, sliding a hand down his face before getting up again mumbling things under his breath. I set the mug on my bedside table smirking
"what would you like, ma'lady" he says in a british accent. I can't help but giggle at his weirdness
"a custard tart please" I say smugly, knowing we don't have any in the fridge "ohh and can I have a packet of mint biscuits as well"
"stupid pregnancy craving" err grumbled under his breath walking out the front door yelling "be back soon"
"how are you feeling" a female voice startles me. I turn my head to see Ben, Alex, Jade and Emma standing at the doorway of my room
"oml hey" I say with outstretched arms. Emma fills them with her body and I would say the rest of the felt left out so they all came and hugged me except for Jade, who was twiddling her fingers
"nicole I have something to tell you desperately" she murmurs. Everybody else seems to know what she's going to tell me so they leave the room so we can talk
"sure" I cheer unable to wipe a smile off my face
"you might wanna have this" she mumbles handing me another mug of hot coffee
"thanks beautiful" I say taking the mug and placing it my lap "so what did you want to speak to me about"
***
"BLAKE!!!!" I yell at the top of my lungs as soon as Jade is finished explaining things. I hear frantic footsteps coming up the stairs until Blake is clutching my door frame, out of breath from pruning up the stairs
"is something wrong?" he pants, his chest rising up and down but as soon as he spots Jade, his body goes stiff "is everything okay?"
"don't play dumb with me boy, I know what your up to" I narrow my eyes at his causing his eyes to widen. Blake looks at jade with desperate eyes but all she does is look down
"i had to tell her" she murmurs
"why were you one of my best friends having an affair!" I shout holding my head high and putting my hands on my hips
"it just happened!" he shouts back frowning "at a party a few months ago"
"so your both telling me that this has been going on for months?" I raise my eyebrows. It's really not that I'm mad but upset that they didn't tell me sooner
"it's not all his fault" Jade pipes up
"no its not but it is his fault for not telling his only sister that he loves her bestfriend, I'm not mad Jade but you should have told me sooner"
"you love me" she whispers looking up at Blake, her frown fading away
"yes" Blake sighs walking towards her and sitting on the side of my bed, next to her
"alright guys don't go all lovey dovey on me and if you are please don't do it in my room" I fake gag laughing. They laugh along with me before hugging
"i love you too" she smiles grabbing both his cheeks and kissing him passionately
"alright you two seriously have to leave my room so I can enjoy this beautiful coffee Jade made me"
"thank you for not cutting my dick off" Blake sighs leaving the room hand in hand with Jade. She smiles sweet disappearing thought the door way closing it behind her
"ahh young love" I sigh to myself
***
"hey baby, how are you feeling" Noah sits beside me on the bed. I haven't moved all day and I feel so useless
"useless"
We sit in silence for about 10 minutes just enjoying each other company until he sighs
"i love you"
My whole body freezes as shock waves over me. He said the L word that I have been also waiting for
"i love you too"
"really?" he questions facing me, shook visable on his face as well
"i do and Ive known it since that night we broke up"
Oh my love, I fucking love love love you to the fucking moon and back baby"
"i love you to infinitely and back" I say pulling him into a hug
