W/N Siva and Nareesha had a baby boy named Alastar Jayce Kaneswaren AND they also had a girl named Sive Tuite Kaneswaren! How cute. (this is a fictional thing, Siva and Nareesha did not have a baby! EEK! I just got 960 views THANK YOU! P.S. if you don't know Marrissa go to my other Jaythan book and read the chapter 'He's Mine'

(Nathan's POV)

             "Nathan, where are we going?" Jay asks for what must be the millionth time this year alone.

        "We're going to the rehearsal diner, James." I snap, a bit irritated with him. I'm absolutely obsessed with the idea that in five day's I'll be walking down the isle but it's also frustrating and terrifying that only five months ago, Jay had purposed to me. Maybe we are going too fast, like Scooter said. I pull into the chapel parking lot where everyone else's cars are. Looks like Eleanor and Kaitlyn aren't here yet. Neither are Siva, Nareesha, Sive, and Alastar now that I notice. 

        "You ready for this?" Jay asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. I nod my head reassuringly even though I am, indeed, not at all ready for this. Jay gets out of the car as I loosen my grip, blood flowing back to my knuckles. He opens my door nicely, holding my hand as I hop out. Maybe he's right. Maybe I shouldn't have bought a car bigger than even him. Oh well, like so many things, I can not change this.

        "You think the fans will figure it out? Y'know, that we're betrothed and all." Jay asks as our fingers become intertwine.

        "I mean, they might but who knows, really." I shrug, just wishing the asthma medication would work. They put me on day to day pills a few months ago but my body found a way to be even more unhealthy than before. Guess who's now religious?

        "Are we getting married in the literal heart of Jesus?" Jay asks, making a "The Fault in Our Stars" reference.

        "No dear," I sigh, holding the chapel door open for Jay. I yell out for the others as I head towards the gymnasium. Nothing. I enter the room where we’re supposed to meet but the only light on is from the cracks in a door across the room.

        “Jay! Help me find a light switch.” I yell as I pet the walls.

        “On it!” he yells back as he heads the opposite direction, Soon after, I hear a door click as a voice that could only be Jess calls us. We head towards the door, running into tables along the way. I look into the room to see it’s a staircase leading to another door.


        “Jess? Whatever game you’re playing it’s not funny!” I yell back. I stop in front of the door as Jay’s arms wrap around my waist protectively. I open the door to hear Jess repeat herself. But it’s not Jess. It’s Marrissa. I back up into Jay when I hear footsteps coming down the stairs.

        "Welcome boys. How've ya been?" the sickeningly sweet voice rings out.

        "RUN!" Jess screams, and we do. Well, we take three steps before Jay runs into something, someone, and we both fall down. 

        "Shame, shame. Of all the people I thought you'd be the one to know you can never run, Nate." She smirks. Marrissa's backup go towards me and Jay, dragging us to two pillars on opposite sides of the room. I struggle to get free when I feel a crunching, fiery pain spread through my face. I curse as Marrissa quickly chains me up. I feel the coppery liquid fill my mouth rapidly, so naturally, I spit the bloodied saliva on Marrissa.

        "Agg, you son of a bitch!" she shrieks before punching me in my face again.

        "Natey, you're being such a bad boy. I think I'll just have to punish you." she purrs, pulling out a knife.

        "Stop! It's not him you want, it's me!" Max yells at her.

        "Oh contrare, my darling. It will always be him I want more. Well, more dead anyways." she laughs slightly before pressing the knife against my chest, drawing a crooked line. Soon enough, she spells out the words RUN!

        "Why Natey, it seems as if you've gotten more resilient and more gay. That's truly unfortunate." Marrissa shakes her head in disappointment before turning on Jay, pointing the knife at him.

        "And you! I bet you've never even thought about a woman the same way Nate does." she laughs bitterly.

        "It's a pity you've ruined him. And with marriage of all things! But I guess someone has to punish the pollution of the world. Might as well be me." she sighs, like it's a burden to her. Another man comes down with car keys.

        "Looks like it's time to go, y'all. Ladies first." she drawls, untying Jess and Kelsey. She throws the two at the men.

        "Don't hurt them!" I snarl, trying to get out of the damned chains.

        "D'aww! Big brother wants to save his sisters. Why don't you have some extra fun with them, then." she says.

        "No! No, please don't. Anything you want, I'll give you. Just please don't hurt them." I plead, struggling against the rusty chains.

        "Hmm, do we accept his offer or do we keep the girls? I don't know, what do you say boys?" she says, as if she's a game show host.

        "I think pretty boy would be a helluva lot more fun. A lot stronger, too." One of the guys looked me over in a disgusting fashion.

        "Plus, he's got some cha-ching, if you know what I mean." the scruffier man says. 

        "No, Curt, none of us know what you're talking about. English please." Marrissa snaps.

        "The boys loaded. We could be even richer than just holding them for ransom." he clarifies.

        "Too bad we're killing them all." she sighs again. The men conversed with each other quietly, like this was a life changing decision. Though it probably is.

        "We want the boy." they finally say.

        "Alright then. Take 'em to the bus and come right back. A promise is a promise." she orders, seeming a bit disappointed.

        "Mickey, get the smaller guy in that corner." she says pointing at Luke. He does as he's told, leaving me, Jay, Marrissa, Tom, and Max.

        "I really wish I din't have to do this but I simply can't let a man disrespect a woman like that." she sighs again before throwing the knife at Jay. And it didn't quite miss. The knife lands in Jay's left leg causing him to howl in pain.

        "Now that's what I like to hear! Ooh, you must be a screamer in bed. But where would Nathan fall?" she gasps like a little girl in a candy shop. I struggle against the constrictions restlessly as my ADHD and will to fight take over my rationality.

        "Enough! You are not leaving me again. Do you understand that? DO YOU!" she screams, sounding even more psychotic than humanly possible. I nod quickly even though I still try to shimmy into a bit comfier position. I have a feeling we'll be here for a while.
