A/N: this chapter is kind of jumbled

"Stop the car." I yell, pushing my hardest on the door. He ignores me and speeds out of the parking lot. "I don't know what you plan on doing but Matty is looking for me, he's going to call the police if we don't show."

He grabs my phone from his pocket and dangles it ahead of me, "Taken care of." He searches through my phone, shifting his eyes from the screen to the road. "See,"

He gives the phone to me and let's me read the text.

I'm going home, I just
can't be here right now.

Is this about Adam?

I'm just starting to realize
that I don't love you.

Joclin don't say that.

Bye,Matty.

I look up from my phone and stare at him.

"You're insane." He snatches the phone back, rolling down the window. He sends it flying and all I can do is watch as it tumbles down the road, crashing into pieces.

"Adam, please. Turn the car around. You're scaring me." He smiles and nods his head.

How did this happen? Something obviously snapped inside of him and now he's what? Obsessed with the thought of having me again, of us being a couple when in reality that is so far gone.

Kidnap? I never thought I would be a victim of a kidnap and certainly not with Adam. He wasn't like this before. He wasn't crazy or possessive but now- I'm seeing how wrong I was. Back before he quit drinking he was intense but not like this. Not to the point where I was afraid he'd kidnap me, hurt me yes, but force me away, never.

"Are you calm?" I don't move, besides slightly lifting my eyes to look at him. "Well?"

"Yes, I'm calm."

"Good, because I don't want to spend 6 hours in the car with someone who's moody." He grabs my thigh and squeezes it.

"Don't touch me." I lash out, pushing his hand away.

"I don't think you're calm." He chuckles.

"I'm as calm as I will get. Don't touch me." He looks at me, smiling, cocking his head slightly, then slams down on the brakes and sends me flying forward, smashing my head on the dashboard. Pulling me back up to face him, he grimaces at me.

"I'm trying to be nice here but you're making that so difficult for me, Joclin. Now- are you going to nice to me?" I nod and look away, until he forces me to look at him again, shoving a hand through hair. 

"I said are you going to be nice to me?" I stay quiet, looking him in the eye. "Say it!"

"Yes."

"I thought so- now try to get some rest we have a long journey ahead of us.

I do what he tells me and rest my head against the frigid windowsill, only closing my eyes to let images of him disappear.

When I wake up I'm still in the car but now we are parked in front of home. His home actually, and his seat is empty. I take a few glances around and finally unbuckle myself when I see that I'm okay. I open the door, dragging one foot out after the other. 

I take this opportunity to search through the box compartment for Adam's phone.

It's gone.

Shit.

I step out of the car, and try to make a run for it to the next door neighbors but Adam comes charging down the driveway.

"Jocccc!" He screams and slithers, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me back. I yank away, kicking him right in the knee, sending both of us down. He pulls my arms around his neck and yanks me up.
