A/N: Holy crap we're on chapter 11 I didn't actually think I was going last with this fanfic but I'll keep going! And also I'm going to add names to the chapters for now on so you can get little hints on what's going on with the chapter.

Arabella's POV
It's been another week since Jordan and I have kissed but but I haven't seen him or heard from him since he got out of the hospital. I want to go over to his house today just to see what's going on. He hasn't been at school at all. Only Seth and I know that Jordan you know what with Tiffany.

Another concern of mine is Ellie hasn't been herself at all. She's been to school two times this week but she's not acting how she normally would. I got a notification on my phone and saw I had a text from Bryce.

Bryce 😋

Me

-Time Skip-

Bryce and I arrived at Jordan's house. Jordan's car is in the driveway so he should be here. We hop out of my car and walk up to his door. I ring the doorbell but no one answers. Weird. I try twisting the doorknob and it slowly opens making an eerie creaking noise. We both walk inside and I see Jordan's phone on the laying floor. I pick it up and the see the screen is cracked really bad like someone dropped it off of the space needle.

"Bryce, look." I show him Jordan's phone.

"What the hell." he whispers. I walk into his kitchen and see a note left on the counter...for me.

Dear Bella,
If you wanT Jordan back, you're going to Have to find him. You hAve tWo dayS to fiNd him or he diEs.
I have a riddle for you to sOlve. You may nEed heLp From your friends. Here's some advicE, Be pRepared.
-February 14th

Where's the riddle? I mean it could be those random upper cases. Wait I'm dumb it is. Whoever left this note here must've known we were going to come here because it's February 15th and that means we only have a day left.

"Bryce, look what I found." I hand him the note.

"Who would kidnap Jordan?" He asks confused.

"I don't know but we have to solve this riddle!" I exclaim.

"What if we bring this to Claire, she's really good at solving riddles." Bryce suggested.

"Okay." I agreed.

-Time Skip-

We are currently at Claire's house trying to solve this riddle. We invited Seth and Ellie to come but Ellie couldn't make it. Its like she never has time to hang out with us anymore.

We're waiting for Seth to arrive right now but so far we figured out that the upper case letters are supposed to spell something. There are too many letters, it must be two different words. T,H,A,W,S,N,E,O,L,F,E,B,R are the letters we are trying to unscramble. Some words we can up with were Wolf, Saw, Hat, Bear.

"Oh I came up with another word!!" Claire shouts.

"What is it?!" Bryce and I shout back wanting to know what it is.

"Flowers." She exclaims.

"But that only leaves us with T,H,A,N,E,E and B." I get frustrated. We hear footsteps coming up the stairs and than the door opens revealing Seth.

"Hey, what did you guys want me over here for?" He looks at all of us. Claire and I sitting on her bed and Bryce sitting in her bean bag.

"Someone kidnapped Jordan and we're trying to solve this riddle so we can find where he is. If we can't solve it today...he dies," Bryce explained. I look down trying not to break out in tears. Yes I may be mad at Jordan for, you know what but I still care about him and I'm determined to find him. Out of the corner of my eye I see Seth looking at me as if he's trying to make sure I'm okay.

"Guys I figured out the other word!" Bryce gasped.

We all turn to look at him and say in unison "What is it?!"

"It's beneath!" He tells us.

"Flowers beneath?" Claire looks puzzled.

"Or Beneath Flowers." I added.

"I'm still confused as to what's going on. All I think about is a flower field when you say that." Seth babbled.

"Wait isn't there a cellar under the flower field at the park near school?" Bryce asks.

"Yeah, some kids got in trouble for doing drugs in that cellar!" Claire chimed in.

"What if that's where he is!" I say as excitement takes control over my mood while I get off the bed and stand up.

"Than we better go check," Seth insisted.

We all run out of Claire's room and out her house. We hop into Seth's Ferrari and we drive to the flower field as quick as we can. I made sure to bring Jordan's phone with me so I could give it back to him if we found him and I know we will find him. I'm positive about it.

-Time Skip-

We were all running towards the flower field eager to find Jordan. All of us found the steps leading down to the door of the cellar and bolted down. There was an old metal door blocking the way of getting into the cellar. Seth tried opening it but it wouldn't budge.

"Bryce I'm going to need your help opening this." Seth ordered.

"Okay what do you want me to do?"

"We both need to run towards the door and slam our shoulders against it so we can try if that works." They backed up while Claire and I moved out of the way. They bolted towards the door slamming it with their shoulders than falling to the ground as the door opens really quickly. Claire and I help them up than run inside the cellar.

"JORDAN!" I yell running towards Jordan as I saw him tied up on a chair. I take the cloth that was in his mouth preventing him from speaking out. All of us help untie him from the chair he was sitting on. He stands up and hugs me really tight and I hug back.

"I missed you beautiful," he whispers in my ear. He suddenly kisses me and it feels like butterflies and fireworks instantly go off. He puts one hand on my cheek as our passionate kiss still goes on. I'm no longer mad at him anymore.

"STOP THE PDA!" Bryce yells and Jordan and I pull away laughing.

"Guys we have to leave right now, Ellie's going to be back soon!" Jordan warns us.

"Wait, what do you mean Ellie?" Claire asks puzzled while everyone else besides Jordan is confused.

"I mean Ellie is the one who kidnapped me brought me down here. If we don't get out soon enough she's going to trap is all in here." He informs everyone.

"It's too late to escape." The door slams shut and Ellie's standing there with a gun in her hand.
