Joshua's pov

Month 44 prt 5

"Tyler?" I call out.

I can't see anything, there's something over my eyes. It's cold in here, I'm pretty sure I'm completely naked. If not, it's just negative 100 degrees in here.

I think I've been here for three days, I'm starting to lose feeling in my toes and the tips of my fingers. Trying to get out has only burned my wrists and ankles, so I stopped my efforts at som point today. No one has come in here this whole time, I figured getting kidnapped means you get beat up but I haven't encountered anyone. Not since Jordan absolutely fucked me, I haven't had contact with a person.

I'm fucking starving. I'm so cold and tired. I haven't been able to sleep, I think I'm hallucinating shit at this point. I've never been this afraid.

I can hear yelling from above me, I think I'm in an empty basement. There's loud crashes and bangs, some glass shattering every now and then. I think I heard someone yell his name, but I could just be going insane. I don't think I'll be able to get out from this, I don't think I can save him this time. As much as I hate saying this, he's on his own. But I taught him some fighting tactics, so if worse comes to worse, he'll know how to throw a punch. Or at least throw shit at someone and run away to safety.

I don't want him worrying about me, if he's here with me, I just want him to get to safety and never look back. I'll be okay, and if this is it for me, I'll watch over him. I'll make sure he's okay, and I'll do whatever I can to keep him safe from... the great beyond or whatever. I don't know, I'm not religious nor do I believe in the afterlife, but if it's for him, I'll change my beliefs.

"I found someone!" Someone yells.

"Hello?" I call out.

"Sir, are you okay?" They ask, undoing the restraints around my wrists, burning them even more.

"I'm okay, who are you?" I ask.

They take the blindfold off me, bright lights instantly flooding my eyes, blinding me. "I'm a police officer, my guys are upstairs waiting for us."

"Where am I?"

"You're in the basement of a house, can you tell me your name?" She asks, finishing undoing the ropes around me.

"J-Joshua."

She stops her movement and looks at me. "Joshua?" She repeats.

"Yeah?"

"I found Joshua, tell him he's okay." She says into her walkie talkie. "We found Tyler, Joshua. He called us for help, we have him."

"He's okay?" I say in shock.

"He has some injuries, but he's safe now."

"Tyler's okay." My voice breaks. "He's okay?" I ask, tears instantly fall down my cheeks.

She smiles at me and nods her head. "He's okay, Joshua."

She throws the rope from my ankles on the ground and I instantly jump on her, giving her a hug. "He's okay."

She hugs me back, patting me on the back. "Let's get you some clothes so you can go see him, okay?"

I let go of her and look down at my body. Yeah, I was right. Completely naked. Weirdo fucks.

"O-okay. Thank you for saving him, I don't know what I would've done if something happened to him."

She sympathetically smiles at me and nods. "You don't have to worry about that." She stands up and holds out her hand for me. "Let's go see him."
