A Broken Heart

Chapter 17

Ariana's POV

I woke up again but this time unfamiliar people were surrounding me. This one guy snickered, "Oh look, the princess woke up." Everyone chuckled. "Where am I? What do you want from me?" I cried.

"That's none of your business. Wouldn't want make the princess worry." Nathan said.

I frowned. "Well guess what? My family is going to come and find me. So tough luck but you're not getting away with this one."

"Oh but we are already getting away with it. Are we not?" Nathan said.

There were 6 boys. 5 of them, including Nathan, were chuckling. The other 6th one shyly stared at the ground. Nathan glanced over to him and shot him a dirty look when he saw that he wasn't laughing.

Everyday was torture. I laid in a dark room chained to a hard bed. They always came in and were rude to me. They threw me tiny pieces of bread and some water. There was also a very tiny bathroom with a toilet and a tub connected to "my room."

One night, I was in bed weeping. All of a sudden I heard the door open and that one boy who didn't laugh head popped in. He looked around before coming in and closing the door.

He turned the light on and tip toed over to me. "Hi Ariana." I looked up and wiped my eyes from crying. "Hi..?" I said. "I don't believe we had a proper introduction. My name is Zach." He gave me a small smile.

"Oh hi Zach. I guess you already know my name." He nodded and I noticed he was carrying something. "Here, I snuck you some proper food." Zach handed me a glass of milk, a sandwich, and a bowl of fruit.

"I apologize that they've kidnapped you. I really wish I could help. The only reason I'm in this is because Nathan threatened my family. I had to. I couldn't help but notice your scars on your arms." He said.

"Oh.. these?" I said looking down at my arms. "They're nothing. And thank you." He sighed and sat at the corner of the bed.

"I know how you feel, well with the scars. I used to cut. I got bullied. And my girlfriend left me for another man." Zach said looking up at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry. At least someone knows how I feel." I replied shrugging my arms.

"Oh trust me. I know how you feel." He reached over and for a second I thought he was about to kiss me but I realized he was unchaining my arms. "I was told to unchain you and bring you to the living room. But I'll tell them you're still sleeping while you eat."

I gave him a small smile. Zach left and I quickly ate my food. After about 10 minutes Zach came back up and led me downstairs to the living room.

They were all sitting down there in a red colored living room with black leather couches and a fireplace underneath a flat screen tv.

"Well, well. Look who has finally woken up." One boy sneered. Then, Nathan walked in and hollered and that boy. "Josh shut your mouth!!! I'M the one who says that you idiot!!!" Josh sighed and replied back "Sorry sir."

"Anyways, Ariana. We have some business to take care of with you." Nathan said. "Well what is it? Anything to get me out of this dump." Nathan angrily frowned and yelled at me. "This is not a dump you bratty girl. So keep your mouth shut unless I tell you to speak." I rolled my eyes.

"We need you to steal something for us. You're the only person who is able to do this. Your best friend, Alexa? Her uncle is the president. We need you to go on that family vacation trip they're planning. Their uncle is going and everyone is staying in hotel rooms near eachother." Nathan said.

"Okay? What do you even want me to steal?" I said. "SHUT UP! I DID NOT TELL YOU TO SPEAK!!!" He shouted.

"Anyways, they invited you correct? Correct. And you need to go there and change some things online about us. In our files, I'll give you a list of our names by the way, we have a lot of criminal records. We need you to erase them. And steal us 1 million dollars off him."
