TAKEN

Wake up

Milo's POV

I close my eyes and I feel at peace. When I open them once more and I'm no longer on the ship I'm in my dad's fire station the 147.

How am I here? Am I dead? If I see dad I'm dead. - shut up you're not dead, I think.

"Milo, son, what are you doing here?" my dad asks.

Bella's POV

I yell at Kegan to stop but it doesn't affect him, it just looks like it makes him punch and kick harder. "Kegan STOP!"

I run up to him and try to get him off of Milo. I grab his fist before it connects with Milo's face again. He instead punches me in the eye and I get thrown onto the ground. I touch my eye and feel blood. Kegan looks over at me and his eyes go from anger to regret and sorrow as he figured out what he's done. "Bella I- I'm so sorry, let me help-" I cut him off by getting up and pushing him back. "Don't!" I say firmly and make my way to the bathroom to clean my eye.

"I'm sorry. Bella please," Kagan repeated and followed me to the bathroom. I close the bathroom door before he enters, and I look at my eye. It's already bruising.

Ophelia's POV

I run to Milo's limp body and hold him in my arms. "No, no, no, no" I repeat. "Please don't leave me," I beg. A tear goes down my face as I check for his pulse and it's very weak. I scream and cry still while holding Milo's head on my lap.

Milo's POV

"Dad? I- is that really you?" I ask

"Yes son, it's me. What are you doing here?" My dad asks while walking over to me and hugging me. I start to cry a little.

Slowly I start to remember what happened and I can hear a muffled crying noise... Ophelia.

Well you can't be dead if you can hear her... right?

"Milo, son, what are you doing here?" my dad says.

Bella's POV

I yell at Kegan to stop but it doesn't affect him, it just looks like it makes him punch and kick harder. "Kegan STOP!"

I run up to him and try to get him off of Milo. I grab his fist before it connects with Milo's face again. He instead punches me in the eye and I get thrown onto the ground. I touch my eye and feel blood. Kegan looks over at me and his eyes go from anger to regret and sorrow as he figured out what he's done. "Bella I- I'm so sorry, let me help-" I cut him off by getting up and pushing him back. "Don't!" I say firmly and make my way to the bathroom to clean my eye.

"I'm sorry. Bella please," Kagan repeated and followed me to the bathroom. I close the bathroom door before he enters, and I look at my eye. It's already bruising.

Ophelia's POV

I run to Milo's limp body and hold him in my arms. "No, no, no, no" I repeat. "Please don't leave me," I beg. A tear goes down my face as I check for his pulse and don't feel anything. I scream and cry still while holding Milo's head on my lap.

Milo's POV

"Am I dead?" I ask my dad while still remaining in his embrace. "I don't know Milo. What happened?" My dad asks. "I got kidnapped by Ophelia's dad-" my dad looked like he just realized something "- and he said it was because I was 'taking his daughter away' from him. And he's in a gang I think. I don't really remember all that much." I say still trying to remember everything that happened.

"I thought he stopped." my dad says in a tone a little lower than a whisper. "What do you mean?" I ask. "Well Jack a long time ago, he was in a gang but said he wasn't in one anymore. I guessed he lied about that." My dad sounded disappointed as he said that. "How did you know he was in a gang?" I ask. He looked at me disappointed "Because I was in the same one he was in." he tells me

No. Fucking. Way.

Kegan's POV

I'm standing outside the bathroom trying to get the door open but she locked it. "Bella opens the door please," I beg while I frantically try to twist the door handle. She doesn't respond. "Bella open the goddamn door now!" I demand.

I hear her crying in the bathroom and I feel so terrible for what I have done.

"Go away Kegan, please. I don't want to talk or look at you." Bella says with her voice breaking. "I really am sorry... I love you." I confess. I hear her unlock the door and I slowly walk in and see the big bruise on her face and blood trickling down her eye. Oh my god. I did that. "Bella oh my god," I say while getting a cloth and putting cool water on it.

I guide her to sit down so I can help her.

What is wrong with you?! Why the hell would you do that?!!

I bring the cloth to her eye and she winces "Sorry," I say in a low tone.

"Did you mean it?" She asks. Fuck.

"Yes, I did," I respond while looking at the floor.

Bella's pov

I look at the door as Kegan is trying to fix the black eye he gave me when I see Ophelia in the doorway holding Kegan's four-inch-long pocket knife.

Oh God, what is she about to do? Nothing, right?

Ophelia's pov

"Milo, baby, you have to wake up, you can't do this to me, you promised that it would be you and me till the end." I sob taking a break to breathe I look up and notice a shiny silver object.

I kissed Milo on the forehead then went to pick up the object. When I get close I notice it's a knife with the name Kegan engraved on the blade that's when my fear turns to pure fury.
