Rich Boy Problems

Chapter 10 Unsweet Sixteen

Jake's P.O.V.

When I wake up I find myself in a room with nothing, but a dresser and the bed I'm laying on. The walls are white with only one window and three doors disturbing them.

I sit up and run a hand through my hair, and end up feeling the nasty gash on my head. How did this happen? Why did Jess have to walk in on them grabbing me? Jess... where is she?

A man suddenly opens the door and comes over to me. He forces my mouth open and forces what feels like my medicine in my mouth. He then hand me a glass of water, I take a drink of, and then willing swallow it as he leaves.

It takes me a minute to recover; my stomach still hurts from being kicked last might. I also have a headache, and I have a feeling that it's from when I hit it on the seat last night. Someone must have some what cared, because someone cleaned all the blood off of my head. Plus from what I remember someone stopped the bleeding.

I look around the room. There is literally nothing here. The room is bare. I'm going to go crazy in here. I guess that I should just be thankful that I'm alive.

Awhile later another man comes in with food and a book. "Here's some food and a book, your entertainment for a while."

I take the book and food from him. "Where's my sister?" The man completely ignores me as he walks out. I start to read the book and cautiously start eating the food.

Ashton's P.O.V.

Soon we get Ivy home and settled. "Are you comfy?" I ask.

"Yes, now go home, see if anything's turned up."

"But-"

"Go, or I'll have my parents kick you out, and not let you back in until you go home."

"Fine, Fine, I'll go, I'm going."

When I get home Cole greets me. "Hey, Mom and Dad found someone to help find Jake and Jess."

"They called the police?" I ask panicked.

"No, they hired someone."

"Oh."

"Trust them Ashton, they know what they're doing." He tells me. "Oh, and they sent another note."

"They did?"

"Yeah, reminding us not to call the police and all that."

"Can I see it?" he hands it to me.

Good you haven't called

The police yet. Don't. Don't

Do anything stupid. Tonight

We'll contact you on your

Computer.

"Where did you get this?" I ask.

"This morning."

"So they'll call tonight?"

"That what it says."

I go up to my room and lay down. Once again I didn't sleep much, even with Ivy safe in my arms. I couldn't stop thinking about what Jake and Jess could be going through.

Later Mom calls for me to come downstairs. "Ashton, this is Mr. Noland. He's going to help us find Jake and Jess." I nod at him, and he nods back.

"Okay, when they call you need to be calm. Listen to what they say, and then speak. Remember they have your children, they can harm them if they want to, but since they want money, and they probably won't unless you provoke them too."
