Mand's POV:
I'm woken up at a voice saying, "Please buckle your seatbelts as we will be landing soon. Thank you for flying with Southwest Airlines."
Wait a minute, landing?! When did I get on a plane?! I don't remember this happening at all! I snap my eyes open and quickly unbuckle my seatbelt before sprinting to the bathroom and locking the door behind me. I let out a breath and try to calm myself down. Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I quickly check the time. It's 3:40 and today is Monday, the 27th of July. That means I was out cold from Friday to today and Asher must've found the clues by now. Oh God, Ash. I wonder what he must be thinking now. A sharp knock on the door drags me from my thoughts.
"I need to use the bathroom!" A guy's voice comes through the door.
"Well too bad. I'm in here and gonna be awhile. We're landing soon anyway bozo so you're s.o.l. buddy" I reply, trying to keep my sarcasm at a minimum.
"If we're landing soon, shouldn't a girl be in her seat by now with her seatbelt on?" Comes the reply.
"I'm sorry, my mom told me not to talk to strangers. Bye have a nice life." Sarcasm drips from my voice as the guy on the other side of the door starts to bang on it. I'm gonna call him Guy.
"Chris, what's going on?" A gruff voice asks.
"She's not coming out, sir. What do I do?" Guy, or I guess his name is Chris answers.
"Do I have to do everything myself?" Gruff, which I have decided to call him, mutters to himself.
"I'm not coming out, so don't even try Gruff." I tell him through the door.
"Who's she calling Gruff?" Guy asks.
"Not you, Guy. Gruff, the person you called sir a little while ago. Jeez, do I have to explain everything?" I reply, trying to resist the urge to bang my head on the door.
"Who's Guy?" He asks.
The urge to bang my head on the door increases drastically as he asks the stupid question and I literally bang my head on the door due to his stupidity.
"Hey Gruff?" I ask.
"Yeah?" Gruff replies.
"Where are you taking me and why are you taking me there? Who made you do this to me? My boyfriend and best friends are all probably worried about me."
"I'm taking you to Lancaster because Miss Summer paid me to bring you to her. Don't worry about your friends and boyfriend, they are taken care of."
"No! I don't want to live with her! I want to be with Ash, Lil, Les, and Xand! They are my real family!" I shout as sobs take over my body and tears cascade down my cheeks at an alarming rate.
"We have now landed. Thank you for flying with us this afternoon." A voice says over the loudspeaker.
I whimper and sink down onto the bathroom floor.
"Miss?" Gruff calls.
"What? What else do you want to tell me about what you did? Without knowing a damn thing, you ruined my whole life, present and future. Do you know what she's gonna do to me, not even talking about her crazy husband, Carl who will rape and beat me senseless. He did it all the time when he stayed over or when my family went to visit him. I can't go to their house. Please, you have to help me. I-I'll give y-you an-anything." I plead, crying more at the thought of what he would do to me.
"But we have to give her to Miss Summer if we want our money." Guy states.
I clamber into the cabinet under the sink after opening the little window in the bathroom. Wiping my tears, I mutter a "sorry" before going completely silent. After a few moments, the door is knocked down and Gruff yells, "Chris, you ass you ruined everything! Now she ran away and you better hope that you can find her or your ass is mine."
"Yes, sir." Guy says before rushing out the door.
"Miss, I know you're under the sink. Please come out." Gruff orders.
I shake my head and continue sitting under the sink.
"I guess I'll go get Chris and tell him where you are then."
I groan and open the cabinet door fast, successfully hitting his knee with it in the process.
"That's for agreeing to do this in the first place." I smile innocently at him.
"I was gonna help you."
"Whoopsies. Now where's my hubby and bffs?"
"Hubby? I thought you're only like 12."
"Dude, I'm 14. Jeez. So what's the plan?"
As Gruff tells me his plan, I can't help but notice the silhouette that is lurking outside the bathroom. I motion Gruff to hush and pretend to be fighting with him.
"How could you?! How could you do this to me?!" I shout, throwing punches at him.
He throws me over his shoulder and carries me out of the plane while I pound my fists against his back and kick my feet out at him. Unbeknownst to the bystanders that our foolproof plan was now underway.
