If it means I have you...

Chapter 9

"JOEY!"

Each and every step took away the last piece of energy I had left in me but yet I still ran the whole way to the top of the stairs. 

"JOEY!"

"Jas, help me!" Joey's plea was muffled but it was clear he was trapped in the room to my right. I darted towards, my hand reaching for the handle. It was locked. I hit the door several times but it was locked!

"Hang on Joey! I'm coming!"

I took a few steps back before running fowards, my leg extended so that I kicked the door with full force. It flung open as I caught a glimpse of Joey. His arms and legs were tied in front of him and a piece of cloth covered his eyes. 

"Joey!" I gasped as I pulled the cloth from his eyes and began to untie him. I looked up to see Joey looking into my eyes. The once vibrant green colour of his eyes were now dull. I couldn't help but let tears run from my eyes as I saw the state of my brother. As his hands were untied, he threw his arms round me and whispered in my ear.

"I never thought I'd see you again," He sobbed. I felt my heart break.

"I promised you I would find you and I told you I wouldn't give up!" I sobbed back. We shared our embrace for several seconds before leaning back. I continued to untie his legs and then helped him to his feet. 

"Thank you Jasmynn. I don't know how I ended up here but when I woke up, and I was in here. I could see my phone on the floor but my hands were tied together. I tried my hardest to get it and I did. You were the only person I could call! I was talking to you when a man came walking towards me. I had to hang up! He kept getting closer and closer until I could see his face. He was covered in blood and he was just stood there, looking over me. I tried to ask him to help me but then he put the cloth over my eyes. I tried to fight him but he was too strong. I yelled and yelled but it was no use! I thought..." He stopped. I looked at Joey, I could tell something was wrong. " JASMYNN! LOOK OUT!" He yelled. I span round and the man I saw in my vision was stood in front of me. I opened my mouth to yell when a pain struck my stomach. I looked down to see blood and a knife. I looked up before falling to the floor.
