Mari POV:
Vision blurry. The room is dark. I can't see my kidnappers face but I have an idea of who he is, . . . Peter. As soon as I focus someone steps out of the dark. Lean, tall, glasses. It is peter. But it looks like he's been crying. "Peter?"
"Yeah it's me."
As soon as he says this I picked up on the slurring of 'it's' So I know he has been drinking. "Peter, why am I tied up?" When I say this, I chose to not say 'What did you with Mathew?' If I said it, it would probably tick him off.
"Mari, you were all I had. I tried to get a new girlfriend but they all rejected me because my ex told her 'subscribers' on YouTube." When Peter said this, I noticed he had tears in his eyes as he was clutching some whiskey in one hand and a knife in the other. When I see it, I start to internally freak out.
"Peter, why do you have a knife?"
"Oh Mari, you had to know what this was leading to." He inches closer but before he could reach me, I hear a CRASH! BANG! And then the screeching of tires.
Matt POV 30 minutes earlier:
When I wake up, I'm in Maris bed tied down by ropes going over me, under the bed, then back over. Luckily, I have been learning to get on my phone with my feet, Don't ask. I shimmy enough that my phone falls out of my pocket and by my knee. I position my knee on my phone and move it to my feet. I turn it on and then call Joshua. I call him because I know he was awake. I tell him to come to Maris house and help me out. After he untied me, I rushed out of the apartment without explaining anything. I try to call Mari but I forgot that her phone was on the ground, shattered in her apartment. I get into my car and then try and find her. I see Peters car outside an abandoned warehouse, and plow my car through the garage door.
Mari POV:
After I wake up, I realize I am in Matt's car, on the way to the hospital, I guess. After that, I black out again. At the hospital, I remember the white walls of the room, the bright lights of surgeon lamps, and faces of my friends, family, and nurses and doctors. After a few hours, everyone leaves but Matt and my parents. I look over to my left and my mom and dad are asleep, but on my right I see a red eyed Sohinki with tissues all around him. After he sniffles he looks up at me and runs over.
"Mari!" He says before he hugs me.
I look him in the eyes and say "Did you call the police to arrest peter?"
"I was worried sick I didn't know if yo- what? Yeah I did. I told the police that he was abusing you and they said that he would be away for a few years."
"Good, I hope he burns in Hell for eternity."
"Well, the doctors say you can leave anytime you want. Do you want to go now?"
I nod after he asks me and he helps me up and get dressed. I wake up my parents after I do and I was so happy to see them.
A few months later. . .
Matt's POV:
I am so excited! This is the month I ask mari to marry me. I better start setting everything up. Mari was staying with Kalel after her and Anthony broke up. "Hey Kalel."
"Oh, hi Matt."
"Can I talk to Mari?"
"Yeah, but she's in the bathroom."
"Oh, OK. Can you take a message for her?"
"Sure."
I tell Kalel to have mari meet me at the apartment tonight for a game night. After we say bye, I set up. Mari gets home and I ask her how Kalel is and she says that she is doing better than she did. After a round of Mario Cart, she goes to the bathroom and I set down amibo figures spelling out "will you marry me." When she gets back I go to the bathroom, too. When I come back, Mari's gone. I sit down and when I do, I get jumped on by Mari screaming yes! I see that the TV is turned off and now Mari and I are making out. We end up in the bedroom and you know what happened next. Before we knew it, the wedding day was here. Everyone at the office was invited. Mine and maris parents were there too. After we said all our vowels, Mari and I said "I do."
