Chapter 27-All For Love

I still have no idea why the hell I was in here. They obviously didn't kidnap me because I was 'Grace Bieber', daughter of Justin Bieber. And that brings me to the yet unanswered question, then why the hell am I here? I've been here for almost a day now, it was getting dark outside, surely my family are back home from New York. And surely Jason would've noticed me gone by now...right?

That dude left and never came back ever since, I was starving and I needed some water for my dry throat. They obviously have no clue as to how to treat a kidnapped person. Kidnappers these days. I looked down at my grumbling stomach and as if on cue, the door flung open and in comes who I've learned to be, Josh. Yup, the same one that dragged me out of McDonald's.

"I brought you food" he said settling the tray on a table beside me.

"Not sure if you notice, but..." I trailed off gesturing to my tied up hands and foot.

"Oh, yeah..." he said scratching the back of his head.

"I'm not allowed to untie you though, so..."

He picked up a forkful of pasta and lifted it up to my mouth. I hesitantly leaned forward, taking the fork in my mouth. It wasn't the best pasta I've ever tasted before, but it'd do. After finishing up the plate and helping me drink some water, he picked up the tray and was about to leave when I stopped him.

"You seem like a nice guy, Josh. I don't understand why you'd be a part of this" I said softly.

"I never chose to kidnap you, just like I never chose to be apart of this life" he said with a sigh.

"If you're free, you can talk to me. I obviously have nothing better to do at the moment" I said with a chuckle.

To my surprise, he walked back towards my chair, set the tray back on the table before sitting on the floor next to me. He started fiddling with his fingers before letting out a deep sigh.

"I was four back then, my mom tried running away with me, she didn't like me being in such an environment. Dad kidnapped me though and threatened that if she doesn't leave, he'd kill me. So she left, promising me that she'll always be there when I needed her" he started, never looking away from the floor.

"I was forced into this life and I didn't know how to run away as I was just a kid back then. Two years ago when I got older, stronger, I tried searching for my mother. But soon someone knew about it and told my father...soon I heard that she was killed. He killed her" he said angrily balling his hands up into fists by his side.

"I never got to see her, I don't remember how she looked like. I didn't know what to do, I couldn't have a normal life, no friends, not able to fall in love. Because they'll either hate who I am, or just simply get killed in the process"

I could've sworn that I saw a tear roll down his cheek. I know he was a part of me getting kidnapped, but I couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

"My best friend was killed right before my eyes...and I didn't do anything" I said shaking my head as I bit down on my bottom lip.

"You know who killed her?" He asked looking up at me, but I avoided eye contact.

"She was killed in some alley with no mercy whatsoever. I don't even know why they killed her...They were saying something about her boyfriend. I paid him a visit a couple days earlier and he told me how they threatened him when he tried leaving the gang" I said shaking my head bitterly.

"Her boyfriend? "

"Hayden. I don't know if you've heard of him" I said with a slight shrug.

"You're talking about Maya?" He asked in disbelief.
