Ashton's POV

'Hey guys, I just talked to Luke via text. I need you guys to meet me at my house in 20 minutes'. He texts Michael & Calum.

~20 Minutes Later~

There was a knock at the door. Ashton jumped up to answer it. He swung the door open.

"Hey Ash" Michael said.

"Hey, come in. Where's Calum?".

"He should be here right away".

Ashton nodded. Sure enough, just as soon as Michael sat down, there was another knock at the door. He opened it to see Calum standing there. He hurried in.

"Alright, what did Luke say?!" Mikey asked.

Ashton sat looking down then slowly brought his head up.

"You know where's Jenn's ex lives?".

"Her first boyfriend or the....." he paused remembering her other one. "Or the one that was abusive?" Calum asked.

"The abusive one" Ashton sighed.

"Yeah, I'll never forget us going up to his house and beating the fuck out of him" said Mikey.

Ash smiled remembering that day. The day his sister had to come clean about what he was doing when Ashton and the other 3 spotted the cuts and bruises.

"Anyway, Jenn & Luke are being held not to far from there, just up the road and around the corner".

"That's awesome news! I remember exactly where to go" said Calum.

Ashton's face sunk.

"There's only one problem".

"What's that?" Mikey asked.

"We don't know what house number their being held at" replied Ashton.

"It's alright, I'm sure there will be some signs as to which house it is" said Mikey with sadness in his voice.

They all nodded in agreement. A few tears trickled down Ashton's face.

"It's alright Ashton, we're gonna find her" Calum said.

"Oh we will, it's just........" he let his voice trail off. "Luke said that I didn't want to know what's was happening to her........". I can just imagine what their doing to my poor little innocent sister".

The tears were uncontrollable now.

"The faster we get her away from them, the faster we can help her and get her on the mend". Calum said comforting him.

He wiped his tears away.

"Let's just grab what he need and go get them" Ash said as he stood up.

~Jenn & Luke~

Luke continued to do his best at comforting me. He rocked me back and forth but no matter what he did, the tears weren't stopping.

"Love, Ashton says hi and that him and Mikey & Calum miss you so so much and if I believe that anybody will come and help us, it will be them".

I nodded my head.

"As bad as Jack & Ben treated me, I miss them lots too!". I continued to sob.

"I know babe, I know. You could never hate somebody for long periods of time. That's just not how you are".

I looked up at him as my tears began to slow down and he wiped my tears away.

"I need to run again Luke. I have to go find help".

"No Jenn, the others are coming I just know it. I can't risk you running, you getting caught again and this time maybe killed. I was horrified when I saw you again because while you were gone they told me that of you didn't come back I'd be good as dead. But if you came back you would be good as dead. I'm not willing to risk that again sweetheart, I'm sorry".

"No Luke, that was the smartest thing ever. It was a chance, a chance of freedom. Sure it didn't work the first time, but I know that it will work the second time".

Luke sighed.

"Jenn, I don't know........".

"Please Luke, I have to do something. Just because you fall once doesn't mean you can't get up and do it again".

"And what if you get caught and they kill you?!".

A couple tears ran down my cheek just  thinking about it. Tears stunt his far as well.

"Luke........?". He looked up at me. "I am going to do this, I have to. I know you know that it's the right thing too. It's just hard for you cuz you felt responsible the first time. I didn't have to go through with it, so even though you suggested it, it was my follow through, I didn't have to do that".

He pulled me into a huge hug again. The door burst open and Jayden and Matt walked though the doorway.

"You" Matt pointed to me. "Get your ass over here now!!!!".

I looked down at Luke while holding his hand. I whispered to him, "You're worth dying for".  "You're worth dying for too Jenn". Then our hands let go of each other's.
