The Beginning.

I was lounging around in the living room when my phone rang.

I looked at the caller I.D and frowned. Hmm. I'd never seen this number before. Shrugging, I answered the call, placing the receiver to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Alex, it's me, Stella." The voice on the other end replied

"Stella? Oh my god, it really is you! Where have you been the past three weeks? I was worried sick!" I exclaimed, shocked

"I know I have a lot of explaining to do but I need you to listen carefully okay?" She sounded tired, lifeless even.

"Okay.Go ahead" I whispered

"Look, remember that day we headed down to Starbucks?"

"Yeah,"

"This guy came up to us and asked for my name?" She continued

"Yeah. What about him?" I asked, confused

"He kidnapped me."She stated simply as if this kind of stuff happened all the time

"What? How? When?" The questions tumbled out of my mouth and I couldn't contain them because of my shock

"Long story. I'll explain later. I'm at his house right now. He's keeping me a prisoner here." She whispered, as if someone could hear her

"Wait, who's this psychopathic guy, anyways? Like, what's his name?" I asked

"Louis."

My breath caught in my throat and I had to swallow hard to clear the lump.

"Tomlinson?" I asked, dreading the answer

"Yes. Member of Hellion," Stella said, her voice shaking

Shit.

Hellion was the gang that ruled London. Drug dealings, murder, assault, kidnap. You name it and they've done it.

Wow, This day just keeps getting better and better. (Note the sarcasm)

"What the hell?" I exclaimed

"Yeah. I know. He's insane. Like, seriously. He treats me like some kind of object. He has these set of rules that I must obey. If I don't, I get punished."

"And just how many times have you gotten punished?"

"Only once. I now know better than to get on his bad side."

"Honey, all of him is bad."

"He's messed up, I tell you. One minute he's telling me he loves me and the next he's yelling in my face.I can't take this anymore! You'll get me out of here, won't you?" She asked hopefully

"Of course I will! That's what friends are for, right?" I said, and for a second, I actually believed that I could do it

"Thanks a ton, Alex! I love you! "

"Where is the house located?"

Just then, I heard voices on the other end.

"Stella, sweetheart! Where are you?" A male voice called out

"In the kitchen, Louis!" She called back

"Kingsley Avenue, first mansion on the left. It's red and has a cobblestone pathway. Talk to you later. Bye!" She said quickly before the line went dead

I sighed, plopping down onto the couch.

"We're back!" I heard the front door slam and in came Gwen and Tori.
