[Tony's POV]
Three. Fucking. Days!!
Police is still searching for Avie or Mindy.
We're still waiting for a ransom call.
Tour is on hold for a week and we'll have to continue, with or without Avie. Something I don't want to do. Today is supposed to be her birthday... Which breaks me even more.
We're basically against the time here.
I haven't been able to eat much and only basically drunk myself sick these past three days.
"Tony, come on bud, you got to at least eat," Vic said.
I shake my head and down more Jack Daniels, coughing as it burned my throat more.
Who knows what they're doing to her.
I'm praying to god she's okay. I miss her so much it hurts.
[Randy's POV]
Thankfully, school's under some renovation after some fire burned some stuff, thankfully it was a Saturday when it happened, so nobody was hurt.
I got home from work was decided to take a nap when i got a call from my bud, Corey, wide reciever of the team.
"Hello??" i asked.
"Dude, are you watching the news??" he asked.
"No, i just got back home, why??" i asked.
"Put on chanel 7, now!" he said a bit urgently.
I scrunched my eyebrows and turn on, clicking to Channel 7 and was shocked seeing the words MISSING and then Avie's picture.
"Day three of the search for 18 year old Avery Stella Winters or her kidnapper, Mindy Johnson, continues. No traces or sightings of either ones. Sources from Sunset Side General Hospital, where Winters was admitted by an attack from Johnson, said that at 8:30 on Sunday morning, Winters was released by Johnson posing as a sister Winters never even had. Nobody has seen the women since then. Winters, who goes by the nickname "Avie," is merch girl for post-hardcore band, Pierce the Veil, as well as guitarist's Tony Perry's beloved girlfriend. Perry refused to say anythign to the press about his worries but we were able to catch up with drummer Mike Fuentes on the situation," the reporter said.
"No..." i said, shocked, then saw Mike talk to a reporter.
"This Mindy b**** crossed the line. She's crazy, and god knows what the hell she's doing to Avie. I'm praying Avie is found and we're trying to do everything we can. If there's a ransom, we'll pay for it, we swear. Johnson, leave Avie alone!! I mean, fans are worried, we're all worried. Tony is too worried. We just want her back. Today's her birthday, she shouldn't even be whertever she is, taking whatever Mindy's doing to her," Mike said, his eyes red from crying I'm sure.
"Winters has been adopted by the Fuentes family after being rescued from her abusive foster parents, being Diane and James Forts, imprisoned for animal cruelty, and child abuse and neglect, and false charges leading to Winters in a psychiatric hospital months ago and was nearly raped by a 43 year old nurse. The search for Winters continues, in hopes that she is found safe and sound and returned to the arms of her family and friends. If you have any information, please alert the police as soon as possible, Reporting live from Santa Clara, California, I'm-" the reporter said, and i mutted the TV, interupting her.
Oh no... Mindy, you psychotic crazy bitch!!!
I grab the phone again, seeing Corey was still on the phone, and talk.
"Dude, get me the next flight to California, now," i said as i took out my suitcase and started packing it. "And pick me up here once you did."
"What?! Where are you going?!" he asked.
"I'm gonna save Avie from Mindy," i said.
"You're crazy!!" Corey exclaimed.
"Avie doesn't deserve anymore of this, and you know it. Ever since Mindy got Alice to kill herself, even you said we should apologize to Avery Winters for making her life hell!!" i said.
He was quiet, but then spoke.
"Alright, i'm getting you a flight now, I'll text you when I'm there," he said.
"Thanks," i said and hung up, packing the suitcase and getting dressed in a tshirt, sneakers, and denim jacket. I grabbed my suitcase and phone and ran out.
I then ran downstairs to where my mom and dad were and they saw me with a suitcase.
"Sweetheart, where are you going??" My mom asked.
"Santa Clara. Mindy's gone insane, Avie Winters is in danger," i said.
"Avie, you're friend??" Dad asked.
"Yes. Mindy's kidnapped her," i said, then got a text and a car horn beep outside.
"I have to go. I love you guys," i said, hugging my parents, kissing my mother's forehead, and running out, their worried faces watching as i leaped into Corey's car and we drove off to the airport.
I'm coming for you, Avie.
[Avie's POV]
I gasped for air as i looked up at the ceiling.
In only three days, they forced fed me with a tube down my throat twice (the second time i refused to open my mouth and i had the hose forced into my nose). Then they made me throw it up until there was blood, and then they injected heroin and meth into me, only it was boiling hot and even mixed into one mixture, then beating me to a pulp.
I felt like i was empty inside, hollowed out.
I just wanted to die here, so i won't have to be reminded of all my mistakes, all my fears, all my experiences.
I felt tears fall as i choked out a bloody sob, and reached my hand to wipe it off, but was shocked by what i saw.
It... it was blood.... I'm crying blood.... Oh my god, I'm crying blood....
I screamed out air as i tried to crawl to the wall with all the strength i can.
I sobbed into my knees for hours, since Mindy and the guys went to some party somewhere.
Mindy had dyed her hair black and cut it a bit short with jagged layers and had on green contacts that covered her blue eyes. She was disguised since she was being looked for.
I think i had fallen asleep, crying more blood, pain in my body.
God, what have I done to deserve all of this??
