Ashley's POV-

"Jc I have to go home! Please! It's important!" I tell him. I'm so confused and worried.

"Ashley, what's wrong?" He asks as he begins to drive back to my house.

"Well, Kate was the one on the phone. She told me not to come home and then she screamed. Then the call ended." I explain, trying to hold back my tears.

"Then why the hell are we going back there?" He asks, driving faster.

I can see the worry in his eyes. I can feel the tears swelling up in mine.

"Because Kate's there and I need to make sure she's okay and some hobo isn't raping her." I realize that what I said sounded hilarious, but neither of us laughed because this is serious.

"Call the guys. We might need back up." He tells me, handing me his phone.

I go through his contacts and call Kian. In Jc's videos, it always seemed like him and Kian were the best of friends from his house. He was also really nice yesterday.

"Hey Bro! How goes it?" Kian asks when he answers his phone.

"Kian, it's Ashley. Me and-" I start before Kian interupts me.

"Did you and Jc get in a car accident?" He asks.

"No. I got a call from my roommate Kate and she said not to come home to my house. So, me and Jc need you, Ricky, and Connor to meet us at my house." I explain to him.

"Wait. If you're not supposed to go back, why are you?" He asks.

My voice begins to shake as I answer, "Because I'm scared Kate is in trouble. Please."

"Will do kiddo. We're coming." He tells me.

I laugh because he called me "Kiddo" even though I'm a year older than him. I hang up and hand Jc his phone back. The tears start swelling up in my eyes again. There are 10 minutes until we get to my house, so I decide to break down. I just let the tears flow out of my eyes. Jc grabs my hand and I look at him.

"Don't worry, I'm right here." He reassures me.

I just nod and interlock my fingers with his. I look back to the window and see us coming up to my street.

We turn the corner and I see two cars parked outside our apartment.

"I didn't know this neighborhood was this bad." I mumble to myself.

"What?" Jc asks, still holding my hand.

"Nothing." I tell him.

He just gives me a 'Whatever" look. I smile back at him.

We wait in the car, a few blocks from my house, until Kian and the others pull up next to us. We all get out and begin to walk up to the house. Ricky, Connor, and Kian go first. Jc and I walk behind them holding hands.

Jc's POV-

We are walking up to the house and I feel so bad for Ashley. I know she's scared, even if she won't admit it. Her nails are digging into my hand, but I don't mind. It doesn't hurt or anything. We stop right before we reach the driveway.

Connor, Kian, and Ricky turn around to face Ashley and I.

"I think Ricky and I should go through the front door and you three can go to the back." Connor tells us. We all nod in agreement and begin to put our plan into action.

Ricky and Connor won't go up to the door until Kian texts them saying that we are in our position.

Kian, Ashley, and I walk around to the back. Kian goes first, then Ashley, then me. We sneak around being as quite as possible. Ashley is still gripping onto my hand. 'I wonder why she didn't go out with me?' I ask myself, but then decide this isn't the time to think about that.

We get to the back of the apartment and wait up against the wall.

"Did you send the text?" I ask Kian.

"Yup." He replies.

"We'll be able to hear the doorbell. I know I've only lived here for a day, but I was back here when the pizza guy came and I could hear it through the door." Ashley explains.

I nod.

"You guys are really cute. Are you dating?" Kian asks.

I give Kian a look that says "Now is not the time, we'll talk later".

He nods.

We hear the doorbell ring, but suddenly have no idea of what to do.

Kian slowly slides the door open and walks in. I follow him and Ashley follows me.

Kian goes off on his own, but I stay with Ashley. We stand in the kitchen and wait to hear something.

"Let's go look around." I suggest.

"In a minute. I have to tell you something." She tells me.

"And what would that be?" I ask, unsure of what she might say.

"I really like you. Thank you for coming here with me even though it was probably a stupid idea. I'm really glad I met you and get to be here with you." She tells me before wrapping her arms around me.

I wrap my arms around her in return.

"I really like you too." I tell her when we break away from the hug.

She smiles.

Then we continue our hunt.

My phone buzzes and I see a text from Kian.

Kiki- Come upstairs. Now.

Me- Kk

I lead Ashley upstairs. We find Kian, Connor, and Ricky all standing in the bathroom.

"There are people in that room down the hall." Ricky says.

"What are they doing?" I ask.

"I have no idea." Connor tells us.

"Let's go find out." Ashley says. She reaches for my hand and let her. We walk hand in hand down the hall.

Kian grabbed a knife from the kitchen, so he goes first, holding the knife out infront of him. He opens the door and we all look in.

What we see is undescribable.

All of our mouths drop.

In unison, we all say, "What the fuck?"
