My fluttered eyes open slowly. The cold air had already reached my hands. It took about twenty to thirty seconds to fully clear up and adapt to the dimmed room. Which I still couldn't tell where I was.

But now I had realized that I wasn't in Francisco's car. But on a sofa in a living room. Which I had acknowledged that it was Francisco's apartment.

Specifically the one in New York. Which was the bigger one that he had owned to himself. I pulled blanket off my legs. Pushing myself up using my elbows.

I swing my legs over the couch. I felt the back of my hair, which felt like a mess. Standing up from the couch. Making my towards the bathroom besides the door.

Entering into the bathroom. I flicked on the light as I walked in front of the mirror which seemed so clean and no smudges or finger prints. My barely tan and dark hair was the only thing that truly appeared in the mirror.

I noticed how messy my wavy hair was. Pulling out the scrunchy from my hair. Taking a bunch of my hair as I wrapped the scrunchy around it. Even if it was messy, looked better than before.

Turning the faucet, placed my hands under it together and made a small puddle. I dipped my face into the water. I could see my makeup fading away into the water. I grabbed a tissue and started to get rid of the makeup.

Not all, but the majority of it came off my face. It made me look horrific. Ignoring how I looked, I just turn off the faucet. Rubbing my wet hands on my jeans. Exiting the bathroom, flicking off the lights.

Without even looking, I run into someone. My heart nearly dropped to my stomach out of fear. I stared at the ground for a good five seconds.

"Woah Sage. Did I scare you?" Francisco's voice alarms me and at least let me know it wasn't a ghost.

"Yes, you did." I reply glancing up at him. Francisco chuckles before he continues walking towards the kitchen.

"I got us some food while I was out." Francisco says holding the plastic bag of food. I nodded happily. Food always made me happy.

"Thank you." I gratefully returned.

Everything was going good until memories of Marco returned back to me. Making me feel more upset and worthless once more. 

"Goddamn Sage, I can't get enough of you. I am glad that I will be your first." Marco said happily. I found nothing but pain and disgusted.

He slams himself into me. I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my cheek. I wanted to just sit in a corner, curl up into a ball, crying out the pain.

"I am done now. See only fifteen minutes. Not that bad. Besides nobody will know except us. You said nothing, weak and worthless. Just like Isabeli. Good girl. I like my girls weak." Marco said chuckling.

"Sage. Sage!" Francisco's voice pulled me out of the flashback. I looked at him.

"Yes!" I said, my voice cracked at the 's' in the sentence. I hadn't realized until now that I had multiple tears sliding down my cheek.

"Why? Are you crying?" Francisco questions. Hurry and make up a lie.

"I just had a flashback of something sad, no big deal." I answer, my cheeks heated up that I was lying. Also Francisco did not seem like he was buying it.

"What was it?" Francisco brought up another question. I rolled my eyes.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." I said angrily, I was upset at how many questions he was asking. "I'll be down at the table in a moment."

I hurried towards the stairs and made my way up them at a quick speed. Reaching the second floor. I needed to get rid of this pain. I was sick of this disgusting shit that my mind kept bringing up.

Opening my bedroom. Which was still organized as it was before. I shut the door behind me. Entering my bathroom, turning on the lights, opening the cabinets under the sink. I found something that would help me forget the horrible things that Marco had done.

I grabbed a shaver. I grabbed it from the bag. Taking the foggy white plastic cover off, revealing the new blade shimmered in the light. Shutting my eyes for a brief moment.

I opened them, glancing down at my sleeves that were covered by ivory sweatshirt that kept me warm from the cold winter weather. I pulled them a the way to my elbows.

I brought the razor towards my wrist. I wanted to just get rid of the pain or ease it. I didn't want to remember this horrible moment. Where Marco raped me and thought it was just sex.

As I was about to drag it down and cut my skin. I felt the razor being torn from my hand. Thrown onto the floor.

"What the hell Sage." Francisco said.

"What the hell Sage." I mimicked him. "It doesn't hurt you anyway." Anger had filled inside of me.

"It doesn't fucking matter, why were you trying to cut yourself." Francisco's anger competed with mine. I stayed silent. Attempting to reach down for the shaver and see what he would do.

Francisco grabbed my wrist tightly. Pulling me towards him to look at him. I glanced at him. His eyes gleamed into mine.

"Answer me. Why did you fucking attempt to cut yourself." Francisco calmly said. Except he didn't sound too happy when he said 'fucking'.

I stood there in silence, almost like a father trying to get information from his daughter after she did something terribly wrong.

"Why!" Francisco yells as his grip tightened around my wrist even more.

"Marco raped me!" I screamed back. "That is why, and why I was crying downstairs."

Francisco had an angry and sad look upon his face. My heart sinked when I saw it. Because Francisco never had a face like that.

"What?" Francisco shockingly said.

"Marco, raped me. He thought it was enjoyable and he always thought you wouldn't come back. That's why he did it." I explained my voice became very monotone.

Hello my amazing peoples,

It's been too long since I have had an authors message after each chapter. Mostly because I got used to Kidnapped not having any. A lot of stuff has gone down in the book.

As you know Sage has a very traumatic experience due to Marco deciding it was okay to rape her. How will Francisco fully react and respond.

And if you enjoy the other characters in the book, don't worry they will appear soon. I know I've been lacking their appearance in the book.

I hope you guys are enjoying this book so far, I am adding in more varieties of words! Also the plot is building up to a large action packed point. But till next chapter, thank you for reading! Make sure to...
