KIDNAPPED (A Dolan Twins Fanfiction) {wattys 2017)

Four

Hours have passed and Ethan hasn't returned. Grayson and I are still tied up and sitting.

"Damn it, I'm starving." Grayson mumbled.

"So am I..." I paused. "I need something or I'll feel sick."

"ETHAN!!!" Grayson yelled.

"Grayson what are you doing?" I asked.

"Getting us some damn food." He groaned. "ETHAN!!!"

Ethan barged through the door.

"I thought you two may have died it was so quiet." Ethan chuckled.

"Haha." Grayson mocked.

"What the hell do you want?" Ethan glared.

"We're hungry." I said.

"And?" Ethan said.

"GIVE US FOOD DAMN IT! I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG YOU PLAN ON KEEPING US HERE LIKE THIS, BUT I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL GET US OUT AND I WILL END YOU ETHAN!" Grayson yelled.

My eyes widened.

"Yeah. I don't have food here at this warehouse sorry." Ethan smirked then left the room.

"FUCK!" Grayson yelled and then kicked his feet. He squirmed and squirmed and finally fell over.

I looked at him.

"Y-you okay?" I asked.

"DO I LOOK OKAY?! I FUCKED UP! I'M THE REASON WE ARE IN THIS MESS!" Grayson began to yell again.

I sighed and just looked at the ground.

"How the hell are you staying so calm?" Grayson asked as he lied on the floor.

"Honestly Grayson. It's only been a few hours and I'm going insane. I need to get out of here. My parents are probably scared out of their minds. My brother was never picked up after school as I always do and... and... I just want to go home..." I began to cry.

"Well you hide all that emotion pretty well..."

"I've been hiding my emotions for years Grayson."

He sighed.

Ethan came back in the room.  He saw Grayson and laughed. He sat Grayson back up.

"Okay here's the deal. I can't go back to jail. So I'm letting you go."

My heart stopped.

"Oh thank you so much." Grayson smiled.

"I didn't say you. I'm letting her go." Ethan said.

"No you can't let me go without Grayson."

"How do I know you two won't snitch on me to the police?" He glared.

"Who said I'd ever do that? I'd still snitch even if you just let me go." I glared back.

"Oh would you?" He walked closer.

"Don't touch me. I swear to God Ethan." I started to shake.

He walked behind me and removed the zip-ties from my wrists.
"Get up." He glared. I stood up and he grabbed my wrists.
"Let me go!" I yelled.

Ethan dragged me out the warehouse.
"I PROMISE I WILL GET YOU OUT OF HERE GRAYSON!" I yelled.

Once outside, Ethan pinned me to a wall. Again, I couldn't move.

"I'm letting you go cause I love you." Ethan said.

"Gross."

"Shut up and listen to me okay? I'm letting you go. I can't see you like that. Grayson, I don't care about."

"Ethan he's your brother. He's been though so much with you and you're just going to betray him?"

He looked down. "Fuck." He said. "I can't do this. This was all Nate's idea!"

"Nate?"

"My cell mate from jail. He planned all of this for me. I was supposed to help him out after all of this but I just can't. I WANT TO CHANGE BUT I CAN'T! I ALMOST KILLED MY BROTHER! I'M A CRIMINAL!" Ethan let go of my wrists. He leaned on the wall next to me and slid down and sighed.

I looked down at him.
"Help me." He said.
"Let Grayson go..."
"I can't!"
"YES YOU FUCKING CAN!"

Ethan stood up. He walked back into the warehouse.

"DON'T MOVE!" I heard Grayson yell.

What the hell?

I ran back inside to see that Grayson had gotten out of the zip ties and grabbed a knife.

"Grayson. Wait. I'm letting you go." Ethan said, putting his hands up for surrender.

"How do I know this isn't one of your psychotic tricks to kill me?" Grayson glared.

"He's not lying. He's letting us go." I said.

"You're on his side? What the hell?!" Grayson yelled.

"No I'm not. If he's letting us go. He's letting us go. He's got his hands up for surrender for gosh sakes."

Grayson looked at Ethan.

"Grayson... drop the knife." I said.

He dropped it.

"Kick it to me." I said.

He kicked it to me. But as it slid, Ethan grabbed it and ran toward me.

"NO!" Grayson yelled.
