I awoke to see light filtering through a small basement window. I felt a throbbing pain shoot up my leg. I looked down to see my scraped leg, blood oozing from the sides. I winced in pain as I tried to sit myself up; I was on a hard mattress. The walls were made of brick, and the basement smelt of cement and oil. I tried my hardest to sit up once more ,but the attempt was useless. I sat back down ,and the thoughts came swirling in my brain all at one time: my mom, Peter, my dad, and Jermey. I could picture her pacing, worry plastered across her face, in our small cottage-style kitchen. I saw her dialing my phone number and leaving dozens of messages asking where I was and why I didn't come home last night. I could see Peter and my dad sitting, in those ugly ass chairs my mom bought at Ikea; I envisioned them trying to reassure my mom that everything would be fine, although that was a lie. Then ,after countless hours of worrying, I could picture her dialing the phone to West Prep to try to get ahold of my brother, Jermey. My thoughts were brought to a screeching halt , when I heard the loud creaking of a door opening. A few minutes later , the door to the basement was aggressively swung open. I was face to face with  a tall muscular man; his arms were grazed with tattoos. If weren't for the whole kidnapping ordeal, i could've said this man was attractive.
