☆Jordyn's POV☆

~

When I gained consciousness, I felt a stinging pain shooting up and down my left leg. I groaned and opened my eyes. My face paled five shades when I saw the hole. It was pretty deep and about two centimeters across, and it was covered with a thick layer of dried blood that had dripped down my leg and made a dried puddle on the floor. Eugh.

I looked away quickly and saw Tom unconscious right next to me. I tried to crawl over to him, dragging my left leg.

"Tom." I cried, shaking his shoulder. We were in a barred cell in what looked like a basement. He didn't budge at all. "Tom, wake up, please." I begged.

I tried to kneel beside him and another spasm of pain shot up my leg and made my stomach turn. I slumped against the wall and took a good look at my leg. Yep, the bullet was still in there. Fantastic.

"Mm... Jordyn?" Tom groaned, stretching.

"Tom!" I shrieked, throwing my arms around him and ignoring the pain in my leg.

"Oh my god, Jordyn, you're leg." Tom gasped, carefully running his fingers over my skin above where the bullet had pierced my skin and bone.

"The bullet it still in there." I told him. "I need you to get it out."

"What? I can't! I'm not a doctor and I can't hurt you." He panicked.

"I know. I know it will hurt but it will hurt more leaving it there. Just rip it out. I can deal with it." I urged.

"No... I can't." He protested, shaking his head.

"Just trust me, Tom. Every time I move the bullet digs deeper. It has to be taken out. I won't be able to do it myself." I begged. He looked into my eyes and after a moment of hesitation, nodded.

"Don't look." He told me. I looked away and he gave me his hand to hold. I squeezed my eyes shut and held his hand.

"Don't tell me when you're gonna do it. Just rip it- OUCH!" I screamed, flinching. My leg was turning numb and a giant portion of my leg was bloody and raw.

"Got it." He said, holding up a small silver bullet covered in blood. My stomach lurched but I held down my sickness.

"Thank you." I said. He tossed the bullet across the cell we were in. Then he took his shirt off. I was distracted by the view of his perfect abs before realizing what he was doing.

"Don't do that. You won't have any shirt to wear." I told him. He looked me straight in the eye and leaned over, pressing a quick peck on my lips.

"I don't care. I have told you before, I would do anything for you." He told me sternly. "Besides. You like this view better."

I blushed and smiled as he wrapped his shirt around my leg to stop the blood. It burned a little, but actually felt better once he was done.

"Okay, now. Where are we?" He asked, standing up.

"I don't know. Alex drugged us and then threw us in here I guess." I sighed.

"I don't understand what he wants with you. You really aren't in blood relation to them."

"I don't know. Better me than Jake."

"Jake?"

"My half-brother." I explained.

"So, you have a half-brother, a sister, a step-sister, and a step-brother?" Tom chuckled.

"Yeah, I know." I laughed. "Then a mom and dad and step-mom."

"You know you don't deserve this."

"I'm okay with it. Because you know, through everything... through all of my family who didn't like me, I found Nath. My one family member who loves me. And I also found you." I smiled.

"I found you," He smiled back. "In my darkest hour. I found you in the pouring rain. I found you when I was on my knees and you're light brought me back again." He sang, making me laugh. We were the only two who could be kidnapped, drugged, thrown in a cell in a basement, and start singing and laughing with each other.

"Found you in a river of pure emotion, I found you, my only truth. I found you and the music played. I was lost till I found you, you, you." I sang in reply.

"We need Nate for that middle eight." He chuckled.

"I wonder what he's doing. Do they even know where we are? Oh lord, he's going to kill me when we get out of here."

"Question is, my love, will you?" Someone said. We both jumped and turned, seeing Alex on the other side of the bars.

"Let us out of here." Tom shouted, standing up to Alex.

"Yeah, uh, can't do that." Alex chuckled. "Right now we're just waiting for your rescue. Nathan, is his name right? Yeah, him, James, Siva, Max... all fell for it. Should be here soon. Fell for the trap just like you did, Thomas." Alex smirked.

"Don't hurt them!" I yelled.

"That, my dear, is entirely up to you." He winked before disappearing down into the darkness of the narrow hallway.

"What does he mean?" I asked in a panicked tone.

"I-I don't know. But I will get us out of this. And I will protect you, Jordyn. No matter what it takes." Tom vowed.

"Me too. I will do anything it takes to keep you safe as well." I swore in return.

And I knew that even if it was a life or death situation, I would live up to my promise.
