Shawn's P.O.V

We've been doing everything to try to find Meredith. But Hannah has completely gone off the grid, for all we know she may not even be in the same state. I know the police have been doing everything they can but she still hasn't been found and it's been almost a week...

"Shawn... I know your upset but you have to take care of yourself" Amanda says coming into my room. I'm surprised at how well she's hiding her emotions about this, but I know she's silently dying inside. Meredith was her best friend and I know she cries herself to sleep. I can hear her late at night.

"I am taking care of myself. I still take showers, don't I?" I say turning away from her. She sighs before coming in and sitting on the floor

"I know Shawn... but you haven't eaten since I don't know when... I'm hurting too... but Meredith wouldn't want you doing this to yourself" she whispers

"No Amanda. You don't understand. She hates me. She thinks I cheated on her... I can't get the thought of her eyes that night out of my mind...they were so broken... I broke her... and now she's gone..." I say my eyes stinging from the tears.

"no Shawn she doesn't think you cheated on her. The reason why she was back at that club was because she was trying to find proof that you were drugged so she could go to the police... it's when she was going to walk out the door is when Hannah got her" she says on the verge of tears herself. I sit up and stare at her for a long time before finally deciding to speak

"she knew?" I whisper. She nods and wipes her eyes.

"wow...so I really am the reason she's gone" I say scoffing.

"no Shawn you're not" she says. I chuckle and rub my head

"you said it yourself Amanda. She was trying to find proof that I was drugged so she could go to the police... it's my fault" I yell

"you know what Shawn, that's not what I meant, it's not your fault. But you can't take your anger out on someone else. Were all hurting here. so, when your finally ready to eat, I made French Toast" she says standing up before walking out the door. I groan before laying back on the bed.

Meredith's P.O.V

It's been a week since I've been here. at least that's what I think. I'm still chained to the ground so I don't know what day it is or anything. So, I'm just going to say I've been here for a week. Every day they come in and wake me up by dumping cold ass water on me. They do it even if I'm already up. which fully wakes me up. then they beat me, usually cut me up some more. Give me a couple more bruises. Then Hannah gives Jake 10 minutes with me alone. She says and I quote "Shawn will never love a used bitch like her" then she laughs and leaves. You can probably imagine what happens in those 10 minutes. Let's just say. I don't appreciate it. I really hope the guys are okay and Amanda... oh god I don't even want to know what's going on in her mind right now. Or what about my mother... what's happening with her.

I start to tear up when Jake and Hannah come in with that same blue bucket filled with cold ice water. I flinch as I see Jake to go and pick it up.

"wait. Let's do something else. Untie her" Hannah says smirking. Jake gives her a 'are you crazy' look but obeys and unties my arms and legs, I stay sitting because my legs were not working at the moment.

"get in the corner of the room" Hannah says pulling out her gun. I scoot back until I feel my back hit a hard wall. She smirks and hands the knife and a bandana type thing to Jake.

"go put this in her mouth and tie her hands back up. just so she can't fight back" she says. he nods and comes up to me with a rope in his hand. I try to fight him back but my strength was very low and he was able to tie me up with no trouble and he puts the bandana in my mouth.

"now hold the knife up to her neck. and don't worry, I won't get your face in the picture" she says pulling out her phone. He puts the metal to my neck and I close my eyes. I hear the clicking of the phone and the knife is pulled away. I open my eyes to see Hannah smirking at her phone and Jake looking over her shoulder.

"now. Let's just send this to our little friend Amanda" she says, I open my eyes wide before fighting to get the ropes off my wrists. She laughs before showing me what she had typed in the message, but it was too late to do anything. She already pressed sent.

'your best friend says hi'

Shawn's P.O.V

I hear screaming. Like not the playing scream, but serious screaming. Like someone was just stabbed in the heart.

I run downstairs and see Amanda on the ground with Taylor, Nash, Cameron and Aaron around her. I slowly walk up to them as they look up at me

"what's going on" I say. Nash looks around before looking down at the phone in his hand. I realize that's Amanda's phone. I walk up to him and see what's on the phone.

It's a picture message. One from a blocked number. It's a picture of Meredith. She has her hands and feet tied up, a bandana in her mouth and a knife to her throat, I back away from the group and lean on the table

"Shawn don't even worry. We're going to find her" Cameron says touching my shoulder

"yeah... but will she be dead or alive when we do" I say my voice cracking.
