He leaves you alone in the room, and during that time you test the ropes. They hold firm. You are not sure how long he leaves you there for, but from a gap in one of the boarded windows you can see it is starting to get dark outside. When he comes back he is holding a takeaway bag and a drink in a covered paper cup with a straw sticking out of it. The scent of the food drifts over to you as he comes closer.

"Are you hungry?" Jason asks you as he opens up the takeaway bag and takes out a sandwich that has the filling you like most in the world.He sets down the drink.

"I am a bit hungry..." You admit.

"It's a shame I didn't buy this for you then" He takes a big bite out of the sandwich then  proceeds to eat it all. You watch him in silence, thinking how mean it was of him to eat in front of you after hinting he would be giving the food to you.

"Are you thirsty?" He asks, holding up the drink.

"Does it even matter? You reply coolly. "Whatever I say, you're just going to drink it yourself..."

"Nah, I'm not..." He picks up the drink and moves it closer to you. "Go on, have a sip..." You refuse at first, until he takes a sip of the drink himself. Now you feel better about having it.  You wouldn't put anything past him at this point. Still, you keep thinking he will pull back the drink at the last second, but he lets you take a good long sip of the drink. It's your favourite soda, and it's refreshing. Then he takes another sandwich out of the takeaway bag. "I was just teasing you. This one is really for you"

"Could you untie my hands?"

"Nice try, _____"

"But how am I going to eat it?"

"I'll feed it to you, of course"

You don't like that idea at all but he will probably just take the sandwich away if you refuse, and who knows when you will next get to eat? You need to keep your energy up. So you let him feed you the sandwich, and he is very patient waiting for you to finish your food. You take small bites until the sandwich is gone.

A stray smear of sauce lingers on your lower lip, and Jason seems to be avidly focused on it. You tried your best to eat without making any mess, but it was not easy when you did not have use of your hands. Jason  moves  closer to you, crouching down enough that his face is level with yours. He is so close now that you can see the green flecks in his hazel eyes, and feel his breath on your face.  You draw in a deep breath.

“What are you doing?” You whisper, but you think you know what he is about to do. Jason gently brushes his thumb over your lowe lip, getting rid of the sauce . And then his lips crash onto yours, and although you had been expecting a kiss nothing had prepared you for it be like this. He kisses you forcefully, like he wants to own you. By the time he pulls away you are left breathless. He kisses you again, but this time it's a softer kiss. It's pleasant until he bites your lip, hard enough to draw blood. You weren't expecting that. And then you hear the distant sounds of a police siren. Jason breaks away from the kiss and for the first time you see he actually looks a little worried.

"I just have to go and check this out.." He leaves the room and for a while all is silent. Then you hear the sound of a gunshot. Not long after that, you see a cop rushing into the room. It's your dad. When he sees you he comes straight over.

"______, are you alright? Did he hurt you? What happened?" He checks you over, getting upset when he sees the blood on your lip and when he sees the cut on your hand he actually scowls. You know it's not directed at you, but whoever he thinks did this to you. "I'm so sorry this happened, honey. When I find out who did this, I'll make them pay" He unties you from the chair and helps you to stand up. Then he pulls you into a hug so tight it's hard for you to breathe.

"Um, dad? Can you let go now?"

With a sigh he releases you. "Sorry, honey. I was just so scared. If I lost you,  I don't know what I would do" He hugs you again, but this time he's more careful not to hold you too tight. He drops a kiss onto the top of your hair. "If anything bad had happened..." He shakes his head. "Anyway, it's better not to think like that. It's a good thing I put that tracker in your phone, otherwise who knows if I would have found you in time"

"You did what?" You exclaim, having been unaware up to this point that he had done that.

"It was just a safety measure, honey. And it worked. I have to call this in, then I'm taking you to the hospital, then home. Tonight you just need to rest.Tomorrow I'll take you to the station. We'll get a facial composite done, you'll do your interview and then we will catch this guy. I'll make sure of it" He smiled at you warmly. "I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm happy you weren't alone. Your friend is here too"

"My friend?" You're confused. Who could your dad be talking about? Surely not Emily, who was at home recovering from the flu. Unless he meant...

"Your friend Jason is here too, honey. He was on the scene when I arrived. He explained everything to me. He saw you get into a car with a stranger,and so he followed you here. He should have called us, but he just panicked. He told me that all he thought about was saving you. He's a very brave young man, you know. He was shot at by your kidnapper.I should have brought backup with me, then maybe he would not have gotten away. I was just so concerned with finding you"

"Jason...was shot at by my kidnapper?" You don't believe what you are hearing. Jason has lied to your dad. He  had even gone so far as to pretend he had been shot at. You don't even want to know how Jason got his hands on a gun.

Your dad mistakes your disbelief for concern. "Don't worry, honey. Jason was very lucky, he didn't get hit by the bullet. It just missed him"

CHOICE A: You don't want to lie to your dad, but you don't want to get Jason in trouble either. You are on the verge of telling your dad the truth but something stops you from telling him.Eventually you just choose to not say anything about it. Although you know you will have to at some point. You know you will have to find a way to speak to Jason before your interview at the station.

CHOICE B: Jason had lied to your dad. And if the truth came out, he would be in serious trouble. Of course you had to go along with Jason's versions of events, although you knew you would feel guilty for lying to your dad. Still, there was no way you could tell the truth. Jason had put his trust in you. And you had to protect him. You knew you were meant to be with him. He might have problems, but  nobody was perfect. You had decided to accept him as he was. Maybe perhaps you could even help him change.

CHOICE C: Somehow Jason has manipulated the situation and made himself look like the good guy, when he was the one who had taken you away. That made you feel angry. You were not going to just keep it a secret. You were not going to protect him.You were determined to tell your dad the truth, although part of you felt bad for Jason. You were not sure what would happen to him once the police had made a full investigation. Still, you knew it was the right thing to do. You did not feel safe around him.

The story is almost finished now. The highest number of choices you made should determine the ending chapter you choose.
