Cam's POV

I woke up in a new room. A room with a window. It made me realize I was somewhere new. I felt very dizzy, but something was off. This room, it wasn't at the warehouse. It seemed very familiar though. Then it hit me all at once.

I'm at my old apartment. Before I got kid napped, this was my old apartment. With my stuff, my bed. This felt unreal. He let me go..
He let me go! I sat up in relief.

To my side was a note and I opened it knowing it was from him.

Cam, I've let you live the life you wanted to go back to. You're free and never have to obey Kendrick and the nightmares you lived with my gang. In return I ask that you keep everything a secret. Your loyalty lies with your life. Don't go to the cops, don't speak of this to anyone. I paid the landlord the money you missed. People think you left for family matters. Your story to come up with. You still have your old job. Don't come looking for me. Here's your second chance, don't mess it up, and thank you. -J

I set the letter down to pick up a stack of cash he left with me. To be exact 200,000 dollars. I had no idea why he did this or let me go but I had to admit I was upset. Cause it was I, the one who fell in love with a gang member and it kind of broke me how he let me go. Therefore, it was my time to let him go.

I decided to just sleep off the rest of my day considering I'm still recovering from that asshole. 

The next day

I woke up the next morning to a phone buzzing. A phone I didn't even know I had. Keep in mind I had been gone awhile and when I was kid napped everything I had on me was taken away.

"Hello?" I answered groggy.

"Where are you?" Someone asked over the phone.

"Huh?" I said. "Who is this?"

"Travis, your boss? Hello! Wake up and get to the diner now!" He said and hung up.

Travis? Who the he— Ohhhhhhh... yeah my boss. Not my leader boss of a gang, my bosss. From my job I had a few months ago working at Sweet Lemon Diner.

WAIT!

I got up and scrambled through everything and then back to my phone to look at today's date. I dropped my phone as I realized I was kidnapped mid March and I was stabbed the day of my birthday which was May.. I didn't want to keep reading the date on my phone.

September 29

I had been gone for not just a few months, but 6 months to be exact. All the torture and things I went through for Sabrina. SABRINA!

Oh no.  I have to find out where she lives. Where did they get her? Did she make it out alive? Is she okay? What must I do.. I mean I'm supposed to get ready for work but what do I care? Justin left me 200,000 dollars. I could live off of that for a good minute. The thing was, I knew I didn't want to be here alone caught up in my thoughts.

I don't know how I still have this job but I have an idea Justin had something to do with it. He is very manipulative considering he did just use me as well. He can't act like I wasn't there long enough to know about his other little hook ups throughout his time being there.

Once I got off of work I knew I was going to search online for Sabrina everywhere. I had to find her. I had to know she was okay. I just needed to know she made it out safely. And so it is what I did later on that evening.

Justin's POV

I know where she is. I know what she does for a living, her every move. In fact I know where she is right now. Creepy huh? I put a GPS on her phone. One that only I could tract and not police or any of some sort. She's been seen with us and other gangs could be after her. Let alone I can't have her going to the police station so I had to make sure she didn't go running after someone she should. Telling someone things she shouldn't.

one week later

Cam's POV

I had found her. I found Sabrina. Was she alive? I didn't know. Was I meeting up with her? I hope so. When was I meeting up with her? And to answer all your questions, it would be right now. I had messaged her on Instagram in which her parents answered scared I was some scammer or someone trying to kidnap her again. In which I wasn't. They agreed to meet up with me at their place, and they threatened me. Said the cops would be outside and I told them I wasn't kidding that I was a friend of Sabrina's.

I was afraid when they told me they have a cop at their place but just like I said no one looked for me. I wasn't a missing report. No one missed me. I had no one in my life to miss me. Or so I thought I had one.

I walked up the steps I could see her parents there. The door swung open and I saw her. It was her. She was okay. My sweet little one was okay. She jumped onto of me into a big hug. She was crying. I wanted to cry but .. NO! I was crying. I was happy she was alive. Every horrible memory came flooding back. How everything happened and how I was able to get her out.

Her parents came and greeted me. They asked how I knew Sabrina and I told them that they could ask Sabrina later and so they listened.

"If you need anything we'll be inside." Her mother said knowing Sabrina was with someone she knew and not a complete stranger. I nodded and smiled so that she knew I was thankful but that I didn't need anything.

We sat on her porch swing and she immediately bombarded me with questions.

How did you get out?

I did what I had to do Sabrina

What happened after I ran?

I killed him.. Justin and I.

You're part of them?!?

It's complicated. I'm not, but it's complicated what happened back there

Did you tell the police?! Did you file a report! You know where they live!

Did you file a report, did you report them?

I was crying, I didn't see exactly where I was until I saw a police officer and then everything else is a blur.

Sabrina I can't tell them..

Why not?!?

Look I know you don't understand but I just can't.

I can!

She then got up from the porch to go to the officer who was at the front of her house and I yanked her back.

"No!" You aren't going to do that. It's my statement and I don't want to make it!" I whisper screamed at her.

"Why are you helping them? Why aren't you trying to ruin them! What they did to you?! What they did to me?!" She said furiously

I looked down for a second and then continued," If I do they'll do something and I'm afraid they'll do something to you. I was threatened in return I got my freedom."

"So tell the police!" She said back now in tears.

"Sabrina I can't." I then put my hand on her thigh. "I got you out in time but keep in mind I'm an accessory to murder. I killed Kendrick and it's not something I want to keep reliving. Justin is changing the gang to be better and I trust him in what he's doing. I trust what he's doing. It's not kendricks team anymore."

I got the most disappointed look from her. "I'm telling the cops. I'm telling them everything." She said and my heart started racing. I didn't want anything to happen to her.

"Sabrina.." I said and then her parents came out. A few tears left my eyes but I wiped them quickly. I thanked her parents for letting me see her and I left quickly. I didn't know how much time I had until she confessed absolutely everything. I did have one thing in mind.. what did I have to lose? If she did tell who was I protecting in reality? Did I really want to live? Did I really care if something happened to me? Or was I just a sad hopeful yet helpless charity case waiting for the world to give me what I always deserved. Or did I already get that?
