Finn and I landed about an hour ago, and we're currently at the house with everyone.
Everyone is downstairs, thinking of things we could do to find her, and Jack and I are sitting in her room, trying to find anything to help us out.
No one has any idea where Ella could be. Not even a single clue, and they've spent like two days looking for her.
They alerted the police, there are posters up and everything, but still no one has seen her.
"What do we do" i sigh, flopping onto the bed and leaning my head into my hands, thinking hard.
"I dont know" jack says quietly, sounding just as broken as me. He's been a mess these past few days, we all have, but Jack and I are definitely the most effected by this.
"This is all my fault" i whisper quietly, looking up at Jack with eyes full of sorrow and regret.
This is 100% my fault. This only happened because Jacob is obsessed with me, i shouldve known that he would do something to my friends. I should've brought them with us to Florida.
"Jack im- im so sorry"
He sits down next to me, and does the last thing I expect him to do. He hugs me.
Jacks normally the jokster of the group, ive never seen him get emotional until this happened.
I feel his tear hit my shoulder, and he sobs quietly into my neck. I rub his back to calm him down, and after a while of sitting there, it starts to work.
"No" i say firmly, shaking my head
He looks up at me, his face stained with tears
"No there is something we can do"
"What is it?"
I dont know if it'll work, but its worth a try.
I pull out my phone, dialing ellas number and praying she'll pick up.
"Come on come on" i whisper under my breath, bouncing my leg and ignoring Jacks confused look
"Hello?" She finally answers, sounding like shes been crying for hours, and this just makes me even angrier
"Put Jacob on the phone"
"Kelsie I-"
"Right now" i say, and she sighs
"Jacob" i hear her yell, and i hear the sound of footsteps coming down stairs
I hear muffled talking, and then he finally talks
"Why hello there Kelsie"
"Where the fuck are you" i say, not having time for chit chat
"That is a good question isnt it?"
"Cut the shit Jacob. Where are you and what do i have to do to get her back"
"Hmm, another good question" i can hear the smirk in his voice, and i want nothing more than to slap it off his face
"Ill do whatever i have to Jacob. You win. Just let her go, and you can have me. Ill do anything"
Jack starts to object, and i walk into the bathroom, locking the door behind me
"Open up Kelsie" he says, banging on the door, but I ignore him
"Anything?" He says slyly, and i shudder
"Anything."
"Meet me at the 7/11 by the beach. Come alone. Bring anyone else, and ill make you regret it"
I know its stupid. I know.
But im willing to do whatever i have to to protect my friend.
"Okay." I say, before hanging up.
I can hear Jack going down the stairs, probably to get the others and tell them what im doing. I only have a little time before they get to me.
I open the window as quietly as i can, take a deep breath, and jump down.
The impact hurts my legs, but i ignore it and start sprinting down the street, hoping the darkness will make it harder for them to see me.
I run faster than i ever have in my life, and eventually make it to the 7/11.
I sit on the curb outside, anxiously awaiting Jacob to arrive.
What have i done? I think to myself, starting to regret this. Youre so stupid. This is insane.
Just as im considering heading home, i see a black car with tinted windows roll up. Hes here.
Suddenly, i get an idea.
I quickly go on my phone and share my location with Finn, hoping he'll see it.
This could actually work.
Jacob steps out of the car, smiling evilly at me.
"Get in the car without causing a scene" he says, still smiling.
I do as i told, not wanting to bear the consequences of what would happen if i dont. I sit in the back seat, leaning my head against the window and watching the scenery roll by as we drive.
Jacob is on the phone with someone, so thankfully hes not talking to me. I can tell he's angry, because his replies are short and hes yelling.
I know this plan will work, it has to.
And if it somehow doesnt, at least all my friends will be safe, even if im not. Thats a sacrifice im willing to make.
Finally, we pull to a shady ass looking house in the middle of nowhere.
"How subtle" I mutter under my breath, but apparently he heard
"What was that?"
"I said how subtle. Who woulda guessed that a psychotic,kidnapping rapist would live in the middle of nowhere in some shady house? Definitely not me." I snap, rolling my eyes.
He smiles widely and winks, causing me to gag internally
"Ive missed your sense of humor, babe"
"Dont fucking call me that" i snap again, stepping out of the car and keeping my distance from him
"Im not here for you. Im here to save my friend. Now where the fuck is she."
He smirks, putting his hand on my lower back and ushering me inside.
He leads me to a set of stairs leading down to an unfinished basement, and i run down as fast as i can.
There she is, sitting tied to a chair in the middle of the room.
She has deep bags under her eyes, and her skin is so white she's practically glowing. She looks like she hasnt eaten or slept in days.
But the worst part is the dark bruises on her face, and the red marks on her neck.
"Kelsie" she says weakly, barely being able to talk.
I whip around to Jacob, so angry im seeing red
"What the fuck did you do to her" i yell, getting up in his face, not even feeling a hint of fear anymore.
He smirks but doesn't answer, just grabs onto my wrists.
I rip them out of his grasp, and punch him square in the face, catching him off guard and causing him to stumble backwards.
"How fucking dare you hurt her you little piece of shit! Ill fucking kill you!" I scream, kicking him hard in the knee and making him fall down.
I bring my leg back to kick him in the face, but he grabs my foot and pulls me onto the ground with him.
He punches me in the face, so hard i see stars for a moment. He quickly gets up and kicks me in the face, and i feel my lip bust open.
My adrenaline takes over and i stand up. I try to punch him, but he catches my fist and puts my hands behind my back, pressing himself against my back so i cant move.
"Let her go! Let her go you fucking piece of shit! You said you'd let her go if i came, and here i am, so let her go" I yell, trying to break away from him but not being able to.
"Only if you cooperate" he says against my neck, and i huff, calming myself down.
"Fine. What do i have to do"
He leads me over to a part of the basement behind the stairs, where there is a rope hanging from the ceiling, and another one tied to the wall.
"Im gonna tie you up now. Move, and ill make you wish you didnt."
I swallow hard, and let him raise my hands over my head, tying me up.
Youre doing this for her. Dont try to fight him. This is for her. Youre saving her.
Then he ties my legs to the wall, so i cant move at all.
"Alright you got what you wanted you asswipe, now let her go" i say through gritted teeth.
A smile spreads onto his face, and he starts walking away from me
"You know, i was gonna let her go. But heres the thing. She knows too much.
She knows where we are, and if i let her go, she could tell someone, and we dont want that, do we? No. So change of plans. Im keeping both of you. Sweet dreams"
He says, before spraying something under my nose, then everything goes black.
