India's pov
I looked at him. His eyes putting me in a trance. "I'm sorry I can't care about a kidnapper" I mumbled going to put my plate in the kitchen. I heard a door slam and then everyone looked my way. "Bitch don't know when she has it good" Riyah said in her snooty voice. I rolled my eyes.
"Just give her time babe" WiFi said. I rolled my eyes going upstairs.
I passed a room hearing X singing.
"She keep calling, she keep calling every single night" he sang.
His voice was beautiful. Honestly he seemed to be a good person but the fact that he kidnapped me made me wonder about him. Was it so hard for him to find love that he had to take such drastic measures.
I remembered studying his face to see tattoos such as numb,alone and a broken heart. There were others and I couldn't help but want to know what they meant.
I felt bad for how I've been treating him especially since he hadn't put his hand on me or try to touch me inappropriately like you'd expect a kidnapper to do. So I opened the door and he looked at who it was. When he noticed it was me he put his headphones in. I sat on the bed. "You have a nice voice" I said. He ignored me. It was like that for ten minutes. It was until then that I realized I had taken his attention for granted and when I had didn't have it I felt miserable. Getting attention from a guy was especially new to me.
I fidgeted with my fingers. I heard his angelic laugh which made me smile a little bit. There was nothing to do. So I looked around seeing a rubics cube so I played with that only for it to be snatched out my hand. I looked to see that x had taken it.
I rolled my eyes and stared at the ceiling. It was dark outside as I looked at the window. It was raining. Making me think of all the fun I use to have in the rain with my momma.
(Flashback)
"Mommma the rain is getting hard let's dance" I said. She smiled as I splashed in the puddles. My ankles getting soaked but I didn't care.
"OK but only for a little bit" she smiled as we stomped on the puddles. We ran around as the rain glistened on our skin. My dad didn't come home on Saturdays so momma and I could sty out all night. Sometimes I didn't wanna go home but momma would tell me I would be alright.
"Momma why does daddy hit you?" I asked as a single rain drop cascaded down my chin. She sighed. "Now I wanna tell you something. Don't ever love no man that hits you. Don't ever take someone who cares about you for granted. Even if you don't know them and they care about you then they practically begging for maybe just a friendship. Take that chance because babygirl in life you gonna need as much support as you can get." I smiled.

Lord knows I never knew what she meant until now. OK X did kidnap me but maybe this was a sign. I rolled over from my back to my stomach. "X" I said. He didn't hear me. "OK you might not want to hear what I have to say. Most times I'm not good at interacting with other people. It was weird especially since I'm here against my will. Im sorry if I offended you."
He stared at me tilting his head to one side. "Jahseh" he said. I raised an eyebrow "what" I asked.
"Jahseh is my name" he said putting the computer off. Jahseh. "How old are you jahseh" I asked questionably as I took a rubber band from his desk flinging it across the room.
"I'm 20" he said picking up the rubber band and flinging it back to me. I laughed. "What's so funny" he asked. I shrugged flicking the rubber band. "I feel happy here and that surprises me" I said causing him to smile. Damn if I ain't think he was attractive before, he sure is attractive now.
"I just want you to be happy that's why I took you. See your very ambitious and you know what you want in life. But is that enough? " he said kneeling in front of me. I looked at the window. "Ever wondered what happens when we leave this world" I whispered. He nodded. Then I yawned. "If your tired you can sleep up here and I'll sleep on the couch right there" he said. I nodded.
I got underneath the covers. I watched as his back was facing me and he took off his shirt. My eyes widened. Then he laid on the couch. I fell asleep.
-middle of the night-
"Don't you love me still" a voice sad. "No get off of me you have WiFi" jahseh said. I opened my eyes as they adjusted to the dark. Riyah was straddling jahseh. I watched as she groped him. "Aye yo bitch" I said. They both shot up. "What hoe? She said. " riyah just get the fuck out before I hurt you" he threatened. She rolled her eyes before leaving.
"You okay" I asked. He noddded uncomfortably settling into the couch. "Um Jahseh can you sleep with me?" I asked . he turned around looking me in my eyes. Even in the dark his eyes didn't fail to mesmerize me.
"Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded. He smiled.
He laid beside me. "Can I?" He asked gesturing to put his arms around me. I was hesitant. He sighed "it's ok I don't want you to feel uncomfortable" he said facing the other side. Wow India you always treating people bad especially someone who seems to care about you.
"Jahseh" I called. He turned around "what's wrong?" He said scanning my face. How could someone not know me but care about me so much.
I took his arm and wrapped it around my waist. He smiled pulling me closer to him.
And for the first time I didn't have nightmares that night. I felt perfectly safe in his arms.
