Important Authors Note at the end please read it.

Tara's POV

I sat back down in the chair quickly throwing the ropes around me to look like I was tied. Suddenly Cayden's face appeared. I groaned in my head before looking up at him.

He looked pissed.

I was pretty sure he was going to yank me up but all he did was tap my shoulder. I flinched a little bit, but reconnected my gaze with his. He smiled a little then walked out.

I was a little scared as to why he would smile so eerily. It made me think something else was going on. I picked myself up again and made my way slowly to the door to find Cayden standing there already. He smiled then pinned me to the wall.

My back hit the stone pretty hard. Not the best feeling in the world. Cayden's face was inches from mine.

"Do you want to know why I did this?" Cayden spoke almost inaudibly. I hesitantly nodded my head worried where this may be going, I mean, I have seen the movies. He sighed loosening his grip on me.

"I was jealous of Callie. She was the golden child I was the older one who did everything I was supposed to do but never got praise for it. I constantly tried to impress my parents but they were too busy talking about how 'Callie was so cute today' or 'I can't believe Callie's already doing this' no one took as much as a glance at me for a long time. I killed someone, I did, but It was because I thought I could finally taint her goody too shoes persona by having her help me. I now realize I could've done so much with that jealousy and anger. She needed to pay but she wouldn't care if it was herself." He said stepping all the way away from me. I slowly brought my back off the wall. "So I took you, one of the closest people to her." He spoke softly.

Callie's POV

"What if he's done something horrible to her." I say quite loudly while pacing back and forth in front of the couch which Matt, Nash, and Cam were sitting on. "She is going to be fine we will help her." Nash says trying to get me to calm down but I won't. "How do you know? Ugh I wish this wouldn't have happened." I sigh leaning against the wall about to cry for the fifth time today.

"Callie calm down. We've called the police and everything. They already know where he is and that's all that matters. They will get her and she will be safe." Matt says. "It was too risky to bring the boys like we said we just needed to reassure Tara." He continued.

I close my eyes trying to let his words soothe me. "So we sit here and do nothing?" I ask almost inaudibly. The three boys look at each other "Yes." They say simultaneously. I roll my eyes sliding down the wall until I reach the floor. "I'm going to the bathroom." I state finally standing up after a couple of minutes.

I walk in the direction of the bathroom then take a left towards the front door. I grab my keys, phone, and jacket while quietly slipping through the front door. I quickly exit the building and get into Matt's car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The drive to the house, even though it wasn't far, was agonizingly slow. I hit every red light and even managed to be stopped by a freight train. I felt as if I would never get there. Eventually I did make it to the semi abandoned neighborhood.

Everything looked broken down. I looked down at the paper that had the address scrawled across before turning into one if the 'homes'. I turned of the car before walking hesitantly to the door. I looked through the window to see if I could see anything before stepping onto the crumbling porch.

The door in front of me was a blue gray in which the paint was peeling off to reveal a slightly molded wood. The white framing, even more chipped. I hesitantly reached down to the metallic looking handle, half expecting it to fall off at my touch. I turned the knob which surprisingly opened the old wooden door.

I looked in to see a living room immediately off to my right. A white sheet had been thrown over the two couches on either side of the wall and broken glass littered the floor. I looked over to a slightly ajar door on my left and walked towards it.

More broken glass and peeled up floorboard scraped across my feet. I looked through the crack to see if I could see anything. I couldn't. I reached out to open the door before my hand was pulled back roughly. I turned around to see two police officers.

"Ow." I say pulling my hand back from the one officers grasp. "You're under arrest for the kidnapping of Tara Czeckner." The other officer said. The one who didn't grab me. I tried to escape the officers grasp. "Stop!" I yelled. "Quiet Ma'am." The officer yelled back. "You've got it all wrong." I yell.

"Callie?" A faint yell was heard through the door I was going to go through was heard.

"Tara?" I yelled back the officers let me go confused. "Oh my goodness Callie I'm coming." She yelled in reply before heavy footsteps were heard.

She burst through the door hugging me. "Oh god you're okay." I whispered. The two officers asked If Tara was alright in which she responded she was perfectly fine. They then asked where her kidnapper was and she hesitated before saying he escaped which confused me. How could he have escaped so quickly? why did she hesitate? The officers nodded and questioned her a little more before allowing her and I to leave.

We got in the car and I drove. It was silent except for the sound of the tires rolling over the asphalt. We pulled up to the hotel we were staying at before rushing inside. It was pouring raining.

We rode the elevator in a comfortable silence before walking inside our room. Matt, Nash, and Cam were all sitting on the couch looking worried. They looked up at the sound of the door closing. The jumped off the couch with smiles on their faces running over to hug us. Tara and I both laughed as Jill also jumped in the middle of the group hug. Once we let go. Matt kissed me on the cheek. "Don't ever do that again." He said before hugging me once more.

"Wait guys good news!" Nash said. We all looked at him. "Cam and I are moving to LA.'' He said. We all cheered before celebrating for Nash and Cam, and for Tara being back.

Our little family was back.
