Emily's POV*
I felt weak.
I didn't have the energy to move my arms or legs. My eyes felt heavy. I didn't want to open them because I was hoping this was all dream.
But I knew deep down I wasn't dreaming.
My eyes flutter open from my unconsciousness and I look around the room I was in. A sudden yawn escaped my lips. I was just sleeping how could I be tired? How long have I been out anyway?
I glance around the dark, empty room. I hate to admit it but, I'm afraid of the dark.
A nervous feeling enters my stomach and I start to shake.
I try move my wrists but I notice rope tied tightly around them.
Suddenly, I hear a door open and a bit of light shines through the open door.
A tall frame and I can't recognise them. They walked closer to me and dim lights turn on.
I glance back and the person in front of me and my face drops.
Dad?
A wide smirk plays on his face as he stares at me dead in the eyes. I wriggled my wrists tied in the rope and glare at him.
"It's been a while Emily, hasn't it" my father speaks and instantly rolled my eyes.
"What do you want?" I spat at him not breaking eye contact.
An amused look forms on his face. He thinks this is funny?
"You shouldn't of ran away Em" he said lowly.
"I did it to get away from you!" I raised my voice. "So what? I run away and that gives you an excuse to drug me and tie me up in some fucking abandoned warehouse?"
"Don't raise your voice at me young lady" he stepped towards me.
"If you want your little friends to live, I suggest you shut your big mouth" he threatened me.
After that I didn't speak a word.
Grayson's POV*
"A warehouse? That's where Emily is?" I asked Madison, confused.
She nodded her head quickly and handed me her phone.
10:47pm
Unknown: *address*
Unknown: Come alone
My eyes widened. "You are not going alone Madison" Ethan and I said sternly.
"We don't have a choice guys" she said and I shook my head. "We're running out of time"
"You're not going alone" I repeated and she huffed.
"Ethan, call the police and tell them to meet us there in 30" I ordered and he nodded, pulling out his phone.
"The three of us are going with you" I said to Madison.
"It's to dangerous Gray"
"It's even more dangerous if you go alone" I said and her lips formed into a thin line.
"Mr Bennett said to go alone. This is gonna make matters worse" she argued but I listening to her.
"Look, it's my fault" I sighed.
"It's not your fault Grayson" Madison said softly.
"No it is. If I hadn't of yelled at Emily she wouldn't of stormed off and she wouldn't of went to that party with Brandon. Her dad wouldn't of kidnapped her and I could of protected her." I said as tears brimmed in my eyes.
"But I didn't. Instead we got into a stupid fight and now she's gone. All because of me. I'm the worst boyfriend ever" I said down at the edge of the bed and put my head in my hands.
I felt the bed sink and looked up to see Ethan sitting next to me.
"Grayson" he started as he swung his arm around me in a comforting way. "This isn't your fault. Yeah, you and Emily had an argument and she went off but at the end of the day it's her dads fault. He's the one who took her. He would've eventually found her and yesterday just happened to be the day you two got in a fight. Okay. This is none of our faults" he said and I nodded.
"Now. Are we gonna sit her and cry-" he glanced at me and I chuckled, wiping my eyes. "-or are we gonna go and find Emily?" He asked us.
We all smiled and Ethan and I stood up. "Let's go"

The car ride was filled with awkward silence. We were all on edge.
The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
My hands shook as I drove my car down the street. "Bro you need me to drive?" Ethan asked me staring at my hands.
I swallowed. "No E. I'm...fine" I stuttered and kept my eyes on the road. I could feel Ethans eyes on me.
The truth is I'm not fine. I'm fucking terrified.
"Take a left up here" Madison informed me and I nodded. I spun the wheel left and sped up slightly.
"Take the next right and then pull into the black gates" she said and I followed her directions. I went right and saw the black gates she was talking about it. I drove in and parked he car.
I took a deep breath and the four of us got of my car. I locked the car using my keys. I looked at Ethan and he gave me a nervous look. He grabbed Madison hand and pulled her closer.
"Let's go" I said and everyone followed my lead. There was no windows in this place so I couldn't see what room they were in.
I ran up to a door and opened it slowly. I peered my head in revealing a long dark hallway. I heard faint voices coming from down the hallway. "She's in there" I gestured to inside. My heart started to race.
"Grayson don't do anything stupid. Just wait" Ethan warned me but I didn't care. I need Emily.
I walked in the door and down the hallway. The voices got louder and louder until I knew exactly what room she was in. My hands started to sweat. I rubbed them on the back of my jeans.
"I should've brought a gun" Madison said and I smiled lightly. "No you really shouldn't of" Ethan said and I could tell she rolled her eyes.
We reached the last room, the room Emily was in. I swallowed hard and grabbed hold of the cold metal doorknob.
I slowly but silently opened the door and looked in the room. Once I looked up, my eyes immediately landed on Emily. She was sitting down in a chair, her mouth was covered, her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were tied to the legs of the chairs.
I could tell she was crying by the mascara marks that stained her cheeks. "Emily" I breathed and she looked up at me.
Madison, Ethan and Madison's father stood beside me and Emily's eyes moved to the tall figure standing next to her.
My jaw clenched at the sight of him. He looked at me with an amused expression. His eyes landed on Madison's dad and his smile quickly faded.
"I thought I told you to come alone" his deep voice spoke, as he cocked the black hand gun that was in his hand.
He held it up and aimed it right at her. "You never did listen, did you?" He smirked.
