After I realize John was definitely asleep, I am now leaving my room. It's about 3am. Escape time. I have to find a way out of this place and I will go as far as I need to.
I open the bedroom door quietly and sneaky as I can. I quietly go down the long stairs in silence but of course they have to creak.
Freedom, my way! I think to myself. I am almost to the door in the front. I turn on the lights to have a better view.
"I knew it." a deep voice says behind me, not expecting see Johns father behind me.
"I knew it!" He says again this time louder, grabbing me roughly by the hands. My heart sinks and I want to cry again. There's no way I'll be able to get out this place.
"John!" I yell so loud hoping he comes downstairs. I don't care if he wakes up from his sleep. I do not want to be left alone with this psychotic freak.
"You are a dumb little naive g-" his father begins insulting me but thankfully gets interrupted
"Let go of her! When did you even get here? What the hell is wrong with you!" John grumbles coming up from behind him. He looks so sleep and exhausted. He looks at his dad in shock but his dad won't let go of me. He has me in a tight grip and he pulls out his phone in the process.
"I'm selling her to someone else. I told you you can't handle her. This girl needs to be watched John!" He yells at his annoyed son who's rubbing his eyes.
"Get the hell out of my house, Rob." John growls coming up in his dads face.
"Fine. But you have to make sure she-"
"GET THE HELL OUT MY DAMN HOUSE!" He yells at him, shaking. Rob his father, finally lets go of the tight grip and walks away from us.
He slams the door behind him, not even looking back at us (which I'm glad).
I look at John and he stares at me,
"If you left they would've found you before my father did. Took you again without a warning. Don't do that Lauren, I promise you I will figure this out."
"I don't know how to trust you!" I defend myself. How does he expect me to just believe everything coming out of his mouth. It hasn't even been a day since we met.
"Well then figure out how to! Or you'll be even more miserable. Look this isn't what I wanted either! Okay? You think I wanted to keep you here? Hell no! I'm doing this for you! Not me!" He argues back crossing his arms,
"You better make this plan work." I roll my eyes and go up the stairs
"You were not being smart about this escape at all." he stops talking and I turn around
"what?"
"I mean I get the whole hey he's probably asleep and it doesn't look like he's watching over me so now I can escape, and you totally would've gotten away with it, but my dad who's a psycho if I haven't mentioned that, was actually at my house this entire night without any of us realizing it," he sighs sitting down on the couch and going on,
"He called me a few times I ignored it and went to sleep. Left me messages and when I heard you scream just a few minutes ago I knew he had come here to try and see if you were running away." He explains
"Well I wasn't trying to be left alone with him."
"Lauren we need to take down this company and we start tomorrow. My dad's best friend is having this party and we must go." I groan at the thought of having to me even more delusional and freaky people
"You must put on the fakest act even if it is killing you because I do it all the time around those people. If you want to get out of here, you need to follow the lead." When he finishes talking he gets up and goes to the room.
I go back into the room I'm staying in. I know I still
won't be able to sleep tonight.

After only getting about an hour of sleep, I wake up at about 9:30 am. I go into the bathroom and he has put a new pink toothbrush, floss, and soap for me. I brush my teeth and decide to take a long, hot soapy shower.
Once I dress up I go downstairs and see that Johns making breakfast. Eggs, bacon, grilled cheese, salad, and 2 omelettes on the table.
"Good morning." He plainly tells me with a straight look. I blandly say it back as I take a seat.
"Eat." I shake my head no but drink some orange juice. I have lost my appetite ever since they took away my life.
"Lauren no one is in this house. I'm not my father. I promise you that. Please eat. You haven't eaten since you've been taken."
"How do you expect me to eat?" I question him with a sad look on my face. He takes a spoon, fills it with scrambled eggs, and brings it to my face,
"It's waiting for ya."
"Shut up." I actually laugh and pull the spoon back from my face but he brings it back
"Cmon Lor. It wants you!" His enthusiasm is really shining so early
"What's the plan, John?" He already knows what I'm referring to. He goes upstairs and comes back down after a few minutes with a blank inked pen. He opens up the note book to a page filled with steps.
"Tonight is a party. The party I mentioned last night. We go there because I am almost sure that the company owner Telly will be there."
"Ok.."
"I will speak to Telly privately. Short conversation. Get his number and act like I want to be friends. I will get into this company. Take it down."
"Will it be easy?"
"Not really. There's only a few people in Telly's company. Only people he closely trusts."
"You have to become close friends with this sicko?" I almost cringe at the thought and he shakes his head
"If I want to save girls from torture and kidnapping, yes. I will be." I smile at John and his bravery. It's admirable because he didn't even hesitate the question. He just has an answer to everything.
"So what times the party?"
"6."
