Next day

"So how was it?" Jonah asks when he opens the door.

"I-it was pretty good. We ~cough~ maybe kissed?" Unconsciously, I glance over my shoulder, half-expecting to see someone.

But no one's there.

Strange, I keep getting this feeling like someone's watching me.

"You feel it too, huh?" Jonah whispers, startling me out of my daze.

"That feeling you get when someone's breathing down your neck? Yeah....." I shudder and look around again.

No one.

"Let's go.....maybe it'll be gone once we get to school?" I sound like I'm trying to convince myself, and I am.

"Yeah. C'mon, let's get Corb - " Jonah's cut off as Corbyn walks out onto the sidewalk, his eyes wide.

"Guys, I feel like someone's followi-"

"You too? Well, shit." I curse under my breath.

"Let's get to school and sort it out." Jonah says, and we shadow travel to school.

When we get there, Dani keeps looking over his shoulder, and Jack looks at the ground, fidgeting and playing with his fingers.

"Oh. Not only us, huh?" I say, but then I notice Jonah's eyes widen.

"Guys, Gabbie -!" Is all he manages to say before everything turns black.

Hours later....

I wake up to a killer headache, arms bound, and my mouth gagged.

My eyes focus and widen as I take in my surroundings. To my right, Jack is bound, but not gagged and we're in what seems like a half-built hotel.

Holy shi -

"I told you to stay away from him." Gabbie says in a singsong voice. Her voice makes me wanna kill myself.

Wait.

But where's Daniel? Jonah? Corbyn?

I let out a muffled sound and try twisting around, but Gabbie walks up to me and slaps my face, hard.

Jack lets out a noise of anger but I look at him and shake my head before Gabbie notices.

"Oh, Corbyn? I need a little help with your 'friend' over here." She smirks, her voice dripping with malice as she sees my eyes widen.

No, no, no, no, no.

Holy fuck, no.

Corbyn walks towards me, eyes black pits as he punches me in the jaw, hard enough to hurt, but not hard enough to knock me out.

"You see, Zach. I'm gonna kill you. But I'm not the one who's gonna do it." She says, throwing a casual glance towards Jack. I start shaking my head once it hits me, tears making everything blurry.

Jack, no, no! Please, Jack, ple -

Zach, I won't let her. You know I won't.

"Oh, having one of those conversations? Jack, I forgot to tell you. If you don't try and stand against me, I'll kill your pretty little boyfriend here. And I'll make sure there's a lot of blood too."

I'm sorry, Zach.

Jack fucking Avery I won't let you! She's str -

I watch, horrified, as Jack makes eye contact with Gabbie and nods, Gabbie smiling and motioning for Corbyn to untie him. Jack stands up, hands balled into fists at his sides.
