*Alanna's POV*

When I woke up, I was laid in a cold, hard bed. I looked around and noticed that I was in some kind of basement. It was dark, and the only colour I could see was grey, lit up by candles.

Soon, I heard footsteps. My first thought was that it was Jade who had taken me somewhere safe, but then again, our only safe place was home.

"Well, well, well.." someone said, for fucks sake, it was Calum.

"What do you want?" I asked, watching as he came into sight. He had changed clothes, this time in some sweatpants and a tank top.

"I want you," he said, "you know, those pyjamas seem to attract me."

"Leave me alone!" I said, my voice echoing.

"You can't run from me," he said, I stood to my feet and tried to run but I had shackles around my ankles and my wrists, which were chained to the wall.

"This is torture!"

"I'm not touching you, though. I guess the only way you would've got out of this would be if you woke up."

"Where's Jade?"

"She's with Ash and Luke."

"Is she chained up like I am?" I asked, sitting back on the bed and watching as he came towards me.

"Maybe, depends what Ash wants to do with her," he stood between my legs and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Why are you doing this?"

"A man has his needs," he leant in and began kissing my neck, "you'd want it if you gave me a chance."

"A chance to do what?" I scoffed, he pulled away and looked deeply into my eyes.

"This."

His lips soon met mine, and for a strange reason that I would never gather, I didn't pull away.

He did though, to catch his breath and to slip a snarly comment, "see, you never know until you try."

"Alright, alright, you got me. But can you let me go?"

"You want to leave so soon?"

"I just want to--"

"I know you like me, Alanna," he smirked.

"Calum?" Calum turned around to see Luke stood with a torch, "we might need you upstairs."

"What? Why?"

"Uh, Michael's getting aggressive, I think he needs his pills."

"His pills?" I asked, pills for what?

"Shut up, you," Calum said.

I frowned, one minute Calum was an actual decent guy, and then the next he was a total prick. I didn't want to believe it myself but Calum was attractive, and I was attracted to him. Seeing him angry was a bit of a turn on, the way the veins in his neck popped out and the way his eyebrows furrowed. It was irresistible.

Then I had an idea, maybe I could seduce my way out of this, and Jade could do the same. I just needed a way to tell her that, and soon.

"Right, okay, Luke you stay here, I won't be long," Calum said, leaving into the darkness where I believed he walked up some stairs, I think we were in a basement.

"Hi," Luke said, walking closer to me.

"Hi," I replied, watching as he stood there, his hands in pockets. "Where's Jade?" I finally asked, "is she okay? What is she doing?"

"She's... fine," he let out a sigh, "can I ask you a question?"

"Uh, sure," I frowned, watching as he looked around.

"Have you ever liked someone you shouldn't?" He looked at me, "like, you're supposed to be against them, but you can't help but be attracted to them?"

And for a strange reason, I related exactly, thinking of Calum, "yeah, I have," I sighed, "it really sucks."

"Yeah, well I sorta like someone and it kills me knowing that I'm supposed to be against her."

"Yeah," I looked at him as he kicked the dust off the ground, "I'm sorry about that."

"It's ok, no biggie.." He admired my face, "who do you like?"

"You promise you won't tell?" I asked, shocked that I was going to tell him so easily.

"Hey, if it makes it any better I'll tell you who I like."

"Okay, well, it's Calum."

He frowned, "Calum? why him?"

"I don't know," I looked at the ceiling, picturing his face, "he's just so.. attractive. The way he gets so angry at me and how he yells and, he's just gorgeous." I said, looking back at him as he held a confused look.

I didn't know Luke enough to be telling him things like that, but from what I gathered, he was a pretty decent. In fact, all four lads seemed decent, they were just evil, evil for holding Jade and I in hostage like this, and for trying to get justice from something I haven't quite figured out yet.

"So, who is it you like?"

"Oh, that would be Jade." Like Luke did, I asked why, he said it's for the same reason I liked Calum, "it's just heartbreaking seeing her struggle and in this situation, I've had many temptations to pull Ashton off of her and let her go, but I can't. Plus, it's even worse when Ashton likes her, and I'm pretty sure when Ashton softens up, she'll fall for his charms, too."

"Oh," was all I could say, I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing, he liked her.

"She's- she's just so beautiful, you know? I feel really sorry for her."

"Yeah, I know." I sighed.

"Luke!" Calum's voice boomed, "get up here now!"

"Coming!" and soon, Luke was gone, and I was alone, cold, hungry, and scared.
