"Lex, is that you?"

I backed up uncomfortably then tried to duck down, but only ended up stumbling backwards and falling down.

"Lex, where are you?"

I screamed when he came into sight.

Anthony.

"Shh, st-stop I won't hurt y-you." His words were slurred.

"Get the hell away from me you drunk buffoon!" I yelled, trying not to stutter, I was honestly terrified.

A frown came across his face, "Are you okay? Look, I'm really sorry, I don't know what got into me."

"Take one more step and I'll scream bloody murder!"

"First of all, I'm not here to hurt you. Second, no one would hear you-"

Another voice came from behind me, "I hear her just fine. Get away from the girl, she asked you already and I'm making sure she gets away from you."

I turned around to see Chris and Dean. What the freak? This can't be happening, my kidnappers and a drunk guy that harassed me. Together.

"Ah, says the ones who kidnapped her."

Chris looked over at me. He looks mad at me for saying anything but like hell do I care.

"Lex, come here." Chris gestured towards himself, "please."

I remained on the ground. Do I want to be with my kidnappers, who won't let me go back to my family, or Anthony who harassed me but is more likely to bring me home.

I just looked down, not knowing who to go with.

"Alexa, ignore them and come with me."

Anthony sauntered towards me, causing Chris to shoot him a glare and also walk forward. All the while, Dean stood back looking entertained, but ready to fight.

"Lay a hand on her, and I'll make sure each individual finger gets snapped off." I wanted to laugh at Chris' threat but knew for a fact that he means what he said.

"She loves me. She said so herself, didn't you, Alexa?" I awkwardly kept my head down but nodded yes shamefully. "See." He continued.

I glanced at Anthony to see a mixture of hurt, and anger in his eyes.

"Make a decision Lex, who will it be?"

All of sudden, I couldn't help it anymore, I burst into tears.

Anthony sounded agitated as he said, "Look what you kidnappers did now, you made her cry!"

Without knowing who, I was being lifted up. "You're right, we just took her then and we're just going to take her back now."

I looked up to see Chris with a sly smile on his face, but mixed emotions in his eyes.

I looked over to Anthony to see him knocked out cold. How?! Then realization came to me as I saw Dean walking off with a sense of pride.

"Y-you can't j-just leave him t-there!" I mumbled as Chris continued walking away.

"He'll be fine, now go to sleep you need the rest."

"But-"

"Bed."

"What about-"

"Lex."

"I-"

"Now." He said this time with a stern voice.

"Okay." With that I leaned my face into his chest and relaxed until sleep overtook me.

~*~

I jolted out of bed, really confused. I saw my surroundings and realized I was still in my fort. But that couldn't make sense. I got up and walked out of it.

"Alexa, are you up?" Anthony walked in with an unfamiliar guy. "The others left but he's the last one." He said taking a glance at the other guy.

"No way that could have a been a dream." I mumbled in exasperation.

Anthony looked at me confused. "What was that?"

"Did you get drunk?"

"We didn't have any alcohol Alexa. Are you okay, what's gotten into you?"

Before I could answer he looked behind me.

"Alexa. What'd you do to my room?"
