I moaned out quietly, my head throbbing against my skull. I slowly tried opening my eyes the sunlight stinging them, making me squint. My body ached all over and I tried to stretch out but could hardly move in the cramp space I was in. The last thing I remember is going to find Megan, oh god Megan! I hope shes okay I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to her.My memory of what happened last night came flooding back to me and I sat up quickly taking in my surroundings and panicked big time. I'm spread across the back seat of a expensive looking range rover. My body bruised and sore, I put my hand on my forehead and winced, there was a big lump where I was knocked out.

No one was sitting in the front, I was alone. I grabbed the door handle and frantically started trying to open it. Tears slowly fell down my face as I realised it was locked. I was trapped. I looked outside to see I was in the middle of the woods, not a sign of civilisation anywhere. Tears continued to fall as I frantically tried all the other doors, pressing random buttons in hope of unlocking the car.

Wait, where was Ryan, he was with me. Oh god please let him be okay, it would be all my fault if he's in trouble as well. All I wanted this moment was for Megan and Ryan to call me and say they were fine and they were coming to get me and everything would be ok. Just then I remembered I still had my phone in my bra and could use my phone to contact the police. I pulled it out and my heart sunk. I had no signal. I sighed and put it back. It might come in handy later on and whoever has taken me here wont know I have it if I be careful.

I suddenly heard someone moaning which made me jump. It sounded like it came from the back of the car. I turned around slowly and peered into the boot. There laying on the floor with bruises and cuts all over him was Ryan. I suddenly felt as if we had a chance, surely with both of us we could figure out a way to escape.

“Ryan, please wake up, are you okay?” I asked quickly, I don’t know how much time we had until someone would return and find out I had woken up. I really wished Ryan didn't have to be here even if he was my only chance. It just doesn’t seem fair this has happened to us. I mean one minute we are having fun partying and the next we wake up trapped in a car. It all seems surreal. “Ryan, how badly are you hurt, can you hear me?”

He moaned again but this time I saw his eyes flutter open slightly.

“Whats going on? Where am I?” He asked confused. He then looked up at me and took in our surroundings, his eyes going wide in realisation. “Shit, this isn't good Eva,” He said already knowing the answers to his questions. I saw him wince as he sat up.

“This is fucked up, how did we get ourselves into this. Some psychopath has kidnapped us. Have you checked the doors?” He asked me and I nodded my head.

“Yes, they are all locked. I've tried pressing all the buttons but none of them unlock the doors. What we going to do?”

“Well we are not staying here much longer. I'm going to get us out of here.” he replied putting his hand on my cheek and looked me straight in the eye. “I promise,” I nodded in response gratefully, I really don’t know what I would do if I was here alone.

“Can you try and find something hard that I would be able to smash the window with?” He asked me as he climbed over to sit in the back with me. I said yes and started looking under the seats.

I felt around but couldn't feel anything useful. Sitting back up I climbed into the front and looked around me. I opened up the glove compartment and saw that there was a navigation system. Well that's going to have to do for now. I grabbed it and handed it to Ryan who was also looking around.

“That's the only thing I can find,” I told him, not sure if that would be good enough.

“It will do,” He replied.

Just before Ryan was about to smash the window we heard a loud gunshot. Not to far away from the car. We both froze and looked at each other.
