Sweet Pea's POV

I didn't sleep. I don't think I've slept since she went missing. Which was a week now. I forced myself out of bed, and to school. At the very least, school could keep my mind off of her during lessons.

Whenever I was asleep, which was rarely, I always dreamed about the fight we had. Over, and over again. I could memorise the words we said by now.

I came out my room, and heard a knock at the door. I opened it, and there was someone standing there I've never seen before.

"Can I help you?" I asked her.

"I was wondering if you knew where I could find, Jayda Jones." she responded. I felt even sadder at the mention of her name.

"How do you know her?!" I snapped, my sadness turning into anger.

"We were cellmates in juvy. I'm Maya Jenkins." she replied, choosing to ignore my tone of voice.

"I don't know where she is, no one does." I said, simply, before slamming the door in her face. 

I took a shower, then went to go to school. I opened the front door, and the girl was still there.

"Why are you still here?!" I snapped at her.

"I was wondering what you meant by, 'no one knows where she is'?" she asked.

"I mean, she's missing. No one has seen her in over a week." I responded. "Now, go away. I need to get to school." I push past the girl, and to school.

Jayda's POV

Everytime the door would open, I hoped it was them coming to rescue me. But, it never was. It was either Jake, or his two friends from when he kidnapped me, Toby and AJ.

I got fed once a day, and given water twice a day. In between then, I would be tortured, and hit. Or left alone. In the dark.

I don't think I've slept this past week, and I'm constantly starving. Being a Jones, I'm used to eating all the time.

Toni's POV

I was bartending at the Wyrm, with Sweet Pea and Fangs sitting on the barstools in front of me. Then, someone came into the bar. It wasn't a Serpent. It was a Ghoulie.

"What the hell do you want?!" Sweet Pea demanded, and shoved the guy.

"I know where Jayda Jones is." the Ghoulie said simply.

"Where is she?!" Sweet Pea, Fangs and I all said at the same time. We stood in front of the Ghoulie while he told us about everything.

"She, was kidnapped. By Jake Forrest, our newest recruit." the Ghoulie said. So, Jay was kidnapped by her crazy ex.

"Where is she?!" Sweet Pea repeated, angrier.

"The basement of a Ghoulie bar, near here. I'll show you." We follow the guy out of our bar, and to his bar, in Greendale, I think.

Jayda's POV

Just a regular day being held hostage, you know, what every teenager goes through. Jake had just come in, and I try to ignore the painful punches.

"So, are you going to join us?" Jake asks again. He asks that every day, after punching me, a lot. My face is covered in blood, and I can't see anything.

"N..no!" I said. He punched me around the face again, and pulls a knife from his pocket. I glance at it, eyes wide. Well, that's new. 

"That was your last chance." He said. "Sorry Jayda, you're gonna have to die now." Before he can slit my throat, the door swings open. 

But, this time, it's not Toby and AJ. It's Sweet Pea, Fangs, Toni, Jughead and Dad. Jake drops the knife from his hand.

"Oh, shit." Jake muttered. Sweet Pea, Fangs, Jughead and Dad all go and beat him up, while Toni comes over to untie me.

"Are you okay?!" She exclaimed, catching sight of my face.

"Obviously not." I responded. She smiled, then kneeled down to untie me. I stand up, and I stumble over as I haven't used my legs in a while. Toni catches me, and helps me back up.

By now, Jake is unconscious. Everyone comes over to me, and I'm swallowed by a group hug. When they finally move away, they catch sight of my face.

I'm sure I have at least one black eye, and both eyes are bloodshot. There is an array of cuts and bruises on my face.

"We need to get you to a hospital." Sweet Pea states.

"No, I'm fine." I insist. "I just wanna go home."

-----

When I arrive back home, I sit on the couch with Sweet Pea, who washes my face.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asks me, and dabs a cloth on my cuts. I shrug. "Do you want to talk about it?" 

I stay silent.

"What happened?" he asks me. I sigh.

"I was walking, and then two guys took me into an alley." I explain. "And, then... I was hit on the back of the head, and then I was tied up in a dark room. He hit me everyday, trying to convince me to join him. I said no, every time.

"Then, before you arrived, he said he was going to kill me. If you guys had come five seconds later, I would be dead."

Sweet Pea holds his head in his hands.

"It's my fault." he said. "It's all my fault." I take his hands in mine, and he looks up.

"It's not your fault. It's not your fault that Jake's crazy." I say.  I lean towards him, and kiss his lips. "Can you stay with me?" He nods.

We both fall asleep for the first time in over week, snuggled in my bed. I feel warm and happy now, with Jake, Toby and AJ in jail. Especially Jake.

I keep going over what happened, and the fact that none of this would have happened if I hadn't agreed to date Jake in the first place.

Now, I'll have to pretend it never happened, and return back to my life.
