A Different Kind of Addiction - COMPLETE

Ransom

Sad ish I know.

. . . 

Charlie POV

I finish up the sandwich I am making for Mika. I walk into the front room.

"Hey Rosy. Has she come out yet?" I ask Ava she shakes her head sadly. She stands and comes to hug me tightly.

"I'll take this up." she says I nod and she walks upstairs. I worried about Mika it has been nearly a month since Toni disappeared and she has barley even come out of the room. She doesn't eat much and she doesn't talk either. 

We go up sometimes and comfort her. She is always dressed in Toni's clothes and wrapped in the bed. We sit with her for hours and she doesn't speak at all. She is heartbroken.

Toni has really disappeared, she hasn't been to work, bars, restaurants since she left and the press have started to notice her absence. It's worrying because I know that it has something to do with the phone call. She wouldn't have left Mika after all they had been through together, she wouldn't have left us all after how much fun we've been having. There was something wrong about all of this.

Ava Rose POV

I carefully walk upstairs and knock on the door. There is no answer and I slowly walk in. She is staring at the window sprawled in the bed. She turns to look at me as I come in. She sits up and takes the plate from me.

"Thank you Ave." she says. I smile at her and smiles back weakly. We have been making sure that she eats regularly and is healthy other wise she wouldn't be eating at all.

"Hey sweety. Fancy going for a walk today." I say rubbing her back. She looks out of the window and her eyes light up.

"I know a place. That Toni loves. Can we go there?" she says

"Of course baby." I say. She smiles and leans into me. We sit in silence while she finishes the sandwich. She then gets up and gets into a pair of jeans and Toni's shirt. She brushes her hair and her teeth. I walk down the stairs with her and put the plate in the kitchen.

"Mika. Are you alright." Asia asks wearily. She has been taking Toni leaving really badly as well. 

"Um yeah. I was wondering if you could take me to the garden." Mika said to Asia. Mika then turns to me and says

"Only because-" I inturupt her

"Its alright go on." Her and Asia leave the house.

Asia POV

I hold Mika's hand as we walk out to my car. She gets in the passenger seat and smiles.

"Are you sure you want to go?" I ask and she nods at me with her eyes closed. I start the car and we drive to the garden, we get there in about half an hour. Tears begin coming down her face as we walk up the hill leading to the opening. I put my arms around her and she holds my arms tightly.

I watch her carefully as we walk there. She freezes suddenly and stares. She breaks out of my hold and runs into the garden. I run after her and see what she was looking at.

Lying on the floor by a bench was Toni. 

Toni was tied up with duck tape, she looked horrible, she was bleeding and bruised she had cuts all over her face and her hair was matted with blood, she was in a ripped and dirty t-shirt and jogging bottoms.

Mika ran up to her crying. She tapped Toni and she jolted awake. Toni opened her eyes and looked around her, when he eyes landed on Mika the began to water. She shook her head and her eyes were filled with raw fear. Mika took the tape off of her mouth.

"No Mika leave now. Go." she says, her voice horse and she winced with each word as if it hurt to speak.

"It is too late for that. You fell for our trap." A man come out of no where walking towards Toni and kicking her in the side. I lunge towards him but I am grabbed from behind and pushed onto the floor. I look behind me and there is large man holding me down as I try to get to Mika.

"Marcus what are you doing." Mika says looking at the man.

"Oh poor sister. You couldn't fall out of love with her. I knew you wouldn't I just thought you were  more resilient than that." he says. He grabs Toni by her hair and yanks her up, Toni winces but doesn't make a sound. Mika puts her hands over her mouth in fear

"What lil sis. Not happy to see me?" he asks her.

"Why would anyone be happy to see you. You look worse than be on your best days." Toni says weakly with a smirk. Marcus punches her in the face and she falls to the floor. Toni spits out blood and coughs violently.

Mika rushes towards her but Marcus stands between them.

"no no no no, That is not how this is going to go."

"Let her go Marcus." she says. He put his hands on her shoulders and she flinches. I desperately try and get out the mans grip

"You had better tell your friend to calm down." Marcus says to her. Mika turns her head to look at me and she shakes her head. I relax slightly and let the guy hold me down again.

"This is how it is going to go. You are going to give me your half of fathers money and anything else he left you, then you will get your precious girlfriends back." 

"No Mika. Say no." Toni yells out and Marcus kicks her in the stomach really hard and she starts coughing again. A second man goes to grab Mika as she tries to reach for Toni.

"Why are you doing this?" she asks crying.

"Father gave you more. I did everything for him, I did whatever he wanted me to do for him. I stole, hurt and learnt what he wanted. All you did was run away and rebel against him but he still wanted to give you more than me. You got his love and I got his hate. When you left he was even harder on me. What makes you so special? Then I thought to myself. How about I take something away from you.

So I called your precious girlfriend here, and told her if she didn't leave you I would kill you and all she loved. She got very annoyed and was about to threaten me when I told her that we knew where all of them lived and where they were all day. She calmed down and left. I let her think that she was going to be able to move country or something, we let her write her letter to you all and then we took her. 

I have been watching how in pain all of you have been because of her disappearance, to be honest it disgusted me but then I realised you would do anything to get her back. So here I am using her as leverage to get what I want.

Give me the money and you get her back."

"No Mika." Toni says. Marcus looks at some guy and he come over to put tape back on Toni's mouth, Toni kicks him in the nuts and tries to roll away but he strike at her and knocks her out. He put the tape over her mouth and smiles at us. I look at Toni who is laying on the floor covered in blood unconsious.

A tear drops down my face.

"Okay I will give you my share." Mika says not taking her eyes off of Toni.

"Good. Meet us here in two days with the car and passwords. I swear if you bring any police I will kill her. 7 o'clock in the evening Mikayla. dont be late." 

There is a pain the back of my head and I see Marcus hit Mika and her pass out. Then everything goes completely black.
