Kelsey's POV

Today.
Today's the day we escape.
The light of the evening illuminates the concrete room, and I hear a car driving in.
After that, I hear a car door slam and the door to the building being unlocked.
Luke walks in.
"You guys ready to get out of here?" He says, gesturing to the open door.
"What do you mean?" Harry says, looking confused. Zayn looks confused as well.
"Me and him made a deal, if he helps all 3 of us escape, I won't tell his girlfriend, who happens to also be my best friend, that he was involved in my disappearance." I explain.
"Thanks for explaining, now can we just get out of here? I need real food instead of the stale bread and water." Zayn says.
"Yep. Where do you guys want to be dropped off?" Luke asks.
"My apartment would be great." I say.
"Me and Harry can just go to our apartments as well." Zayn says.
"Alright, let's go." Luke states, gesturing for us to climb in the car.
We all get in and Luke drives us back into town, the drive only takes about 15 minutes.
We make stops to drop off Harry and Zayn.
Then we finally arrive at my apartment.
"Thanks." I say.
"Tell nobody I helped you out, ok? And remember not to tell Jocelyn." Luke demands.
"I won't, I won't." I respond, shutting the door, and he drives away.
I walk up and unlock the door of my apartment.
The first thing I do is get some food, because I am absolutely starving.
Once, I finish my food, I decide to take a shower.
SHIT. I forgot to tell Niall and Jocelyn and the others that I'm not missing anymore.
I am about to call Niall when I get a knock on the door.
That might be him!
I rush to the door and fling it open, but instead of being happy about who I see, I'm fearful.
Ashton is standing in the door.
"GO AWAY!" I tell, trying to shut the door.
He stops the door from shutting with his hands.
"I'm afraid I can't do that...." he says, walking closer to me.
I back up and he keeps walking in until he can shut the door behind him.
Damn it!
"Why?" Is all I manage to say.
"Because, you see, I can't let you be free like this. I heard of that little deal you made with my friend, well, EX-friend Luke. You explained it, I heard it!" He says with a smirk.
"What do you mean by ex-friend? And how did you hear it?"
"Well, he's no longer a part of my group anymore, he broke my trust when he helped you escape."
"How did you find out about it?"
"I followed Luke out to the building and heard you explain you and Luke's whole little bargain to Harry and Zayn. You tried. You thought you could outsmart me...." He says angrily, stepping closer to me.
"Please don't hurt me or them." I plead.
"Oh, I won't hurt them. The only person I want is you.....and I could care less about what happens to them."
"W-what do you mean?"
"This." He says simply as I feel a sharp pain at the back of my head, and my world goes black.
