Step A little closer to me

Chapter 14

*Lizas POV*   

      I was awaken by a rustling sound in the corner of the room. My head was throbbing and sore. I was sitting upright in a wooden chair in the middle of the room, a rope fastening my arms and legs together. I slowly turned my head to the noise, still being extremely stiff. Ty was rummaging through a cardboard box, throwing things left and right, cursing to himself. He looked up and found me weakly staring at him. "Great! You're up" He smiled and pulled a black mask and the computer out of the box and walked over to me. "How do you feel?" He asked placing the back of his hand on my forehead. Unable to speak, I only looked up at him with tired eyes. He smiled and said "Perfect."

     The laptop was now facing me, a webcam strapped to the top capturing my torso to my head. I was still pretty woozy from the encounter earlier, so my vision wasn't at it's finest, but I could make out the dark spots on my face that were bruises and the red cut on my lip. My hair was a mess and I hadn't eaten in a few days. I looked miserable. 

     "Alright so basically all I need you to do is look at the camera. Don't say anything, or we'll have some problems. Go it?" Ty demanded while sliding on the black mask. I sat still, still disoriented, but he took it as a yes and continued on. A little red light came on above the screen after he pressed play and he began to talk. 

     "Hello Zayn, I've noticed your several attempts at trying to find Liza, you even got the FBI involved. She appreciates your attempts, but has enjoyed her time here with me as you can see." He paused and rubbed my bruised arm. I winced a little, either from the bruises or his touch, I'm not sure. "You might as well just give up now and move on with your life, it's not like you can't find another woman." He let out a low chuckle and faced me, placed a light kiss on my cheek and turned back to the camera. "She's mine." He backed away from the camera and left me sitting there. A small tear trailed down my cheek and silently hit the floor. The little red light disappeared and he shut the computer. "Now I'll just send that to your little man friend and we can finally be together, forever" Ty's voice trailed outside. The word Forever bounced around in my head, causing more tears to fall. 

*Zayns POV*

     Rehearsals were going extremely slowly and being distracted wasn't helping at all. We played Madison Square Garden tomorrow night, and we had been rehearsing our arses off since last week. Rock Me would be the last song we rehearsed for the day, but I was just ready to leave now. "Alright boys, Rock Me then you can go rest." John our choreographer and sound producer yelled from the empty audience chairs below us. The guitars began playing and the drums started beating, but somehow I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. "HOLD ON" I yelled and pulled out my phone. "Zayn, you can't stop in the middle of rehearsal to take a phone call!" John yelled. I ignored him and walked backstage to hear better. I received a video message from an unknown number. I pressed play and saw something that instantly took my breath away, making me feel like I was hit by a train. 

     My feet were pounding against the ground as I ran through the streets of downtown New York. I didn't care who saw me, or who tried to stop me, this needed to get to the police now. The sight of Liza beaten and out of it made my eyes flood with tears, but I didn't let that stop me. 

     I burst through the doors of the police station and ran to the front desk. "Excuse me, I'm Zayn, my girlfriend Liza was kidnapped and it's been all over the news, You've probably seen it, but I just received this video, can you please track it or something?" I talked really quickly and out of breath. The lady held her hand out for my phone and watched the video. Her eyes grew a little bit wider then they normally were, and waved me towards the door behind her. "Please come with me." She said opening the door. This was it, in a few hours, I could possibly have Liza back with me, forever and always.
