After their hot night together, Logan and Leah woke up happily. Since they didn't expect Emmy to come home, they didn't suspect anything, until Leah found the message on her phone.

"Logan, someone wrote a message from my phone, while we were... you know."
"What if Nicole broke in?"-Logan panicked.
"And what if she did something to Emmy?"-Leah's face turned pale-"Let's go and see if she's with James."
"She must be with him"-Logan tried calming her, but deep down, both of them knew the truth.

They barged into the guys' appartment.

"Where's Emmy?"
"What are you talking about?"-James jumped up-"Somebody broke into your apartment, so you texted her to go back."
"Leah was with me all along, she couldn't have texted Emmy"-Logan explained.
"Where is she, James?"-Leah looked at the guy pleadingly-"Please, tell me she came back here."
"She didn't"-he glanced at the floor.

Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm, Leah took a deep breath, but fear overcame her.

"This is all your fault!"
"What do you mean it's my fault?"-James crossed his arms-"How could I have known that that message was fake?"
"Still, you shouldn't have let Emmy go back alone!"-Leah yelled.
"Hey, I wasn't the one having sex, while she was being kidnapped!"
"Even if I had been sleeping, I probably wouldn't have woken up to any kind of noise."
"Excuses, as always"-James rolled his eyes-"You could've saved her."
"You weren't supposed to leave her side at all!"-Leah repeated.
"Enough!"-Mama Panya stepped between them-"Fighting isn't going to get us anywhere. I know that everyone's worried right now, but we should calm down a bit, so we can come up with a plan."
"You're right"-Kendall nodded-"With Logan and Leah's intelligence, our maturity, plus James and Carlos'..."
"Good looks and strength"-Carlos helped him out.
"Yeah, that"-Kendall waved his hand, then finished his speech-"Together we can do this."
"So, genius couple, what's the plan?"-James turned to Leah and Logan.
"We have to find out who kidnapped Emmy and where she is kept"-Logan started-"The answer to the first question is pretty obvious (Nicole), so let's move on to the second."
"Should we check the Palmwood's basement?"-Carlos asked.
"No, it would be too obvious"-Leah shook her head-"We have to dig deeper."
"So under the basement"-Carlos grabbed a spade.
"She meant that we should dig deeper in Nicole's mind"-Kendall enlightened him-"James?"
"Just because I dated her, doesn't mean I know her best"-James raised a hand in defence-"I mean, I didn't even suspect that she was mental until she broke in."
"He's got a point"-Carlos commented-"Let's ask Leah, she's always right."

Every eye turned to the girl, who was already thinking deeply. After a few minutes of silence, she hit her forehead.

"How did I not realise this sooner? Oh my God, it was so obvious!"
"Would you fill us in?"-Mama Panya questioned excitedly.
"Nicole told James everything, either because she didn't think he'd tell us and we'd figure it out or because she wants us to fall into her trap. Either way, I'm almost sure Emmy is kept hostage where I was kept a year ago."
"But that means that Tyler's involved as well..."-Kendall added, slowly realising what Leah did-"That's insane. Emmy's two enemies teamed up to avange everything she did (or at least they think she did) to them."
"We have to find her now"-Mama Panya slammed on the dining table.

*Meanwhile*

"Nicole, where are you, you bitch?!"-Emmy shouted, kicking the chair she was tied to.
"I'm here and I brought you a guest"-Nicole walked in with Tyler.
"Long time no see, Stone."
"You two teamed up to kidnap me?"-Emmy looked from Tyler to Nicole-"How romantic. You would make a really cute psycho couple."
"Joke all you want, but you won't be so happy after what we're about to do to you"-Nicole stepped to her-"We're going to pay back for everything you put us through... by destroying you mentally."
"I'm not afraid of you"-Emmy scoffed-"You seriously think you can do anything to hurt me?"
"You've always underestimated me, even though I kidnapped Leah, almost killed you and got you into jail"-Tyler spat-"But what's about to come is worse than any of this. Nicole, you know what to do."

Nicole dialed a number on Emmy's phone and put it on speaker. Soon, David's voice could be heard.

"Emmy, are you there?"
"Dad, I'm so glad to hear your voice"-Emmy let out a breath of relief-"Are you at home?"
"Yes, but not alone, unfortunately..."-David answered mysteriously-"Look, I don't have much time left, so I'll get to the point. I love you and you're one of the best things that ever happened to me."
"Why does this sound like you're saying goodbye?"
"Please, let me finish"-David interrupted her-"You're one of the strongest people I know, and no matter how hard they try, don't let them break you, okay? So after you hear the gunshot, don't lose it and don't start crying."
"What are you talking about?"-Emmy's voice trembled.
"Bye, Emmy."
"Please don't do this, I love you..."

A gunshot cut her off. Nicole hung up, then looked at Emmy, waiting for her reaction. But her face was emotionless. Don't let them break you, her father's words echoed in her head, so she tried her best not to let a single teardrop fall.

"Your dad had it coming"-Tyler spoke, playing with her nerves-"His wife had just left him, he was unhappy, so sooner or later, he would've killed himself. We only did him a favour."
"You can call me names, you can break me, hell, you can even kill me, but don't you ever dare talk about him like that again"-Emmy hissed, clenching her fists.
"Look at how pathetic she is, Tyler"-Nicole laughed-"Trying to act tough, when she's nothing but a miserable girl who likes to destroy lives... and steal boyfriends."
"James was never yours and deep down you know that. That's why you kidnapped me, am I right?"
"If I can't have him, no one can"-Nicole stated.
"And don't even let me get started on you, Tyler"-Emmy completely ignored her-"You're still mad at me because of Hannah, but the real reason behind all of this is your unhealthy obsession with me. I rejected you because of James and you hate me for it."
"Because we were meant to be together, but you broke my already broken heart and I'm going to do the same to you."
"Try me"-Emmy raised an eyebrow.
"I think it's time to show her the video"-Tyler ordered Nicole-"Start the projector."
"Projector, really? Wow, I feel like I'm in a modern thriller"-Emmy joked, in attempt to seem stronger-"Are you going to show me the story of my life and tell me what a disappointment I am? Not gonna work."
"No, we're about to show you how Hannah died"-Nicole pushed a button and a video started playing-"Your idiot of an ex-boyfriend made a sex tape."
"A sex tape...?"-Emmy whispered, staring at the scene in disgust. Hearing George's arrogant voice made her blood boil, then seeing how he threw himself on her unconscious sister... Don't let them break you, she repeated her father's last words in herself. But it was all too much, and after George stabbed Hannah, she lost it.
"Make it stop!"-she sobbed-"I'm already broken, what else do you psychos want?! First Tyler took my freedom, then Nicole my boyfriend, and now I'm losing everything and everyone! What would satisfy you, huh? If I killed myself right in front of your eyes?"
"Where would be the fun in that?"-Tyler grabbed her face-"It was just the beginning, bitch. The big finale is coming soon and I can assure you, it's gonna rip you to shreds..."
