I feel so stupid. I got to Miami this morning and I'm already in trouble. I was kidnapped by some associates of Grace the second I got here. Grace is crazy I hope that she doesn't include Luisa in all this.
My kidnappers had beaten me up really badly. I could barely open my eyes.
I was starving but they didn't give me anything to eat.
Every now and then I heard small conversations behind the metal door but I couldn't really make anything out of them.
Feels like I've been here forever... in reality it's only been a few hours.
The door opens and someone walks in. It's Grace...
"Oh Rose... you look terrible." Her voice was sarcastic but still somehow seductive.
I didn't answer her. I just looked down.
"Don't wanna talk? That's ok. Your little girlfriend will be here soon... we'll see if she gets you to talk." She giggled a bit whilst walking out of the room and leaving me there alone.
I was so mad. I could feel tears on my face. They had Luisa... the only person in the world I wanted to protect from all this.
I felt so scared. I would do anything for Luisa and looks like Grace knew that.
It doesn't take long until someone opens the door again. This time it's not Grace. It's Luisa... she has a blindfold on and there are two men escorting her. They take her blindfold off and throw her to the ground closing the door and leaving us alone. There's no one else in the room with me and Luisa but I know they are watching us.
"Luisa... are you okay? I'm so sorry" I say under my breath. The tears keep rolling down my cheeks.
Luisa raises her gaze and looks me in the eyes. She immediately gets up and tries to untie me from the chair.
"Lu... speak to me"
She takes a deep breath and continues to untie my hands.

"Rose... I'm tired of this..."

She doesn't say anything else. I feel like I've let her down again... Something has to be done...

At the exact time that Luisa manages to untie my hands from the chair, the door opens once again. It's Grace.

"Well well looks like your girl has come to save you" Grace has a smirk on her face as she steps closer.

I look at Luisa. She's staring at the floor not saying anything.

I gather myself and walk up to Grace.

"I want to have a chat with you G".

Grace nods and we walk out of the room to have some privacy.
