** Kenslea's POV: **


My head snapped up when i heard the voice, i instantly recognize it. No, this can't be!


"Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends?" I asked my voice cracking as i felt the betrayal consume me.


"Oh, please! Do you know how fucking hard it was pretending to be your friend? Pretending that i liked you?" Cindy demanded. "You should have just stayed gone, Kenslea! You were nothing before, you were a nobody. Then you disappear and come back a model, and perfect, and everybody just loves you. But you couldn't just be happy that you were finally skinny and pretty could you? You had to come back and steal my boyfriend. Oh, but it wasn't just my boyfriend you wanted to steal.... isn't that right Nikki?" Nikki? Who the fuck is Nikki?!


"That's right! You had to come and steal Tadley from me too..." A tall skinny brunette joined Cindy and was glaring at me. I've never seen this girl in my life! "Look, honey, i don't know you. And i don't want to hurt you, all i want is my man back, but you just had to go and get engaged to him didn't you? That should be my ring, that should be my house, it should be my life with Tadley. You took it all away from me!" She came over and back handed me hard, i cried out in pain as i felt my lip split open and tasted the metallic taste of blood that started filling my mouth. I spit it out and looked up at them.


"I don't even want Reese! I haven't talked to him since i told him to get out of my life! And i don't even know who you are, when i saw Tadley again when i came back home he was single. I didn't take him from you." I insisted.


"You did take him though, because we would have gotten back together, we always got back together. But then you had to come back in and you took him from me. He wouldn't meet up with me, he wouldn't return my phone calls or my texts, he blocked my fucking number and told his receptionist not to let me anywhere near him! You ruined everything!" She screamed at me angrily.


"It doesn't matter that you turned Reese down, he still wants you! He still texts me asking how you are doing. He never wanted you before, never gave you the time of day. Yet you come back and suddenly i'm not good enough for him anymore, suddenly he wants you, suddenly he can't stop thinking about you." She came over and ripped my head back hard by my hair, i think she ripped some of it out and i cried out in pain as she punched me in the face and then pushed the chair over so i landed on my side hard, slamming my head against the concrete floor.


They both started kicking me in the ribs, the stomach, and the face until i passed out from the pain and from hitting my head against the concrete.


** Tadley's POV: **


"Have you seen this girl?" I asked an older man, showing him a picture of Kenslea. We've been walking around for hours now asking anyone and everyone if they've seen her. Every time we get the same answer. 'No.' The older man shook his head apologetically before walking away.


I raked my hand through my hair in frustration as the knot in my throat grew bigger and bigger. Someone had to have seen something, she couldn't have just disappeared into thin air. We've been walking up and down the streets near Evan's company asking anyone who was outside, we've been going into every store asking if they've seen anything. I ripped at my hair and felt hot angry tears start rolling down my face, i looked up at the sky and then that's when i seen it... Why didn't i think of it sooner?!


Right fucking there in front of the company is a traffic camera, i watched as it moved around taking in the street. I looked across from where i was standing and saw another one. It had to have caught the car speeding away out of the parking lot! I immediately ran to Jason and told him what i found and then called Officer Fischer and asked him to look at the traffic cams.


"I'm coming, baby. I'm going to find you..." I promised.


** Kenslea's POV: **


Every time i came to, i got a new beating, sometimes it was with their fists and feet, sometimes it was with the nearest object to them.


"I don't think she's quite getting it, what do you think Nik? Should we make it a little clearer?" Cindy questioned with a smirk on her face.


"Hmmmm, i think so!" Nikki agreed mirroring her smirk. I watched in horror as they both brought a pocket knife out and flicked it open. Oh God, please let me make it out of here alive...


I started shaking as they both lifted the chair and slammed it back against the wall so i was sitting in an upward position again, then they came closer to me with the knives.


"Please, please stop." I begged them. "I'll leave, i'll go back to T-Texas and you can have them!" I sobbed desperately wanting them to just stop. There was no way in hell i was leaving Tadley, but they didn't need to know that. I was just saying anything that they wanted to hear, so that i could try to make it out of here alive.


"I think it's a little too late for that, sweetheart." Nikki said rolling her eyes at me.


"Yeah, they would just follow you. We still would only be second best to you! Now, if you were completely out of the picture, then they'll have no choice but to come back to us." Cindy shrugged.


Oh, God, i'm going to die here... I'm going to die today. I'm going to die before i've even had a chance to start my life with Tadley.. I felt the first slice of the blade as Nikki stabbed me in the thigh. I screamed out in pain and watched in horror as the blood started soaking through my shorts, and running down my leg. I felt the nausea in my stomach and before i could hold it back i threw up, to the side making them both scream and jump back in disgust.


"Easy, Nik! I think we need to draw this out, take our time, make sure we're the last thing she ever sees..." Cindy grinned. They walked back over and i felt them slicing my arms, making nicks on my neck, collarbone, and cheek. Then they started the stabbing. My stomach, and shoulder seemed to be their main target. I could feel the blood dripping from my mouth and my head started swimming. I dropped my head and closed my eyes hoping they thought i passed out and would leave.


It must have worked because i heard their footsteps walking away and then a door slam. As soon as they were gone i started trying to free my wrists. I wasn't dying here, not like this! As i was jerking around i felt a prick from a nail sticking out of the wall, i started sawing at the ropes against the nail. It took longer than i hoped because i was getting weaker and weaker and more tired at the blood loss and over exertion i was putting in trying to get free but i didn't stop. I had to get out of here, i'm not dying today, not like this! I wouldn't allow it!


Finally i felt the rope give and i quickly unwrapped it from my wrists and got up and grabbed a pipe off of the floor that they had used to beat me with earlier. I went and hid in the shadows waiting for them to come back down. I didn't have to wait long, the door opened and i heard footsteps slowly walking down the steps and i held my breath and willed my eyes to stay open, i'm so tired, so weak....


"What the hell?!" Cindy shrieked in panic.


"How the fuck did she get loose?!" Nikki demanded.


With the last strength i had in my body i flew forward and smacked them in the head with the pipe as hard as i could. They both sank to the ground unconscious and i made my way to the stairs. I tripped and was too weak to stand so i started pulling my way up the stairs.


Come on, Kenslea! Hurry up before they wake up! I begged my body to move faster. As i reached the top of the stairs i pulled myself to a standing position and walked up and slammed the door shut flipping the lock. I sagged against the door for a second as my vision began swimming from the over exertion and the blood loss but i pushed myself to keep going. I found my way to the front door and walked out... I was just stumbling down the steps when i bumped into a solid chest and started panicking.


"No! Please, please, no more!" I sobbed. Then the blood loss and exhaustion took over and everything faded to black as i passed out.
