Sawyer

I think I've earned the nickname as the least helpful human being alive. I just happened to remember when we were a couple of towns over that I had stuck a pair of sunglasses in my pockets that morning of the day Chloe and I were kidnapped. How I didn't think about them being there when we were looking for good disguises amongst everything we carried I have no idea. They would be the most helpful thing that I've done all day, if I offered them up, that's for sure.

When the other boys all let out sighs of annoyance, I quickly pulled the sunglasses out and widened my eyes. "I umm-I swear I didn't remember that these were there until now, but I just remembered that I grabbed these the other day. I thought it would be nice and warm and not, well you know, quite chilly out like it is."

I earned myself a few sets of apparent eye rolls. Hey it's not my fault that I totally forgot that I have my sunglasses with me! Well yeah, it is my fault, but hah no one needs to know that. It can just be my little secret that I keep inside of me for the rest of my life. Unless other people figured it out. Which they probably did, aha.

Anyways, a unanimous vote was to give Chloe the glasses. We can easily cover her up in clothes that 'The Daylighters' have been carrying around with them. Since people around town: like the cops, her family, etc. for examples would recognize what she was wearing from before since it was still the same dress from that day, and give her the big sunglasses which would be able to cover up half of her face since she is quite small for her age.

So that's exactly what we did. We found a Wal-Mart store and hid out while Chloe went inside and bought enough sunglasses and hats for all of us to disguise ourselves and make it easier to walk around in a larger town without having to hide like we're on the run from the insane asylum or something.

She returned outside carrying everything and we all were about to quickly put them on before getting out of our hiding spots and walking again, but before we could get over to her, a guy wearing a really heavy red jacket and black ski glasses came over and blindfolded her, gagged her with a towel and dragged her over to a big black SUV.

I didn't know why we didn't just go the police station before instead of risking it and getting disguises! You'd think they could understand that I wouldn't have kidnapped Chloe, plus an entire band. That's absolutely stupid! I'd have no reason to do it. Neither would any of them for that matter, so they shouldn't be able to be put in jail either. Questioning I understand yes for all of us, but nothing other than that!

But no. We were so stupid and utterly fucked. I wonder if we'd be better off hiding? Or would we be better off summoning ourselves to this guy and be kidnapped again. It's just...bloody ridiculous. I'm so damn sick of this and wanting to go home! And by home I don't mean a hotel room, or London, or the flat that I share with Gabriel every once in a while, I mean Cambridge.

It might sound completely silly, but because I don't have a girlfriend at the moment I'd gladly go there and get cuddles from my mum or from my sisters. They'd at least have nice and warm arms and I wouldn't have to worry about freezing my ass off in this blustery cold Minnesota weather. I really miss them...

The other lads all widened their eyes when they'd seen what this man had done. And no, I'm not calling him B because this man is quite larger around the middle! I'm assuming B either has an accomplice or there's another dangerous person all together. The bad part is we know B is a weakling and that was proven by Chloe's actions earlier, but we have no idea what this man is capable of. He could actually be planning to kill her we don't know. That's why we absolutely need to get her away from him.

"Let's go!" I shouted to the lads, grabbing the suitcases that I'd been carrying earlier, running towards the road, and stepped directly in the line of where the SUV is going to hit if it continues to drive any further. I guess we are indeed risking our lives for this teenage girl, but I'm beyond caring. We all care about her now so there's no way we wouldn't do it. She's a great friend to us.
