                       Minutes later Carlos, having a smile from ear to ear, sees Dahlia with the most beautiful dress ever. Red as a garden of roses. As she's getting in his car he suddenly feels like fainting. On their way to prom they pass multiple red lights but Carlos is just thinking in his mind better to be late because he likes talking to her and feeling her right next to him. Unfortunately this one red light that changed their lives. In that particular red light three big black vans surround the car making it almost impossible to escape. Before Carlos could think of anything to help, he remembered the windows were wide open and before the thought of closing them came to his mind, he felt a wet cloth cover half his face and suddenly blacked out. 4 days of them missing that felt like thirty minutes to them. Dahlia woke hours before Carlos did because they had drugged them so they don't get up or are not stable enough to escape. Carlos got "accidently" more drugs injected into him than Dahlia. When both were semi awake someone across the room from them let out a loud groan that scared them both to be wide awake. The room was dark so they didn't know which way the sound came from which made it 10 times scarier. Although there was this little light and under it seemed to be a figure almost a person standing 2 inches away from the light. Made it hard to see if it was a person since the light wasn't helping very much. Seconds later what Carlos thought was a person did turn out to be someone but didn't expect that particular person. Dahlia was tied up behind Carlos; she couldn't really see anything till she took the effort to atleast get a little sneak peek of who it was, something she instantly regretted. She noticed that person hiding in the dark was her ex from knowing him for almost 9 years and dating him for 3 years. At that instant she remembered everything he had done to her and how much he had hurted her before. Many things happened in between them and when Dahlia was brave enough to break up with him she did but nothing really good came out of it. Carlos saw her stare at him for like 5 minutes. He was starting to feel something he has never felt before. Jealousy; but all that changed as he felt a warm drop of water on his hand. He suddenly felt bad and angry at the world because he couldn't have one good night with her. The guy in the dark starts to walk towards them and Dahlia is shaking uncontrollably and Carlos is thinking of any way to help her. When Jiovani (her ex) gets close enough Carlos tries to kick his foot in hope of tripping him or something. Jiovani just managed to dodge it and steps on his foot which broke his ankle in that instant. Carlos tried to contain himself, he was begging and praying to god that he doesn't do anything to her and before Jiovani could touch her, a loud ringing noise from Dahlia's purse breaks the deadly silence and a man that was hiding in the dark comes out and takes her purse. He takes out her phone and puts it close to her face so she can unlock it, she denies opening it and the guy throws it. The shattering noise of the phone also shattered her heart. Not minutes later there's about 6-10 guys surrounding the couple in an awkward silence.A loud bang disrupts the silence and all the guys seemed to be scared and nervous. They Inject more drugs in them so they go to sleep and they all left the place. Both thrown in that same black van, they rush to a place where they have a private jet. Half way through the flight Carlos gets up and is majorly confused of why they were on a plane. He was exhausted and decided to go to sleep. Hours later Dahlia, still unconscious, Jiovani takes both of them out and Carlos is awakened by the bright sun. He said "what are we doing here?" Jiovani replied with a grin "oh.... Here? Well actually long story but we are technically saving both of your lives". Carlos, still confused, remembered about Dahlia. Before Carlos could say anything, Jiovani said" and if you are wondering, Dahlia is at the hospital right now getting checked for the drugs". Carlos noticed he said "drugs" with a very sarcastic face but didn't question it. One of the guys that was with Jiovani brought him a rolling bed so they could take him to the hospital and check his ankle. Coincidentally both Dahlia's and Carlos' rooms were right across from each other and he always had the chance to check up on her to see if she would wake up. 3 days later she was pronounced to be in a coma and Carlos' heart fell down to the ground. Almost 4 months of her being in a coma Carlos couldn't take it anymore. That night, Jiovani went in his room to check on him and Carlos was just there laying on his bed with a note on his sheets. "Im sorry Dahlia but i'll be always watching you from above, don't forget that you still owe me that dance. Haha i was kidding but pleaseee don't let anyone put you down.... I Love You Dahlia Perez. LOVE, Carlos" Dahlia never woke up and she was pronounced dead on the day after Carlos passed away.
