CHARLIE'S POV

The line was dead and the last thing that I heard was Emily screaming for help. What's going on? Who's got her? What are they doing to her? I ran downstairs and shouted to my mum that I was going out and ran to Jordi's, calling Leo to meet us there on route.

I need to talk to her again. Someone's obviously got hold of her. Emily sounded terrified.

It took me about five minutes, sprinting, to reach Jordi's. By which time Leo was there. He opened the door for me and we went into the lounge.

"What's up Charlie? Leo just said that you told him to meet you here and something to do with Emily..." Jordi said.

"Well I was on the phone to her asking her how her first rehearsals back went when all of a sudden, she started screaming and shouting for help and for me to help her. Then the line went dead," I said flustered and out of breath.

"Is, is she alright?" Leo asked worriedly.

"I don't know. Jordi what are we going to do?"

"The only thing we can do,"

"What?" Leo and I both asked.

"We need to get over there,"

"When?" Leo asked.

"I'll ring Blair now to try and get us some last minute tickets. I think I heard on the TV that there's a flight tonight. You too go home, tell Karen, Victoria and Antonio the situation and pack a bag for New York. I'll also ring Harvey, Ollie, Andy, Ryan and Joey to get them do the same. If we're going to save Emily, we will need more of us," Jordi informed. It's a good thing we have him here when we need him.

We did as Jordi had instructed and about 2hours later, Leo and I were back at Jordi's along with Harvey and the others. Blair had got some last minutes tickets for a flight tonight. We piled into the car and made a b line for the airport. On the way, I rang Emy's phone to see if she'd pick up.

No answer.

I left an answerphone message, incase she could get to her phone.

"Emy? Baby? Are you okay? If you get this ring me back asap. I need to know if you're okay. Jordi, Leo, Harvey, Ollie, Andy, Ryan, Joey and I are heading to Leeds-Bradford airport now and we are coming to help you. Stay strong princess, don't let them hurt you. I'll come rescue you, I promise. I love you,"

Then we were at the airport. We rushed through customs and in no time at all, we were sat on the plane. I had Leo and Harvey either side of me, comforting me. But all I wanted to know was: Is Emily okay?

EMILY'S POV

When I was walking down through Times Square, I was on the phone to Charlie when suddenly, two masked men grabbed hold of me and started dragging me into the back of a van. I shouted down the phone to Charlie but then the line cut off and I had been blindfolded.

Now I'm sat alone in a cold, dark room with a single, wooden bed in the corner with a small duvet. A toilet and a sink. My eyes sting from so many tears. I just want to go back to my flat and have Charlie with me to tell me everything is going to be ok. But in reality, I'm stuck in this hell hole with no way of knowing when I can even see daylight again... If I see daylight again...

Suddenly, I hear a rustling of keys and a loud sound of a lock bring turned and the heavy wooden door open, revealing the two masked men once again. I began to panic and scurried into the back corner, my breathing up getting faster by the mili-second.

"Come here," the taller one growled and they grabbed my arms and dragged me out of my cell and down the corridor to a room with grey walls and a desk near a big window that looked to be about 7 floors high.

The men threw me to the floor and stood at either side of me; about three metres away. I was petrified.

Then a door, that I hadn't noticed, opened on the right side and two people walked in.

Sam and Lauren!

What? Sam? What's he doing here? Is he here to help me?

I rushed to my feet and ran to him.

"Sam! Sam! I'm so glad your here! Please, take me home!" I yelled and hugged him tightly. He didn't do anything apart from say to the two men.

"Get her off of me,"

The realisation hit me like a brick. Sam wasn't here to help me, he was here to hurt me alongside Lauren. I knew something was fishy about her. I just never knew either of them would go to this measure.

I was thrown back onto my knees which were now red.

"Ha. I knew you would come back to New York. Leaving precious Charlie behind are we? I warned you I wasn't finished with you. I can't believe you fell for it. How stupid are you?" Lauren spat.

"Sam?" I whispered. "How could you,"

"You actually thought I'd care about a friendship with you? It was all a set up from more or less the start. You left and got back with Charlie and I got Lauren back. Yes you heard right... Back. I made up that stupid story about my friend so that I could have her back as Charlie had fallen for her. He was just used as a character in our little game. I hate you. Always have. Unfortunately for you, tonight is your first night back on Broadway, yes? Well, it looks like you're in a bit of a pickle seeing as your stuck here now, aren't you. I would be a shame if, hmmm. I don't know... Lauren was to take your place!" Sam sniggered menacingly.

"Sam please don't!" I yelled.

"Come on baby, we have a performance to prepare for before we show her who really is boss. Take her away!" Sam shouted before looping his arm around Lauren and walking out the same door as he came through earlier.

I turned to my side to see both men coming at me to grab me once again. I fought against them but their grasp was too tight. I wrestled and wrestled but each tad I got hurt a little more. I went for the man to the right's mask. I snatched it off.

It's Brad!...
