Aria's p.o.v.

3 weeks later

The clock just turned 9:31. I looked across the roof at the woods and wiped my tears. Is Hayes even looking for me? I'm starting to lose hope. Maybe I should just stay with Matthew... Speaking of Matt, I hear his voice yelling for me from down stairs. I wiped away the last few tears and took in a deep breath, climbing back through on of the bedroom windows.

"Aria where are you? I want to take you shopping today!" Matthew sings from the kitchen. I mean he's been treating me nicely for the most part and... Who am I kidding I hate him.

"At a mall?" I ask, walking into the kitchen. He smiles and comes over to me pecking my lips.

"Yup! And we could even see a movie if you wanted!" He says happily. I throw on a fake smile and sit at the table.

"What time do you want to leave?" I ask as he sits next to me.

"Around 11... We could leave earlier if you wanted..." He says. I smile again and stand up, heading to the bedroom. I go over to my suitcase and throw on a pair of blue jeans and a light pink sweater with the word smile on the front. I pulled my hair into a side braid and decided to leave my face natural. I head back downstairs and told Matt that I was ready to go. We got in the car and sped off toward the mall.

"Can we go to JCPenney? I saw a commercial for some new boots I wanted." I say, looking around. We walked into the mall and he nodded.

"Sure, I'll help you find them." He smiles, grabbing my hand. I faked, yet again, another smile, I seemed to be getting better at doing that... We walked toward jcp and I started seeing more stores I wanted to go to. We walked into the store and headed toward the shoes. We quickly finished and went too look around for more stuff.

"Hey... Uhm can I go into Victoria's Secret? I need more bras and underwear..." I say, letting go of his hand.

"Sure I'll be right over in The Shoe Dept. if you need me." He says, walking away. I walk in and find a blue bra with matching underwear and a few more womanly things.

"Aria? What are you doing here?" A voice asks from behind me. I spin around to see him. Oh my god.

"CAMERON!!" I say hugging him tightly.

"I heard about Matt kidnapping you! Why are you here? Hayes is so worried!" He rushes, looking me over.

"Cam. He did. He'll kill Hayes if I escape. Please leave. I wouldn't make it back to Cali before Matt told his friend to kill him." I say. He shakes his head and looks nervously toward the door.

"Listen tell me where Matt is holding you and I'll have the police come!" He says. My heart starts beating rapidly.

"I don't know. This is the first time I've been out since he's taken me. All I know is it's about 30 minutes away from here and it's a huge mansion in some woods." I say quietly. He nods and takes his phone out.

"Do you want to talk to Hayes?" He asks. I smile and nod my head quickly, like I was still that crazy fangirl. He dials the number and puts the phone up to his ear.

"Hey Cam what's up?" He says glumly, making my heart break.

"Listen. There's someone here to talk to you." He says, handing me the phone.

"Hello?" He asks, once Cam had finished talking.

"Hayes!" I say, a tear slipping out of my eye. It felt so good hearing his voice for the first time in a while.

"Aria?! What?! Wait?! Where are you?! How-Why are you with Cameron?!" Hayes asks, all tiredness sucked out of his voice.

"Hayes listen. Matt took me to the mall and Cam was here, I told him where I'm staying but I can't leave yet... Matthew said he'd kill you! Please just wait for me baby okay?" I ask. I finish telling him all about the mansion and we talk for about 4 minutes more until I told him I needed to go.

"Just please come find me okay?" I ask, tears brimming my eyes again.

"I promise." He says.

"I love you." I say.

"I love you too." He replies. I hang up and give cameron his phone back.

"Listen Cam, you need to leave before Matt finds you. He'll know something's up. Please go." I tell him as he puts his phone back in his pocket. He nods and leaves, hugging me one last time.

Matts p.o.v.

What's taking her so long? I think, walking out of the shoe dept. Shit. I walk quickly into Victoria's Secret and search for my girlfriend.

"Matt? What's wrong?" Someone asks from behind me.

"Oh nothing I just thought you ran away!" I saw, hugging her.

"Nope... I'm just ready to go pay..." She smiles holding a bunch of things.

"Okay..." I say, calming down a bit. We go up and pay and soon head home. I guess I was worried about nothing!
