Taken// Why Don't We

Calm Down.

Val's pov
Maybe I was a little harsh on him. Wait, no I wasn't. They're the harsh ones; the evil ones. Zach ran into the backyard. We walk up to the door to see Zach yelling.
"I don't wanna do this anymore guys!" He shouts.
Well he shouldn't wanna do this anymore. None of them should...
"They hate us. Ugh we're such idiots." He says cupping his face with his hands.
"And we cant even tell them what this is all about. Honestly guys! We really screwed up on this one." He shouts getting angrier and angrier.
All the boys were outside trying to calm him down. He started huffing and puffing. He closed his eyes.
Jack looks towards the door to see us all in shock just watching Zach's little tantrum.
"Go upstairs." Commands Jack.
We just stand there still... confused at all this.
Zach started... growling? I've heard people growl when they're upset before but not this type.
"I said go now!" Jack said shouting at us.
We all ran upstairs frightened to what was gonna happen next.
We ran into Jenna's room.
"What was that?!" Panicked Alexis.
"Was he growling?" Asked Taylor.
We all were frantically asking questions.
"Guys just stop!" Shouted Jenna.
"We all just need to calm down." She says calmer.
"But what was that?" Asked Nicole in fear.
"I'm sure there's a possibly good explanation to this." She reasoned.
"How is there an explanation to that? I've never seen anyone get that angry before." Said Taylor.
I just stood there. Still in shock. I felt like I needed to be there for him. I don't know why. I hate all of them; him the most. Or do I? This is all just really confusing.
I can still hear Zach yelling. The more I hear the sadder I get.
"Val are you ok?" Asks Alexis.
"Ya. It's just I feel bad." I said in shame.
"Why do you feel bad after what they did to us?" Asked Taylor.
"That's the thing. I hate him... but I feel like I need to be there for him. It's so weird." I answered.
"Maybe that's just your conscience speaking." Says Nicole.
"Ya, it could be." I said unconvinced.
It wasn't just my conscience feeling this way. It was my heart.

Jonah's pov
We still haven't been able to calm Zach down.
Jack noticed the girls at the window and immediately told them to go upstairs. I'm really happy they listened. They left just in time because Zach's anger is transforming him. He's in full form now.
He growls at us.
"Zach just calm down we'll talk them soon I promise." Jack says.
He doesn't listen he's still upset.
"Look Zach. This is hard for all of us believe me. It breaks all of our hearts to see them hate us like this. But just think of it this way. They already hate us. When we tell them, who knows what they'll do. We gotta wait ok man." I say.
His eyes soften a little bit.
"Turn back Zach come on. Do it for Val." I say.
He immediately turns back.
"Guys he's still not calm. He's back to normal but his eyes are still yellow." Corbyn says nervously.
"What should we do?" Asks Daniel.
"I have an idea." I say walking back into the house.

Val's pov
We hear a knock at the door.
"Go away." Says Jenna.
"Please. We really need Val at the moment." The person says.
They all look at me.
"Just let him in." I say.
I walk up and open the door to see Jonah.
"What do you want?" I Ask feeling like I know the answer.
"Zach is a little upset right now. We need you to calm him down." He says looking at the floor.
"Why me? And how am I supposed to make him calm? And also why would I even want to do this... you kidnapped us remember." I sassily say.
Come on Val just put that aside and help him.
Shut up Val your mad at them.
You know that's not true.
Ughhh...
"Please this really means a lot." Please Jonah.
I look back at the girls.
"Fine." I mumble.
"Be right back I guess." I say to the girls.
They give me looks of sympathy.
"Hey Jonah." Says Jenna.
"Yes." He says smiling once he turns around to see her.
"If she gets hurt... your dead. Got it?" She says through gritted teeth.
"Believe me, Zach would never hurt her." He answers.
We go downstairs to the backyard.
I nervously look at Jonah. He gives me a reassuring smile. I see Zach siting on a rock.
"Go talk to him." Says Daniel.
I nod and go sit beside him.
His eyes are closed. What should I do?
Instead of thinking, I just pull him into a hug. What am I doing... I didn't even mean to my body just did it. I decided to stay there holding him. I instantly felt him relax. He opened his eyes.
"Look. I don't know what's happening or what you guys want. But... by the looks of it, it seems like you really care about us." I say stroking the back of him head.
This just feels right.
"Listen, were all still pretty upset about this kidnapping thing. I'm still probably gonna act resistant towards you guys. But, just know that I really am sorry for the fight we just had." I say.
He smiles.
"Believe me we will tell you guys soon." He says.
"When?" I ask a little too quickly.
"Just believe me. It's a good reason." He answers.
I somehow believe him.
"I don't believe there is any good reason for kidnapping." I say.
"I know. We are actually really sorry for this." He says looking up at me.
I still believe him.
"I know you guys are." I say back.
"I still don't like it at all. But I believe you." I say a little quieter.
I do something I never thought I'd do. Well, I'd never though I'd do any of this honesty. But especially this. I kiss his forehead. He blushed so red. Wait what? Why is he blushing. His cheeks are always red they've probably always been like that. He stares at me straight in the eyes. He look like he's restraining himself from doing something. It's kinda making me uncomfortable but I don't look away.
"I'm gonna go back to the girls now before they get worried." I say after breaking our stare.
He just nods smiling.
I walk away. Should I thank him for the whole fainting incident. Oh what the heck why not.
"Oh, and thanks for caring so much when I passed out. The girls told me. I appreciate it." I say turning around and smiling.
"Oh, no problem. I was just a little... concerned." He says.
"Oh and just saying. We're still mad." I say kinda smiling.
He laughs a little.
"I know you guys are. But you'll understand."
"Not unless we leave." I saw smirking.
I'm have joking but I'm also half dead serious.
"Believe me you could never pull it off." He says now smirking.
"Oh, try me." I say back.
Oh he's looking into my eyes again. Look away Val look away.
I walk back into the house brushing or more like hitter my shoulder against one of the boys. I may have just been nice to Zach but I'm still pissed off about the whole  kidnaping thing. What you'd really thinking I'd just forget about it? Heck nah. In fact, I think I found a way to break out of here. I just gotta tell the girls. And quick.
