"Come here." Colton slurred. He must have been drinking. He reached out to grab me but I dodged him and quickly ran past him and up the stairs.

He yelled after me and I could tell he was angry now. I didn't look back though I just kept running. I ran through a room and headed straight for the front door. I opened the door and I was greeted by a shocked Ash holding shopping bags. He quickly threw the bags down and grabbed me by the arm. I didn't even bother to try and get free.

"What are you doing?" He asked astonished.

"He was drinking..." I mumbled. Ash's eyes went wide. He picked up the bags and led me to the living room.

"Sit down." He instructed and I walked over to sit on the couch. Just then Colton walked up the stairs with an evil grin. He started walking towards me but stopped when he saw Ash unpacking the food. Once he saw him he turned and walked down the hall into what I thought was his room.

"Can you cook," Ash asked and I just nodded. My mother used to work late every night and after work, she would pick up my sister from dance. Once they got home my father and I would already have dinner ready. "Great, I need you to cook dinner for tonight because I need to make a quick phone call."

I slowly stood up and walked over to the kitchen, I didn't want to cook for them but cooking always took my mind off of things. I looked at all the ingredients and decided on spaghetti since there weren't very many things to choose from.

"Oh and don't try anything stupid because there is an alarm on the door," Ash said before disappearing around the corner.

I opened the cupboard and noticed everything I needed was on the top shelf. I tried jumping up to reach a pot but it was no use. After a few minutes of trying, I heard laughing behind me.

I turned around to see Joseph, Jake, and Peter standing there laughing at my attempt to reach it and I sent them a glare. I hadn't of noticed them standing there, I wonder how long there were there for.

"You're so short," Jake said laughing, he walked past me and got the pot out for me.

Instead of giving it to me he hung it over my head out of my reach, I attempted to get it but only realized he was just doing this for amusement and I just rolled my eyes." What are we having?" He asked as he put the pot on the stove and turned it on.

"Spaghetti," I mumbled.

"I haven't had a home cooked meal in years," Peter stated and for a second I felt bad for them but then reality set in again and I remembered these were my kidnappers.

"It would be nice having a woman around here. maybe we should keep her." Joseph stated and they all laughed but I didn't think of it as a joke. I tuned them out and finished making dinner.

Colton and Ash both appeared as I finished setting the table. They all sat down and I awkwardly sat down in between Jake and Joseph. As soon as they sat down they all dug in. Colton still looked at me evilly and it sent a shiver down my spine.

"I heard you were drinking Colton," Ash said but Colton just ignored him. After a few minutes, everyone finished their food off. " I will do dishes," Ash said and they all walked over to the couch.

I awkwardly stood up and Jake grabbed my hand and brought me over to the couch. Joseph flicked the tv on and it was the news and my eyes went wide when I noticed what was on it. There was a picture of me on the side of the screen and my mom was talking on the news.

My mother looked upset and I could tell she had gotten no sleep. It switched to another interview and this time it was Alex. As soon as I saw him I broke down.

"Alex.." I said between sobs and without realizing I was practically in Jake's arms. I cried for a few minutes and when I finally stopped I realized they were now watching a basketball game. I finally came to my senses and saw that I was curled up in Jake's arms and I quickly moved away.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled.

"It's fine you have nothing to apologize for." Jake stated." I thought it was kind of cute." He said and I just rolled my eyes. "Oh come on it was just a joke."

"I guess you're right I do have nothing to apologize for because you're the ones that kidnapped me," I said stating the truth. He just ignored me and watched the basketball game that was on.

I tried to watch the game but my mind was elsewhere. My mind flashed back to when I was hiding from them in the store and my phone went off. It was the reason as to why I am here. if the phone had never gone off then they wouldn't have found me. The question that wouldn't leave my mind was who was calling?

I looked at the clock and realized it was getting pretty late, I tried not to fall asleep and stay up. Before I knew it I had drifted off into a deep sleep.
