Josh's POV:
The car journey was silent. the only thing you could hear was Bryce's sniffles. I was about to pull into the drive way when all I heard were these blood curdling screams, i slammed to the breaks and turned around to see Erin shaking, crying and obviously screaming "Bryce what happened?" I asked, he looked up at me
"i-i-i don't know" he said
"i felt her start to move so I looked down and then she started doing this" he explained trying to calm Erin down, her eyes open and she stopped screaming but she was still shaking and crying, she quickly sat up causing her to cry even more, she then turned around and saw us looking at her, she turned around so her back was in the corner where the door and the seat meet, she looked at us with big puffy, red eyes
"please" she whispered, i was confused
"please don't hurt me" she said slightly louder but not much, fuck, bryce then got out of the car, slamming the door causing Erin to jump, I then watched Bryce run into the house. she thinks we are going to hurt her, does she not know who we are?
"Erin, we aren't going to hurt you, we are your best friends" after I had said that something must have clicked and her eyes softened and she looked between Blake and I and let out a whimper and looked down she then looked back up and smiled, Blake and I looked at each other then looked at her and smiled
"right let's get you home" i said starting the car and pulling into the driveway.

Ellie's POV:
Jaden and I were driving back from the store, it was silent except from the low sound of the radio, but it wasn't an awkward silence
"do you think they have found her" he asked
"yeah" i said nodding my head confidently
"but how do you know?" he asked, i thought for a second
"i just do" i said
"is it your telekinesis-telepathy thing?" he asked, i let out a chuckle
"yeah, yeah I guess so" i said whilst chuckling causing him to smile for the first time in hours.
We pulled up to the house and saw some of the cars already back home, Jaden's breath hitched, he started to bounce his leg so I placed my hand on his shoulder
"hey it will be fine" i said
"i know" he replied before we both got out of the car and walked into the house.
When we walked in we saw everyone turn around and look at us, i scanned the group and saw everyone but Bryce, Josh, Blake and Erin, I swallowed a huge lump that formed in my throat
"they have her" Griffin said
"where is she?" Jaden asked quickly
"ummm well"
"spit it out Griffin" Jaden said
"Bryce didn't want the girls to see her" he said
"why?" I asked regretting it as soon as i asked
"Josh said that it was so horrible, upsetting and traumatic just to see her like that for Bryce, Blake and himself that Bryce didn't want the girls to see her like that" he explained just as he did we all heard the door open then slam and i felt someone push me, i fell backwards, i heard a door slam and saw Payton stand up and rushed towards me whilst Jaden got up and walked up to Bryce's room
"you okay?" he asked sounding worried
"yeah pay, i just fell" i said
"no bryce pushed you" he said
"wait bryce! does that mean Erin's back?" I asked standing up.

Jaden's POV:
I stood up and followed Bryce, I knocked on the door
"Bryce?" no answer
"i am coming in" i said before opening the door, i walked in and saw Bryce sat on the edge of his bed, head in his hands, sobbing
"Bryce?" I said
"i can't"
"can't what Bryce?" I asked walked towards him and sitting next to him
"When I walked into that basement i saw her" he sobbed
"she was just laying there. she looked lifeless" he continued sobbing but now i had joined him
"i ran over and saw cuts, bruises, marks, h-hickeys, blood it was horrific" he said i felt sick
"when we got in the car I had her head on my lap and as well pulled up to the drive she-" he said before whimpering
"she um she thought i was going to hurt her" he said turning to me, pain in his eyes, I wrapped my arms around him
"she's like my sister" he sobbed
"I know" i whispered
"shit I'm sorry J i wasn't thinking about how you must be feeling. are you okay?" he asked
"i don't know. i haven't seen her. i need to but don't want to see her. i mean in pain. but i don't know how i feel. numb i guess" i said
"knock knock" Josh said knocking on the door
"umm Erin's downstairs and Griff has cleaned her up the best he can" he said before walking away
"go down together?" Bryce asked, i nodded, we both stood up and started walking out of the room
"wait bryce" I said stopping, he turned and looked at me
"i don't know if i can" i said shaking my head
"together" he said and placing his arm over my shoulders and we started walking, we got to the bottom of the stairs and we are about to turn the corner, i took at deep breath and turned the corner...

I let out a whimper and looked down, i looked back up and looked at her, we locked eyes just like the first time, she was wrapped up in a blanket, her hair was slightly messy and she had a few marks and cuts on her face but she was still gorgeous, i ran over to her and embraced her in a light hug making sure not to hurt her, i started crying
"hey baby" i cried looking into her eyes
"i have missed you so fucking much" I sobbed into her shoulder
"can i kiss you?" I asked not wanting to upset or startle her, she nodded whilst also crying, i leaned in and kissed her, it was the thing i have been missing, she was my other half, after the best thing that had happened in days we had pulled away and back into a hug
"i'm sorry" she whispered into my chest, I lifted my head up from her shoulder and gave her a confused look
"baby, why are you sorry?" i asked
"i-i didn't mean to. i didn't want to. they made me. i'm sorry." she sobbed into my chest, i cried some more and stroked her hair
"i'm sorry i cheated on you. i didn't want to" she sobbed hard.
