I hope it isn't too bad for whoever reads this. I'm a beginner at this.
Farkle looked at both Maya and Riley with tears filling his eyes. Even though the girls were covered in dirt and ashes and scared out of their minds, they were still the most beautiful girls Farkle will ever meet.
The three friends haven't eaten in a long time, and were only given one cup of water to drink each day. Because of this, the chances of fighting their kidnappers and breaking free were considered a miracle. They were getting weaker and weaker.
They were captives in a little cabin that happened to be in the middle of nowhere, having no idea why this was done to them, and clinging onto the little strand of hope that someone would come rescue them. Their captors had locked them in a little room, with absolutely nothing inside. Not even a toilet or a stick to entertain themselves with. The room was filthy and filled with irritating insects that even Farkle couldn't identify. It was like those places you would usually find dead bodies in movies.
Once every day, someone would slide a small teacup with water inside through the gap between the floor and the door. One cup for the three of them to share.
Maya had tried yelling at the person on the other side to let them go, but there was never an answer. She tried kicking the door down, but it was made with metal, and that feat was only possible in fiction.
They spent each day trying to think of a way out, but it was hopeless. The three of them were on the edge of going insane. Farkle had even stopped trying to fix his smashed phone. The room was too dark anyway.
And to make matters worse, one of the unidentifiable bugs had bit both Maya and Riley on the arm. None of them knew if the bug carried any disease or was dangerous. Riley freaked out each day, and the girls kept looking at Farkle for an explanation.
They both turned to the "genius".
Farkle blamed himself for everything. It was his fault they were gonna rot in this bug filled room. It was his fault they weren't at home enjoying Mr Matthews' lessons in class. He was the one who suggested to hang out at the park. He was the one who led the two girls he loved his whole life into the hands of criminals
Lucas and Zay were at basketball tryouts, and Smackle was at a dentist appointment. So it was just the three of them, sitting on a bench, talking about different things, enjoying the sun. They were minding their own business, when Farkle saw a moth fly past them. The guy he was, he ran after it, with Riley and Maya following him. Farkle needed that moth for his collection.
However, the moth led him into an alleyway where not many dared to go, and the three stopped when they found themselves in front of a man, with a bag of money in his hands. He wore a mask that covered most of his face. So his facial features were hidden. The three had figured out that the man had stolen money, and they tried to run away, but as soon as they were seen, 2 other men appeared. The criminals grabbed the kids and forced them into their truck, and drove away.
If it weren't for Farkle's "stupid" moth collection, they would never have been taken. The girls had to stop Farkle from hitting himself. After spending at least a week in the filthy room together, wanting personal space wasn't even a thought anymore.
They didn't know why they were kept alive, and how the men were able to destroy their phones in a few seconds. If the men wanted them dead, they wouldn't have given them water.
The only reason they haven't died yet was because they had each other. They were friends ever since they were 7.
