Clare had been walking with her bag for miles, desperate to find a hotel. She wanted to call Eli and simply asked where a hotel would be in this vicinity but didn't even want to talk with him. She felt someone's presence behind her, turning around to just see swishing bushes; She ignored it and continued walking. She suddenly felt someone's hand pressed against her mouth and grabbed her hands behind her back and she was suddenly thrown in a van. Her mouth was taped shut and her hands roped behind her back and she felt tears forming at her eyes.

This wasn't her neighborhood. She knew nothing about British Columbia so why was she stupid to not let Eli drive her home? The tears fell down her face as the driver drove off and someone in the back with her.

"Do you know why I took you?"

She shook her head, tears falling down her face.

"I know you're the big celebrity's little girlfriend and he will pay big bucks to get you back."

She shook her head trying to indicate to him that they weren't even together.

"What?" He asked. He took the tape off her mouth, "We're not together-HEEEELP!" She yelled but was stopped again when the guy re-taped her mouth.

"Lie all you want." Suddenly Clare's phone was ringing and the guy dug in her pocket, taking it out. He saw Eli's name written on it and laughed, "Broke up? Sure." He threw the phone aside and left it there as Clare continued to pour her eyes out. The car soon came to a stop as Clare was dragged inside of the basement of a house. She was left down at their on the cold floor as the two men departed.

She tried to look around for scissors and couldn't find any. She found something sharp and tried to undo the bandage on her arms to no avail.

Eli had been calling Clare for about a half hour and she didn't answer. He knew they broke up but this was beginning to worry him. It was late at night and she intended on traveling back 3 hours. Eli opted on driving her considering that would be the safest way but she wouldn't answer her phone. Eli sighed and gave up.

Three days had passed and Eli hadn't got in contact with Clare, he continued to phone her and didn't even have her parents number to call. He decided putting up missing posters were the only option. He made them giving out a thousand dollar reward. He was truly terrified; breaking up with her didn't mean he wanted her to get hurt.

He printed out the fliers and hung them around his neighborhood. Within hours, he got a call that Clare was being held hostage and would only be released until a 100,00 reward. Eli was hesitant about the situation and didn't know if this was ultimately true, but it was worth it.

"Fine, come meet at the café in like an hour?"

"Deal."

Eli was gonna get Clare back but he wasn't gonna let the kidnappers get away scott free. He called the police, allowing them to know he was getting someone from hostage and the destination. Eli patiently waited for two hours and saw no one appear and saw the cops waiting frustrated, undercover. Eli soon saw someone walking in the door and sat down at his table.

"Can I help you?"

"Where's the money?" He questioned.

"Where's Clare?"

"In the van."

"Then get her out."

"No, there's witnesses."

"Then you don't get your money." Eli made a signal to the police and they put him in handcuffs, making their way to the van. They slid the door open and saw Clare tied up in the back. They helped her out and Eli ran over to her and took the tape off her mouth and untied her arms.

"I'm so sorry." He apologized.

"Are you okay?" One of the officers asked.

She nodded, "I'll be fine, hopefully." She glared at Eli. The officers handcuffed the driver and the man who confronted Eli and was taken to the station while their car was towed.

They wanted to examine Clare for any signs of rapes or beatings but she constantly informed them that she was fine and just wanted to go home.

"Baby, I'm sorry." He softly pulled her close to him.

She looked at him confused, "How'd you even know what happened?"

"I called you constantly and I got worried so I put up missing signs and those dickheads of a guy called so I made sure the police was here."

She nodded, "Thank you."

"This has made me realize I don't want to lose you Clare, I'm sorry."

"If me having to get kidnapped makes you realize you made a mistake, then I don't wanna be with you. The reason they kidnapped me because I was dating you, they thought they would get money, Eli. You're the only whole reason this happened to me so I guess the break up was for the best.

Eli's eyes formed together in a questioning look, "No Clare, its not my fault. They're idiots which is why they did it. I made a mistake."

"Can you just drive me home please?" She asked avoiding his gaze.

"Why should I dr-?"

"Please." She begged. "I'm scared enough as it is."

"Fine." He defeated. He walked down the block and got in Morty as Clare got in. It took them an awful while to get back but Clare was relieved when he pulled up in front of her house.

"I'll call you later?"

"Well I lost my phone so no thanks."

She got out of the car and walked inside her house, locking it. She phoned her parents and told them she had to talk to them and they were on their from the airport. Clare was beyond exhausted, anxious, panicky and uncomfortable as she fell down on her bed.

Within an hour, her front door opened and she ran downstairs and enveloped her parents in a hug. "I got kidnapped. " She said abruptly. Her parents were confused. She told them the whole story, the breakup and how she didn't even intend on talking to Eli again after the traumatic experience.

Her parents gave her all the comfort she needed until she figured she should go rest. She heard her laptop and grabbed it seeing a message on her facerange. She saw it was from Eli asking whats her house number. She ignored it and crawled under the blankets. She was stressed and he would just make it worst. She relaxed and took a nap, hoping that it was all just a dream

Ideas for next chapter? How do you want them to get back together? And I want to right the next chp of Breakeven now but I don't know what to do….help?
