Almost 200 reviews! Like, wow GUYS! You all cease to amaze me! Anyway, I noticed the DEMAND for chapter 14 and I was like, "Let's do this thing!" So, here's chapter 14! Hope you LOVE it! This chapter will also be all Riley, and the next chapter will be all about Lucas and how he, Maya, and the Matthews are going to try to find Riley.
Riley laid in the bed for what seemed like forever. Charlie wasn't bothering her, so she decided that she would try to get comfortable in the bed. She tossed and turned, but she could never get comfortable. Charlie looked over at her. All of the sudden, the door opened and revealed Brandon.
"Alright, Charlie, you can go. I've got to talk to Riley...alone," Brandon said as the last part sent shivers down Riley's spine.
"Okay," Charlie replied as he left, giving Riley a small, sad smile as he did so.
"So, Riley, do you want to know why I brought you here?" Brandon asked as he walked over towards the bed. Riley scooted further away as Brandon got closer.
"Yes, I actually do," Riley answered shakily. Brandon sat on the edge of the bed, while Riley was at the headboard on the side farther away from him.
"Well, it's a matter of simplicity, Cupcake," Brandon started. Riley stopped him before he could go any further.
"You can't call me anything but Riley and only Riley," she said matter-of-factly. Brandon chuckled darkly.
"I can call you whatever I want because you're being taken care of by me," he said as he scooted closer to Riley. She couldn't back away from him, so she was stuck.
"No, you can't, and can you please back up? I don't like it when people invade my space," Riley acknowledged. Brandon denied her requests as he recuffed her hands to the bed posts. She didn't want to fight because she didn't want him to hurt her.
"Just shut up and let me tell you why I brought you here," Brandon said as he voice got a little louder. "First off, I wanted to show you that I am the guy for you, Riley, and not Lucas. Second, he needs to not get everything he wants in life, and he wants you. Third, I liked you before you even knew him. Lastly, I don't want you to ignore me." Riley rolled her eyes.
"Brandon, like I told Charlie. I love Lucas. I always have, and I always will," Riley stated. Brandon got angry fast and acted out as he hit her. Riley cried out in pain.
"Don't smart off to me! I'll hurt you," Brandon yelled. Riley's cheek was on fire, and she was pretty sure she either had a broken jaw, or she was going to have one heck of a bruise.
"Pl-please, d-don't hurt me," Riley whimpered as she started crying.
"I won't hurt you, because I love you. Do you love me?" Brandon asked sympathetically. Riley lashed out at him.
"No, like I said before: I love Lucas, and no one else," Riley said. Brandon hit her again. Riley was crying out loud by this time.
"SAY YOU LOVE ME!" Brandon yelled at her. Riley still would not back down. She spoke before she could register what she was saying.
"DON'T YOU GET IT!? I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BOYFRIEND, LUCAS TRISTAN FRIAR! I'M NOT, NOR WILL I EVER BE..IN LOVE...WITH YOU!" Riley screamed with everything she had. Now, her throat and cheek were hurting, but Brandon didn't seem to care. He grabbed her throat and almost choked her to death.
"DON'T EVER...TALK TO ME THAT WAY AGAIN! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?" Brandon yelled. Riley muttered out a choked 'Yes' as Brandon finally let her go. She coughed after he released her neck.
"Can you please take these cuffs off?" Riley asked quietly. Brandon looked at her for a moment before nodding.
"Let me get the key out of my pocket," he said as he patted his pockets down. Finally, he pulled out a key and uncuffed Riley. She got up off the bed with so much speed, it would make a football player's head spin. Brandon chased her, but Riley made it out the door before he did. She slammed the door and ran down a long hallway.
"ZAY! CHARLIE! HELP ME!" Riley screamed as she ran down the halls. Finally, she saw Zay coming around the corner. Zay ran up to her and checked her cheek.
"Oh my god, Riley! He hit you!?" Zay asked furiously. Riley nodded as she started crying.
"Y-yes. Twice. And then, h-he choked me," Riley whimpered hoarsely. Zay carried her bridal style to another room that Brandon didn't know about.
"Riley, Brandon doesn't know about this room, so I'm going to let you stay here and call Lucas at exactly 1:00a.m. Got it?" Zay asked Riley as she nodded. He quickly and silently left the room as Riley laid down on the queen sized bed that was actually comfortable. She prayed that Lucas would find her soon and that Brandon wouldn't find her.
Was that enough for being held hostage? Will Brandon find Riley? Will Lucas find Riley before Brandon gets to her? What happened to Charlie, Dave, and Zay? Find out in the next three chapters. Also, leave a review when you read this!
