A/N = Hey all of you! =)

I have sad news (well for you) , Im going on a holiday to Austria for 1 week tomorrow afternoon, so I won't be able to post new chapters in the next week. I'll have plenty of time to write new chapters though, so don't worry, as soon as I come back to the Netherlands, I will upload as soon as I can, which will probably be the 2nd of January in the afternoon, after my dance competition (yes I have a dance competition the day after I come home xD haha wonder how that'll go)

I'm not too happy with this chapter, I just haven't really been feeling well still because of that stupid anemia, so my writing isn't the best lately :( I hope you all like this chapter though!

Anyway, I wish you all a merry christmas, and a happy new year in advance, and I love you all for reading and reviewing!

Chapter 21

Dougie's POV

After a little while I woke up again, after passing out from the pain and panic, because I heard distinct voices. For a moment I just layed where I was, slumped against the cold brick wall, confused and dizzy. Then the voices stole my attention again, and I suddenly realised again what had happened before I passed out. I slowly felt the pain devour my body again and I scrunched my eyes shut, whimpering in pain. The voices that woke me up seemed to come my direction, and after a moment of biting my lip to block out the pain, I tried to focus on the voices, terrified it was Jared who came to hurt me again.

'Seriously, you shouldn't have gone so far.' The voices were now so close, I was sure that they were standing right behind the door to the room I was in. I gulped and tried to turn around so I could face the door, but the shackles were too short, so I could only turn my head, and not my whole body. I flinched when I heard Jared's voice.

'He just pissed me off, okay? I went too far, I shouldn't have done this, I know okay?'

'Dude, I know you got anger issues and all...' Now I recognized the other voice too, as the curly-haired guy.

'But you have to take it easy on him, alright? He's just a small guy, and I don't want you to mess him up too badly. We can't give him back to the other boys then. I really don't want to have the cops searching our asses if we release him and he is all messed up because of you abusing him like that. Seriously, you wanted to be in charge of all this, but I'm not sure if you're capable of that if you lose it like you did already the second day he's here!'

The curly-haired guy, Rick, seemed to be really pissed. I wondered if they even realised I could hear them. Maybe they thought I was still passed out? It's quite obvious that I could hear them when they were standing in front of the door.

'Jeez, Rick.' Jared groaned. 'I can do this. You just have to keep faith in me, and stay with me. Everything is going perfect, we scared those other three guys, so I doubt they will call the police, which is great. I'm sure they will come with the 3 million dollars as soon as they can, and until then, we'll just have to keep Dougie here. It'll all be fine, you just have to keep faith in me, dude, cause I can't do this with only them other two morrons. They are too dumb.'

He said annoyed to Rick and I heard Rick sigh.

'Dude, I trust you, okay? I just don't want you to do something too bad to Dougie when there's no need for it.'

'There was a need for it, though, Rick. He disobeyed us.' Jared growled darkly, and Rick sighed again. All the time I was listening to them intensely, and I noticed I had started to shake a bit. I was so afraid of them, after what Jared had done to me. My back hurt so badly, I believe the wounds didn't really bleed as bad anymore as they did before I passed out, but they still hurt so bad that it made my body tremble in pain and my head began to feel heavy again.

'Whatever Jared, let's just get inside now. Last time I checked he was still out of it, but Im not sure if he still is.' I gasped in fear and wanted to panic, wanted to freak out, but the pain that seered through my body with every little tiny move I made prevented me from doing so. I felt so weak, even breathing hurt. I could only look at them with big fearful eyes when the door opened, and Jared stepped inside the room, followed by Rick.

'Great, he's awake.' Rick groaned out, but Jared smiled at me, and came closer. He carried a box in his hands, a first aid kit. Rick quickly followed him, and sat down next to me, while I crawled away from him as much as the chain would let me, which was about 3 centimeters.

'How are you, Dougie?' Rick asked me, and looked me in the eyes sternly, waiting for an answer. I didn't answer though, I just avoided his gaze and whimpered in fear and pain.

'You were out of it for quite a while. I'm going to take care of those wounds on your back now. Just relax. I'm not gonna hurt you now.'

I was so afraid, I pulled away from him as far as the chains would let me, and I pulled so hard I could feel the wounds on my wrist starting to slightly bleed again.

'Jeez, Rick, don't be so soft on him all of a sudden.' Jared growled annoyed. Rick snapped his head back at Jared.

'He's in pain, Jared. You've hurt him enough already. I only want the money, without too much trouble. I don't want him to be mentally scarred forever after this. Just get out if this annoyes you.'

Jared snorted.

'I think I might do that, and go to see what these other two idiots are up to. You go ahead and fuss over the boy. He deserved it though. You heard that, Dougie? You deserved it.'

With that he turned around and walked out the door again, slamming it shut behind him. I flinched at the harsh sound, while tears started to form in my eyes.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year and I'll probably post more on the 2th of January or the 3rd! Love you all!
