I own nothing.

I Don't Want To, But I Have To Chapter 21

I stood up and said "THANK YOU!" I smiled at the crowd who took their time to watch some stranger play some songs. I got off the bench and picked up my beanie. It was heavy and perfect. I shoved in my zipper pocket and secured it in place.

As I started walking towards the exit, I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw a figure. I didn't get enough time to scream for help or see who they were.

Because everything went black.

Few hours Later...

Austin's POV

I opened my eyes to find I'm in a dark room. I tried to scream but my mouth was covered with a lot of cloths, gagging me. I then tried to moved but my arms and legs were tied to a chair. What's going on?!

Then I heard a voice and footsteps. "Well. Well. Well isn't Austin Moon. Who knew capturing you would be soooo easy." A deep yet high voice chuckled evilly. My eyes widen. I recognize that voice from anywhere.

I scooted towards the shadow. The first thing I saw was a shoe. A bright red shoe.

Then I saw some red orange pants.

No... It can't be! IT CAN'T BE!

Hours earlier

Ally's POV

"I kidnapped him." They said.

"You what?!" I screamed.

"I said I kidnapped him. Didn't you tell me to do so?" They asked confused.

"I said I was kidding! I said distract him so nothing bad happens! Or else we're both dead!" I sighed.

"Oh... Oops." I face palmed. Out of all people, why did I choose them?

"What did you do to him so far?" I asked.

"Tied him up." My eyes nearly popped out of my head.

"Why?!" I screamed.

"Because I didn't want him to run away. Duh." They said dully.

"I knew I shouldn't have called you to do this..." I sighed.

"C'mon Ally! Just give me a chance!" They pleaded.

"After you kidnap and tied up my boyfriend?!" I asked furious.

"Maybe..." They whispered in a robotic voice.

"Can you turn off that stupid robot voice it's giving me a headache." I sighed.

"Fine." Then I heard some buttons being pushed.

"Thank you. Now can you untie him and let him go?" I asked.

"But..." They started but I cut them off.

"No buts! If you want to catch up with him then you can once he's safe and sound!" I ordered.

"Please?" They pleaded.

"No. And it's off. I'm done with your game. I rather lose my money than have Austin killed." I stated.

"So that's a no on getting to hang with Austin?" They asked sheepishly.

"Yes!" Then I hung up the phone. Then I threw my phone at the door letting it crash on it and fall on the floor. Then I quickly realized what I have done and ran towards the phone. The screen had shattered but it still worked. I sighed. First I need to get Austin home. And then I'll worry about my broken phone.

Just as I was about to leave, I realized I never asked for the address. And I just broke my phone... And I don't remember the number... Seems like the world doesn't want me on it's side today...

Austin's POV

"Dez?!" I screamed through the gags.

That's right. The guy who kidnapped me was no other than my ex-best friend, Dez Wade.

"Hello Austin. Long time no see." He smiled evilly.

I moved the gags from the my mouth and spoke up, "Why did you kidnap me?!"

"I missed my best friend. It's been well over a year."

"This is not the way to greet an old friend." I deadpanned.

He thought for a second and then realization struck his face. "Oh... I'm sorry Austin. I was... Really lonely without you..." He apologized.

I opened my mouth to speak, but he cut me off.

"What I mean by lonely was... I had no one. You maybe thinking what about Carrie? Well. Carrie... I'm sorry but I can't... It just hurts every time..." He ended in a whisper. "That's why I took you from Ally. You hurt me and I thought if I got you back, you would feel the same. But I realize that Revenge won't make me any better than anyone else." Dez said as his voice fell to a whisper.

My face soften from the tight glare I was giving him and said, "Dez... I-I don't know what to say..."

"It's fine. I better untie you and you should on your way." And before I could speak, he started untying all the knots on the chair and took the gags from my neck.

Once he pulled off the last gag, he stepped back dropping the cloth on the ground. And said, "You're free. You can go back to Ally and just... Leave me be." He whispered to the ground.

"Dez I-" I began but he spoke up.

"No. Just go back to Ally. She's worried sick about you. I'll be fine Austin. I promise." He shot me a sad smile.

"Are you sure?" I whisper.

"Positive." He said.

"Well... See you around." I said.

"Bye Austin." And then he lead me to the door and opened it for me.

I looked at him and then the empty space in front of me. I turn from the door and towards Dez. I threw my arms around his shoulders and hugged him.

"Please don't make me leave Dez... Please." I whispered into his shoulders.

"I don't want to. But I have to. Someone's waiting for you. Please Austin. You're making this harder than it needs to be." He said letting go of me.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

He didn't say anything. All he did was place his hand on my back and gently pushed me put the door. And before I could say anything, he shut the door and a second later, I heard a click. Signaling the door was now locked.

I sighed. Maybe Dez was right. I have someone at home and he has no one. I can't let them down while he doesn't have anyone to let down. I turn around and saw that I was outside. I took note of my surroundings and realized I was in a suburbs of New York. And Ally lives in the city. So that's a good 20-25 miles from here.

I sigh for what could be the 100th time today and started walking. Maybe I'll hit a station and catch a ride home.

But for now, I'll just keep walking.

Hours Later

Ally's POV

I blew my nose for what could be the 50th time. I basically screwed up today. First, I forget to ask Dez for the address. Second, I break my phone and lastly, Austin may never come home. And it's all my fault. No matter how many times I glance at the door, there won't be a knock. It's been a few hours and there was still nothing.

I guess Dez really did kill Austin. If Austin's dead, that means I'm alone. I don't have my Austin anymore. What's the point anymore? He's probably up there and I'm still on solid ground.

And then a knock snapped me out of my thoughts. I quickly wiped the tears away and went to the door. The first thing that hits me is the cold New York air. Then I look up at the door.

Austin.

A/N: Wait. Dez was the kidnapper this whole time?! Omg! Plot twist! Haha. I literally sitting there for a while decided who would do it, Trish or Dez. Now don't worry! Trish will come in a bit and Dez will forgiven for doing that sick act. Oh! Big (ish) news! Remember my first story I posted on here? Yeah. It's on Wattpad! And it's wayyyyy better than the on here!
