A/N- hi.
Happy Valentine's Day. Who else is forever alone?
if you were a Lego house, I wouldn't knock you down. I'd knock you up.
Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I had really bad writers block all day until like 9 PM when I had a plan for each chapter for the rest of this story.
I'm sorry to say that there will only be four chapters left, including this one.
I will write one chapter a day until it's over, so the last chapter will be uploaded on Tuesday.
Read the end authors note for my plan on my next fanfiction.
Disclaimer- I own nothing.
Christina's POV:
Ed and I decided to take a break today. In just a week, we have three recorded and complete songs for my album.
As exciting and fun as it may be, it is also a lot of tiring work.
Ed and I are just lounging around at his flat, eating ice cream and popcorn, while talking and listening to the music Ed has playing in the background.
"I'm going to call Taylor." Ed suggests after a while. "I haven't spoken to her in a while."
I nod and get up. "I'm going to get some more popcorn."
I head off into the kitchen to put a bag of popcorn in the microwave when I hear Ed shout my name.
Will's POV:
Another week of beatings, a scarce amount of food, and no contact with the outside world later, Taylor, Al, and I get lucky enough that Peter gets drunk and then leaves the house.
Over the time we've been here, I've observed that Peter is a very stupid drunk who tends to enjoy leaving doors and cells unlocked.
He is now probably going to get even more drunk than he was before.
After I hear the front door slam shut, I send a reassuring look at Taylor, and we push open our unlocked cells. Al is too scared that Peter will come back to try and help us find an escape.
The door to the room we are kept in is also unlocked.
"I'm going to go check the front door. You look for food." I command.
Taylor instantly agrees, and rushes down the stairs to the kitchen, with me following close behind.
I go over to the front door, I sign in disappointment when I discover that the door is locked from the outside. The windows are also boarded up and no matter how hard we try, we can't break through them.
I go over to Taylor in the kitchen.
"Locked on the outside. Sorry." I announce.
Taylor turns around and looks up at me from whatever she was holding. "That's okay. I think I found our way out."
I raise my eyebrows. "Yeah? What's that?"
"My phone." Taylor brings it over to me. I take it and press the power button to turn it on.
"The phoning setting is probably disabled like what that asshole did to my phone." I say as the phone seems to take even longer than a phone normally would, even though it's going at a usual pace.
"Can't hurt to try." Taylor shrugs. It amazes me how she can still be optimistic about things, even with the hell that we are living through right now.
Taylor takes her phone back and unlocks it quickly as soon as it turns on.
I'm pretty sure we both hold our breath, praying that we can call someone.
Before Taylor can hit anything, though, Ed's face pops up on the screen.
Incoming call.
Taylor's eyes widen as she presses answer and speaker buttons so I can hear as well.
"Ed!" She exclaims as soon as the call connects.
"Hey, babe how ha-" Taylor cuts him off.
"Help us." Taylor says frantically. "Call the cops or something. A man. His name is Peter. He kidnapped me and Will, Christina's boyfriend and Will's friend. I don't know when he's going to be back. Help. Please."
"Wait, what?" Ed asks in shock. "Are you okay, Taylor?"
"No." She replies. I can see her beginning to hold back tears.
"Hold on," Ed mutters. "Christina!" He yells.
A muffled muttering is heard from the other end of the phone.
"Christina is calling the police. Do you know where you are?" Ed asks.
"No. Somewhere in New York, I think." Taylor replies.
That's just when we hear a car engine pull up into the driveway.
"Shit." I mutter. "Taylor, hurry."
"He's back. I have to go Ed. I love you. Please hurry." Taylor hangs up and still holding onto her phone, we sprint up the stairs as quietly and quickly as we can and get back into our cells, closing all the doors as they were when Peter left and pretending to just have been lying on our uncomfortable cots the entire time.
The door opens and Peter sticks his head in the room, checking to make sure we are all still there, before shutting the door again and his footsteps disappear down the halls.
I let out the deep breath that I was holding in relief. I glance over and Taylor has pulled out her phone.
"What happened?" Al asks quietly.
"We found a working phone. Ed is getting us help." I replied.
Al nods with hope gleaming in his eyes.
Then we hear sirens. Police sirens.
Moments later, there is banging on the front door. "Police!" They yell. "Open up! You have 15 seconds!"
Ed and my Christina managed to send the cops to the correct house. I am so happy. I don't even know where we are. How can they help track us?
There are no audible footsteps in the hall, leading me to believe that Peter is ignoring them, or hiding from them.
A loud bang lets me know that the door is broken down and heavy footsteps come rushing upstairs.
One of the cops opens the door where Taylor, Al, and I are trapped in. He immediately comes to help.
He freed us and keeps us in the room until we see two other officers dragging a handcuffed Peter down the hall.
"Are you three okay?" The cop asks.
"I'm not sure." Taylor replies, speaking for all of us.
"How did you know where to find us?" I speak up.
The officer, Sheriff Graham, according to his name tag, turns to me. "Your friend called and said you three were in New York, stuck with a man named Peter. We've had to deal with Peter before. We knew where to find you."
"Thank you."
Graham nods. "Let's get you to the airport. Your friend said that he booked you three plane tickets to London under the name 'Sheeran'. He probably wants to get you away from here."
The three of us follow Graham outside and he takes us into his police car and drives us off to the airport so we can head to London.
A/N- I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
In the meantime, I am already starting to plan my next story. I won't start uploading it for a while, but I want to know if you think this is a good plot for my next story.
Tris' initiation group is reversed with Tobias'. Tris will be their instructor and Tobias will be one of the initiates. Caleb will also come to Dauntless. There will be a war after initiation, but it will be different than in the books.
That's pretty much just a summery of my thoughts.
What do you think? I don't want to start anything without knowing if you guys think it's a decent idea or not.
That's it for now. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please let me know what you think of the chapter and new story idea.
Thanks. I love you all so much. Bye.
