Reed POV

"What the hell do you mean, Ella called?" I yell at Easton outside the club.

"I mean, Ella called, saying she needed us!" He yells back.

"Well hurry up! Dad's gonna kill us if she dies! We're supposed to be babysitting her!" I run to the SUV and get in. East's already ahead of me and goes to get in the drivers seat. "Oh no bud, I'm driving. It's my car and you're drunk." I say firmly and push him into the passenger side. He grumbles but doesn't put up a fight.

"So, where is she?" I ask, trying to figure out where I'll have to go.

"I think she's where we left her." He slurs. Ugh, he's about to pass out. I pull over and haul him into the bask seat where he can sleep. Then, I floor the gas so we can get there faster. It's late, and there won't be any cops around to give me a speeding ticket.


Ella POV

I open my eyes from where I am to the guy who kidnapped me yelling at his friend.

"What do you mean, you didn't grab her phone? I told you to get it!"

"Can you guys please keep it down, I'm trying to sleep!" I don't care if they've kidnapped me, I want to sleep, and I can get real bratty when I don't get my sleep. The first guy snarls at me, and I snarl back. "Fine." He relents. "But you're coming with me now." And with that, he pulls me out of the room and into another. From there, he pushes me onto the bed and grins evilly.

"Oh hell no," I squirm under his gaze. "No, no NO. I am not doing anything, and you are not doing anything to me. I've had it up to here," at this, I motion with my hand over my head, "With boys thinking they can do what they want with me. You're all the same!" I pause in my tirade to catch a breath. The guy looks at me guiltily.

"I'm sorry." He mutters. "I'm Corbin by the way."

"Well, thanks? I'm Ella, but you really should let me go."

"Wait, Ella? As in, Ella Royal?" Corbin's face drains of colour. "As in, Reed and Easton Royal's little sister?"

"Actually, I'm older than Easton, but yes, they are my brothers. why?" I glare suspiciously at Corbin. He gulps.

"W e l l, no reason, except they threatened to kill anyone who even looked at you wrong. And now I've gone and taken you from the side of the road."

"Well," I say snarkily. "Who's fault is that? Cause it's certainly not mine."

"What was I supposed to do? Leave you there for some random?"

"Reed and Easton were about to come back and get me! That's who I was on the phone with! Honestly, if you'd just left me there, then we wouldn't be here!"

He just sighs and exits the room. I groan, then look around the room that I'm in. It seems pretty empty, but I can't really see much, seeing as it's still dark. I check my phone and see that it's just after 1 AM. No wonder I'm really tired. I decide that it can't be a bad idea to take a quick nap, so I head over to a couch that I saw earlier and curl up on it.
