A/N: Two more chapters after this one. Sorry if its rushed now, but I'll explain on the last chapter note.
Enjoy.

I was trapped.

I was stuck in this stupid room. I was put to sleep again after Chase's annoying monologue by one of the meatheads and I woke up without the ropes on. I thought they were the fucking idiots after that, but I couldn't see jack shit and the only time I did was when they pushed food under the table like I was a fucking animal.

I didn't touch that shit, not even with a ten-foot pole.

Despite this shitty situation, I had to stay calm. If I allowed myself to stress out any more, I'd trigger myself and I'd be sent into another flashback. I passed out at one point and woke up again, not even sure where I was anymore.

At least a day has passed… I can't waste any time…

I spent all day feeling around the room, trying to figure out where was what. It wasn't the dark room anymore, that was for sure. I felt chairs and tables, but that was pretty much it. Like a classroom.

The light from the outside came in as one of those goons slid food into the room. I just happened to be looking up at the ceiling when it opened, and I saw a vent.

Bingo.

I checked my pockets to see if they were smart enough to check them. They weren't. They left the little amount of change I had that were stuck inside. It was finally working out!

I was careful with taking a chair and placing it under the vent and stood on it, reaching up to unscrew it.

Thank god I'm tall. Any shorter than this, I would've been fucked!

I finished and pushed the vent cover in, opening with dust falling on my face, making me have a coughing fit. I used all of my arm strength (this shit fucking hurts) and lifted myself into the vent and placed the cover back.

Though it didn't fucking matter anyway. I obviously escaped.

I climbed through the vent, using the lights from the rooms and hallways to see my way through. Aimlessly, passing darker vent areas and cursing under my breath when I ended up in dead ends.

I ended up finding a vent that revealed what looked like leaves on a tree, so I hurried over to it.

As I went over to it, I passed a vent under me and a guy yelled, "Where the fuck did she go?!"

Oh shit—

I crawled faster as I heard frantic sprinting coming from the hallways, everyone yelling and banging against the walls. I tried to block out the noises, knowing damn well they were doing that to trigger my PTSD. My muscles tensed and froze a few times, but I kept going, using all of my energy to reach the vent, using my change again to unscrew the vent and kick it open. I didn't give a shit that it made such a loud fucking noise when it fell to the ground.

It wasn't as far of a drop then I thought, sliding out and landing on my side.

"Fuck!" I yelled. I felt so weak as I got up, my vision blurring black and seeing the bright lights wanting to take over. I had fell out the side of the building and Blackwell wasn't far. It was dark as fuck, but I could see it in the distance.

I kept looking over my shoulder, trying to go as quick as I could so those Vortex jocks wouldn't find me. My throat hurt from breathing only through it as I ran, holding my side as I got to the dorms, bursting through the doors and into my room, shutting the door behind me to catch my breath.

I fell to the floor, eyes burning, wanting to cry from all that bullshit that just happened.

Me:
Are you with her right now?

Sera:
Yes.
Where have you been?

I tossed my phone aside and curled up, wanting my pain to subside and fight my flashbacks.

RACHEL CAN FUCK OFF

Bright, colorful lights blinked in my vision, muffled voices covering my ears as I tried to hold onto reality.

"Chloe!" A voice penetrated through, grabbing me into a hug and holding my head to their chest. "Listen to my voice. We're here. You're having a flashback."

Kate.

I steadied my breathing, pressing closer to her to anchor myself. She kept telling me to listen to her and I did. My vision cleared and I saw Kate, Max and Steph, surrounding me with worried looks. Kate held me closer, sighing in relief that I was able to come to.

"What happened, Chloe…?" Max asked. "You disappeared for a whole day…"

I tried to stay calm as I recall everything for them. It was fucking difficult, I slurred my words a few times, but they were taking in every word.

Kate was so comfortable, no wonder Max liked doing this at night.

"I need to see Amber… She's with her mom right now, but we have to keep her safe… I have her mom's number; I need to call."

"You need to rest, Chloe!" Steph placed her hand on my shoulder as I tried to stand up. "You've been through hell! If Rachel's mom said she took her somewhere safe, then she's safe!" Her face then fell into a look of doubt. "That's… That's right, right?"

"Please, just call Sera…"

Max picked up my phone and pressed on the screen a few times, looking for Sera's number. She put it on speaker and we waited in intense tension as the droning dialing ring filled the room.

"Hello…"

My eyes shot open from the voice. That wasn't Sera.

"Victoria…?" My phone shook in Max's hand, her voice trembling.

"That's my name. Don't wear it out."

"Where's Rachel?!"

"Like I texted you, she's here at home with me. Rachel, would you like to say a few words to your friends?"

It was just muffled, like Amber was trying to scream for help.

"Once I get my hands on you, Chase, I'm ripping your fucking head off!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, trying to get out of Kate's arms but she wouldn't let go.

"Accept it, Chloe," she said with such an annoying voice. "You lost! No more Rachel for you…"

"Chase!" I yelled out, scratching through my throat.

She fucking hung up.
"We have to find her!" I forced myself out of Kate's arms, almost out the door when Steph stopped me, grabbing me and blocking the door.

"You can't leave this room in this condition! What if something happens and you have a flashback?! And nobody can help you?!"

"Well, I'm not going to just sit my ass here! If I have to go without any of you, I'll fucking go!"

The room fell silent.

Are they fucking serious…?

"What-fucking-ever…" I took my phone from Max's hand and shoved Steph to the side, getting her out of my way.

Amber's been through enough shit! If no one else wants to help, I'll take on Chase… even if it kills me.
