Stella's POV

I tried looking around again, even though it was pointless. With my arms pinned I couldn't reach my flashlight in my back pocket, I couldn't reach for my gun holster either...even though I knew it was empty.

" I need to get out of here..." I thought as I tried to pull my arms or legs closer to my body to get an idea of how far I could move them.

My arms and legs had barely moved when I felt a sharp pain hit me, my ankles and wrists badly bruised from the tight straps. I shut my eyes tightly and felt a drop of sweat fall from my face onto the ground.

" Oh I hope Mac is alright..." I lay there not able to think of a way to escape when Mac started taking over my mind. I was sick with worry and wished I could see him to make sure he was in one piece.

" Mac Taylor..if you aren't careful and get to me alive I-..." I I stopped my sentence from the pain of thinking the worst for my best friends, I remember when we first met...

Flashback

I was 8 years old, sitting in my front yard looking through the bushes for a toy I had lost. I kept looking until a boy about 11 years old walked over to my yard and tapped my shoulder.

" What are you doing?" he asked looking at me with a raised eyebrow, I looked back at him; then back to the bushes. " I'm looking for my toy gun...it was here and now I can't find it." I said expecting the boy to walk away, but this boy did something I didn't expect. He got down on his hands and knees, starting to look through the bushes with me.

" Why are you helping me?" I asked curious, he looked at me and I looked back..it was the first time we had made eye-contact. " Cause I want too..." was his reply as he held out his hand.

" My names Mac, Mac taylor...what's yours?" He smiled to me as I started to reach out slowly. Gripping his hand as a smile spread across my face as well. " I'm Stella Bonasera...nice to meet you."

End Flashback

I smiled as I thought back, all those years ago and Mac has always been there for me.

" You never left my side, never let me get hurt...you used to beat up any boy who was mean to me through our teenage years. It didn;t matter if it was just a student or a boyfriend, you were always right there protecting me...thank you.." I said with a shudder as I heard a click from the wall beside me.

The timer started counting down. 1:00-0:59...

" It's begun..."

I KNOW THEY DIDN'T MEET WHEN THEY WERE THAT YOUNG BUT HEY...I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CUTE...XD

REVIEW OR NOT...THE CHOICE IS YOURS AND I'M SORRY THIS CHAPTER IS SHORT, I PROMISE THE NEXT ONE WILL BE LONGER!!
