"Are you ok?" Nick asked me suddenly. I realized I was tearing up because of the song.

"No, no, I'm fine." I told him. At that moment, we heard the cell door open. Two men entered. One if them tied up Nick and took him out of the room.

Nick's POV

I was confused when the man stopped halfway down the hallway. I looked at him.

"We're waiting here until my partner is through with your two friends." He told me. I wondered what they were doing to Taylor and Joe.

Taylor's POV

I wondered why Nick was leaving, but I didn't have time to think about it for long as the other man grabbed me and twisted my arms behind me. I saw him give Joe an evil grin. I was shocked at what he said next.

"Hit her." Joe just stood there.

Joe's POV

I couldn't believe what that man just said. I wasn't going to hit Taylor. When I just stood there, I saw the man pull her arms up and she winced in pain.

"Hit her." He said again.

"No." I said angrily.

"Either you do it right now or I take her somewhere else and do it myself." I gulped. It would be much worse if he did it and probably longer. I didn't want to hurt her though.

I looked at her with helpless eyes. She gave me a look saying "Do it. Please. I'll be fine." I slowly moved towards her with an apologetic look on my face as I lifted my hand in a fist.

"Stop! Punch her in the face. She better cry or else I do it harder later." I knew it was the only way to keep her safe, but her eyes had a pleading expression in them. I closed my own eyes and made myself hit her. Hard. I heard the smack and sobs when I pulled back. I opened my eyes and quickly turned away not wanting to see her face. The man pushed me away and dragged Taylor out of the cell. A moment later, Nick was pushed back in.

Taylor's POV

I was crying hard as the man stopped halfway down the hall and turned me towards him.

"Did you feel that? Your friend punched you. He hates you." The man said.

"No, he doesn't!" I yelled through my tears. I knew Joe didn't want to do it, but that didn't stop the pain. The man punched me hard and began dragging me back to our cell.

Joe's POV

As soon as the door closed and Nick saw the look on my face, he knew something was wrong.

"Joe, what happened?" He asked, coming over to me.

"That man made me hurt Taylor." At that moment, the door opened again and Taylor was thrown onto the floor in the cell, still crying. Nick hurried over to her. I couldn't. She probably hated me now. Nick cam back over and looked at me.

"Joe, aren't you coming? She's looking for you." Nick told me.

"Really?" I asked him, not believing it. He nodded and I smiled a little and followed him over to Taylor.

Taylor's POV

I asked Nick to go get Joe. I needed him more than anything right now. I relaxed a little when I felt his hand on my shoulder.

"Taylor, are you ok? I am so sorry." Joe said.

"I-it's n-not your f-fa-fault. It's o-okay." I told him. I felt him and Nick place me on a cot. Joe's hand felt cold on my arm as he helped me sit up. I looked at him and he gently placed his hand on my face. It hurt, but it was cold. I put my hand over his and placed my other hand on his other hand. I managed to stop crying as he rubbed my hand.

"Taylor, I am beyond sorry." Joe looked so sad.

"Joe, it's okay. I'd rather you do it than those men. That man did it a lot harder than you did when He took me into the hallway. Joe looked angry as I told him that. "Calm down. I'm fine. I'm just getting really scared now."

"They'll find us." Nick reassured me as Joe pulled me into a hug. Nick joined in and it became a group hug. I wondered how the others were doing as Joe and Nick comforted me.
