Riley's POV
I woke up in Jason's bed with the sunlight streaming through the window and onto my face. I stretched lightly and rolled out of the bed. I walked over to the window and drew back the shades. Rays of sun hit me forcing me to shield my eyes from their unrelenting brightness. I sighed as I looked out the window at the blue sky. It was something I hadn't seen in what felt like ages. Blue skies and sunlight, I missed them both dearly. JASON: "what the fuck are you doing?" he jerked me away from the window and slammed me against the wall. Terror filled the pit of my stomach ME: "I.. im.. Im sorry I was just.." he gripped the top of my arms hard enough to bruise JASON: "just want trying to get help?" he glared at me with fury filled eyes and I shook my head ME: "no! I was just looking at the sky" he laughed bitterly and squeezed my arms tighter. I winced in pain. JASON: "yeah like I believe that ME: "Jason I swear I was just looking at the sky. I haven't seen a blue sky in a long time and I just missed it." he must have noticed that there was sincerity mixed with the terror in my eyes because he slowly released his grip and backed away. Jason started to pace the room and I rubbed my arms trying to ease the pain. JASON: "im sorry I thought you were trying to get help" he walked back over to me and moved my hands away JASON: "here let me see" he slid up the sleeve of the shirt and ran his fingers over the spot where he had grabbed me. A light hand shaped bruise was already starting to form. He sighed and look away JASON: "im sorry" he walked over and sat on the bed looking at the floor. I walked over and sat beside him. After a few minutes of silence he spoke JASON: "Alex and Johnson just left so I figured I would take you downstairs and get you something to eat, but you have to be good" he finally looked up at me and I gave him a soft smile ME: "Jason why are you being so nice to me, and do Alex and Johnson know about it?" he shook his head JASON: "no Alex and Johnson don't know. Lets just say they like to be a little 'rougher' with their captives, but since I took you they decided to leave you to me. As to why im being nice to you." he paused and looked over at me reaching up to wrap a piece of my corn silk blonde hair around his finger. JASON: "I have no idea" he smiled and something in my heart stirred. ME: "that's become quiet a habit of yours hasn't it?" I looked towards his hand which still and a strand of my hair twisted around it?" he gave my hair a gentle tug before releasing it JASON: "yeah I guess it has" he took my hand in his and, lacing our fingers together, led me out of the bedroom and down he stairs to the kitchen. He lifted me up onto the kitchen counter and turned towards the refrigerator JASON: "so what do you want to eat?" I thought for a second ME: "do you have stuff to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich" he nodded and got out bread, peanut butter, and grape jelly. I laughed JASON: "what?" ME: "oh nothing I think its just funny how in normal situations I would be the one making YOU a sandwich" he laughed and handed me the sandwich. After I finished eating he took the plate and put it in the sink. JASON: "you wanna watch some cartoons" I nodded and he took my hand and led me to the living room. He grabbed the TV remote and sat down on the couch, pulling me into his lap. When he was so nice to me like this it was hard to remember he was my kidnapper. But I had to stay focused on the plan and push my feelings aside. He turned the tv to Spongebob and then wrapped his arms around me lightly. About ten minutes later Jason sighed. JASON: "Alex and Johnson should be getting back soon. I better get you back to your room so they don't beat my ass" I nodded sadly and he gave my hair a playful tug JASON: "hey no pouting you should be thankful I've been this nice to you" I sighed ME: "I know im sorry" we walked back up to my room and I walked inside. He sent me a look saying 'behave' before shutting the door and sadly… locking it. And I thought we were getting somewhere. I sighed and plopped down onto the mattress. For once I wasn't tired and my back didn't hurt. I thought about how I had stayed the night in Jason's arms. Weirdly I didn't have a nightmare while in the arms of my kidnapper! I knew why. Because I was falling for him. The thought echoed through me like a ghost, haunting every part of me. It must be the circumstances causing me to loose my mind. Because I know for a fact that no one in their right mind would ever develop feelings for their kidnapper. But what if their kidnapper had a soft side, a caring side. And eyes that made you melt into putty when they looked at you.
Jason's POV
God damn I have to stop being so fucking nice to her! But I cant seem to shake this feeling I have. I felt bad for flipping out on her earlier and I remembered how the hand shaped bruises looked on her arms. I sighed frustrated and walked back down the stairs and my cell phone rung. It was Johnson ME: "yo Johnson what's up" JOHNSON: "Jason Alex is dead he's dead!" Johnson's sobs filled my ears ME: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" JOHNOSN: "the police shot him they thought we had the girl with us and they shot him!" ME: "no no NO! he cant be dead" JOHNSON: "im sorry Jason" I threw the phone at the wall watching as it shattered on impact. No he cant be dead! Alex is all I have left. I sank to my knees and sobbed. Its all riley's fault. They though she was with them and they shot him. She's gonna pay for this. I got up and raced up the stairs flinging her door open. She looked up with a shocked look on that pretty little face of hers. Oh yes she was going to pay.
Riley's POV
I heard someone coming up the stairs. And fast. I quickly prayed that Alex or Johnson hadn't found out about Jason being nice to me. Jason stormed into the room and I noticed almost instantly that the cruel face had returned. His eyes were filled with hatred and anger. ME: "Jason's what's wrong" he didn't answer he just stormed over to me and yanked my by my hair. JASON:" you're gonna pay you stupid little bitch" I wanted to ask him what the hell he was talking about but I didn't have the chance. He dragged me by my hair to his room and threw me onto the bathroom floor. He turned the water on in the tub and let it fill up. He grabbed me by my hair again and before I could react he forced my head into the ice cold water. The cold pierced my skin like needles and water filled my lungs. He held me under for a few seconds before yanking me back up. As I surfaced I gulped in air only to be shoved back under the water again. I inhaled a mouth full of the freezing water and it burned my nose and throat as I choked me. Jason repeated this about ten times. I felt like I was dying, like death was coming for me but it was taking its own sweet time. I could feel my lungs slowly filling up with the artic water and the burning in my chest was agonizing. I wanted to die but Jason didn't give me the chance. He finally plunged me into the water one last time before throwing me down onto the floor, my head smacked the tile as I hit. I coughed and spit up water, my lungs brining like someone had lit a fire inside of them. I gasped for air for what felt like eternity. Finally I regaind my breath and the hideous burning in my chest dulled. I wiped the soaking wet hair form my eyes with shaking hands. My entire body shook with terror. I swiped my hands over my eyes so that I could see. What I saw rocked me to the core. Jason was curled up into a ball in the corner of the bathroom crying like a baby. He rocked back and forth as heavy sobs racked his body JASON: "he's dead he's dean no he cant be dead Alex cant be gone" oh my god Alex is dead. I instantly felt pity for him and I crawled over to him taking him into my arms. I rocked back and forth with him and rubbed soothing circles into his back ME: "shhh shhh calm down Jason calm down. Its alright baby shhh" we sat there like that for hours. Him crying and me trying, and failing, to sooth and comfort him. After a while the sobs dissolved into tears and he buried his face into my neck. I wrapped im in a tight hug and held him JASON: "im so sorry. please don't leave me" I hugged him tighter and kissed his head. ME: "im not going anywhere"
