Alex's POV
I couldn't get the kiss out of my mind, I was laying in my bed, running my fingers over my lips, memorizing how soft her lips felt against mine.
I felt my heart pound faster every time I thought about her or the kiss.
My thoughts were broken when Rory entered my room, screaming out her lungs, I got up from my bed and she rushed to me with tears on her face; she clung herself to my legs, hiding her face in them.
I sighed, knowing who did this to her.
"I didn't break it," Daniel yelled from the other room.

There was a lot to look into, and I needed someone’s help without explaining much.“Can’t we work on your project for another day?

Lavender’s POVI gasped for air as the cold water hit my skin. Panic filled me once I saw the two men from earlier standing by the door. I tried to move, only finding myself restrained to the wooden chair.Both of them took off their masks and smirked.I couldn’t see their faces clearly with the dim light in the room. But their presence was enough to fill me with fear. My gaze fell on the sharp object in his hand, feeling blood stop in my veins.“Wakey wakey princess,” he said with a smile as he came closer to me. He bent to my eye level then brushed my wet hair away from my vision, I squirmed from his touch, but he held my jaw roughly and looked into my eyes.“Don’t make it hard on yourself or we will send your head to Alex,” he threatened me, holding the knife against my throat.

All I could think of was calling the police, I couldn’t just stay here doing nothing.“I hope she is fine, you know what I will call the pol-““You do that and they will kill her,” Tia shouted, jolting up from the chair. She was right, they had a gun as she mentioned and if the police are involved, they could kill my baby girl.A knock came on the door and I rushed to open the door, thinking it was Lavender. Disappointment hit me as I saw Alex, Ruby, and Dustin. I let them in and closed the door, already feeling crushed.“Mr
