Amber's P.O.V Jovana arrives at the Halloween store before pulling into a vacant parking spot and turning off the car. I follow her into the building, having her immediately lead us over to the adult costumes. "Okay, so what do you think we should be for the party tonight?" She questions as she scans over all the different options. I shrug my shoulders at her with uncertainty, finding little interest in the costume selections. "I'm down for whatever, I'll let you pick our outfits." I say. Jovana smiles in satisfaction as I speak those words, seemingly very happy that she would have the final decision. I follow her throughout the store, watching as she picks up a bunch of different items. "I'm thinking Kim Possible and Shego. What do you think?" She asks. I shrug my shoulders at her nonchalantly, not really having too much of an opinion. I could care less what we wear to this party.I just w
*Grab your flashlights! Things get really dark from here.* “Fooling everyone, telling them she’s having fun.” -Lana Del ReyAmber's P.O.V I climb into the crowded SUV before being pulled onto some random guys lap as there were no vacant seats available for me. The guy driving the car turns the music back up, having my body slightly vibrate due to its somewhat intense bass. I flicker my eyes a couple of times, allowing them to adjust as I look up at the dark haired guy staring down at me. "I really like your costume." The guy whose name I don't care to know says over the music as he pulls me further down onto his crotch. "Thank you." I say into his ear as I wrap my arm around his neck, smiling as I pretend as if he were Jack. I feel the guy sitting on the other side of the car grab onto my legs before pulling them
Amber's P.O.V I look down at my reflection in the water through my blurred vision, before wiping away my fallen tears. My eyes scan around the party surrounding me, looking at the different individuals dressed up in costumes. I hate everyone here. Everyone knew about the two students from campus that went missing, it was all anyone ever talked about once it hit the news. Yet no one cared enough to actually help me look for them. I hate this campus I hate this sorority I hate this pool I hate everything!!! With shaky hands, I use the tile underneath me to bring myself back to my feet. Slowly I begin to walk away from the pool, stumbling slightly in the process as I go to find myself more alcohol in order to push away all of my sorrows. Why isn't anything strong enough? Why do I keep fucking thinking about Jack?! I need something more. As I begin to walk towards the back door in order to reach the inside of the house I feel someone ac
*TRIGGER WARNING*Jack's P.O.V My eyes bore into her watery ones, feeling an array of different emotions cast over me as I tighten my grip around her neck. One month. That's all it took for her to forget about me? I thought about her every single day while I was in that fucking bunker. Not a day went by where I didn't think about her, yet she was here, getting drunk, dressing like a whore and fucking other guys. "Jack?!" Her pathetic and drunken voice calls out, only causing more anger to course throughout my body. They told me to kill her. They told me to fucking kill her after going to the police and getting all of Zac's intel compromised. How stupid can she be? Now she's a fucking liability. If it weren't for her I would've been back a long time ago. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have had to fake my death. Now it's going to be even harder to protect her from Zac's family. But honestly, why should I? She probably did all of this shit on pu
Ambers P.O.V I slowly peel my eyes open, feeling an extreme stinging sensation within them as the artificial light within the room begins to burn my retina's. As I feel myself regaining consciousness a nauseated feeling immediately strikes my being as my head starts to throb against my skull. My sore and aching body begins to tremble against the sheets beneath me as I struggle to take a breath. I feel so weak. Emotionally, mentally and physically. I've never felt so weak in my life. As I try to bring my hands up to my face in order to rub the back of my head and tend to my sore and throbbing scalp, I am restricted as the feeling of cold metal against my wrists stops my movements completely. Panic starts to set in as I slowly begin to remember the events from last night, making me realize that I have no idea where I am right now. I cautiously begin to sit myself up against these hard bed springs, causing an immense amount of pain to flo
Amber's P.O.V The red headed woman raises her hand at the tattooed man, officially dismissing us both from the space. The man whose name I assume was Toro guides me away from her office and through the very expensive and elegant-looking hallways before bringing me back over to the elevator in which we just came from. "Please sir! Please don't do this! Where are you taking me?" I ask, pleading with him frantically. The man quickly opens the door to the glass chambers, completely ignoring my question as he leads us back into the metal box where he selects the second floor.I need to find Jack. If I just explain everything to him then maybe he'll get me out of this place. They trust him.He's the only one that can help me. I need him more than anything right now. I just need him to listen. "Where is Jack?! Can you please take me to him?! " I ask, pleading with him once again as the elevator begins
I just want to take a moment to reimplement the trigger warning. This portion of the book is going to include some dark themes. There will be many triggering and sensitive subjects so please proceed with caution. This book may become hard to read at times (hopefully) butt I just want to say that you have been warned🤍Amber's P.O.V I cry silently to myself, feeling the car continue to sway as my arms remain hooked against the metal frames behind me. Different sniffles can be heard around the space as my body continues to fall into the person sitting beside me.Everything is going to be okay.Jack will save me.Jack will bring me out of this place.They trust Jack, he can get them to understand.I just need him to listen to me. I need him to hear my side of the story instead of what he thinks may have happened. Once he realizes the truth, I know he'll bring me out of this place.I just know it. After riding around in this uncomfortable position for what felt like ho
Amber's P.O.V My eyes cautiously roam around the dimly lit room before deciding to sit myself down on the bed before me . Once I find myself seated on the firm but soft mattress my eyes then fixate themselves on the ceiling. I scan around the different corners of the room in search for any cameras since I seemed to miss the one from before. After not finding anything concerning I then lay myself down completely in efforts to relax my body against the bedding. As I close my eyes my thoughts begin to race once again, leaving me to feel on edge. Where am I? What were all of those women separating in that huge garage like space ? Why were there so many of them?Why were they all in lingerie? Why did that man from earlier say that I wasn't working as one of their girls ? What happens to those girls? Why am I here with them?Why did that man separate me from everyone else in the line and take me somewhere else? What happened to those other girls? Why did that m
