DANIEL'S POV

Later that night, I hear the door of Jonah's apartment open and close. I come out of the bedroom and go down the hall. "Jonah?"

"You wish." Rounding a corner, Garrett is standing in front of me.

My pulse picks up. "Garrett? Are you insane? Get out or I'm calling the police!"

He scoffs and starts toward me, every step forward of his, I take one back. His eyes are unfocused, and I've seen this look far too many times. "I couldn't care less." Soon I'm backed into the kitchen island with no way out. "You talked."

"Talked?" I repeat. "What are you-?" Then it hits me like I ran into a brick wall - he knows I spoke to James about filing charges. Which, to Garrett, is very, very bad. "Garrett, I-"

"You what?" Garrett scoffs again. "Get yourself out of this one Daniel. I'd like to see you try."

"What is wrong with you?" I blurt out, unable to help myself. "I'm finally happy, and you don't get to just come in here and take that away."

Without warning, Garrett's hand comes down on my face, and he hits me hard. "Bitch," he spats.

I cover my stinging jaw with my hand. Enough is enough. Sarcastically, I respond, "That's funny. I stopped being your bitch a long time ago."

Garrett growls, and pulls out a gun from his belt. My hands immediately fly up in surrender. "Not my bitch anymore, huh?" He scoffs. "And yet you're still going to do what I say, because I'm the difference between life and death for you right now."

"Garrett," I say slowly, although my heart is screaming and every inch of me burns with the want to run. "You're not okay right now. Let's not do anything we're going to regret later."

"Too late for that." He drags me over to a window, and smashes it open. "Out."

"Garrett-"

The handle of the gun comes across my face, and I spit out blood onto the glass on the floor. "I said out!" Garrett shoves me through the window, and into a waiting black van. He starts the engine and peels away from Jonah's apartment building.

And then it hits me.

I just got kidnapped.
