Elena's POV:I woke up feeling a pain in my head and opened my eyes to find darkness around me. I recalled how something was smashed on my head to make me black out. I panicked and tried to get up but my hands and legs were tied down with rope.I had no other chance but to yell for help."Help! Please, help me."I was hoping someone would hear me.Suddenly, I heard the noise of door and someone entered. A light coming from the torch fell on my face making me flinch."I'm glad you are awake."Ben kneeled down in front of me and I felt the anger pulsing through my veins."What the actual f*ck is this Ben? My mom must be going crazy. I need to go home before my dad turns the city upside down."He shook his head with an amused smile on his face making me angrier. I was glaring at him and he would be dead if I wasn't tied."You are mine and I am going to keep you here until you realize it," He smiled at me creepily.I was boiling with anger. If my hands weren't tied I would definitely give
Elena's POV:When I felt the water on my face I shoot up and looked at myself. I was dripping with water and injury on the head stung. I glanced at Ben who was standing in front of me, fuming."Is this the same guy who kissed you in college?" Ben asked shoving my cell phone on my face.There ten missed calls from dad and twenty from Eric and few from my friends. Then my blurry eyes landed on Jake's missed calls."No, he is not the same guy. He is a coworker. He must be calling to know if I have edited the pictures or not." I lied.He looked ready to believe me when my cell phone decided to ring again. Unfortunately, it was Jake. Ben smirked and answered the call."Where are you? We are going crazy here to find you" Jake said.A tear rolled down from my eyes when I realized how worried he sounded. I could tell he knew something was wrong."Princess, tell me what's wrong? Say something." He begged me.Ben captured my neck and leaned towards my ear."Ask him to come here and save you." H
Jake's POV: Eric cell phone rang and he picked it up. "What? Are you sure, dad? Okay, I'm coming back." Eric ended the call and looked at me. "We need to go back because they found some information". He said getting in the car. We went back to his house. Mrs. Edwards was crying sitting on the couch and Mr. Edwards looks extremely worried. "Jake, I'm glad you are here. I asked the car tracker company to inform us of the last location of her and the details show an area near the shopping mall. I'm heading there with police. But the cell phone company tracked her location, and it's showing a completely different area. Police think signals are weak and showing a wrong location. But we need to make sure so can you go with them? I can't trust an outsider with my daughter." He said looking at me with hope. "You should have told us everything. You could have told me but you think you are so smart to do everything on your own," Eric said looking angry. "This is no way to talk to her when
Elena's POV:He looked shocked and hurt after knowing the truth."I'm so sorry, mom and dad. I... I just thought he wouldn't do something that dreadful" I mumbled."Where's Jake?" Dad asked."He's in the surgery room. He got shot in the stomach" I said.Mom gasped and dad grimaced in pain. Eric's eyes were on me. I knew he was blaming me for Jake's condition. I was blaming myself too.The doctor entered the room and my parents looked at him in panic."Are you her parents?""Yes. How's she? Is everything fine?" Mom asked while dad put his hand on her shoulder."She has a head injury and she complained about an extreme headache so we ran the scan. It came fine. There is no sign of internal bleeding and damage. We have bandaged her wound and it stopped bleeding. She has lost some blood but nothing that vitamins and a good diet cannot help to recover. She needs lots of sleep and healthy food in her system" Doctor said.Dad and mom sighed. Eric turned his face probably to hide his tears."
Jake's POV:I felt soft caresses on my jaw and opened my eyes. It was really bright; the sun was just shining above my face. I looked around and realized I was lying on the grass in the garden. I sat up feeling confused.Someone placed a hand on my shoulder making me stiff. I turned back and found Hanna. She had a same beautiful smile on her face. Her black hair and her skin were glowing. She had a gold like an aura around her.I was shocked and confused to find her in front of me."Jake," She called my name snapping me out of the shock."Hanna, baby, I missed you so much," I said cupping her face and showering it with kisses.Her skin felt so light, so smooth and soft like a cloud.She smiled at me and put her hand on my jaw."I missed you too, Jake. But I'm so happy here. This is where I live and it's so peaceful," She said making me look around the garden.The garden was breathtaking and peaceful just like heaven."Is this heaven?" I asked her confused."Yes, it's something like he
Elena's POV: A doctor pushed me out of the room to check up on Jake. I called my parents and told them that he was awake and fine. Last night after I fainted, and failed to stop Jacob. The staff of the hospital rushed me back to the Er and the doctor asked me to stay overnight in the hospital for observation. Only one person was allowed to stay so I begged my parents to go home while Eric stayed behind with me. When he fell asleep, I sneaked into Jake's room leaving mine. I wanted to be with him when he wakes up. I never thought that I would love someone as much as I love my family. I never thought that someone would be so important to me someday. But Jake Carter was another story of my life that no one knows except my twin. I smiled knowing that Jake was awake and fine. The male nurse came out breaking me from my thoughts. "You can go inside," He said and left. I nodded my head and opened the door. He looked fresh and clean. His hair was wet and I frowned making my way to his
Elena's POV:I woke up feeling a slap on my face and found furious Anna standing near my bed hovering above me.I was confused for a moment and looked around to realize that I was still in the hospital.It was dark outside and it meant I slept all afternoon.Maybe I was tired."You bitch! I was going crazy when your mom called and asked me about you. Then I called every f*cking person in the college to just know if you were with them?" She said looking angry."I'm so sorry, Anna. I had no idea this would happen." I said feeling ashamed for not sharing it with her.She threw a glare at my way then hugged me. Honestly, I was expecting her to beat the shit out of me rather than hugging me. I embraced her back knowing how worried she might be for me all that time."Are you trying to kill me kindly? I can't breathe because of your strong hold." I said to her.She pulled away from me and I noticed tears in her eyes."If you pull something like this again, don't expect me to talk to you ever
Elena's POV"Look I don't want to leave the hospital tonight," I said giving him puppy dog eyes."Why?" He asked narrowing his eyes at me."Brandon is coming back tomorrow. I want to stay with Jake tonight in the hospital," I said grimacing."That's unbelievable, Elena. You have become crazy. Mom, dad, and Noah looked so worried for you." Eric said."I feel really bad for making them worry. But I gotta do what I gotta do to stay here." I said."I never thought you would become so selfish someday," He said with the disappointment."Eric stop with these constant lectures. I'm an adult and I can make my own decisions if you would let me," I glared at him."When have I stopped you? I always warned you, Elena," He said with the sharp glare."Then don't stop me now. Out of all people, you know what Jake means for me so let me do this. Now do me a favor and make sure no one stays here tonight except you." I said."And why would I do that? Why would I ruin my night for your fake sick ass?" He
