Noah
"Bubba-munchkins, don't you love me?"
"Yes, Abi. I love you." I lie through gritted teeth. A small part of me wishes Richelle were still here, and I that I wasn't in this situation, but I know it was the right thing to do. I guess Abi is my 'one and only', as she likes to call it. I'm never getting out of here.
"Good, because we'll be together forever. Also we're getting married next month." she responds, nonchalantly.
I almost choke on my own spit at the sound of marring Abigail Bergman. However, I do manage my way into a coughing fit. "Are you sick? Do you need water? Let me get you some water. SIMON! GO FETCH SOME WATER!!!"
A man comes back with a glass of water and hands it to Abi. She passes it to me and I drink some of it. I sigh. "Like I was saying. A wedding. It will be perfect." she says.
"Yes. It will."
"Exactly." she nods.
I don't want to be married to Abigail Bergman. She's a psycho. She's mental. So incredibly dimwitted, that she can't seem to comprehend that I hate her. But... do I really have a choice?

Richelle
This is so messed up. How the actual hell did this happen? I need to rewind everything:
1. Abi is with Noah.
2. Noah breaks up with Abi.
3.Noah dates me.
4. Abi abducts Noah, Ozzy, and I.
5. Abi tries to kill me.
6.Abi lets us go, because of Noah the sweet idiot, but an idiot none the less.
7. Ozzy and I go looking for Noah with A troupe.
Okay. Wow, that's a lot. My hip is killing me, I don't know what's wrong with it.
I let out a loud sigh to see if anyone notices. I look around and no one does anything. I let out another dramatic sigh, louder this time. No one does anything. Halfway though my louder sigh Sloane turns to me.
"We all heard you. No one cares." she says, rolling her eyes and going back to her phone. Rude. It's not like Ozzy can give me any attention, he's sleeping. Piper glares at Sloane and comes to sit next to me.
"Hey," she greets.
"Hey."
"Don't worry about them. They're just jealous."
"Of what? My sarcasm. My naturally rude personality? The only friend I have? The fact I was abducted, because someone wanted my boyfriend? The fact that a psycho has my boyfriend now? Or the fact that I've been beat a lot over the years?" I ask, with sarcasm practically dripping from my tongue.
"Relax. I mean that you're confident. You have an amazing boyfriend. Your friend is really loyal. And you have me to stick up for you." she says. I smile at her and look down at my lap, moving a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Don't be so hard on yourself. A-Troupe is so stupid. I don't even know why I'm on A-Troupe anymore honestly. This troupe is so toxic, it's overwhelming."
"Yeah, it is." I say softly, looking up at her.
"Richelle, we're going to get Noah back," she says. I hum in response. I find that hard to believe. I mean it's not everyday that your boyfriend get abducted. All of this is happening to fast for me to keep up...
"We will. And once we find that bug-eyed, cockroach, we're going to get her in juvenile detention. Then we can make it to the qualifier-"
"Oh god, I totally forgot about the qualifiers!" I panic. "I am so sorry. It's all my fault we might not go."
"It's not your fau-"
"YES IT IS!" Amy disagrees from the front of the bus. 'Yeah's' and 'Its is's' are heard from the group.
"See I told you it was."
"Why are you taking their crap? A-Troupe is so annoying. That's- nevermind, but besides that don't listen to them. Especially Amy!" Piper says, glaring at her - though she can't see it.
"Thanks for having my back Piper." I thank.
"No problem. You deserve it."
I smile at her. This has been too long of a day.

Noah
"Now Noah, look at me and tell me you love me." Abi demands, as she stands infront of me. This demon tied me up... again.
"I. Love. You."
"Like you mean it, because you do!" she says, grabbing my jaw and staring intensely in my eyes.
"I love you, Abi."
"Good. Now beg me. Beg me to come to you." She walks away to the far side of the room.
"Abi please come closer! I love you! Please come back! I want you! And only you!"
"And not Richelle?"
I hesitate, before inhaling. "And not Richelle."
"You hate Richelle?" she asks skeptically, coming forward three steps.
"I hate Richelle."
"With a passion?"
"With a passion," I repeat.
"Good, because if you're lying," she says, finally walking over. "I. Will kill you. You'll be mine forever. Just you and me."
She evilly giggles, "Me and you. The basement. Alone. Together."
I nod, unable to look at her. Is she crazy? Actually, nevermind. This whole situation is crazy. "Don't you like that baby?" she asks, stroking my chin.
"Yes Abi. I love it."
"Good. We'll be together." she says, coming closer for her lips to graze my ear. "Forever."
