Chloe's Pov
You have received 1 new massage.
The vibration of my cell phone wakes me out of sleep and makes me groan.
Unknown: Wait for me!
I looked at my phone and it was a text from an unknown number. Again, this fucking unknown number. Wait.. it can't be Zoey this time right? She's in the jail, she can't text me. I'm overthinking. I should just ignore the text.
I looked around and saw Leah was sleeping peacefully beside me. I tried to get up from the bed, trying not to disturb her sleep but she just holds me closer. I kissed her cheeks "Good morning baby" She smiled and mumbled "Morning" I ran my fingers through her hair and then getting up slowly.
. . .
We sat in the kitchen chatting as we were eating breakfast.
"Chloe, you remember my mom wanted to see me last time?" Leah said and I nodded. As I tipped more cereal into my bowl.
"So I decided to visit her, today" Leah said.
"That's great, you should" I smiled and began to eat my cereal.
"Yeah, I'm done. I think I should go now" Leah said as she finished her cereal and got up from chair. I watched her get her bag ready and put on her jacket.
"See you later" Leah said and headed towards the door.
"Take care" I responded and looked down into my cereal bowl and played with my food for a second. The door slammed shut.
I finished my cereal and stumbled up and dumped the bowl into the kitchen sink and poured myself a drink of water and quickly tipped it down my throat and let out a loud sigh of refreshment.
I took a hot shower and got ready. I had planned on taking a drive. I look out from the balcony and I could mildly see Leah range rover speeding down the road. I picked up my bag and got moving.
There was nothing like a morning drive through the murky city on a rainy day.
I got in the lift and went down into the elevator, I got the button to the underground parking. The car park was dark and empty, a few cars were parked, but not another soul around, I spotted my car and started walking towards it. A hand slid around my neck.
"No!" I screamed as the hand began to strangle me. I kicked and struggled, naturally my first instinct was to fight it.
"Stay fucking still" A voice yelled. My mind couldn't register who the voice was, I barely had time to figure it out before a cloth was slipped over my mouth and the room began to darken, my eyes closed. I was in a deep sleep.

It was beginning to get dark as time flew, After visiting my mom I was driving down the street heading back home. It didn't go as bad as I thought. She's eventually happier than before. I couldn't wait to give Chloe a present I picked up for her. I sped down the street blasting my music and nodding my head to the beat of it. I pulled into the parking lot and locked my car and got out, I walked towards the elevator and spotted a strange looking stain on the floor.
I looked down at the floor in confusion for a second, the parking lot has been usually spotless, this stain was completely out of nowhere. I shook my head and got into the elevator, upon arriving at the top floor I opened the door.
"Hey Chloe! Guess what I got your gonna love this-" I yelled.
Silence.
"Chloe?" I said. It was getting late there's no way she would be out, I'd of expected her to be on the sofa eating a box of chicken nuggets and watching her favorite shows by now. I couldn't understand why she wasn't home.
I instantly grabbed my phone, I was so desperate to call her I almost dropped my phone with how fast I was moving to call her.
The phone dialed.
"Come on, Chloe please!" I said.

I woke up to my phone vibrating in my pocket, I was in a dark room... I was tied to a chair. My eyes widened at who I saw in front of me.
"I'll take that" Zoey shoved her hand into my pocket and took my phone out, she stood directly in front of me holding a knife. She answered the phone and smiled at me.
"Well hello there" She said, still smiling at me and playing with the knife in the other hand. She started frowning and she held the knife right up to my throat.
"She wants to talk to you" She said in a harsh tone, she held my phone to my ear.
"H-hello?" I said.
"Chloe! Are you okay? Please tell me you're okay, where are you?" Leah flooded me with questions. Zoey shifted to knife slightly closer to my throat.
"Leah, I can't talk right now..." I shuttered.
"Chloe please, where are you!" Leah cried, I could hear the crying and her sniffing on the other end of the phone. Zoey smiled at me and pulled the phone away and spoke again.
"Leah sweetie, why don't you come and get Chloe back?" Zoey grinned.
My heart sank.
"Calm down darling, I'll tell you where to find her" She smiled and bit her lip. She left the room for a while and stayed on the phone with Leah, while she was distracted I needed to find a way to escape.

I sped to the address that Zoey had given me, I could barely stick to a speed limit I was so desperate to arrive, within 20 minutes I had arrived at the house.
I sighed before getting out of the car and stumbled over to the front door, I was nervously squeezing my arm and rubbing it. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door and taking a big step back.
The door creaked open.
"Well if it isn't my dear best friend-" Zoey was cut off.
"Where is she?" I yelled. Zoey immediately grabbed my arm and dragged me inside.
"Get off!" I screamed, trying to pull myself away from her.
"Now, now best friend, if you want to see your wife it will be way easier for us both if you stop struggling" She said.

I sat helplessly on the chair and I could hear screaming from outside of the room, I knew it had to be Leah. I looked towards the door and a few seconds later Leah and Zoey stumbled into the room, Leah shot me a concerned look quickly and Zoey forced her sat in the chair next to me and tied her to it rapidly.
"Now Leah, I suggest you listen carefully" Zoey whispered. She picked up the knife off of the fireplace and continued to play with it in her left hand.
"You know you shouldn't play with knives, right?" Leah said. I turned around and looked at her in confusion, Zoey was getting angry. She held the knife right up to Leah's throat without words.
"So can I have my wife back?" Leah said nervously, Zoey lowered the knife away from Leah's throat and put it on the fireplace.
"No" Zoey said angrily.
"But you said that if-" Leah was cut off.
"First we are going to play a game" Zoey said in a low voice. Me and Leah looked at each other in panic and then back up at Zoey.
"What game?" I said nervously.
"Only one of you will leave" Zoey said.
"What?" I mumbled as me and Leah looked at each other confused.
"I will see who can tolerate more pain, whoever is stronger is free to go, the other stays" She said.
"YOU'RE CRAZY!" I screamed and Zoey slammed her knife into my side, I looked down, biting my bottom lip as tears flooded down my cheeks.
"Chloe! Are you alright!" Leah yelled with so much concern on her face.
"I'm fine, I'm fine" I mumbled as I sobbed and whimpered and looked at my lap with my eyes closed and the tears dropped onto my lap.
"Shut up" Zoey hissed and slapped Leah clean across the face.
"Can't you just let us go we will never bother you again we promise" Leah pleaded to her.
"No. I need Chloe near me, she's mine. She belongs to me" Zoey said stubbornly and held my cheek, I jerked my head away shaking her hand off me.
"I am not yours! I'll never be yours!!" I said and stayed facing away from her, Zoey grabbed my chin and forced me to face her.
"You're mine sweetheart and always will be" She said staring into my eyes.
"Don't touch her!" Leah hissed.
"Excuse me" Zoey screeched and turned around and wrapped both of her hands around Leah's throat and immediately began to squeeze.
"No!" I screamed "Leave her alone!"
"Or what" Zoey said as Leah began to struggle for breath. I stayed quiet, but watched for a while before Zoey finally let go, Leah sat gasping for air.
"Well I will not let her die so easily. I have something else in mind" She said and left the room. I looked at Leah.
"I'm so sorry baby" I mumbled to her, she stared up at me, her eyes full of pain and despair.
"Don't apologize, it's not your fault" Leah said, as she catch her breath. Zoey burst through the door with a strange bottle of clear liquid in her hand.
"Thirsty?" She grinned and held the bottle to Leah. Leah stared at her in confusion.
"What's that" Leah said.
"Just shut up and open your mouth" She hissed.
Leah kept her mouth shut and looked away from her, Zoey grabbed her bottom jaw and forced her mouth open and began pouring the liquid down her throat. It seemed like her throat was burning by that thing. She cried in pain and blood poured out of her mouth, her cries were accompanied by the screams of me being shocked. She began to fall unconscious as her body failed to tolerate the pain.
"Please" I shouted as I watched Leah fall unconscious slowly on the chair.
"LEAH" I yelled "Leah please wake up!" I cried, Zoey slowly walked to me and kneeled down to me and began stroking the side of my face.
"Calm down" She whispered as she ran her fingers through my hair.
"I'll let her go if" She said.
"What?" I said, looking into her eyes as I sobbed a little. She wiped a tear from my eyes and pecked me on the lips quickly.
"If you agree to be my girlfriend" She said and a serious expression crowded her face.
"But-" I was cut off.
"But WHAT" She hissed and grabbed me by the throat.
"I don't want to date you" I bawled.
"I guess you need convincing" Zoey sighed and a small smile plastered across her face.
Before I know it, she grabbed the knife and walked to Leah's unconscious body and hold the knife to her neck. Her smile grew even bigger as she spoke "You can't date me because of her right? I guess I just have to end her right now. You left me with no other option" She smiled.
My eyes widened and I panicked "No please, don't hurt her. Just let her go" I mumbled and she grinned.
"You know what I want" She said and walked towards me "Or do you still need convincing?" She yelled at me and stabbed the same place on my side again, she watched me cry waterfalls as I bawled in pain.
She licked one side of the knife and held it to my mouth "Want a taste?" She said and I swung my head to the side trying to avoid her "No!" She grabbed my chin hard and pulled my mouth open and ran the other side of the knife on my tongue, the blood dropping onto my lip and down my face. She has completely lost her mind.
"Well?" Zoey mumbled. I looked up at Leah and saw her eyes slowly opened.
"Leah..." I said softly.
"Look at you" She said as she looks at how fucked up I looked. I was a crying mess, my hip was pouring blood.
"Nevermind that" I sighed "I have to..."
"You have to what?" Leah asked.
"I have to date her" I said and a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Chloe no..."
"I'm sorry it's the only way, she'll let you go!" I said, with a crack in my voice.
"Please Chloe, I can handle it. Don't let her break you down. You know you don't want to do this" Leah said and gave me a sympathetic look and a few tears escaped me.
"Alright, enough with this bullshit. You have 10 seconds to take your pick Chloe" Zoey sighed.
"Okay okay I'll stay with you, just let her go okay!" I cried, Zoey dropped the knives, she wiped my tears and kissed me on the lips.
"That's a good girl" Zoey grinned and continued to wipe away every last tear from my face. She walked back to Leah and pushed her head to the ceiling and stuck a needle in her neck. I was sobbing uncontrollably. I watched through my teary vision as Zoey cleaned up Leah, wiping the blood from her mouth and flushing her mouth with water, she then dragged her out of the room and the door slammed shut.
I don't know what I have gotten myself into, letting her have her way, I had a strange feeling and a spark of fear about what might happen. It looks like she has completely lost her mind. My vision was getting blurry as darkness took over.
