Anna, Jack and I have been stuck in this room together for about 10 minutes. We've just been talking. I don't think Anna likes Jack anymore though ever since our conversation in the kitchen. 

My parents should be home in about two hours. They work a lot. Usually, it's just my brothers and I. 

I really need to talk to Zach. We haven't talked much since what happened in the cafeteria with Austin. I still can't believe that Austin kissed me! The bad boy kissed me! 

I remember Austin telling me that he was going to make my life worse than it already is. Maybe...the clown was Austin? Well, I don't think so because Anna said that a boy she didn't know walked into the room and punched her stomach. 

It could have been Daniel's friend, (I still don't know his name.) 

It could have been Austin, or one of Austin's friends. 

It literally could have been anyone. 

"Hey, Anna, do you remember what the boy looked look?" I asked her. 

"Yes. He had brown hair, and brown eyes. He was kinda tall, he looked to be around 17, maybe." She said. 

"Okay, that helps thank you." I said. "I'll be right back." 

Jack, and Anna nodded. 

I walked down stairs. 

I decided to look outside, because why the hell not?

I walked out to the backyard. No one was out there. 

I wandered around the backyard, checking out the  perimeter. And making sure no ones here. 

But, I was wrong!

I felt something wrap around my waist. 

I looked down, and noticed they were arms.

At first, I thought it was one of my brothers playing a prank on me. 

"Daniel, is that you?" I asked. 

No one responded. 

"Max?" 

No one responded. 

"Noah?" 

No one responded. 

It can't be Jack because he's with Anna. 

"Who are you?" I shouted. 

He moved his head to the side of my face, so I could see him, but he didn't take his arms off of my waist. 

I opened my mouth, to scream. I began screaming. I was about 5 seconds into a scream, when Austin's hand covered my mouth. 

I narrowed my eyes at him, and he smirked. 

"Don't scream. Or I'll hurt you. Got it?" He said. 

I nodded. He took his hand off my mouth. 

He picked me up, bridal style. 

He started carrying me.

"Where are you taking me?"

I struggled to get out of his grip. 

"You'll see." He said. 

"We're you the clown that was in my window?" I asked. 

"Yep." 

"We're you the boy that came into my room, and punched Anna in the stomach?" I asked him. 

He didn't reply. He just chuckled. 

"Answer me!" 

"Nope, that was my friend." 

My jaw dropped. He just smiled. 

"Why would you let your friend do that?" 

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because I can." He said. 

This reminded me of my brothers back when they would abuse me and I would ask them something. 

No matter how much pain, they've caused me...they're family. I can't let that get in the way. I just can't. 

I rolled my eyes at him. 

We don't take that type of disrespect!  I thought to myself. 

"Put me down!" I shouted. "I don't want you to kidnap me!" 

I don't want Austin to kidnap me!

"I'm not kidnapping you!" He chuckled. 

 I mean, he grabbed me, covered my mouth, and now he's taking me somewhere. He's obviously kidnapping me. 

"Yes you are." I said. 

"No, I'm not." 

"Yes." 

"No."

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Whatever. Just put me down!" I complained. 

"Fine," he said, while smirking. Then, he threw me on the grass. 

I groaned in pain.

 He just laughed at my pain. 

Then, something very unexpected happened. His smile dropped. It quickly became a frown. 

Why? 

 He noticed something. Something I didn't want him to notice. 

"Ellie...what's that?" He said, pointing to the scar on my arm. From when I cut myself.
