❝ and if somebody HURTS you,
i wanna FIGHT ! ❞

another love, tom odell.

JAELIN DIDN'T KNOW how long she was in the room. if she had to guess, probably two or three days.

she would stay awake with her thoughts until she was too tired and passed out. she was still an early bird- which truly was a gift and a curse, so she awoke when light was starting to show from the window.

whenever she did, she would always wake up to cooked eggs on a plate on top of a tray and a bottle of water next to it. at first, she didn't trust it, not eating it and preferred to starve than die from food poisoning.

unbeknownst to the girl, the grabber had obtained valuable information unintentionally from his brother, max. sure, he was pissed off that his brother gave away the most basic things that could lead jaelin to knowing who he was, but all those things he learned were minor, fixable things.

but there was a point where she couldn't physically think and function without food. so alas, she ate the food and drank the water. though, not a lot, because there was no bathroom at all.

she felt unhygienic the second she got here, and the mattress was for sure moulding away. however, that wasn't her main focus right now. she's tried relentless times to try and escape, but failed miserably each time.

during the time she was there, she managed to finally process and piece together what happened the last couple days.

the man who kidnapped her and robin was, in fact, the grabber. she was sure of it.

she hated herself for leading her and robin to this. it was her fault. the one time she let her guard down and followed a stupid balloon in a deserted area, lead for her to be stuck in a room and robin somewhere unknown to her.

she was stupid. more than stupid. she shouldn't have been so curious. after all, curiosity did kill the cat.

and unfortunately, she might just be the cat in this situation. she just hoped robin was okay.

ROBIN WAS NOT okay. not even in the slightest bit. it was crazy how it felt like just a second ago, him and jaelin were walking to the store, not having a care in the world other than getting snacks and going back to his house.

robin went through the same routine the previous boys did. he'd get scrambled eggs and a bottle of sprite for breakfast, nothing else. he was trapped in a basement containing a mattress and window, a pathway leading to a small area with a bunch of rolled up carpets and a toilet.

oh, and how could he forget about the black phone hung near the right of the mattress on the wall. but it was broken. it didn't work, no matter how many times robin had tried.

on the third day, the grabber came down to visit him again. though, robin had a game plan...sort of. on that day, the grabber had left the door unlocked.

robin finally felt a sense of hope. so, he grabbed one of the sprite bottles, slowly and quietly walking up the stairs into the kitchen.

that was robin's first big mistake. he put up a good fight, however, the grabber knew how to play naughty boy all too well. it left robin passed out, and the grabber carelessly tossed him back onto the mattress.

and for a souvenir, the grabber took the belt buckle on robin's belt, placing it on his instead.

robin and jaelin were so far, yet so close. robin's yells and groans of pain could easily be heard by jaelin, and robin could've easily heard jaelin's screams and yells from the upstairs room.

if only both the rooms weren't soundproofed.

after naughty boy, the grabber decided to finally put his plan into action. he went to jaelin's room and drugged her, making her unconscious.

jaelin, to him, was an extra problem. she was with robin the only chance the grabber could take him. so he decided to take her too and inflict not just physical, but mental pain onto her. he wanted her to hurt, and not just her body parts.

JAELIN YET AGAIN awoke a couple hours later, but this time she wasn't in the same room. she opened her eyes and went to get up but something was restricting her.

she looked down and saw her hands were handcuffed to a little pillar in the left corner of the basement. she went to speak and when suddenly the only thing they came out was muffled.

she was handcuffed and her mouth was taped shut.

what. the. fuck.

she looked around and noticed a body laying on the mattress. she furrowed her brows and examined the body, noticing the familiar dark green bandana.

her eyes widened at the sight. she didn't know if robin was unconscious or...no, he had to be unconscious. robin was a fighter, he wouldn't give up so easily.

she was glad she was able to actually see him, but his back was faced towards her. who knows what could've happened to him.

she tried to call out to him whilst struggling against the handcuffs, but they were a shockingly tight fit, and the tape made everything she said to be incoherent.

unexpectedly, the door opened. it revealed the grabber in all black, wearing the bottom half of the mask, revealing his eyes. he looked at her whilst shutting the door behind him and she gave him one of her signature glares in return.

she watched him walk over to robin and crouch down to his level. he then looked back up at jaelin, "isn't it just amazing?"

jaelin narrowed her eyes at him. the grabber then turned back to robin and started playing with his hair, as if to test jaelin's limits. "if only i had hair like this." he continued to touch it.

"get away from him!" jaelin tried to say, but it obviously came out muffled. her limits were crossed and she started to try and rip out of the handcuffs: pulling on them, kicking them, bashing the metal rings against the wall.

but it was no use. the handcuffs were still tight around her wrists, and they were bound to leave a bruised mark.

the grabber then propped robin so he was sitting up, making him face jaelin. the girl looked at him in horror: his body was covered in bruises, scratches and he had some dried blood on his knuckles, hands and a busted lip.

overall, he looked awful. worse than when he would come back from a fair fight. jaelin stopped struggling as her heart broke from even looking at him.

"listen carefully." the grabber had a sharp, yet teasingly tone. it sickened her how he could be like this. how anyone could be like this.

he then pointed to various places around robin's body. jaelin just sat there silently, wanting more than anything to break free and run over to robin and take him away from the grabber's hands.

he then described how he's gonna stab him in specific detail. jaelin tried to block his voice out, but it was hard considering she wasn't able to use her hands to cover her ears.

"stop it.. stop." she managed to say, turning her head away in hopes of getting him to stop. to no surprise, he didn't listen and continued on.

her breathing was ragged as her eyes brimmed with tears. the mere thought of him stabbing robin in those spots made her feel sick and frightened for her crush and best friend.

"i'm going to make him bleed out like a blood filled waterfall." he finalised, letting go of robin's body. jaelin vigorously shook her head no as tears started streaming down her face.

the man then walked towards the right wall and sat down, staring at robin intensely.

during that, jaelin continued to try and escape from the handcuffs and somehow get the tape off her mouth. no matter how much she knew it wasn't possible, she at least had to try.

robin was just a few steps away from her, and she'll be damned if she let him out of her reach ever again.
