Hers

Property.

When I woke up, I looked around for Diana but could not find her anywhere. This wasn't even the same room as the one we shared together. 

I couldn't even move my arms. I was sitting down in a chair, but my arms were restricted. I grew more frantic when I noticed my arms were tied to the chair I was in. 

Why can't my life be normal? I thought to myself. I wished it was back to the way it used to be, where I didn't really have to worry about s**t. Now I had to worry about my own life.

I was 18, for heaven's sake. All i wanted was to explore the world, or at least some of it, god damn it. I could not even get into that for more than a few days. 

But did I actually want everything to return to normal? Did I want Diana in my life or not? 

I should be able to say no to that instantly because, no matter what, she did kidnap me. 

I should not be as fond of her as I am. I should not depend on her. And I most definitely should not want her as much as I do. 

She took me against my will. She beat me so bad. Now, my life is in danger most likely because of her. No, not most likely. Absolutely. 

No matter what I tried saying, I just could not not like Diana. I had this big thing for her. Why? I don't know. But I need to figure this s**t out because it makes absolutely no sense to me. 

Before I could think on that for another minute, the guy that was responsible for all this walked in. 

It was James.

Diana's POV:

As I watched Joanne being ripped out of my arms, I couldn't help but start crying. I have never cried over someone else. At least not someone I'm not supposed to care about.

I tried. I tried so hard to act like I hate her. I tried to tell myself I hate her. That I do not care about her and that I could careless if she got taken. 

But it didn't work. No matter what, I could not lie about the fact that Joanne has become my world within a very short period of time. 

It is so surreal to me because at first I kidnapped her just for fun. But it was more than that now. 

I tried protecting her so I would not have to actually acknowledge how much I need her. But when she was gone for so long that night, I started to panic. 

I looked everywhere in the theater but there was no sign of her anywhere. I thought I was given an easy way out. I tried to convince myself of that, but it was no use. I cared for Joanne more than I have ever cared for anyone else and I hated it. But, I loved it at the same time. 

I was going to try to pretend like it did not matter that she was gone, and I was doing so good until I got that call from Joanne. 

I was so shook. I thought about hanging up, but I just could not. I had my finger right above the end button too. 

Hearing how scared she was that night and how much she needed me broke my heart. Literally shattered it. 

When I finally found her sleeping on that bench, she looked so peaceful. But, she also looked like she was still scared even though she was asleep. 

That's when it all went down hill. I thought it was going to go back to normal, but f**k was I wrong. 

-Flashback- 

After we, a few of my men and I, found Joanne and put her in the car, we started to drive off. 

I had Joanne on my lap in the back seat stroking her hair when it happened. 

In a split second, one of my men in the front was shot right through the head. The driver got so distracted, so I started yelling at him to focus on the road. 

But, he couldn't when our tires were being shot at. He tried so hard to control the car, but it was swerving everywhere. 

When he lost control of the car and it started flipping, I knew I was going to die in this moment. If I did not die, I know that I am going to want to die. 

I know who was after us already. It was James. I have seen him do this to other people before. Hell, I have helped him do this to other people. 

I knew from the moment when Joanne called me and said that he let her go with out any struggle that it was James. I did not even have to hear his name. 

He used to always do this to people that he captured, so I knew when we got her he would make his move. It was worth a try though.

I just don't know why James is such a piece of s**t now. I mean, I do, but his reason is NOT good enough. 

I just hate him so much. 

After that , everything went dark.
