"Aww, what's the matter Melissa? Are you scared??" Brian smirked. Melissa's eyes filled with unstoppable tears as she looked up at the clearly unmistakable look of revenge on Brian's face. She suddenly felt that there was no way she was going to get out of this - alive at least.
"I ASKED you a question!!" Brian yelled, tapping the gun against her head. Melissa whimpered in fright and choked out in barely above a whisper, "ye..y...yes." Brian smirked and pulled her up off the bed to a standing position, "GOOD! That was my every intention! To make you SCARED to death!!" Brian then let out a wicked laugh at his own joke, "Get it?! Scared?? TO DEATH??"
Melissa sniffled and sighed hard, letting the tears free fall her face. Wishing with all of her heart that JC was there. Brian then grabbed a tight hold of her arm, making her wince in pain. "Come on! I got somethin' to show ya." Brian smirked as he started dragging her down the stairs. He took her outside and threw her into his car and took off.

JC sprinted back into the studios and busted into Johnny's office, "Give me the keys to your car NOW!" JC demanded. Johnny looked up from some papers and raised an eyebrow at JC. "Excuse me?"
"God DAMN IT I said give me the keys to your car!" JC yelled, starting to panic.
Johnny stood up and walked over to JC. "What on earth is the matter with you?!" JC ran both hands through his hair and let out a exasperated sigh. "I DON'T have time to explain. Melissa is in REAL trouble and I have to get back to her house before something happens to her!!"
Johnny looked at him quizzically and then tossed him the keys to his car, without asking any more questions. JC grabbed the keys and ran out to his car, jumped in it squealing tires out of the parking lot onto the main highway.
A few minutes later, JC slammed on the breaks and jumped out of Johnny's car, leaving it running and ran up the walkway to Melissa's house. He started panicking when he saw the door was ajar. He pushed it open and ran up the stairs seeing that she was gone. He quickly looked around in panic, hoping to find something to hint him off to what was going on.
JC then froze when he looked down at the bed seeing a few spots of blood from where Brian had scratched her arm.

Brian pulled up to the abandoned warehouse and shut the car off. "Remember this place Melissa?" Brian smirked, "We used to sneak over here ALL the time!" Melissa huffed and shook her head slightly, not wanting to remember any of her past with him.
Brian reached over and grabbed a hold of her chin, jerking her head around so she was looking at him. "You've already pissed me off Melissa. The more you do it, the worse this is gonna be on you," he hissed as he glared at her.
He then got out of the car and went over to her side, jerking her forcefully from the car. Melissa whimpered in pain clenching her eyes shut to block it out. Brian drug her into the old, battered warehouse and threw her down onto a chair, then proceeded to tie her up tightly.
"Hmm, well what should we do now?" Brian mused, tapping his foot in anticipation, "OH! I know! We can call that little pretty boy of yours and assure him that you're NOT in safe hands," Brian cackled, as he pulled out his cell phone calling JC.
"Melissa??" JC answered, praying it was her. Brian cocked an eyebrow at the phone and smirked, shaking his head. "Sorry loverboy! I hate to get your hopes up, but it's NOT Melissa!"
JC sighed hard and bit his lip, knowing that Melissa was in extreme danger, and it was all his fault for leaving her. "What have you done with her?"
"Oh well wouldn't YOU like to know??" Brian snickered.
"I SWEAR if you hurt her, I'm gonna come after you asshole!! I'm gonna rip your arms off your body and beat you to death with them!!" JC growled, standing up. "Oooh temper temper stick boy!!" Brian smirked, "I haven't hurt her," Brian paused, grinning before finishing his sentence, "YET anyways."
"If you KNOW what's good for you, you'll let her go!!" JC yelled. "Nah, the only thing that's good for me is making this little bitch PAY! And to make YOU pay by hurting her!" Brian chuckled, as he grabbed a handful of Melissa's hair and jerked her head back hard so he would make her scream.
He was successful. Melissa clenched her eyes shut and screamed out in pure pain and absolute terror. JC tensed up and sank down to the bed feeling extremely helpless. He sighed hard and closed his eyes, "Brian, I'll do anything if you just let her go! Please!"
"And take all the fun out of it?? In your dreams Chasez," Brian smirked, hanging up the phone.
Melissa then broke down into a fit of tears, shaking uncontrollably. Brian turned around and cocked an eyebrow at her, then walked up behind her rubbing her shoulders gently, causing Melissa to cringe. He tightened his grip on his shoulder and nuzzled his chin against her head.
"I don't know why you're making me do this Melissa. I loved you, and will ALWAYS love you. Then you had to go and be stupid by cheating on me with Twig Boy!" Melissa sniffled and gasped for a breath of air. "Wha...W...what are...you gon...gonna do...to me?"
Brian shrugged and walked across the room grabbing some water, "Oh you know, the usual stuff! Hold you hostage for a while so that everyone knows what happened, play with you for fun, and then...kill you."
Melissa huffed and glared at him jerking on the ropes that held her down, "You...you...are...SICK!" Brian laughed and shrugged his shoulders again, "Yeah well, none of that matters NOW does it?"
Melissa sighed hard and looked around the warehouse slowly, looking at everything. Knowing she'd never see the light of day again... or JC.
