When will the princess figure it out she ain’t worth saving?

Outfit of the chapter
Colorado Springs

Max let out a cry when she woke up and realized she was still in the basement. Somehow she had fallen asleep and wished that all this was just bad dream. But waking up and seeing Bri’s face, feeling the cold concrete against her skin and barely being able to breath was a kick in the face back to reality. This was really happening.
"What a nice scar you have on your back Max" Bri said and looked at her. Max closed her eyes and curled up. She wanted it all to stop.

Alex and the others had tried to call for police but had to wait until it had been over 24 hours. If 24 hours had passed they could report her missing.
"For fuck sake, we know she’s missing" Alex growled and threw a lamp across the room.
"What can we do? We seriously have no idea what could have happened" Rian said and scratched his head. They had been awake for hours and they could still not reach Max. Her phone was still going straight to voicemail.
"What about Charlie? Could it be him?" Matt asked, and Alex shivered. Just the thought of what Charlie could do to Max in this moment scared him.
"I guess it could be him" Alex said and sighed. He sat down on the couch and hid his face in his hands. He was tired. He was beyond worried. Alex was scared. Really scared. Suddenly the door bursted open and Jack came in, looking really pissed off and with a Charlie in his hands. He threw him down on the couch.
"Now you tell me exactly what you told me" Jack growled and kicked the door closed. Charlie looked a bit scared but looked at the others.
"WHERE IS SHE, YOU SICK BASTARD?" Alex yelled and glared at Charlie.
"I didn’t take her" Charlie said.
"And you really think that I would believe that?" Alex asked.
"Listen to what he’s saying" Jack said and looked at Alex.
"I was going to talk to her yesterday when you left her alone outside, when someone called for help in the shadows" Charlie said. Alex looked at Jack, and Jack nodded.
"Called for help?" Alex asked.
"It was the cries of a woman, and when Max tried to see if she could help the woman attacked her" Charlie said.
"What? You really think I would believe that?" Alex asked.
"Attacked her?" Rian asked, and looked confused.
"Yes, the woman got up and when Max asked if she was hurt the woman said ‘No I’m not, but you will be’ and attacked her, dragged her away and before I could do something she was gone" Charlie said.
"I don’t believe this shit" Alex said and looked at Jack.
"Charlie, explain what the woman looked like" Jack said and looked at Charlie. Charlie swallowed and sighed.
"She was really beautiful, tall and had long brown hair. She was pale and looked like a typical model, a lot like… What is her name… Megan Fox" Charlie said and Alex heart dropped.
"She looked like a Megan Fox?" Alex whispered.
"Yes, and it seemed like she wasn’t that fond of Max" Charlie said.
"Brianna" Zack said and nodded. Alex swallowed and pulled his fingers through his hair. Now he really got scared again.
"Fuck… If she got him then she’s probably half way to China" Alex said.
"If it really is Bri she’s gone way too far" Jack said.
"She’s supposed to be locked up" Alex said.
"What do you mean?" Rian asked.
"She’s the one that started the fire in my house, and I’m getting really scared about just thinking what she might or might not do to Max" he said and shook his head. Jack looked at alex and was surprised by his tears. He looked so scared and he had never seen his best friend like this.
"You love her, don’t you?" Jack asked.
"Yes" Alex said and tried not to sob. They all looked at him, all feeling sad and hurt.
"This is all my fault" Alex said laid his hand over his eyes, and bit his lip to not let the tears spill over.

"When will the princess figure it out she ain’t worth saving?" Bri sang and picked up on of the nail hooks. It was big and about an inch wide.
"Please just let me go" Max cried and looked at Bri. Bri just smiled and pointed at her with the hook.
"Why would I? I need you to go through the pain I went through when Alex didn’t want me. Just that I can’t give you pain in your mind, only physical" she said. Max stared at her and Bri got up and walked up to her.
"Are you religious Max?" she asked, and Max saw a cross around her neck. With Jesus on it.
"Yes" Max said, and wished that Bri would believe it.
"Then why don’t we hurt you in a religious way?" she said and smiled. Max stared at her, and she let out a cry when Bri grabbed her hand. But when Max fought back Bri hit her in the head with the hook. For a moment everything was spinning and Max felt dizzy. She felt blood drip from the hit and Bri grabbed her hand again.
"You know what… I want to test something on you" Bri said and placed Max hand on the wall. Max couldn’t struggle because of the dizziness but she soon realized what was going on. And with a heartbreaking cry she screamed with all she got when Bri picked up a hammer, and pierced the hook through Max hand and in to the wall.
"You’re not going to be Jesus, but at least it’s pain" she said and smiled. Max cried and didn’t know what to feel. All her emotions was all over the place and the pain was enormous. Her hand was throbbing and she saw blood streaming out and down her arm. She didn’t even cry or scream, because the pain had paralyzed her.

About an hour later, from what felt like a year or a lifetime for Max, Bri appeared before her again.
"You know what… From what I can see you’re not in the right amount of pain yet" she said and Max looked at her. She felt scared for a short second but it disappeared in the feelings and thoughts on the throbbing hand.
"Why don’t we add some more burn scars to your body?" she said and raised a hook that was glowing. Max suddenly didn’t feel the pain in her hand, but only felt the horror of what that glowing hook would do. She could hear the sound of skin burning, feel the smell of burned flesh and she could almost feel the pain inside her.
"Where should we put it?" Bri said and looked over her body. Max shivered and teared up, and closed her eyes.
"From what I know the underside of the the foot is very sensitive" Bri said and Max let out a heartbreaking cry when she heard the flesh burn, felt the pain from her foot race up to the rest of her body and soon could smell what she had imagined before her earlier. She tried to kick Bri but Bri was faster than her and avoided it.
"You wanna know what? As punishment for that I will do this" she said and put the heated hook against Max chin. Max cried out and the pain was more than she could bear, and she passed out.

When she woke up again Bri was lying on the floor. Unconscious for some reason and next to her Max saw her iPhone. Her lovely iPhone. It was broken and the glass was broken. It would be hard but she could maybe reach it. She cried and cried because of the throbbing hand, foot and cheek. Because of the sore body she had and because of her thumping head. But she managed to reach her phone with her foot, and she got it up to her free hand. the screen was broken and it was only a blue screen.
"Fuck" Max cried and almost threw it away. But when it dropped from her hand she suddenly heard the voice of Siri.
"Max, what can I help you with?" Siri asked. Max felt such joy and happiness from it.
"Siri, call Alex" she said.
"Which Alex do you want me to call?" she asked back.
"Alex Gaskarth" Max said and teared up.
"Calling Alex Gaskarth" Siri responded. It felt like hours before Alex finally answered.
"MAX?! ARE YOU OKAY?" he called out and she could hear that his voice almost cracked.
"I want you to log into my iCloud account" she said.
"No Max, we need to find you" Alex said.
"Alex, log in to my iCloud account and use Find My iPhone… Please" she said. No he understood what she wanted and he rushed over to a computer. She told him how to log in and then he used Find My iPhone.
"Max, I’ll be there as soon as I can" he said.
"Please don’t freak out" she said, and let out a cry.
"I’ll be there real soon and" he said, and was interrupted by Bri’s scream. She got up and screamed out in anger, and Max cried out.
"MAX?!" Alex called in the phone.
