Barakat, Jack Barakat

Amy awoke the next morning, body aching all over. She stretched while trying to sit, immediately regretting it. She looked down at her arms in shock. Bruises covered her arms as flashbacks from the previous night flooded her mind. A tear fell down her cheek as she tried to suppress the memories. She was used. She was used to satisfy the needs of Tony. She sat up against the cold, hard wall, bringing her knees up to her chest, hugging them. She began to cry. How was someone supposed to find her? She thought that she could manage to sneak her phone in with her without anyone noticing, but they noticed. They had confiscated her phone. She had no idea where they had put it, but she assumed that they had broken it by now. She had the smallest bit of hope that someone would somehow find her, she was alone and terrified. The person she longed for most, probably wouldn’t even be thinking of her right now. She had broken his heart. Broken up with him over such a silly reason. He had probably gone out the night she broke up with him and picked up some girl at a local club. She continued to cry, thinking about that crazy, skunk haired guitarist who she loved so much. She was shaken from her thoughts when the door unlocked. Her head snapped up, eyes meeting Holly’s.
“Oh good, you’re up!” Holly said, walking over to Amy, grabbing her face and pulling her up onto her feet.
“Have you been crying? Aw, poor babe. Don’t worry, we’ll put you out of your misery soon” she said, giving Amy a sly smirk. She pushed Amy harshly against the wall, head hitting it full force, wincing.
“I can’t wait to have Jack back. Just think of all the fame I’m going to get! And you won’t be there to witness any of it. I’ll have to make up a story about where you have disappeared to. Maybe you moved to Australia because you knew how happy he would be if he were to be back in a relationship with me, rather than you” she laughed.
“Jack will see right through your bullshit” Amy said, spitting in Holly’s face. Holly was not amused, she let out a groan of disgust, grabbing Amy by the throat.
“Listen here you pathetic bitch, I’ve fed Jack so much bullshit in the past and he didn’t even question it. As long as you’re there to satisfy his needs, he doesn’t give a shit what you say to him” she said through gritted teeth. Amy was now struggling for breath, holding onto Holly’s arm.
“Ha, I should see how long it takes for you pass out like this” that’s when Holly heard a lot of noise coming from the corridor outside of the room. She looked towards the door seeing the two guys who took Amy run past frantically. Amy was on her last breath now as she felt her eyes closing. Once passed out, Holly let her fall to the floor, making her way out of the room to see what the commotion was all about. Police. Shit. She ran down the corridor turning the corner colliding with an officer. She tried her best to get away, turning around and running in the opposite direction, but was cut off by Jack.
“I should’ve known it was you” Jack growled.
“Jack, babe. It’s not what it looks like” Holly said, backing up.
“Where is she?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about” Holly said nervously.
“Tell me where the fuck she is!” Jack raised his voice, causing Holly to jump slightly.

“I’m really worried, man” Jack said, looking up at Alex.
“Yeah, me too” Alex replied, running a hand through his hair. It had been over 24 hours since anyone had last seen Amy. Alex being the last person to see her.
“I didn’t want to do this, but she left her Apple ID login on her bedside table. Should I use it to track her phone?” Jack asked Alex.
“I think you should. At least then we would know where she is and could drive there to see if she’s okay”
“Okay, gimme a sec” Jack pulled out his phone opening up the Find my iPhone app, typing in Amy’s details and waiting for the location of her phone to pop up.
“This can’t be right” Jack said, confused.
“Why? Where is she?” Alex asked.
“According to this, she’s in that abandoned prison. This can’t be right, can it?” Jack said.
“I don’t like the sound of this. Something’s off. We should phone the police” Alex said, pulling out his phone and dialling 911, walking into another room leaving Jack to his thoughts. Amy, where the hell are you?
“So, they said that because she’s been missing over 24 hours, they can officially put it down as a missing persons report. They’ve agreed to escort us to the old prison to check it out. Although if it’s just her phone they find there, I’m pretty sure they’re gonna be pissed” Alex said.
“I really hope she’s there, and that she likes exploring these places” Jack said. The pair got themselves ready and drove to the police station. From there they were escorted by two officers to the prison. The two officers proceeded into the old prison ahead of Alex and Jack to make sure that the place was clear, however, when they didn’t return to Jack and Alex, they began to worry.
“GET DOWN ON THE GROUND, NOW!” they heard one of the officers shouting. They quickly made their way inside the prison seeing one of the officers pointing their gun at a pair of guys who were on theirs knees, dressed in all black. The other officer stood there on his radio calling for backup.
“I swear; it was all her! She’s crazy! She’s pretending she’s pregnant, she’s mentally unstable, I tell you!” one of the guys were rambling.
“Wait, who’s pretending they’re pregnant?” Jack asked, pushing the officer out of the way.
“Please sir, do not speak to him” the officer warned Jack, trying to push him back.
“That psycho bitch! She’s in there with that other girl!” One of the officers made their way down the hall, while Jack took off in the other direction. He was walking down a corridor when he saw her. Holly.

The officer walked up behind Holly, pulling her hands into cuffs, Holly started laughing.
“We’ll be together again someday, my love! Don’t worry about her. I’ll make sure she doesn’t come between us again!” She laughed, being pulled off by the officer. Jack noticed a door to his right that was slightly open. He peered in not ready for the sight he was about to see. There lay Amy on the floor, lifeless covered in bruises. He quickly ran in straight over to her, shouting for Alex. He knelt on the floor next to her, pulling her up into his arms. She was unconscious, but still breathing. He surveyed her body. Her arms were different shades of black and purple, slight cuts around her wrists and ankles from where she had been restrained by the ropes. Her bottom lip was split open, dry blood covering her chin. She had a few cuts on her forehead which were also accompanied by dry blood. Hand prints around her neck where she had been choked countless times the night before. Jack stared at her as he waited for Alex to arrive. He was shaking with anger, hands balled up into fists.
“ALEX, HURRY THE FUCK UP AND GET AN AMBULANCE” Jack shouted in annoyance. He couldn’t wait much longer, he carefully picked Amy up and carried her out. She was so fragile at the moment. He was scared in case he would hurt her somehow, although he doubted it could get much worse. There was an ambulance waiting outside as Jack emerged with Amy in his arms. Alex just stared in shock, unsure of what to say.
“What… Who- who the fuck did this?” Alex asked, enraged. The paramedics rushed over to Jack taking Amy from him and placing her down on a gurney and putting her in the back of the ambulance.
“You!” Jack spat, pointing at Holly who was now sitting in the back of a police car. She just smiled at Jack. Jack opened the door about to pull her out of the car when Alex pulled him back.
“She’s not worth it!” Alex said to him. Holly started laughing.
“I’m not the only one who did this, you might want to look at the two dickheads who ratted me out!” she said, looking towards the other two guys. Jack stormed out of Alex’s grip towards to the two guys who were giving statements. Jack was sure he was going to lay into both of them. Two police officers blocked Jack off from getting at them.
“Please sir, calm yourself down. This will be taken into our hands and we will deal with this appropriately!” Alex walked up to Jack.
“Come on, they’re about to drive Amy to the hospital” he told him. The pair walked over to the ambulance and got into the back without saying another word. Jack sat at Amy’s side, taking her hand in his, stroking her hair. He started to cry.
“I’m so sorry, Amy. I promised you that I would never let anyone hurt you or touch you again. I will never forgive myself” he sobbed.

Ha, I almost typed 999 instead of 911 in this chapter.
