*****Sofia's POV*****
Groaning loudly, I flop back down on to the crummy sofa in the centre of the cold hard basement.
There was absolutely nothing in here from what I could see that could help me get out. Nothing decent to even defend myself with.
It was as though Ashton had already thought this whole plan through to the end - proving himself to be a master criminal at the mere age of eighteen. What a fucking asshole!
I was so upset, so angry at myself for landing myself in this mess. The second he had pulled up in his car I should have ran for the hills...
All I could think of was that I should have told Vincent all about seeing Ashton at school when I had the chance. He was smart, he would have looked in to him right away if anything like this happened to me, but he didn't even know about him being here...
I hoped that Emma would think to tell him all about me running in to Ashton at school, maybe from there he would somehow be able to find and save me?
But I doubt it, I'm being extremely hopeful and extremely unrealistic. For all I knew, Vincent had let me run off in my childish meltdown, not bothering to chase after me like he had done before in the past.
I straighten up immediately, hearing the door unlock from the top of the steps, it creaking open and shining a brighter light down in to the darkened space.
My best chance here is to play along for now...
Make him believe that I'm really trying to work on 'us' and maybe he will trust me enough to take me outside?
Once I can get outside, somewhere public, I'll be able to find help...
"Here we go! Toast and beans!" He announces, as though it were a gourmet meal he had just whipped up, as I crank open a tight smile - with it failing to reach my eyes.
He was dangerous...
But I had to play nice...
