Evangeline
In a few seconds, pillows were flying in the air all around, followed by cotton and feathers from the poor, torn pillows. Very soon the whole room became a mess. We had all gone crazy with the pillow fight, making sure not to miss a single opportunity to whack the other. And then it happened. Leon picked up a beanbag, opened its zip and emptied the entire thing on my head. My hair, clothes, and even my shoes were filled with thermapol beans. For a few seconds I just quietly stood there, my mouth agape and my eyes widened at what had just happened. I looked over at Leon after my mind was able to process the situation and I glared at the culprit of that mess.
"Oh my God," he said trying hard to hold his laughter as he backed away from me, while Noah and Slade watched with curiosity and amusement, their eyes widened as well. Leon then burst out laughing, falling to the floor and started rolling down on the carpeted floor holding his stomach. "God...you..funny.." He muttered incoherently between his laughs. This is it. This means war. I took a pillow and sat on top his stomach so I was straddling him. I gave him a warning glare but he didn't stop laughing. So I hit his face, which was now streaked with tears of laughter, as hard as I could with the pillow multiple times. I am going to whack that laugh off his proud face!
Soon Slade and Noah joined me and we went all nuts on Leon, all at the same time, rendering him completely helpless. I got tired in a few minutes so I stood up and sat on the couch while Noah and Slade continued to hit Leon, teamed up against him.
"What the hell-" Leon was cut off by a whack.
"Are-" Whack.
"You-" Whack.
"Guys-" Whack.
"Doing?!" Whack again.
He then pushed both of them away while I kept on laughing looking at their childishness. I mean, who could have thought, that those hot, badass looking guys could have a pillow fight? I shook my head smiling at them.
"This is so not fair," Leon whined, "it's two verses one!" He pouted, which just earned him another whack, from me this time.
"Three verses one," I corrected him smirking.
"Oh, that's much more fair!" Leon replied rolling his eyes making me chuckle.
"Well you should've thought about that before throwing a pillow at her head, you started it man," Noah shrugged, with a look of pure innocence.
"Yeah, if only you agreed to watch Suicide Squad," I added rolling my eyes. "Why did you want to watch X-men anyway?" I asked him.
"Well, Sophie Turner is looking so hot in X-men," Leon whined ruffling his hair, to get rid of the feathers from his hair. I must admit he looked cute while doing that. A second later I registered what he had said, why he wanted to watch X-men.
"Margot Robbie is way hotter," I stated, crossing my arms, giving him a serious look. No, I'm not a lesbian. Margot just looks too hot as Harley Quinn and I'm a huge fan so I couldn't help it.
On hearing my words, Leon's facial expressions changed to utter shock. It seemed like he was having a Eureka moment. The look on his face was like someone just told him that Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana were the same people.
"Care to share why you look like you're about to pee yourself?" Noah asked him amused.
"Eva, you're a genius!" Leon exclaimed and gave me a gigantic bear hug.
"Get off me!" I yelled at him laughing, and pushed him away making him stumble backwards.
"I never thought about that!" Leon said covering his mouth, his eyes widened. This guy is so extra I swear.
"About what?" I asked fixing my hair.
"That Margot looks so smoking hot and sexy in that film," Leon said making a dreamy face as if he was thinking about ice cream. Okay, maybe that wasn't a very good example but I love ice cream.
"Seriously?" Slade asked annoyed, rolling his eyes. Leon gave him an innocent smile.
"Let's watch Suicide Squad!" Leon said clapping his hands, "You guys already wasted so much of my time," he added picking up the DVD from the floor and inserting it in the DVD player. We all narrowed his eyes at him at which he gave us a sheepish smile. He finally played the movie and we started watching Suicide Squad.

After we finished with the movie nothing significant really happened, we just sat and talked for hours. It was then that I decided to press for answers to some of the questions that had been bugging me since days.
"Can I ask you guys some questions which have been bugging me since... Well yesterday."
"Sure," Leon said munching on his chips like a pig.
"Was.. um.. Caleb the only reason why Lars kidn*pped me?" I asked awkwardly.
"Yeah, duh," Leon replied. "Why else would he kidnap you?" He asked.
I guess that made sense.
"Was Lars stalking me?" I asked fidgeting with the hem of my shirt, scared of what his answer would be. A small part of me was hoping that Lars didn't actually stalk me, because that would be messed up to a whole new level.
Before Leon could answer, he was interrupted by Slade. "Why do you think so?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Actually, the room he gave me, it's exactly how I wanted my room to be, like my dream room, and the closet is filled with all my favorite brands and even the toothpaste in the bathroom is the one I use. It's kinda creepy, is I'm being honest," I explained, not looking up from my hands. I was starting to get nervous as I could feel things getting a bit awkward and the slight tension in the air.
"Lars didn't stalk you, it was - " Leon started to speak but was once again interrupted, this time by Noah.
"None of your business." Noah snapped making me flinch at his harsh tone. I don't know what happened to them suddenly.
"Hey, why are you talking to her like that?" Leon asked Noah, his eyebrows furrowed.
"He's right, Leo. She's just a hostage. We shouldn't be warming up to her. We've been nice to her the entire day. I can't keep the act up anymore. Plus, she can't really question us about anything. We're not supposed to answer her," Slade said, and my heart sank to my feet. I can't keep the act up anymore.
"Slade-" Leon tried again, but was again cut off by Noah.
"We don't owe her any answers."
"Exactly!" I now snapped, standing up. "You people do not owe me anything, nothing at all. What have you guys done? Nothing! Except for taking my life away from me! My family, my friends, everything that I had ever known!" My voice broke at the end and tears were forming in my eyes, and immediately I saw their faces soften. However, I was too angry. I started to run towards the door to leave the room, but Leon quickly got up and grabbed my wrist. I turned to face him and tried to free my hand but he wouldn't budge.
"Please Eva, they didn't mean it like that," Leon said softly, trying to make me feel better.
"Just let me go," I cried and he let go of my hand reluctantly. I ran to 'my' bedroom, closing and locking the door behind me. I leaned my back against the door and cried loudly, tears flowing freely down my cheeks. Sliding my back down the door, I sat down, crying helplessly.
What did I do to deserve this?
