Chapter 25

It the week of exams and everyone has been busy. Nothing has changed ever since my date with Adrian. Mason still avoids me, like he makes sure we don't cross paths. Melody wants nothing to do with me. Adrian tried talking to me but I keep brushing him off.

I can't still get over the fact that he loves me. I really don't see him that way and I don't know how to make him understand.

Last night I had plan to corner Mason and explain things to him and that's why I'm hiding in an empty class on the route to the library which he has been going to considering we are writing exams. I have no more papers to so I wait.

Five minutes later before I saw his grey hair from the door and I quickly open the door and drag him in with all my strength, shutting it and locking it. I turn to face him and I see the anger in his eyes. I visibly glup,

Here goes nothing.

"I know you are currently mad at me, don't want to see me let alone talk to me but I need to explain myself. I have no justification for the fact that you saw us kissing, neither I'm I going to deny what you saw but before you're quick to judge me, hear me out." I wait for his response but nothing. He just gave me a bored look and I took it as my cue to continue.

"Yes Adrian did ask me on a date and I wanted to tell him no but he insisted and I eventually said yes to him because somehow I felt like I owed it to him you know." I sigh, "Oh God! I wasn't expecting him to kiss me. It just happened and I didn't push him away so I'm also to blame. All these may not be helping my case but I want you to know that I didn't intend to make you feel like I played with your feeling. I'd never intentionally hurt you. You've done a lot for me and I'm glad I met you and also to make you understand that I like you, like a lot. I'm really sorry I hurt you and you mean a lot to me. Please forgive and start talking to me again or I'll go crazy from missing you." I finish.

All the while I was explaining, I looked everywhere but his eyes and when I did, he was still sprouting his bored expression. He then stood up straight and came forward, so close to me that his scent engulfs me. We maintained eye contact for a few seconds till he unlocked the door and left. I was left agape.

The nerve of this guy. I pour my heart to him and he just up and left without saying a word. Then again I can't really blame him. I'd be pissed if I were in his shoes.

I sigh.

I'll just have to try again.

I now eat lunch and dinner alone in the dinning hall but today, today I just went to my spot outside with a bag of chips and a bottle of water. Yes this is my dinner.

It was so quiet because most students were in the dinning hall but I was enjoying it. The cool breeze sending a calming sensation through my body until a cloth was placed over my nose and I unconsciously breath in and succumb to darkness.

I woke up and found my self in a dark room on a bed. My hands bound by handcuffs. I try to struggle but it's no use. The door creaks open and realisation dawn in me,

"Dad." I whisper.

"Welcome my Angel."

Mason's POV

Next day at lunch.

Today Adrian was sitting with us cause Ash thought it would be best to resolve our differences but I made no attempt to speak to him.

Yesterday when Kayla dragged me into the classroom, I was mad and hurt to see her but then she started rambling all in the name of explaining to me what had happened. At some point, it got really cute and I wanted to just kiss her but one part of me thought against it. After her explanation, I wasn't so mad anymore I didn't want her to know that yet. Walking away from her was hard.

"Hey guys." Melody greets everyone. Beverly behind her. She kisses Ashton on the lips and I quickly avert my eyes. I may be okay with her dating him. But I'm not going to get used to that.

"Oh have any of you seen kayla?"

"Why'd ask. I thought you weren't speaking." Ashton asks.

"It not that. It's just she wasn't in any of her classes today and the teachers asked. We all came to a conclusion that she might be sick so I went to the clinic to check and I was told she wasn't there. I then went to her room to check if she was there but it's empty and her spot at the tree is too." Melody explains.

My ears perked up at that.

"What do you mean she's no where to be found?" I finally ask.

"Exactly what I mean Mason. Isn't it strange she just disappeared?"

I and Adrian shared a knowing look.

"Maybe she didn't want to face Mason and left or she's hiding somewhere on campus." Brad said as he continued his lunch.

"Come to think of it, I saw a bottle water and a bag of chips scattered at her tree spot."

"Probably a student left it." Ash explains.

She gave an unconvinced look but dropped the subject.

I feel like my heart would jump out of my chest in anxiety. I pretty sure her father has her and I wasn't there to save her.

I stood up and excused myself.
I have a lot of planning to do before I go after her father.

Adrian's pov

After what Melody had said at lunch, I knew it had happened. What we were trying to prevent had happened. But luckily, I had put a tracking device on her phone without her knowing.

I quickly open my laptop and look for the tracker. I saw the red dot and I copied down the address. I rummage through my things and took out the necessities. I'd have to go home and get my car before I go get her.

Opening the door and running through the halls one thought cross my mind,

I'm coming,
My love.

Dun dun dun!!!!

Guess who updated, it's your favorite author and person...me!!!

Well I have been stalling this chapter because I had something to share..

My second book on Wattpad; in the city of love, go a chance to be published by an agency. Honestly it the best news I've had this year and I'm so happy. I sign a non exclusive  contract because I still wanted to keep the book on this platform, and have rights to it.

I am so privileged to have this opportunity, because most authors who I have encountered that have such opportunities,have gone a great distance in their writing career before they get such opportunity.

I'll still update the book, but it won't be as frequent and as such, I'll start a new book once this is done.

I just want to say a big thank you to all my readers, no matter the number. You're all a blessing and I hope you stick with me through it all.
