L.A girls (H.S)

Chapter 19- kidnapping

I walk up to Harry's cabin with my coffee still in my hands.

"Harry! Jade is here!" Liam yells from the porch.

"Jade!" Louis runs out to me and hugs me tightly.

"Louis." I laugh as he spins me around.

"Hey she's mine." Harry says in a low tone.

Louis lets go of me and sticks his tongue out at Harry.

"But I love her Harry! Can't I have her?" Louis pouts and I push him away lightly.

"But I love Harry. This would never work!" I say and I grab Harrys arm.

Harry looks so confused at us and we laugh.

"It's called acting." Louis winks and Harry sighs of relief. "You need to loosen up. Here," Louis reaches in his pocket and grabs a box of cigarettes.

"No it's okay." Harry says.

Louis looks at me and holds it out to me. I'm so tempted to take one but I would never do that to Harry.

"No thanks." I smile politely and Harry grabs my hand.

"We'll be back later." Harry tells Louis and we run to the back of the cabin, down the hill, to the trail.

We get to the waterfall ledge and we sit down on one of the large rocks.

"So did they agree to being in your little band?" He asks as he rubs circles into the back of my hand.

"Nope they declined it and told me I was crazy." I say and his jaw clenches. "Babe I'm kidding."

He rolls his eyes but smiles. "Did you come up with a band name?"

"The Branche band." I tell him and his eyes narrow.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asks.

"Branche in French means hipster."

"So you guys are the hipster band?" He asks and I nod.

"Or in the near future we're going to shorten it to Branche we don't know yet." I shrug and he smiles.

"I have a feeling you came up with the name." He teases.

I smack his arm and he laughs before wrapping his arm around my shoulders. He pulls me to his chest and kisses my temple. After a moment of silence I lean up and kiss his chin.

"Can I ask you something?" He asks as he plays with my hair.

"Mhm." I hum.

He takes a deep breath. "Will you officially be my girlfriend? I know I told Gerritt that you we're and I know you we're surprised and-"

I cut him off by kissing him. I pull away and he bites his lip.

"Was that a yes or..."

"It was a yes." I laugh and I kiss him again.

He smiles into the kiss but my phone goes off making us jump apart. I pull it out of my back pocket and look at the screen to see its my mom.

"I have to take this." I say. Harry watches me as I answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey baby girl. I saw your text about your old equipment for your guitar and I'm packing it up right now." she tells me.

"Okay and don't forget to send me my cameras too." I remind her.

"Sure thing. Oh and about the car you asked about, your dad put more money in your bank account for you to get one. What type of car did you want?"

"Actually I want a teal voltswagon so we can transport our band equipment." I tell her as Harry gets up.

I give him a questioning look but he puts up a finger and walks away. Okay then.

"Okay I guess that's okay." she sighs.

"Not satisfied? Can I have a bus then?" I joke.

"Sure! I saw a thing on pintrest of a guy who turned his bus into his home and he travels america with his friends every summer." she tells me and I laugh.

"I was kidding."

"I wasn't."

I sigh. "I'm getting the voltswagon no matter what you say."

"Okay sweetie." she says.

"Are you mad?" I ask as I stand up.

"No not at all." she says as I walk to the trail.

I start walking down the path and I think of what to say next.

"Okay... anyways so how's dad?"

"He's still in Florida but he's coming back in two days." she tells me.

"You sound a little worried." I point out as I get to the backyard of the cabin.

I stop dead in my tracks when I see him.

Garrett.

"Jade?" my mother says but I don't answer I just stare at the man in front of me.

"Hello darling." he smiles.

"Harry! Harry!" I scream and Garrett runs toward me.

I turn and run down the trail. I take all of the sharp turns and I finally get to the cliff. I have no where to run. Why would I come here?! I look around for somewhere to hide but it's to late.

Garrett steps out and points the gun at me.

"P-please don't k-kill me." I sob as I back up to the cliffs edge.

"I'm not going to kill you, I'm just going to insure that you don't get away." he tells me and that's when the gun shot rings through the air.

Pain blooms through my hip and I scream. I slip back and fall back making me gasp.

I hit the cold water and the pain worsens. I struggle with keeping above the water as The current pushes me along. I swim to the waters edge and I climb out. I gasp for air but then get up and break into a run even though the pain in my hip is unbearable.

I run through the forest like a mad man but the foot steps behind me tell me I'm about to lose this battle.
