Seven

"Rafe? Is that you?" I ask groggily as I pad out into the living room. I was alone tonight, Sarah was with John B, Kie was with her parents, JJ and Pope were out fishing, and I hadn't heard from Rafe since he went to Barry's. I saw something move through the living room, on the opposite side of the couch. "Rafe?" I called again and turned on the lights. "I'm not Rafe." Ward's voice rang, and then everything went black.

Rafe's POV

I pulled back up to Skye's house with a small bouquet of wildflowers. I walked up to the porch and froze when I saw the door was wide open. "Skye?!" I yelled and ran through the house. I ran out the back door and outside. "Skye!" I yelled, and ran my fingers through my hair. I ran back to the house, looking everywhere for something telling me where she is. I searched through all of her journals, notebooks, everything in her room. "Fuck! Skye where are you.." I sighed, and leant over the counter. "I can't lose you.." I cried. A flash of white caught the corner of my eye on the counter, and I glanced over at it, my eyes widening as I read the note.

'Don't steal from me.'

I shoved the note in my pocket, and got back on my bike, going back to Barry's.

"Country Club! Shit, you already back for more? I thought you were cutting back cause of your bitch?" Barry chuckled. "She's not a bitch. And I need a piece." I told him. "Country club killin' now huh? He need a piece!" Barry laughed. "Don't fucking play with me bro." I slammed my hand down on the table. "Gah dang, what's goin' on?" Barry questioned. "My dad has Skye." I said quickly, standing up. "Shit bro, hang on." Barry went to a closet and grabbed a handgun. "You need to go about this like a freaking soldier bro. You need to think before you do any crazy shit, aight?" Barry warned. "Yeah dude, whatever." I sighed, taking the gun and going to my father's house.

I threw my bike on the ground and stormed to the house, kicking the front door in. "WARD! I KNOW YOU HAVE HER!" I yelled, and Rose came into the living room. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "Where is he?!" I screamed. "Where is who?" She asked nonchalantly. I charged at Rose, making her drop the glass of wine she was holding. "What the fuck?!" "Where did Ward take her?!" I yelled, inches from her face. "I don't have to tell you shit." She smiled. I pulled the gun out from behind me, pointing at her. "Where did Ward take her?" I said, eerily calm. Rose broke. "He took her to the Bahamas, that's all I know." She cried. "Rafe?" Wheezie said softly from the staircase. "Shit Wheezie-" I called after her, but she was already up the stairs. "I don't have time for this." I sighed, and went outside. This time, I took my car, and sped to the ferry.

"Come on dude, you have to let me through." I begged the guy at the gate. "This is a ticket only ferry. No ticket, no ride." The guy said. "Look, i'll give you a hundred bucks, if you let me through that gate." I pleaded, pulling the bill out of my wallet. The guy sighed and nodded after a second, and took the money out of my hand before opening the gate. "Thank you so much." I told him before driving onto the ferry.
