Chapter 7: Help

'I feel dead'

I wake up in an unfamiliar place, my hands and legs tied up, my mouth taped shut, and what I think is a blindfold. "Well hello gorgeous. I missed you."

"Please let me go!" I yelled, squirming around trying to get free.

"Oh no darling I'm not even done with you yet." He snaps back.

I cry out pleads of letting me go and he slaps me for crying. He drags me out of a closet and throws me down onto a pull out couch, he then pounces on me.

He takes it from me. My courage, my choices, my life, my happiness, everything. All because he is some sick person wanting sex, not caring who he hurts.

Emersons POV

I see him running up behind her grabbing her, "REMI!" I scream as loud as I can running towards to house. When I reach the top of the steps I search around and look for her, when she's nowhere in sight I run to the front of the house and stand in the street seeing a truck speed off. "NO!" I scream, frustratedly. I search for my phone as the others approached me asking me whats wrong, "Damnit he has her!" They look at me with pure shock. "Where would he have taken her?" Lane ask, demandingly as he reaches for his keys in his pocket.

"I- I have no clue, do any of you guys have your phone? Mines down at the beach with our stuff." I ask the two, Erin reaches in her pocket handing me her phone, she's staring off into the distance ready to cry.

I dial 9-1-1, "9-1-1 what's your emergency?" The operator asks. I explain the situation and they inform me that they'll send a deputy out, I thank them and hang up. "They're sending a cop out, they said until then stay inside and try to think of things that will help us find her when they get here to question us." They both nod.

Erin suddenly gets a text from Remi, as I hand her phone back, she opens it and falls limp to the ground crying harder than I've ever seen her cry, "Erin?! What?! What is it!!" I ask repeatedly, she hands me her phone as Lane cradles her looking at me scared.

I click on the video that was sent with a text that read, 'If you want her back... you better get her before I kill her.' The video was of Remi blindfolded, laying on a pull out couch in what looked like a trailer, she was only covered in a washcloth covering her chest area. My heart sunk, I heard sirens wailing in the background.

The cops had arrived and pulled us inside for questioning, I thanked them for arriving so fast, "Ok, so tell me about this Ryan guy, why would he have any intentions of hurting Remi?" The cop asked us, and Erin replied, I was too busy staring off into the distance feeling guilty. "Emerson?" The cop asked me, "huh?" I replied.

"What is the description of the truck?" He restated his question, that I didn't hear.

"It was a white pickup truck, maybe a 2018, Ford- F250, and...there was blood on the right back side, also on the sidewalk." I answered, feeling the clear film of tears cover my eyes.

The cop stood up and shook our hands thanking us and letting us know they're going to do everything they can to find her.

Once the cop left I sat on the couch and burst into tears, Lane came over and hugged me, "It's ok bro, we'll find her I promise."

"Don't say promise...I promised Remi I wouldn't let him get to her and he did! I failed her!! God knows if she's alive or- dead." I said with strain in my voice.

I started to cry even more, thinking about how he could be hurting her. I wanted to go after her and be her knight in shining armor, but I knew I couldn't do that without getting in trouble. Who cares though honestly, I got up and grabbed my bag. "Where are you going Emmet?!" Erin and Lane asked me, sounding concerned.

"To save my girl." I stated slamming the door behind me running to my car starting it, heading towards the nearest trailer park. I spotted one trailer with a white truck parked by it, I headed towards it and jumped out banging on the door. He opened the door, "What do- awe shit! Hey Rem! Your boyfriend is here to save you!" He said yelling at Remi inside, I punched him and shoved him down on the ground. I looked over to the pull out couch to see Remi with no clothing on just the worlds smallest blanket. "Oh god Rem." I sighed running over to her taking off my hoodie giving it to her picking her up and carrying her to my car, I set her down in the passenger seat and buckled her in, running to my side hurrying to get in before an angry Ryan got to the car before I did. I got in, locked the doors, and flipped him off. He banged on the windows and I sped off.

We arrived home and I went over to her, she was curled up in my hoodie trying to hide her bruised and naked body, I picked her up and carried her to the front door where I knocked on it with my foot to let the others know I was back. They ran to the door and opened it, once they did they stared at Remi in disbelief of how hurt she was. Erin guided me in quickly locking the doors, ushering me upstairs where Erin handed her a pair of underwear and shorts.

"Here, take these!" She told her, Remi still had tears in her eyes but nodded as a way of saying thanks. I carried her over to Erin's bed, "You guys stay in here, me and Erin will sleep in the guest bedroom." Lane stated, getting Erin to nod in agreement, I nodded with tears now forming in my eyes. I layed down and cradled Remi, gently holding her sore body close to mine.

~2 AM~

I wake up to Remi sitting up crying, "Hey what's wrong beautiful??" I ask her.

She wipes her tears and starts, "I had no choice...I just layed there...numb I couldn't move I swear I tried but I couldn't. I'm so sorry Emerson!" She said sobbing more. I held her tighter to my chest, "it's not your fault I promise...why don't I run you a bath?" I asked her standing up and turning on the warm water.

After 15 minutes of the bath filling up I picked her up gently carrying her to the bath, helping her get un- dressed without looking. I helped her to the bath and told her she'd be ok, I started to walk away, "Emmett please stay...or better yet- join me...?" She said softly, I was still wearing my swimming shorts so I just took my shirt off, sitting behind her rubbing her arm comforting her.

"I love you so much Emerson, you don't even know." She told me.

"I love you more Remi, and you don't even know." I responded kissing the top of her head.  

We spent the rest of the night cuddling watching greys anatomy together...
