Two is better than one.

Chapter 18

Michael

"What?" Calum asked looking at me confused. "Emily haves a boyfriend?" I asked again. "What makes you think she haves a boyfriend?"
"That." I said pointing at Emily and that guy. "I think that's Chris." Ash said. "Who's Chris?"
"He's a youtuber." Cal said.
"That doesn't explain anything to me."
"They're like best friends or something."
"So they're not together."
"I don't know. I mean mabey. He's a good looking guy ya know."
"Calum. Can you tell me who's he, so I would understand?"
"Okay. He's her new best friend I guess."
"I tough Luke was."
"Luke is more like a brother to her, to be completely honest." Ash said. Wow. Things have changed a lot. I looked back once again and saw Em skating our way. "What's up guys?" She asked cheerfully. "Heeey!" Calum said and give her high five.
"Hi!" Ash said and Em smiled at him.
"Hey!" I said and she looked away. That hurted.

"where's Luke? I thought he was with you." Cal asked.
"Yeah.. and then we went to Starbucks and played the game... and he may or may not went on a date with this girl named Sara." Emily said.
"What game?" I asked being confused.
"Basically when we go to Starbucks with Em, we play a game. She points at one random person, and we tell what we think about the person. That's it." Ash explained.
"Oh. Sounds fun." I said.
"It is." Cal added.
Emily's phone started ringing and she picked it up.
"Yeah?.... oh. OK. I'll be there in 10. Yeah.. bye." She said and putted her phone back in her pocket.

"OK guys. I have to go. Bye!" She said and started to skate away. I don't know why but I felt that there's something wrong with this. "Emily wait." I said and she stopped. "What?" "Where are you going?" I asked and she looked at me annoyed. "To meet my friend." She said. It still felt wrong. "Em please forgive me."

"Why would I? You treated me like a shit. Not like a best friend or even a friend Michael. You know how much it hurts?"
"I'm so sorry Emily. Just please forgive me. I won't do that ever again. I'll do everything for you. I promise."
"Those two words don't mean anything if they're not truly said and proved."
"I'll prove that to you!"
"Really?"
"Please. Just give me a chance. Em. Please."
"Ugh. Okay. But only if you'll really prove that." She said and I felt happy that I have a chance to make it up to her.
"Shit. I'm late. I have to go. Bye." She said and went away. After all I was happy that Em kinda forgave me, but something still felt wrong about meeting this 'friend'.

Me and boys went home. We were playing video games for hours when Luke came home. "Hey!" Calum said too Luke who was smiling like a sunshine. "Hiiiiiii!" He said back still smiling. "How was your date?"
"What date?"
"We know Luke. With that Sara girl?"
"I can't even tell you how awesome it was."
"Tell us more!"
"She's like so pretty. Her eyes are really beautiful. She haves awesome personality. She's really cute. Oh she's a fan of ours and the best part is SHE LOVES PENGUINS AND SHE DOESN'T THINK IT'S WEIRD TO LOVE THEM!" Luke literally shouted the last part of the sentence. That girl must be really cute. "That's awesome." Cal said.
"At least one of us finally found someone." Ash mumbled. "Wanna come play video games?" I asked and Luke just looked at me. "We forgave him." Ash said and Luke looked at Ash and then back at me. "I'll go in shower and then maybe come play." He said and went upstairs. "I'll haven't seen that boy so excited about a girl in ages." I said and boys just nodded. "Have to say thanks to Emily." Ash said.
"I'm taking Em to Starbucks tomorrow." Cal said and I looked at him confused. "I wanna play the game!" He said explaining. "Oh." I said and we went back on playing video games.

It felt so wrong all the time.
I can't even describe. Like I felt that something's about to happen. And that something wasn't good. "You ok Mikey?" Luke asked coming downstairs. "Huh? Oh. I don't know to be honest."
"What's up?" Calum asked worryingly. "I have this strange feeling. Like something is wrong. I just don't know what."
"I'm sure everything is OK. Maybe it's because of what happened in the morning." Ash said. "Maybe." I just mumbled. We kept playing video games until I felt hungry. I got up and went to the kitchen. It was alredy dark outside, I looked at the clock. It was midnight already and Emily wasn't home yet. "Guys? Does anyone of you knows where Em is?" I asked going back to living room. "No." They all said at the same time. That got me more worried. I took my phone and tried to call her. Nothing. "Something is wrong." I said."She's not picking up."
I tried to call her multiple times, but she still didn't pick up.

Emily

I was tired. My wrists were hurting like hell. I had a terrible headache. It was dark everywhere. I couldn't hear anything,it was really quite and like this for hours. I tried to get up from this chair but I couldn't. I dont even remember how i got here. How this all happened. I heard my phone ringing in the other side of room, but I couldn't pick it up. It ringed and then stopped. I wish someone would find me. Get me out of here. That's all I wanted. My eyes were hurting from crying. I tried to scream, but I couldn't. The tape was blocking my mouth. Someone help me.

I heard someone walking in. The person turned on the light that made my eyes hurt. "What do we have here?" A guy said. He ripped the tape off of my mouth. It hurted so much I wanted to scream. "Let me go!" I said tiers running down my cheeks. "Not yet honey." He said and before he could say anything else my phone rang again. He went to the cupboard and took my phone in he's hands. "Who's Michael?"
"A friend."
"Yeah. I belive you. Totally. We all give our friends a contact name with a heart at the end. He's your boyfriend isn't he?"
"He's not my boyfriend."
"Then he shouldn't bother us." The guy said and putted my phone down. Before he did anything my phone started to ring again.

Michael

After like 30 calls someone finally picked the phone up. "Emily? Em? Are you there? Are you ok?" I asked. "Yes. She's okay.... for now." A strange guy said. I putted my phone on speaker so guys would hear it. "Who are you and what do you want from Emily?" I asked getting angry. "I want money."
"How much?"
"80 million dollars. I will text you the address. You have 4 days to get the money and if you will call the cops, you will never again see your friend alive!"

A/N I know this is short and probably messed up... Sowwy...
