Our little secret // lesbian story (intersex x girl)

20.

Josephine's POV

I stepped in the house and wanted to call for Angelica, telling her I'm home but something..was off.

I dropped the bags from my hands and ran upstairs. I slammed my bedroom door open and didn't find her so I ran downstairs. I looked for her everywhere but she wasn't here.

Then I heard a phone ringing.

It wasn't my phone or Angelica's phone. I specifically said we can't own phones for now because they're easy to track.

I went to the living room and saw a phone placed on the coffee table. My heart was racing and I wanted to cry, I wanted to kill someone. The person who took my Angelica.

I sat down on the couch and took the phone, answering it and putting it up to my ear not saying a word.

I heard sobs "please" I heard her voice. I put my hand over my mouth as tears came down my cheeks "you heard that Jo.." I heard a masculine voice say. I expected it to be my dad but it wasn't.

It was someone else that I knew very well. A person that I thought was done obsessing over me.

"If you hurt her I will fucking end you Thomas and you know I don't joke about that shit. I'm gonna fucking hunt you down and kill you-" he cut me off and laughed "calm down Jo..wow she really got you wrapped around her finger huh?"

I felt anger and fear fill me. I was scared that I was going to lose Angel and I was angry at the thought of him hurting her.

"We'll have a meet up next to the lake we always we used to go to. I'll bring Angelica" I stood up and walked around in frustration "in exchange of what?" I asked him.

"I let her go and you come with me"

So there is no winning in this situation.

But I'm going to win. This time I'm going to actually kill him.

Angelica's POV

"She doesn't care about you after all" the guy said as we went back to wherever they had me.

I was in a van with the guy called 'Thomas' and a few more guys like guards and shit like that.

Tears were coming down my face and I was breathing heavily as my heart beat got faster. I was so scared because Josephine didn't show up to get me.

"Do you love her?" He asked. I didn't know how I was supposed to answer since he had my mouth covered and I also didn't know the answer.

He leaned towards me and took the tape off my mouth "fuck you" I said to him and I immediately regretted it. 

I felt his hand harshly slap my face and like I said, I'm not good with pain but I was trying to not just break down in tears in front of them.

"Still didn't answer me" I didn't look at him, I had tears in my eyes and I was trying not to cry. He held my chin roughly and made me look at him "do you love her?"

I do. I always have. It was always love.

"Why do you have a problem answering me huh? If i was asked if I loved Josephine or not, I would answer in a blink of a time saying how much I fucking love her" I didn't know he was her ex. Or like in love with her.

I laughed at his face "you're pathetic. She doesn't even think of you, she doesn't care about you" why was I doing this? I have absolutely no idea.

But Josephine always told me that showing weakness is the worst thing to an enemy. And basically everything is my weakness so I'm just going to act like my body isn't shaking from fear.

One of the guys held his arm and pulled him back "we'll take care of her when we get back, don't do anything stupid" he said to Thomas.

They took me to a room with my hands behind my back, being tied together as they walked me towards a big glass box filled with water.

"Okay no what is happening?" I said panicking. One of them held me still in front of the box and the others one put his hand on the back of my head, pushing it hardly into the water.

I tried fighting back but it got harder to breathe since my head is literally under water and fighting back is making me lose more oxygen but it was just a reflex.

After a few second he pulled my head out and I took a sharp breathe "please stop-" he did it again and I was just praying that Josephine would do something and not leave me here.

This is too much.

They did it a couple of times then let me go, leaving the room.

I fell down on my knees and curled up in a ball. They untied me and locked the door on me.

I was sobbing. I was so scared and everything in my body hurts. I just want Josephine to come and hold me, tell me everything is going to be okay.

I want to be able to defend myself since I've been training with Josephine but I'm not as strong as whoever put me here and I don't think I'll be able to fight while being this scared.

After an hour or two maybe. I was trembling from how cold I was. My shirt was wet, my pants, my hair. I was freezing.

I was still curled up in a ball as I rubbed up and down my own arms trying to warm myself up.

I heard the door open and I didn't even dare to look towards it. I was scared. I just closed my eyes and prepared to whatever is coming next.

Then I felt a soft hand being placed on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and looked at the person to see Josephine. I sat up immediately and hugged her tightly as I started crying "it's okay baby, I'm gonna get you out of here" she whispered in my ear.

She suddenly pulled back and I looked at her, confused on what she's trying to hear.

She laid down on her stomach and put her ear on the ground, trying to hear something. She stood up immediately and stood behind the door, putting her finger up to her lips telling me to not say anything.

The door opened and I sniffed, resting back against the wall seeing one of the guys walk in.

He walked in and the door closed behind him. He brought me a water bottle and threw it in front of me. Man almost drowned me and still wants me to drink water.

Josephine stood behind him "close your eyes" she said to me making the guy turn around to look at her. I closed my eyes like she said and just heard a muffled groan from the guy.

I didn't open my eyes yet, I was scared that I'm going to see a dead person in front of me.

I felt Josephine place both of her hands on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and looked at her, she had a bit of blood on her face and clothes.

"Don't look at him okay?" She said and I nodded my head, looking into her eyes as she held eye contact with me.

"Okay baby..focus a little" I gulped and nodded my head "first take this.." she took her shirt off and helped me take mine off. I put her shirt over my body and she rubbed up and down my arms.

"..you see that window" she pointed at the small window that was high in the room. I couldn't reach it, if I thought I could before she came here I would've tried but it's too far up.

"I'm gonna carry you, you're gonna take this.." she gave me a knife after cleaning the blood off it "..break the glass with the back of the knife and leave, don't look behind but you have to jump out immediately because someone is gonna come in after hearing the glass break"

"What about you?" I asked her. She smiled and pecked my lips "I'll be okay, you're more important"

She stood up and helped me stand up. I accidentally looked behind her to see the guy laying in the corner of the room dead, blooding still coming out of the place she stabbed. I looked at her again and she cupped my face "it's okay..it's okay, forget about him and just think about yourself. You have to leave now, we don't have time"

I nodded and she placed her forehead on mine "I love you Angel"
