For Her Undamaged (GirlxGirl)

72. What Now

_________________

Bailey's POV:

"I don't think I could do a big school maybe a smaller one." I hand over a brochure to Carmen while she flips through the others, I have a lot of college pamphlets, brochures, magazines, and flyers all over my bed. I got into Notre Dame, which isn't surprising because I know my chances were good.

"I think you shouldn't go to college and just travel the world with me and scam men for money." Carmen tosses the brochure onto the bed and rolls over, "I wish but I can't and college is something that I actually want to do." I say and I feel her pull me down beside her. "Have you thought about Skylar is going to think about this?" She asks and I only shrug.

"I mean how many people in the mafia go to a university that you know?" She asks, "Uh I don't know anyone in the mafia Carmen and I'm not in the mafia myself. I just happened to be with someone who is and that shouldn't stop me from going to school." I tell her but she doesn't agree, "Look you had no clue that Skylar was keeping this a secret and for good reason, because well you two were being watched which sounds creepy but then again the mafia is creepy as it is, so don't you think that they'll be watching when you go to college it's like you need to get permission for it." She says in all seriousness.

Permission, I'm not held hostage I should still be able to do what I want to do unless that isn't the case and now I'm just another thing to the mafia that needs to be kept a secret, oh this starting to turn out like my mafia books. I'm starting to not like this, I glanced at my phone tapping on the screen but still no text.

"Still no text?" Carmen lays her head on my shoulder and I nod, "Nothing yet, I know she said not to assume she's dead if she doesn't text back but that sounded a little morbid so now it's all I think about because I haven't gotten anything. Is it wrong, am I going crazy?" I ask and she scrunched her eyebrows, "Are you kidding? Absolutely not. Send one more text like something cheesy or whatever and then we'll watch all of the adaptions to pride and prejudice then if she doesn't answer after we're done then we can assume she's dead." She puts my phone in my hands and I look at her like she is crazy.

"Don't look at me like that, it's my only good idea without you freaking out so just do it, I'll go make popcorn." She gets up from my bed leaving my room and I look at Skylar's and I's messages.

Me
Hi I miss you are you getting sleep?

Skylar :)
Yes I am
We're a little far still so I got time, how are you?

Me
Not too bad I just wish you were here

Skylar :)
I wish I was there too but I gotta find my brother first I'll let you know when we've made it

Me
Okay
Have you made it yet?
I know you said not to assume anything but I'm assuming
I'm going to bed now
I've made cookies
I really thought that would work
You're probably busy

Today

Me
Just checking in again, I swear I'm not assuming but I really do hope you're safe even though I know you're not the best at that. I miss you, I'll see you soon.

I press send and I turn my phone over but then in dings and I quickly turn it over looking at the notification.

Skylar :)
Doing all good, sorry for the wait just got busy, you know beating guys up so on and so forth I'll see you later Beany.

I re-read and re-read the message and after the third read I put my phone down. "Okay so here we go, I popped three bags so this should last for our fat asses." Carmen bursts through my door with a big bowl and jumps onto my bed spilling popcorn everywhere. I smile at her reaching for my computer and I leave my phone alone.

"So did she text back or?" She asks pointing at my phone, "Yeah but I know it's not her." I whisper, "How do you know and why are you whispering?" She asks and I push my phone further away from me, "Because, she called me 'Beany' who the hell is Beany, it isn't me. I'm not Beany, I'm Beans." I tell her.

I know that isn't Skylar talking to me. I know it isn't but what am I supposed to do call this, whoever it is, out and expose them saying 'hey this isn't my girlfriend please give her back the phone.' "If it isn't Skylar then who would it be, Dean?" Carmen questions and I pull my computer open.

"I don't think so but either way it doesn't sit right with me." I tell her putting on the first adaption and she hums next to me, "It might just be a typo." Carmen says and I nod, maybe.

Meanwhile.......

Skylar's POV:

"No! No! You fucking asshat do you not know you're fucking alphabet I said the letter fucking 'S' not the fucking letter 'Y'! You asshat! Fucktard! You low-life good for nothing waste of fucking air! What the hell is wrong with you! Can you not fucking see through that big ass head of yours! Is you're eyebrows to fucking hairy that you can't see!" I feel my throat burn as I shake my entire body that's strapped down in a chair.

I glare at the two men in front of me who trapped Dean and I in a cold fucking room, "You fucking idiots!" I shout again hoping they hear me because they seem to be deaf. "Oh shut up will you!" One of them yells back at me and I stop frantically moving. "How can I shut up when you're sausage fucking sized fingers can't tap on the correct fucking tile!" I try to free myself from the restraits but fail, again.

"Give it up Skylar you're not getting through to them." I hear Dean behind me, lucky for him he doesn't have to see these two struggle while I painfully do. "You're the one who said we would be okay and news-fucking-flash we're not okay. We're in the middle of nowhere where these two asshats have a my phone who are texting my girl and there's no sign of Sage anywhere." I heavily sigh not happy with any of this.

"I swear I got this, now seriously shut up. I know Sage is here, he's just in a different part of this building." Dean whispers leaning his back and laying it on mine. "You know you have a big head too." I comment, "Yeah I know but my big head is how we're going to get out of here now just follow my lead in everything and don't say shit let me talk." He tells me.

"Fine." I huff forcing his head off mine. "Hey stop talking!" The European accent echos in the room but I stay silent. "We fixed the spelling on the text but we still have to keep the phone!" The other says and I feel my heart skip a beat. "You fucktards tell me where my brother is and leave my girlfriend alone!" I shout then I see the dark tunnel of a nuzzle pointed right between my eyes.

"We said to stop talking." The one holding the gun says lowly and it stays quiet, the gun gets pulled away from my face and I sigh bowing my head, the two men start mumbling amongst themselves and I tap my foot against the rough floor. "They better not touch Beans in any way or I swear to God I'll find a bazooka and shoot it in these two asshats faces." I mumble under my breath and I hear Dean chuckle under his.

"You know I think I might just want these guys to lay a finger on Bailey just so I can see this side of you that might just blow up the world." He takes his elbow and bumps it into mine. "You know I think I want to kill you too just for that." I try to look over my shoulder then I hear a clearing throat making me look back.

"Enough talking." The voice grunts and I rolly my eyes trying to pull against the rope, why couldn't this have been duck tape it would've been so much easier. "Okay listen to me, I need you too listen to me." Dean nudges me and I huff, "What now?" I ask I can't keep up with his lead. "We're going to scream for Sage, just keep screaming they'll knock us out and move us but I'll wake up just enough to know where Sage is." He tells me then I feel his chair and his entire self shake eratically. Well here goes nothing.
