FOUL PLAY (book one)

CHAPTER FOUR

Allison.
it's been months since I was kidnapped, I lost track of time but I know it's been a long time. it's been terrible. I'm not only a codeine addict but a cocaine addict too. they took me just before I got home. it was the same guys who had raped Ruth and boy was i scared, still am. the first few weeks I prayed and hoped my family would come find me but then I gave up hope. This place was so bad, you were either forced to sell drugs or be an escort to rich needy guys. I had lost weight and they had cut my hair to make me look different. I hated this place but I did as they asked  and hoped one day I would escape or someone would find me.

Ruth:
six months. six whole months have flown by and I was knocked out? my mom was happy to see me with my eyes open, apparently I had been brain dead and my mom chose to keep me on life support.  my older sister told me everything that had happened as I was in a  coma.  Allison had sent a message to her parents saying she is ohk and had run away because she couldn't take it anymore. the pressure was too much and she needed some time to cool off. she also said I had helped her escape! and that had caused clashes with her family and mine. they wanted to sue us for the trauma I put them through and the police had been looking for me to get my statement. saying I had lied and claimed to know nothing. why was everything calling apart? is it because I chose to be a transgender?  did God to like it? everything fell apart the day I decided to change my gender. and it's still falling apart. at this stage in my phase I looked so female I was shocked too.

back to the present, I had a psychologist now. she was so nice and helped me through a lot of things. I had missed out on so much in school they asked whether I wanted to finish the year or just repeat. I chose to repeat the grade. there was no way I would pass the year so why bother? I was slowly getting off the drugs and my bulima was manageable now. which was nice, I still wasn't eating full meals but at least i wasn't vomiting it out either. everything was going so well for a while I was being home schooled as I waited to repeat the year. and that's when I got the phone call. Allison called me "Ruth. I was kidnapped. tell the police. they holding me hostage..." she proceeded to tell me the place she was at and abruptly cut the call.
i waisted no time going to the police and giving them this information. the officer I spoke to said they would look into it so I went home hoping they would find her.

i called the police station the next day for a follow up but they just told me they were working on it. suspicious. but it just put it to the back of my head and continued with my life. as the library i met this good looking guy. he was tall and well built. he approached me as I was looking for a book in the anime section. he came up to me and for some reason I felt like I knew him, or I've seen him somewhere before. but I pushed the feeling aside as he came to me and spoke. "I'm looking for a specific anime book, do you perhaps know where I can look for it?" "don't work here, sorry" "oh my bad. are you always here?" "not really. anyway nice meeting you." and I left. I just couldn't shake the feeling that I knew him. from where? I got home and found a police officer talking to my mom "afternoon Ruth. I'm officer Tom. I just wanted to get more information about the call which you received" at least they were making an effort to find Allison, if she was even missing. "uhm yeah..." and I explained to him what I told the previous officer. something wasn't adding up, but maybe I'm just being paranoid. the officer left and I went to my room, before stepping foot in my room my eldest brother mistakenly bumped into me and i cut my arm against the door frame "yo! watch where you going, woman down" and he laughed "mistake sorry. did they find your girlfriend yet?" "Allison? nope doubt they will hey apparently she called from a landline and that can't be traced. I hope she's ohk" my brother nodded in sympathy and went into his room. I laid in my bed wondering where i knew this guy from
but couldn't place my finger on it. then I hearedsmall stones being thrown against my window. who in their right mind thinks we in a romantic 90's movie?! throwing stones is not cute! it should not even be legal. I reluctantly climbed out of bed and made my way to the window. it was Jace. we haven't spoke since forever, what could he possibly want? "what?" "Ray, i mean Ruth I need your help" "and you never heard of a door? this is not the stone ages! get to the damn front door" who wakes someone up at midnight?  this better be good. I made my way downstairs and unlocked the door. "what do you need? and it better be urgent and important." "I need a partner, there's an event coming up in town and I need someone to accompany me" this boy is joking. he is pulling a prank on me. "you not being serious. have you heard of phones? better yet do you know we have social media now? screw that don't you know how to make calls? boy you playing you literally could've messaged me." "also I owe you an apology. I'm sorry I ditched you. we were supposed to be friends till death and all that but I had no choice, I wanted to be cool too. I was tired of being a nobody, as if I'm see through." "boy your sob story doesn't phase me. just send me the details and don't you ever throw stones at my window at midnight! some of us do something called sleep"
