Are You Alright?

 I’m now walking down the hallway and back into the store. The maid I saw before was pacing back and forth now as if she were worried about something. “Excuse me. Miss?” I raised my hand to get her attention. She looked my way and her face was lit bright automatically. She ran to me and said “Oh look at you! You look so pretty.” She screamed in glee. “Oh thank you. It is pretty isn’t it?” I said. “Hey do you know where a phone I can use is?” “Oh here,” She took out a phone from her pocket. “It’s mine, but I’m not supposed to have it on the job so shh!” She was smiling playfully and had her finger to her lip as if quieting me.

 “Oh great! Thanks!” I thanked her. I grasped the phone from her and flipped it open. Gosh this is an old phone. I dial in my best friend’s number and press the call button. I put the phone to my ear and wait. “Hello? This here is Verande.” I smiled almost wanting to cry. “Hey. It’s me.” I said.

 “Oh my god!  Charles!! Where are you? What’s happened to you?” She was babbling and spitting out questions until she gasped and whispered “Did they rape you?” “Verande! No, they didn’t.” I said laughing. “Charles this is no laughing matter.” She sounded like she was pouting and I felt bad. “I’m sorry. I know it’s not. But hey guess what?”

 “Ha-ha what?” she asked.

 “I am surrounded by totally hot guys.” I said smirking. “Ooo girl you gotta give me the dirt... hey does that mean your kidnapper is hot?” she asked. I thought for a while and said “Yeah he is. His name is Sage. Err, actually it’s Alexander Sage, but he’s letting me call him Sage.” “Ooo first name bases hmm?” she laughed. “Ah quit the crap,” I laughed. “But hey do you think you could pick me up?”

 “You bet your ass I can!” Verande yelled through the phone. “Thanks. It’s... Hold on. I don’t even know where I am.” I turned to face the maid and asked where we were. “We are at 13th LeGrows Street, Miss Charlotte.” “Ok, hey. You still there?” I asked. “Yeah sugar-cube,” “Ok, the street I’m on is 13th LeGrows.” I replied. “Oh! I know where that is! I go shopping on that street all the time.” She yells. “Well I’ll get ready and be there in 20 may be quicker, ‘Kay?”

 “Yeah. Ok. Hey can you bring me a change of clothes while you’re at it?” I ask.

 “Sure! Okay well see you in a bit.” She yelled happily.

 I closed the phone and smiled at it. “Miss, are you alright?” the maid asked. “What? Yeah I’m okay. Why?” I asked. “Oh, uh, well it’s just that your crying so assumed something was wrong.” She said, twiddling her hands together. I touched my face and felt a stream of tears falling. “Oh.” I looked at her and smiled. “I’m fine. Its... it’s just that I missed my friend and I hadn’t talked to her in forever.” The maid looked at me and nodded her head.

 I looked at the door that leaded outside and looked back at the maid. There were so many people outside the shop that had no idea that there was someone missing in here. I sighed and walked towards it. Once I got to the window I placed my hand on it. I shivered. The window was as cold as ice.  I lifted my hand off it and when I did the mark of my hand was left there. I looked back one more time but this time the maid wasn’t there anymore. I smiled. This is my chance, I thought. I grab the handle to the door and pulled on it. Freezing air blew in my face and I let out a yelp. I walked outside whiling pulling on my sweater.

 Beep. Beep. Beep. “What?” I turned and saw that there was a security warning about someone stealing. Crap! My dress. I then ran to the left and saw an alley and slid into it. I was breathing hard because it was more difficult to run in this dress. Hoooonk! Honk! I looked to my right and saw that it was Verande in her red little Buggy. I jog to her and open the door. “Hey girl, wanna ride?” she said, while winking. “Ha-ha hell yeah I would love a ride, but we have to hurry.” I said, while entering the car. She looked at me before leaving and says “That dress looks sexy on you.”

 “Well thank you mam.” I smiled and then we both busted out into a bunch of giggles. “Oh, Charlotte I’ve missed you.”  Verande said to me. “I thought they were gonna take you away from me forever.” She looked at me with sad eyes. I was going to tell her something until she started the engine and began driving. “So, I called your mom. Told her you called me saying you were alright.” She said. “Really?” I asked. She nodded her head and replied with “Yeah, she asked if you were with some guy. I think she said… Oh, yeah! Abraham White. I wonder why she would ask that.” I sat there. “I’ll tell you what she’s talking about when we get to your house.” She looked at me and shrugged. We sat in a horrible silence until I heard yelling. I looked into the mirror and saw all three guys trying to chase the car.

 “Oh my gosh! Verande! Press the gas now!” I yelled. “Wha? Why?” she asked. She saw I was looking into the rear view mirror and she looked. “Whoa. Those are some hot guys.” She was smiling. “Charlotte! Where in the hell are you going?” Sage was yelling but sounded out of breath from running. “Yeah! Charlotte you can’t control yourself! You won’t be able to control your tempers from now on! Come back!” Blake agreed. “Charlotte! Our rehearsal Din----!” Abraham was screaming but by then we already were long gone.
