You [l.h]

Chapter 18 : Plan

Fuck all these shitheads.

My hands were tied in a rope and they took my phone with them.
And yes, I was kidnapped.

"Give me the fucking phone you assholes." I spoke.

"What did you just call us? My, my, how brave you are." The blonde haired said.
If they think I was afraid of them then they're wrong.

"What will you do? You can't even do anything just shut up." This time, the black haired spoke.

Well, let's just call them Blondie and Blacky.

"What you guys even want from me? I'm just a teenager I have nothing!"

Blondie walked towards me. "I just called your boy. Who's his name again? Lucas? Ah, I don't care. I told him to bring money here and not to call the police. And then you can go."
Really? They called Luke?

Will Luke call the police? Please don't tell me he did what those buttheads told him.

"He isn't an idiot. He knows what to do."

He smirked, "He does. And that's why he's not calling the cops."

Fuck. Why are they even kidnapping me? It's really weird how they just saw a random girl in the street and kidnapped her without any reason. They might know who I am and where I'm from. But, I'm not rich. I really have nothing. Then what are they actually looking for?

Luke's POV

They don't want money. They just want me to meet them. To talk about something.

And Aaron. That guy. What does he want?

Aaron is Clara's brother. I think this whole thing has something to do with Clara.

I walked to the place he wanted me to come. An old building, with nothing in it. We'll meet in the back of it. Something like a yard or whatever it is.

I walked around the building until a voice stopped me. "There you are." That's Aaron's voice. He was alone. But yeah his friend is probably keeping Lily inside.

"What do you want, Aaron?"

He laughed bitterly. "Chill. We haven't met in so long and that's what I got?"

He is so unserious.

"Come on. I know you're up to something. Just say it, what do you want?" He shrugged his shoulders.

"It's Clara, isn't it?"

He didn't answer. Well then yes, it's about Clara. But why did he suddenly become silent?

"Why don't you say anything?"

For what feels like ages, he finally spoke, "He still loves you."

"..."

"She told me that you like a girl named Lily. She's been trying to get you back but you seem to hate her. She said, 'He used to love me so bad but I was such an idiot for letting him go. I wasn't thinking. I hope I could go back in time and stay by his side.' Blah blah. I've never seen her like this before, Luke. Please, come back to her. Tell her that you guys can give it a try."

He was so genuine. I could tell. He truly loves his sister. But..

"So you use Lily just to make me come back to Clara?" The thought of it made me pissed somehow.

"This is the only way to make you come back. I know it's a crazy plan. But I know you wouldn't want to meet me if I asked you."

"Let me say it. You'll let Lily go in exchange of me coming back to your sister?" He nodded.

"This is crazy. You're sick. I don't want to. I'll never do that. I'll find a way to get Lily out of this place." I was about to walk when I heard him called my name. With a crack on his voice.

"Please.. she's sick. She hasn't been eating since yesterday. She came to pay a visit for you today but all she saw was you and Lily together. All she does is cry. Now she's in the hospital. The doctor said she needs some rest and some healthy food to make her feel better soon. She really regrets leaving you. Please, Luke. Even just a lie. Please love her even if it's just a lie. Tell her you want to start it all over again.. I don't like seeing her like this. It's been a day but she looks like a mess."

Shit.
I don't like seeing people cry.
My weakness.

Also, Lily's trapped. How do I handle this? Lord!

"I'll give you two days. You can take Lily out and I'll give you two days. I'll come to ask your final decision. But Luke, I'm begging you. I've swallowed my pride just to say all of this. Please, let my sister love you the way she did back then." He walked away, leaving me with my own thoughts.

Dilemma hit me.

-------------

I entered a small room. And there Lily is.

"Luke?" She asked, making sure if it's really me.

"Thank God you're okay."

I saw her let out a sigh in relief. "They went already?" I nodded.

"Did they really ask for money? They don't even know me. And did you give the money? And you're okay, right? They didn't do anything to you, did they? And-"

"Ssshh.." I cut her off. "Don't talk too much. I'm fine, you're fine. It's all what matters now. Come on. We have to go from this cursed place."

"I'm sorry if I got you in trouble. I really have no idea how they found me." You shouldn't be sorry, Lily.

"Here's your phone." I handed her her phone.

"I.. thank you so much, Luke. I don't know what'll happen if you're not here."

"It was nothing, Lily."

"Don't say it was nothing. You helped me. I made you meet those idiots. It's just good that you're okay." Oh my God. She didn't even have to anything to make me like her. Those eyes, those lips, the smile they have, the words she says..

I just realized my feelings towards her.

Now I really have to let her go, huh?
