Mentally Hopeful • Ethan Cutkosky

He stopped and stared at me.
"What?", I said.
"Your so beautiful", he said.
I hugged him and we started walking down the street.
Then a hand came over my mouth and took me away from Ethan.
"JOCELYN!!", He screamed.
He started running towards the man but he was too late. I was put in the back of the trunk.
"NO!!", He screamed.
I felt the car moving and i heard people talking.
"Aye, this is a risky move", a young boy said.
I recognized that voice.
"Yeah, where we gonna put her?!", A girl said.
I recognized that voice too.
"You know, once we let her go she will run to the cops", the girl said.
Wait, it was Emma.
Emma kidnapped me, but i can't remember who the other guy was.
I pulled out my phone and texted Ethan
Me: babe, help i'm in the back of a trunk and it's moving. there's 3 people and one of them is emma
Ethan: omg wtf. okay i'm on my way to look for you. don't worry, i'm not alone
I closed my phone and i felt the car jerk to a stop.
They were getting out and walking to the trunk.
They opened it and i saw 3 faces.
They grabbed me and Emma put her mouth over me
"Shh, you'll wake the neighbors up", she whispered.
I was put in a chair in an abandoned warehouse.
They took the tape off of my mouth.
"What do you want from me?", I said.
"Oh we don't want you, we want Ethan", the boy said
"Michael?" i said.
Michael was Emma's older brother.
"Why do you guys want Ethan?", I said.
The older man was Emma's cousin, he's 23.
"Well, if i can't have him then nobody can", Emma said.
"Why are you so fucking thirsty for him?", I said, "Emma you were my best friend, why would you do this to me?".
"Do you think i want to?!", She said.
"Emma, keep your mouth shut!!", Luke said.
Luke was her cousin i have only met him once and he seemed pretty nice, until now.
"Is he forcing you guys to do this?", I said.
We heard police sirens from outside the warehouse
"Fuck", Luke said.
"Run!!", Michael said.
They all ran and the police came in.
"Jocelyn Ramirez, are you okay?", The police officer said.
"No! That is a stupid question.", i said.
They untied me from a chair and they took me outside
I saw Ethan and ran up to him
"Omg babe are you okay?" He said.
"Yeah i guess, but they slapped me a couple times", i said.
"Who was it? Only emma?", He said
"It was Emma, her brother Michael, and her cousin Luke", i said.
"Ms.Ramirez, you'll have to come down to the station for your questioning", the officer said.
They took me and Ethan inside the car and we were rushed to the police station.
We were put in separate rooms.
"So, would you like to tell me what happened?", Sheila the police officer said
"Well, i was walking with Ethan when this man came and took me in the back of a car", i said.
"Can you identify the car?", she said.
"Umm.. it was a black chevy. i think", i said.
"Do you remember the license plate number?", She said.
"I only remember most of it... 8BH5, that's all i could remember", i said.
"When you were in the trunk, were the people talking?", She said.
"Yeah", i said.
"What did they say?", She said.
"I'm not gonna rat them out", i said.
"Don't think of it as ratting someone out, think of it as protecting yourself from further harm", she said.
I sighed "i knew them", i said.
"Who were they?", she said.
"Emma,Luke, and Michael", i said.
"Okay thank you", she said and walked out the door.
I wonder what they told Ethan.
I walked out the door and i saw Ethan. I ran up to him and hugged him so hard
"I'm sorry this happened",he said.
"It's fine, it's not your fault", i said while still hugging him
"Yes it is, if i would've taken care of you this would have never happened", he said while letting go of me.
He stormed out of the station and went straight to his house
