The Mission (Jenna Ortega)

chapter 14

-2 Months later-

Tates POV-

I'm at the pent house with my aunt and uncles. I've been staying here for about a month since things got really bad.

"You need to get out and go have fun, kid.  you're like stuck in here all the time." My uncle Nic says.

"Like she's supposed to be. You know how it is out there." My aunt Kim says walking into the room.

"It's been quiet the past few days. She can go out to a club or something not far from here." Nic says.

It's true. I've been stuck here for a month and haven't seen or talked to anyone really. Not even jenna. My phone got shot while I was in a shoot out and I never bothered to buy a new one. Jenna tried visiting a few times but I was never home and she stopped showing up. I don't blame her.

11PM

I can't even think or feel anything. I'm dancing with some random girl.

"Kiss me already." the girl says.

So I did. The kiss wasn't enjoyable but I was drunk so it didn't matter.

I leaned away and the girl and I continued dancing.

"Gonna go get more drinks." I said to the girl.

I walk up to the bar and get more drinks for myself. I look over and see a familiar face.

"Yo! oh shit whats up Aliyah." I say slurring with my words.

"Tate? What the hell." She says.

"What? whats your problem dude." I say.

"My problem? Jenna and I just had to watch you make out with some girl after shes been worried sick about you thinking you're dead because she hasn't heard from you in over a month!" Aliyah yells.

"Jenna and I were never together tell her to stop acting like we were." I say.

"Really so thats how you're gonna act now? She told me everything and especially about the promise you made." She says getting up.

She turns back around.

"And you know what? i'm so glad you're not in her life and you guys were never together because jenna deserves more than you and you sure as hell aren't anything special." She yells now walking away.

I follow her outside.

"Wait aliyah hold on." I yell.

Aliyah turns around and so does the girl next to her. The girl being Jenna.

Jenna looks into my eyes with nothing but anger.

"Jenna." I say quietly.

"Lets go our uber is here." Jenna says to Aliyah.

They get in and the car drives away.

Fuck.

I run towards a taxi and get in.

"Follow that black car." I say.

"Sorry it's against policy for us to follow people. For safety reasons." The man says.

"Follow that fucking car before it gets away ill pay you whatever you want just please!" I yell.

The man turns around and smiles.

"Didn't your father teach you not to get into cars? Especially with everything going on?" He smiles.

"Who the fuck are you? I swear ill kill you." I say.

After that two men came into the car and the driver locked the doors as he drove away.
The men started hitting me and I, of course hit back until one of them held me down while the other one punched me in my stomach over and over.

He then hit me in my face and I felt myself lose consciousness.

————————-

"hey hey are you okay?"
I faintly heard.

I opened my eyes and looked around hearing the noise of the city. I was on the ground laying in an alleyway.

I look up at this girl.

"Hey my name is gracie. I was walking and I found you laying here pretty beat up. Are you okay?" She says.

I try to get up but I stumble back and gracie catches me.

"Come on, I live down the street and I can help you." she says.

I just nod and walk with her.

After about 3 minutes I notice we're in an elevator.
We step out and I feel myself falling again.

"Oh, nope come on heres my apartment." She says.

She opens her door and then walks me to her couch and i flop down.
