Abduction Love

Chapter 7.

{Stefan's POV}
1:45pm

The ancient screech roared through the hallways. The school bell screamed like a rusted, tortured asunder in a out flowing of hideous noise. My ears, after many years, became accustomed to this sound.

Usually it would indicate the end; of a lesson; of a day, allowing departure nor permitting entry, but today the bell indicated a new beginning. Today it rang for a more joyous occasion.

I rushed off to her History class where I hoped I would spend the rest of the afternoon indulging myself into a momentarily conversation with her. But deep down, i really just wanted to patch things up with Audrey. I wanted to close the book of our terrible past and bury it deep beneath the earth where it shall lay amongst the dead; who's lost souls still linger. And just like the dead; that dreadful moment would disintegrate.

I would do this in hopes of writing the sequel with her. With a chemistry so strong, not even the laws could deny it. And this was going to be the first chapter, a simple Italian lunch.

The students began to pour out of the classroom, some in herds others in clusters of twos. My gaze immediately began to survey the crowd but the luscious brown hair, I was eagerly awaiting, was missing.

The last out the door, was a familiar perky blonde. Her golden locks bouncy with every step, something she must have learnt from Audrey I guess.

I grabbed the arm of the perky blonde. I observed as her cheery features fell to become a death stare. I should have been intimidated by the threat but a new adrenaline pumped through my veins, causing a surge of new confidence.

"Josie, where is she!" I harden my features to match hers and stared intensely though her blue eyes.

"What did you do now!" her tone was angry, strong. She was quick to the accusation and it caught me off guard.

"I don't know. I was meant to take her to lunch" my words began to falter.

"Clearly it was something else!"

"Where is she?!" My tone came out sharp and was slowly pulled out though the small gap of my clutched teeth.

"None of your goddamn business!" She fired back. I could here the vexation that began to grow.

I was getting frustrated, and the adrenaline coursing through my veins began to turn to ice. I knew agitating Josie would only vex her more so I tried a different route, in attempts to gain her trust.

I loosened my grip around her arm and began " Look Josie, i care about Audrey! I wouldn't purposely hurt her"

You hurt her enough. She doesn't want to be around you anymore, this is why she avoided you all these months"

My mind wondered through that time. Our 'Great depression'. I knew I wouldn't get my lunch with Audrey and my day had already experienced to many low blows. But I had to fix this, someway.

"I love her. You know that. You can't deny she was the happiest with me. I took the pain of her absence parents away. I made her feel like a normal girl who didn't have a fuck ass wealthy dad with all its disadvantages. To me she was more than normal and I cherished her."

I watch as her eyes begin to glimmer and the corners of her lips turn up. I sensed she realized my strong emotion for Audrey. She recovered quickly;

"It looked like she had a panic attack in class and ran out. I'm not sure where she could have run off too, but wherever she went I want to give her space"

"Where could she have gone?"

"If you loved her like you say you do, you'd know" And with that she loosened her arm from my grip, swiveled her sand coloured hair to the side and walked away.

My mind was a rushing blur. I recalled every habit and place that Audrey loved, but this category was infinitive. In my peripheral view, I saw a little kid stumble upon his feet dropping his books to meet the ground. I caught a glimpse of the books and I couldn't comprehend the magnetic pull that I began to feel. It's was a nonchalant mood that surrounded my aura.

But that's when it occurred to me. I knew there was large possibility that she'd take comfort amongst her books and my nonchalant mood began to change. And It was soon replaced by that adrenaline that I had felt earlier. It surged through my body like an electrical current and I could feel the jitters as they built up.

I wanted to make what ever this was right. I wanted her to find a safe place amongst in my arms. I wanted the stale air between us to evaporate into nothingness. I wanted her to be happy.

{Audrey's POV}
1:15pm

Hot tears flooded down my face creating an exotic art work, a mixture of my eyeliner stream and the the dried up salted tears that mixed to form a zebras crossing.

I moved my heated body through the empty hallways. I began to feel my soul detach from my body and I longed for the place I seeked.

I reached it with a final plunge of breath, and christened my body in attempts to calm my liberated emotions.

The librarian noticed my trespassing and questioned me through her spectacles. I gave her a grimaced look and hurried off to my haven. I was glad she didn't press further or ask why I skipped meeting period, I didn't have the energy to speak but mostly because my mouth was dry.

I dragged my finger nail along the spines of the books. I tried to examine each book but with the tears brimming my eyes it made it difficult.

Quite sobs rolled off my lips as I picked out my books. I took them to a nook in a corner and I laid them down.

My mind was still only made up of lose strings, undone and in need of tying. I remembered that day. When my paper heart was burnt to ashes. The day my eyes were blinded and my mind cursed. It caused me great pain and I began gasping for air, trying to get enough oxygen for my insatiable lungs, but as much as I inhaled I didn't seem like enough.

I clenched my sweaty palms in a fist and tilted my head side to side. My eyes were shut closed acting as quick sand to my eyelashes, pulling them in.

In let out fast, quick breaths until my heart rate descended. I opened a book, to the theory of matter and devoured the words written across it. I scanned through the book but I still wasn't at ease.

I tried another book, this one about WW2, something I enjoyed. I read over the war in the pacific but even this didn't keep me at ease.

My throat felt sore and dry. It was the dessert, dry and abandoned. It felt as if a vacuum had taken all the saliva away, so it could bass in the scorching nothingness.

I studied my pulse, fast but steady. I gazed at my palms, sweaty but glistening. I checked my self, functioning but barely.

I knew that i had to take my mind back to that day only so it could process the horrible events, find the strength to over come the pain.

My mind began to ascend to that place.
