You can't be friends with someone if they aren't worth it, right? I mean, yeah, I sort of missed Alex...sort of. But that didn't mean I wanted to deal with him again. I didn't need that at this point in time; or at least that's what I thought.

In that particular moment, I needed him the most.

Everything was quiet as I lay in my bed that night. I had been staring at the ceiling for what felt like hours, and now my eyes had begun to play tricks on me. The young Daniel's space painted ceiling started to move and distort. A spaceship in the corner of my eye slowly made its way along the twinkling stars, but when I looked at it, the weird moving picture came to a halt. I laughed to myself as my eyes drifted and wandered over the childish painting, but stopped abruptly when I heard a click like a silenced gun.

I froze and listened hard. I couldn't figure out where the sound came from until it was too late.

I threw my hands to my neck as a sharp pain flooded down my spine. My fingers brushed something metal lodged in the side on my neck, but I didn't have time to figure out what it was. The last thing I saw was the nose of a gun peeking out from my closet door, and the impression of a girls face behind it before everything went black.

I woke up to the voices, and an unwelcoming bucket of ice cold water. The lights in front of me flickered and filled my sight as I tried to make sense of all this. Thats when I realized I didn't have to. I already knew. This was on the news almost 24/7; people were kidnapped like, every other day...but this time it was me sitting in the chair. It never occurred to me that I—out of all people—would be the one taken in my sleep, but I guess I was wrong.

There's no such thing as protection. You can never be sure of what's to come.
