6:45 am,my phone rings up,who can it even be,Leos laying right next to me. I grab it and look at the number,i couldnt recognize it. I answer.
Erik: whos this? i say in a sleepy voice.
?: Good morning,i called to let you know you left your moms necklace at my place,i was cleaning up yesterday and found it.
Erik: who the hell is this? Ethan?
Ethan: yes,its me. Do u want it back?
Erik: yes of course i do.
Ethan: send me the address and ill come give you it.
Erik: as if you dont know the address already, no need to come here,Leo might get mad again. Ill come pick it up after school, ok?
Ethan: yeah sure,keep the number,bye.
He hangs up the phone and i get up to start my day trying to forget what happened last night. Everything is going on pretty fine..i eneded up getting a good grade at the math test,so he really figured it out.. I didnt tell Leo ab where im going after school so he wont have to worry,in front of it was Ethan in his car,i get in.
Ethan: Hey, how are you? He starts the car.
Erik: im fine,stop talking js go.
Ethan: alright jeez,youre so mean.
He speeds of and i try to act like im genuinely not worried hes ab to crash the car or something, hes just trying to impress me,does he really think thats gonna work? We get there and he opens the door for me,i get in his apartment.
Ethan: take your shoes off,cmon.
Erik: stop acting and just give me the necklace please. I stand in the hallway as he takes his shoes off.
Ethan: oh cmon,take em off.
Erik: im not repeating myself,give me the necklace,Ethan. I get visibly mad.
We fought back and forth and i finally took my shoes off.
Ethan: its in your room..i mean, that bedroom that was your room. He goes into the kitchen and i start walking towards the door. I enter and i cant see my moms necklace anywhere,as i look around i can hear the front door closing,fuck,i know whats ab to happen. He trapped me in here,i turn around and he was right in front of me,i try to walk past him but he grabs me forcefully.
Ethan: youre not going anywhere now.
Erik: LET ME LEAVE YOU FUCKING PSYCHO. i try to push him away but it doesnt work,he was too strong. In a matter of seconds he picks me up and throws me onto the bed,pinning my wrists down.
Erik: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YO- he puts his hand on my mouth,holding my wrists above my head with the other. I tear up while my whole body goes numb. He leans to the drawer besides the bed while i cant say a word anymore or move out of fear. He pulls out some rope..rope? what the fuck is wrong with this dude.
Ethan: yeah be silent,one word and ill slit your throat. He ties my hands and legs. Fucking loser.
Is he going to..assault me? oh my god im gonna pass out from the tension, i need to get out of here, I start crying and whining. He gets up and starts taking out something from his pocket.
It was a syringe. What the actual fuck is he going to do to me. I move around because i didnt want whatever that syringe had in it.
Ethan: STOP MOVING DUMBFUCK,STOP IT. He grabs my hand and stings me with it,i could feel the liquid going into my veins,im so scared i began to cry. Not even two minutes later and my vision went blurry,I can feel his hand going lower on my pants,unzipping my jeans..i pass out from the substance.
Leo's pov:
Why is he not home yet,its almost 5 pm,he got out at 2 pm. I should go to his high school to see if hes still there,maybe he has something to attend and cant text me. I put on an outfit and drive to there,i enter the high school and go straight to the principals office.
Leo: good evening,is Erik still in the high school, is there an event he needs to attend today or something?
Principal: Good evening sir,no,the high school is now empty. Me and the janitors are the only ones in here at the moment,why's that?
I feel a shock going through my body,what does he mean Eriks not here,then where the hell is he.
Leo: he didnt come home at 2 pm when he left nor left me a message ab where hes going.
Principal: that sounds awful,ill check the cameras right now. He turns on these laptops he had on a big desk,the cctv footage of Erik is shown to me. He got into a car. Ethans car.
Leo: thats all i needed to see,thank you, have a good evening! I get out and i call the police,this Ethan guy is genuinely mentally fucked. I alerted the police and we go to his apartment, they talk with Ethan but i couldn't see Erik anywhere in the back. Ethan said he has nothing to do with it and denied the fact that it was his car.
Leo: i dont believe it,please check his apartment.
Ethan: you dont have the permission to search my apartment.
His wors make the police get suspicious and so they go in to search around,they find Erik chained up in a bedroom..he was..passed out and in his boxers. What the fuck did this weirdo do to Erik.
Leo: Ethan i will get rid of you. I say in a mad tone as the police rescue Erik. Ethan gives me a mad look as if he hates the fact that he got caught. They take erik and wake him up.
Leo: What did u do to him.
Ethan: Leo i will make Erik hate you. He smiles.
Eriks pov
..what,what happened to me,where am i? Sirens can be heard from outside..im on the ground,my vision comes back to normal and im surrounded by police and paramedics..i look down and realize im in boxers.
Erik:..whats going on? i say.
Police: Hes awake,hes finally awake. Leo runs to me.
Leo: OH MY GOD,ERIK,WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU ARE YOU OKAY OH GOD. he kneels down and hugs me.
Erik: Leo.. I sob. He s/a me.
Leos face goes blank and his eyes darken,turning to Ethan who was smiling and held by police.
Hours later im taken to the hospital and it turns out he drugged me and took advantage of it,i got interrogated as well which made Ethan stand behind bars for a while. We get home and sat at the kitchen table in silence for a couple of minutes. Leo breaks the silence:
Leo: what..the fuck did he do to you,Erik.
Erik: ..i..im..sorry i just.. I start tearing up.
Leo slams his glass of wine on the table angrily.
Leo: WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME WHERE YOURE GOING AFTER SCHOOL,DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW WORRIED I WAS? he yells at me.
Erik: im so sorry..i knew you wouldnt let me go get my moms necklace back and it wasnt even there..i think he got rid of it but he fought with me back and forth ab me taking my shoes off and entering,he then attacked me..drugged me and..and.. I start to whine while i cover my face.
Leo: oh Erik,im sorry i yelled..im not mad at you,im mad at Ethan and his fucked up mind. He gets up and comes towards me with his arms wide open..he hugs me. I hug him tightly back.
Leo: I promise ill never let anyone hurt you in any way,Erik.
