Sweet Magnolia

The first thing I could recollect from any senses in my brain was the smell of sweet maple...just like Memaw and...Oh my God!

My eyes shot open and came in the pain! "Ouch!" I grabbed my temple and sucked in the stale air of the old home. Looking around there was dark honey oak with gold strips outlining the furniture, the bed I was laying on was curtained with red satin strips for a canopy and thin gold slivers of something holding some of it back. I sat up on my knees to my best ability and bit my bottom lip. The blood coating my shirt scared me, and my hair seemed to be wet with the breeze of the ceiling fan providing for my temperature I had.

"Christ" I spilled a slight complaint, I don't know why it was a complaint other than the fact I didn't even know what time it was, and it was night...well after school hours.

"Crap, I need to call MeMaw." I reached for my pocket only to find my phone missing.

Panic set in now. I rushed to the door forgetting the pain, my shoes were off as well.

"H-Help!" I screamed, banged on the door but no one came. I turned the door knob a few times just to make sure I wasn't speaking before I tried that first and low and behold, it was locked.

"N-No!" I cried; a tear managed to escape. The last thing I remember I was outside trying to get to the library....and that prick pushed me, or I fell but if I fell, he didn't catch me, so he definitely pushed me.

I heard the door before watching it start to turn. Backing up the back of my legs hit the bed before my butt collapsed onto it. I jumped on it and hid between the blinding spots on the bed.

I heard heavy boots, the door shut and a chuckle. This ass-fuck kidnapped me.

I bit my bottom lip to hide the anger I was feeling, that was coursing through my veins at the moment.

"I know you're hiding little bird...come on out." He sang.

"The fuck!" I groaned. He's sick.

With all the boldness in me and regardless of the pain I felt in my head, I pushed the curtains to the side, forward and out of my way until they became tangled and grabbed my hand. I fought them and all I could hear is an audience of laughter.

"You sure about this one Alp--." I heard before he was obviously hit and groaning.

"Let me go!" I fought.

"Girl, it's all on you." He spoke.

My body gave into the tangle, and I fell hitting the floor hard too!

"Are you okay?" He was right at my side after the curtains was removed from my face, legs and arms.

"Why did you do that!?" I pushed him only gaining another laugh from him and his friend. The friend was...cute. He had longish blond hair, blue eyes but a copper tan. He had on a regular teenage fit with jeans, white shirt, vans and his shirt was open displaying his abs.

"Damn---" I groaned and Gathan hissed.

"What, he's hot?" I shrugged and he stood with my hand in his. I was jerked up and my head started swimming.

"Out!" He told the boy who shut his mouth instantly and rushed out.

"Why do you live with such a hot guy and why haven't I seen him at school before?" I asked.

"Shut your mouth or you will end up punished."

My mouth dropped. "Before what? You are the reason I'm here anyways and where is here!?"
