When You Least Expect It

Chapter 8

Lily's pov:-

I heard the door being knocked down and heavy footsteps came inside the apartment. I texted Adam to come over, but he didn't respond! "Daviddd. Where are youuu?!" The same guy with the deep voice said, I got out of my bed and hid in my closet. On one hand, I had my phone and with the other, I covered my mouth so they couldn't hear my cries.

   Ms.Cooper!! I can call her. I dialed Ms.Cooper's number and hit the call button. It rang a few times, "Lily?" She asked in a groggy voice, "Ms.Cooper! Please come over! There are some people in my apartment!!" I said in a hushed tone, I heard some shuffling from the other line, "Sweetheart have you called the police?" She asked again in a worried tone, "No." I said while crying a few tears.

   Then suddenly the closet door opened and a tall muscular guy stood in front of me. He looked at me then at my phone, "You bitch!" He said, snatching the phone out of my hand and ended the call and looked at me, "Where's David?!" He asked loudly and I burst into tears, "I don't know!!" I said between sobs while shaking my head. The guy stepped back and gestured with his head to one of the men behind him. one of them came closer and pulled me out of the closet by my shirt collar.

   He dragged me out of my bedroom and into the living room, and then he shoved me to fall to my knees, I was sobbing and trembling out of fear. The first guy sat on my couch with his arms outstretched, "Where's David?" He asked again in a calmer tone. "I don't know anyone by that name," I said with my head down as I felt tears streaming down my face.

   He scooted forward in his seat and pull me by my hair to look at him, I reached back to hold his wrist, "Don't fucking lie to me, you bitch!" He spat in my face, "Please. I swear I don't know anyone by that name." By this point, I was sobbing, "Please!!" He let go of my hair and said loudly, "Search the apartment," I curled up on the ground and sobbed.

   As they searched every corner of the apartment, they came empty-handed. "There's nothing, Sir." I heard one of them say, and the guy on the couch raised to his feet. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN 'THERE'S NOTHING!'" He said loudly. "There's no site of a guy living here, Sir." After he said that, I heard someone being slapped followed by a thud. "You useless piece of shit."

Vanessa's pov:-

   Lily's call woke me up, when I saw her name on the phone I immediately panicked. Why would she call at this hour?! And when I answered my heart sank. I turned to Lizzie and shook her shoulder. "Babe! Babe!!!" I whispered yelled, she woke up with a frown, "What!" She asked with one eye open. "It's Lily," I said and put the phone on speaker. Lizzie set up, and we both were able to hear her cries. Then a man's deep voice was heard before the line was disconnected.

   I got out of bed and called the police, "911. What's your emergency?" A young woman's voice answered. Lizzie also got out of bed and technically ran to our closet. I told the police officer about Lily and what I heard from the man while I wore some decent clothes.

   Lizzie and I got into the car and I drove us as fast as I can to Lily's place. The whole drive I was trying very hard not to break down with Lily's desperate cries on my mind. My heartbeat accelerate as I think of all the possibility of what's happening to our Lily! I drive on airplane mode as I could hear Lizzie's muffled cries beside me. It all feels like a dream.

  When we arrived there's no sight of any police cars. We got out the car and ran upstairs to Lily's apartment. When we got there the apartment door was slightly open, we couldn't hear anything, slowly pushing the door fully open, we were faced with Lily curled up on the living room floor. "Lily!" We both ran to her side, she looked up at us and started sobbing. "Oh, baby!" Lizzie said with shedding tears.
