Chapter 20
*Elly's POV*

-One week later-

I was walking home from school on a Monday afternoon. School was as it used to be, besides the fact that Zero and I don't talk to each other anymore. Which sucks because I missed talking to him so much but i think its for the best if we stayed away from eacher other. I noticed that Amber followed him around like a lost puppy today. I found it kind of sickening to watch, yet also funny because he tried his hardest to hide from her. As for Alice I love her, I do, but once the girl starts talking she strats talking. When you mention Alex she'll talk talk your ear off. I was happy for her but i can only take so much of Alex this, Alex that, or even isn't Alex so adorable? I swear if I heard one more thing about him i would shoot myself in the foot.

My phone vibrated in my pocket so i pullrd it and saw that Adam had sent me a message. I put it back into my pocket without replying. I loved being with Adam don't get me wrong but he could be a little overwhelming sometimes, and with me missing Zero I was starting to have weird thoughts. Adam is a great distraction from all my weird thoughts but only for a short time. Sighing, I looked around to see where I was. I was standing in front of the same park that Zero and I had first met. I remember as if it were yesterday.

I was sitting up in a tree after my parents had a huge fight about me having a gun. He was sitting below me at the small table smoking. I jumped down unknowing that he was there and I had scared him half to death. He even fell off his seat onto the hard ground. After apologizing to him I took off running back home. The main thing I remebered about our first encounter were his eyes. I fell in love with them when I first saw them, no matter how much I tried to deny it. I silently laughed to myself at the memory.

Now that I think about it I haven't seen him smoke ever since we were together. Ugh, no, I needed to stop thinking about him. I walked over to one of the tables and sat down. I laid my head down on my arms. Something would make me forget about him, if that was even possible. Oh my gosh, I'm still thinking about him by not trying to think about him. I seriously need help. I let out a deep breath and took in my surroundings.

My eyes stopped when I spotted a car parked near the park. It looked like my stepfather's car, but I couldn't tell if it was or not since it was so far away. Just then my phone vibrated again. Thinking it was Adam again I opened it without checking who it was from. The text was actually from Zero. I usually don't read text from Zero, but since he was on my mind so much I decided to read it.

'I don't even know why Im sending you this, you're probably not even going to read this. Oh well here goes nothing. I know I've said this a million times before but I am sorry for what I've done to you. I know that me saying this is never going to make up for what happened. I'm hoping you will find it in your heart and forgive me and talk to me. I miss you every day. I hate that I don't get to talk to you, it's driving me crazy. I need you in my life Ellycat. You make everything better, you make me better. I still love you. P.S. listen to the recording. :p'

I decided that I would listen to the recording, it couldnt be that bad. Right? I pressed play and waited. He sighed before talking. As he started talking I could feel shivers run down my spine, I missed his voice more than I should have.

"Alright this is for you Elly. I want you to know that I love you and I always will." The music started before Zero's singing filled my ears. His voice was amazing it almost made me want to cry. It was so beautiful as he started to sing Oceans by Seafret.

"I want you. Yeah I want you. And nothing comes close, to the way that I need you. I wish I can feel your skin, and I want you from somewhere within. It feels like theres oceans between me and you once again. We hide our emotions underthe surface and tryin' to pretend. But it feels like there's oceans between you and me."

He continued to sing until he finished. When the music stopped he started to speak again.

"I hope you understand that I know that what I did was stupid and I shouldn't have done it, but I did and there's nothing I can do to undo it. I just want you to know that I want you and only you. I know that you're with Adam but I want you back. Forgive me." When his recording ended I slid my phone back into my pocket. It was starting to get dark and i really needed to get home. I looked up into the sky and watched as clouds started to fill the darkening sky. I pulled my sweater closely around me and started to walk home. As I started away from the park I got the strangest feeling that someone was watching me. I walked a little faster, wanting to get home where I could feel safe.

My mind wandered back to Zero. I guess it wouldn't be a crime for me to forgive him after all. I was so caught up in my thoughts on how Iwas going to forgive him and what I was going to say to him that I didn't notice the car that had pulled up behind me. I also didn't hear the car door open or see the person get out of it until it was too late.

I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around me. Before I could scream a hand covered my mouth. I fought against my attacker but i wasn't strong enough to escape from their grip. I kept struggling to get away but it wasn't helping anything. How has no one come outside or walked by, why was no one around to help me. Tears started to swell up in my eyes as I was losing hope. I was forcefully shoved against the car, my mouth was covered with tape and my eyes were blindfolded. I tired to break free again but I failed, next thing I knew my hands were being tied behind my back and I was being thrown into the back of their car. I heard the car start up and start moving down the street to an unknown location. Scared shitless I tried to break out of my restrants but it wouldn't budge. What the hell was going to happen to me? Why were they doing this to me? Tears streamed down my face as I awaited the unknown.
