When I met them...again

Chapter 7

Bridget's POV

I have 3 hours...3 hours to change my mind or 3 hours to leave this all behind. As I'm sitting there in a corner holding my phone in my hand staring at the blank screen hoping, praying for a way out of this. Then I get a text. No, I got two texts. I opened the one from Katie first.

'Hey darling you left your necklace at ours you know the silver change with the emerald you said it was special to you I just wanted to text you to say we're coming round to give it back."

Fuck...they're going to know i'm not home...do I text them? No they'll just leave it there hopefully. But it is so special it was the last thing mum gave to me before she...nevermind it's not that important... I clear my mind and take some deep breaths as I open Jessie's message.

'Hey babe see you soon hope you're at the airport now. I can't wait to feel you when I see you.' Huh that was worded a little weirdly oh whatever it won't matter. I love him.

'Hey sweetheart we arrived at your not home? It looks like nobody's home...It looks like you've left, is everything ok my love?'

Oh god...I can't, I can't. My heart starts to beat rapidly. I start to hyperventilate and cry oh god oh god please just stop, stop please stop. Then suddenly it was dark.

Katie's POV

We arrived home after dropping Bridget off. We were quiet the whole trip home. It felt kind of empty without her here.

"Kate...?"

"Yea what's up love."

"...D-do you like Bridget?"

"I thought we kind of cleared that up but yes."

"I thought so I just...I kind of wanted her to stay is all."

"So did I but it's ok love we'll see her on Monday." She nods in response and tells me she's heading to bed. I sit on the couch and read a book. I needed something peaceful to do. I immerse myself in books when I'm stressed or just low. It always works for me.

Jamie's POV

I want her to come back. I need her to come back. I don't usually create such a bond with people this quickly. The last time that happened was with Katie. I didn't think I'd create such a strong bond with Bridget either but she truly is the perfect one for us. I mean me and Kate have been looking for a third for years and we've had a few they didn't last. It was always one thing or another but Bridget she just seems so perfect. We arrived home and I had a passing conversation with Katie but I really couldn't. I had to leave so I went upstairs to bed. I needed to sleep and reset. I went to get changed into a silk black slip when I saw it. Bridget's necklace it's beautiful, a darling emerald shaped in a heart with amazing sterling silver hardware. I held it in my hand and stared before walking back downstairs to go see Kate again.

"My love..."

She looks up and I walk over sitting beside her.

"I found Bridget's necklace, she left it on the bedside table."

She takes the necklace from my hand and examines it. We agree we'll take it back to her. As we get in the car Katie sends her another text telling her we're coming to drop off her necklace but there's no response. I wonder if we did something. I mean she's not talking to us. We arrive at her house and her car isn't here. We look around the house and it looks empty...like she's left in a rush. I'm kind of worried has something happened, is she ok? We text her again and yet no response. We decide to leave and take the necklace with us. I was slightly paranoid about everything so when we got home I went straight upstairs. I took one of my expensive swarovski crystal necklace off its stand and placed Bridget's on there instead. I finally lay down in bed falling into a deep sleep.

Bridget's POV

Boarding call. Do I go? The attendant calls my group...Can I really just leave. I mean he loves me right? There's no chance they can, they have each other after all. I finally picked up my carry-on and boarded the plane. We got ready for take off and I managed to get a whole row to myself. Lucky. It's a 4 hour flight. I'm moving a couple cities over to the bottom of the country. It's about a 10 hour drive so I'm glad I'm flying at least. I take out my headphones and fall asleep on the flight over.

We finally begin to land and I pack all of my belongings into my carry on and get ready to leave. I get off the plane and pick up all my other baggage before sitting down to have a drink. I take a sip of my hot chocolate when I get a call from him.

"Hey Jessie"

"Bridget, darling, I'm here to pick you up."

"Already? Thanks I'll meet you out by pick up then?"

"Yep see you soon."

This was the start of a new life for me. A new chapter. A new Bridget. I walk out of the airport and approach the pick up zone where I see him. 6ft, dark brown hair, blue eyes, decent build. I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist. He turns in shock.

"Bridget! Finally, Here give me your bags and you can hop in the car and let's go." He grabbed my bags and I sat in the passenger seat. We arrived at his place. It;s nothing fancy, slightly bigger than my own house but it'll work for us.

Katies POV

It's monday, time for work me and Jamie get up both in a solemn mood after yesterday. We arrive at school and head to our first class. Maybe getting to see her again will lift our moods. I should have her first. I can't wait to see her. I get to class and start to take the role. She's not here. I guess she's running late. The class ends, she never shows.

It's like this for the rest of the week. She's not in class, she doesn't come to tutoring and we don't hear from her. Then today, Friday, I take the role as usual but then I see it, her name isn't on it. She's unenrolled. What happened and where is she.
