Chapter 8

-Mia-

I never expected anything to happen to me like this, living a normal boring life was great. I could never go back to what I had before, my friends, family, was all gone.

I had no idea how long it has been since I came here or even what time it was now. My body hurt of hunger, my head was in so much pain from fainting multiple times in a short amount of time, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I had a concussion or something.

The door opened to what seemed like forever since she came down here last. I didn’t know what to expect, she didn’t come toward us she went to my right and pulled back black curtains. I didn’t notice them there before. What seemed to lie behind the curtain were three dentist chairs, minus all the supplies.

People in doctor coats came down stairs three of them to be exact and I noticed the boots immediately. I looked toward Jesse and Amanda; they looked frightened.

“What are they doing?” I whispered not so sure she wanted us to talk.

“Our time is up.” Jesse and Amanda said looking like they might be sick.

“What do you mean?”  

“You don’t know do you?” Amanda said.

“Know what?” I whispered not really understanding everything that was going on at the moment. Amanda looked at Jesse and he nodded.

“Well Mia I really don’t know how to tell you, but…”

“I think we are ready.” The so-called blond came our way and started to unchain us from the wall.

“Ready for what?” I asked questionably.

“Dreaming silly, but this time none of you are coming back.” She smiled and pulled us to the chairs. Jesse came by my side.

“Don’t fight, it doesn’t hurt I promise.” He whispered and he gave me a smile, just like the one he gave me from our first meet and thinking about it, I know I’m going to miss it.

We took our seats and I closed my eyes not wanting to see what there is to come. I felt a needle go into my left arm, feeling some kind of liquid enter my blood stream. I started to cry not understanding what they wanted from me, they took my life from me for no reason at all.

The last thought I had was of Jeremy kissing me for the first time, I could still remember the feeling I had fireworks the whole enchilada. I never got to tell him, but all the chaos made me fall for him, I was falling in love with him and I never really got to get to know him and I was never going to be able to. A tear fell down my left cheek for the last time, because I never got to know how he felt for me, I will never know.

-Jeremy-

Ashley said there was absolutely no hope of finding her it made Mrs. Hearten cry. Seeing her hurt had my heartache worst. I saved her once and why couldn’t have I been smart enough to think this might happen.

She informed us that Cole has broken out of jail, but there was no way he could have kidnapped Mia. I didn’t know what to think about any of this, saving her was the best choice I have ever done, but why do I feel so guilty.

I stayed at their house all day, they kind of wanted company so I stayed. I didn’t mind I haven’t had a real family since Jesse and Amanda, our parents went missing when we were little and we moved with our grandparents here in this town but died four years ago leaving everything to Jesse and I. Then 2 ½ years later I lost Jesse and his girlfriend Amanda, my whole family gone taken away from me.

I didn’t know what to believe when Ashley told us there is little hope. I couldn’t and will not believe anything she says, I didn’t like her. She was smiling through everything even when Mia’s mother was crying. I was glad to see her go.

“Will you please stay?” I looked up at Mrs. Hearten and couldn’t say no.

“Sure.”

“I will take you to your room.” I wasn’t expecting to be brought to her room.

“Is this okay Jeremy?” I nodded not wanting to make her dad feel bad. I noticed the crime scene tape was gone; the floor was spotless.

“They took what they needed and cleaned it up.” I nodded, understanding.

“If you need…” I knew what he was going to say.

“Thank you Mr. Hearten, I will tell you if I need anything.” He smiled.

“Of course” And he went back downstairs.

I paused in the doorway remembering the first and last time I came in this room. I was so pleased to see her smiling at the sight of me and I couldn’t help but smile in return. Kissing her was something I never thought of doing, but I’m glad she did.

 I walked up to the bed and sat at the exact place I was sitting at and tried to picture her here with me. I took in a deep breath allowing her smell come to me, and her air enters my lungs. My feelings for her grew every second I was with her and they are still growing without her here.

Taking my shoes and leather jacket off I placed my head on her feather pillow. I couldn’t help but cry for thinking I might never see her again and I can’t bear to see her parents including Forest hurt like the way I lost my family.  Taking in deep breaths I was finally able to sleep but I was crying still for everything I gained and then lost.

------------------------

-Mia-

I opened my eyes not expecting to be here and able to feel, see, and smell all of this. The place I came every time I was asleep, but this time I wasn’t alone. I looked to my left seeing Jesse and Amanda right beside me and I couldn’t help but smile. The warmth of the sun rising made me feel whole again like there was still hope left in this world.

No one spoke, we were all happy that we were together. I forgot everything until I heard his voice.

“Mia…” I didn’t turn afraid it wasn’t true. Before I had a chance I felt his arms wrap around my waist, making me feel protected. I couldn’t find myself to turn and face him, afraid he would disappear the moment I turned around. I looked at Amanda and Jesse; they were smiling at who was behind me. I turned and he was there, I started to cry.

“Jeremy?” I asked not knowing what to believe or who to trust. He smiled at his name and he pushed hair out of my face and kissed me. I wanted his touch for so long, but I never imagined how much I wanted him to kiss me. It made me feel alive and at peace sharing this moment with him. But when I pulled back I couldn’t believe my eyes.

“Cole.” I gasped and so did Jesse and Amanda. I didn’t understand only Jeremy touched and kissed me like that, but Cole.

So any thoughts on what might of happened let me know and I will upload soon<3

See ya:)
