What goes on in the dark

On The Edge

As Alana and Robyn arrive at the party, they are beyond surprised when they see the set up of this party. "I don't know about you Alana, but your mom is beyond amazing! This party is a total place to be." Robyn teases her friend.

Alana rolls her eyes at her smiling friend and Chris Brown starts playing and she yells "This is my song!"

Alana drags Robyn towards the centre of the dance floor and starts dancing in her very revealing attire.

"I do believe you saved that spot for me." The pair of them looked up and saw Miguel standing with his arm out.

"You two are di-" Robyn is cut off by a rather short, 50 year old looking man who is smiling at Robyn like a pedophile.

"Fine evening, isn't it? I do believe you look better than the moon itself." The old man said to Robyn.

*WHAT THE HELL?!*

"May I have this dance?" The old man asked her. Suddenly, a very slow song started playing. Perfect timing.

*WHY ME? WHY ME?!*

Robyn silently started cursing herself.

"Thank you bu-" She was cut off again by the man but this time he literally pulled her into his arms and they danced away from Miguel and Alana.

Immediately Robyn and her new love interest were out of sight, Miguel and Alana burst out laughing hysterically, you can't blame them though.

After about 20 minutes of dancing, Alana sees Robyn running towards them.

"Both of you are so annoying! Couldn't you help me there?" Robyn said obviously looking utterly disgusted.

Miguel let out a little chuckle and said "He is so into you! Did you see that smile? Totally in love." Him and Alana burst out laughing again.

"Ugh, I'm going to look for someone my age. I'll meet you at the pool in 30 minutes, later." Robyn ran off when she noticed the man she danced with earlier, looking like he was searching for her.

"Let's go to the pool now, babe." Miguel grabbed Alana by her waist.

"30 minutes sounds pretty good to me." She smirked and led Miguel towards the pool door.

An hour later, Alana and Miguel are deep into a make-out session but are interrupted by a vibration. It was Alana's phone.

Alana put the phone on silent and they continued with their business.

"I'm thirsty babe, I'll get us some drinks." Miguel says standing up.

"Okay, see you in few." Alana replied.

When Miguel left, Alana's phone rang again and she saw the caller ID, it was Robyn.

Alana picked up and yelled "Where the hell are you I-". She hears Robyn screaming and the phone drops again.

In the state of panic, Alana calls Robyn's number again. All of a sudden, there is a very loud scream and Robyn looks up and she sees a body dangling from her balcony.

"Oh my God, Robyn!" She yells. The body is dropped 20 feet down and splashes into the pool.

Alana rushes to the poolside and starts to remove her shoes to jump into the pool and she sees Miguel rushing over.

Miguel quickly dives inside and brings the shriveled looking body out.

"Oh my God, is she breathing?" Alana asks.

Miguel checks her pulse and says "She is, get some blankets."

Alana rushes out of the door and Miguel carries Robyn's body to one of the chairs.

After 10 minutes of suspense, Robyn wakes up.

"Robyn!" Alana cried as she quickly leaned in to hug her best friend as if she was going to lose her again.

"Alana, Miguel , Thank God you're here!" She grabbed the pair of them and started letting out loud sobs.

"What happened? I was so worried." Alana asked.

"Okay... here goes," She started.

Robyn's POV

"Ugh, I'm going to look for someone my age. I'll meet you at the pool in 30 minutes, later." I irritably said as I walked away.

I look around for some hot stuff an- OH MY GOD ARE THOSE RIBS?!

I run towards the snack table in awe as I eye the beautiful barbecue sauce covered ribs and as I am about to dig in, I feel a hand on my shoulder and I turn around to see who it is and JESUS CHRIST, HE IS HOT! Like... HOT!

"Hey there." I smile while trying not to feel like a fool, letting the food fetish come over me... what the hell was I? The freaking rib monster?!

"Umm, hi. I saw you before but I couldn't help but say hi now. " He said awkwardly but smiled showing off a cute little dimple at the side of his cheek.

"Why didn't you say hi before? I'm Robyn by the way."I introduced myself.

"I'm Alejandro and well, when I was you from where I was I saw you dancing with someone..." He let out a little chuckle.

And the foolishness increases.

"Oh yeah, if that's what you came here for then yo-" I was immediately stopped by a pair of lips on mine.

This. Is. Heaven.

Wait... I have a boyfriend!

He pulls away and slips a small note in my hand.

'555-981

-Alejandro'

I have to think about this, alone. I smile at him as he walks away and head to Alana'room.

I started going up the stairs and I feel a hand wrap around my hand and I try to let out a scream but his giant arms block my audibility.

"Say another word and I swear, I will slit your throat." He whispered into my ears.

I gently nod, trying not to pass out.

The man leads me up the staircase and I realize that his touch feels familiar to me.

He opens the door and pushes me into the dark room, onto a chair next to her bed.

He's been in here before?

I stay silent, praying that someone would save me. Suddenly, I see someone else run into the room. It's the boy I met downstairs!

"What the hell is going on in here?" He yelled with a very angry tone in his voice.

The kidnapper was not scared; Alejandro had a bigger physique than him.

Alejandro yelled again "Answer me now or I will call the cops."

The man stayed silent and reached into his pocket.

HE HAS A GUN.

I immediately stand up from my chair and smash the bedside lamp on his head and he slumps.

I run to the phone and start dialing Alana's number and Alejandro says "I'll get some help."

"Okay." I whisper.

Alana didn't pick up.

I called Alana again and she picks up.

I scream "Help me please!" as this man grabs my leg and slams me on the ground. I manage to grip his shirt and it tears a little. He gets a hold of me and puts me onto his shoulder.

I am taken to the balcony almost 20 feet off the ground.

Jesus take the wheel.

He says "Go tell your friends about it."

I get a glimpse of a tattoo of a bed of roses on his torso and I feel myself going closer towards earth.

I am not going to make it.
