A doctor came out the door.
'You should be able to see him now' He smiled
We rushed in.
Phil was sitting up, still bruised but looking happy.
'Oh my God, Phil' I cried, Dan was smiling, looking like his cheeks were about to burst.
He hugged us both.
The door opened from Behind us and we whipped our heads round to see who walked in.
'Joe?' I said
'Yeah, I heard about Phil, I had to see if he was ok'
'I'm fine' Phil said and smiled at him.
'That's good, listen, I was nothing to do with what they pricks did. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone, not even my worst enemy. Mark went back to America, Jack is still in the house.' As be said that, Jack walked In.
'Hey Jack' I said and hugged him.
'Hey Mel. Are you okay Phil?' He asked in his amazing accent.
Phil nodded and smiled at him.
JJ walked through the door.
'Get out' I said and Phil stared at him, fear in his eyes.
'I wanted to say I'm sorry' He started. 'Please just leave' Phil squeaked.
He left without another word.
We sat in silence as a monotone beep ruptured through the room.
Phil was lying down, not breathing. We were ushered out by panicky nurses.
Dan started crying.
'Please no, not Phil, please' He cried.
I hugged him as he sobbed in my arms.
'Not my Phil' He kept muttering. 'It will be fine' I had to reassure him.
My phone started to ring.
'Listen Dan, love, I will be back in a minute, I really need to take this call, it's important' I explained and he just nodded.
'Hello?'
'Hello, is this Melody Martinez?' The voice spoke through the phone.
'Yes, yes it is, who is this?'
'Its your sister'
'Which one' I did have more than one sister.
'Afton, I believe that's her birth name?'
'Um, yeah what about her?'
'I am with due regrets to inform you that she has passed away while in America. Your sister is flying over to stay with you for a while, I am very sorry to tell you this information' and with that they hung up.
Please God no. Not my sister, she was 15, too young to die.
I walked in, in shock.
Phil was fine, sitting up in his bed and Dan was by his side, holding his hand.
'Mel, what's up?'
'My sister, she...She is dead' I said, still in disbelief.
First my mother now my sister.
They looked at me, wondering why I hadn't broken down in tears yet.
I felt a rush of anger flood through me.
I let out a scream and punched the wall.
My vision was blurry and I hit my head.
'No...No, this is my fucking fault!' I yelled.
I pulled at my hair and fell to my knees.
People were trying to comfort me.
I pushed them off and stood up, sprinting out of the hospital.
I began to slow down. It was getting dark, why did I do that?
I can't leave Phil like that. I began to head back.
I walked by a group of people, they looked dodgey so I began to walk quicker.
I saw them point at me and walk towards me.
I began to jog a bit.
They were right behind me.
I ran as fast as I could but I couldn't get away. They grabbed me and I shrieked.
Someone put a hand over my mouth.
I struggled and struggled. A piece of cloth was placed over my nose and I felt myself collapse
Dan
It was 3 am and Mel wasn't back yet. She wasn't at her house either.
I was starting to worry. I rang her phone.
She picked up
'Dan, Dan please help. I'm in the middle of no where, I've been kidnapped' She sobbed.
Panicking rushed through me.
'Ok tell me where you are' I said with a shaky voice.
'I don't know but there was a church' She explained and I heard a shriek and a bang.
With that the phone line cut off.
Phil was allowed out of hospital tomorrow, which was great.
'Phil...Phil.' I said, shaking him slightly.
He woke up and rubbed his eyes.
'Mel...Mel has been kidnapped we need to find her'
2 weeks later
Mel
No one has found me. I have given up hope as I sit here tied to a bed.
I was skinny and beaten.
My head ached and so did my legs.
I heard sirens outside. A small spark of hope lit inside me.
They whizzed by, it wasn't for me.
'Hey babe' someone purred.
He sat down beside me and placed his hand on my inner thigh.
I whimpered in fear as he kissed my neck.
He began to undo my ropes.
He pushed my on the bed and I let out a grunt.
'Please leave me alone' I said with a pleading look in my eyes.
'MARK, GET DOWN HERE!' Someone screamed from downstairs.
'Be right back, then we can enjoy ourselves' He whispered in my ear.
I sat on the bed. I looked around the room.
The window as open.
I pulled it open and jumped on the porch roof.
I slipped off the tile and landed on the grass with a thud.
I let out a scream. I saw someone peer out the window.
I began to Sprint.
I was running for about 10 minutes when I decided to hop the fence.
I'm sure I could find someone round here.
I heard voices from around me.
I ran and found a small ditch. I climbed into it and hid with my back to them.
It was getting sort of dark now as the lights on the road flicked on.
I walked into a small forest which had a lane following through. I passed a small bridge which looked cool.
Why did I do this?
My sister would be in my house with Jack. Who now is apparently my room mate.
I saw a flashlight and ran.
I stumbled upon a tiny village.
I almost cried with joy.
I ran up to the most inviting house I could find.
I knocked on the door.
A girl about my age opened the door.
'Hi, I was just wondering if I could use your phone?'
'Come in. I will just ask'
I walked in the house and sat down on the couch.
'Hi love, what's the problem?' An oldish woman asked.
'I...I was kidnapped and I need to phone my best friend'
'Sure' She said and handed me the phone.
I dailed the number and an Irish voice picked up.
'Jack, is that you?' I said into the phone.
'Oh my God Mel, where are you?'
'I'm in a place called underton, can you come get me?'
'Yeah, it's a while away, so stay safe, I'm heading now'
'I will Jack, goodbye' and I hung up.
'You can stay here until your friend comes to pick you up, have a shower. I'm sure felicia will let you borrow some clothes.' The mum said and felicia nodded and smiled at me
'Oh, and I'm Susan' She said and shook my hand.
'Melody Martinez' I smiled at her.
'Wait, you are Melanie Martinezs sister?' Felicia asked.
'Yeah, I am'
'Wow, she is an amazing singer, and so are you' She smiled.
'Thanks you' I grinned.
'Okay, here are some towels, just go ask Felicia for some clothes after you are out the shower'
'Thank you' I said and walked upstairs and found the bathroom.
I was out of the shower. I knocked on Felicias door and she opened it up.
'Clothes are over there, I picked the nicest ones I could'
'Okay, again, thank you so much. I really need to repay you sometime. You could probably come to mine soon and I'll show you around London if you want'
'Really, here is my phone number, just phone me one time' She said and scrawled her phone number on a post it note.
A doorbell chime went through the house.
'Moooom' I boy shouted.
I walked out onto the landing.
A nerdy looking boy, fairly attractive stood in the hallway, he was EXTREMELY tall. I was looking up at him.
'Hey, I'm Xander' He said and shook my hand.
'Melody, or Mel, up to you'
'Hey Mel, your friend is here to pick you up, I looked out the window'
'Ok, nice meeting you' I explained and he handed me his phone number.
'Thanks' I said and smiled at him
I ran downstairs and Dan, Phil Jack and Joe.
'Oh God guys you are here' and they engulfed me in a group hug.
Joe stood last, still holding onto me.
I looked up at Joe and smiled.
He bent down and kissed me on the lips.
He put his hand on my waist.
'I...I love you' I said to him.
He seemed shocked.
'I love you too'
I was safe
