Cutting And Kidnapped

Chapter 12

Chapter 11:
Kenzie's POV-

As we get out of the hospital, I notice Lexy isn't with us. Strange.

Cole questions this aloud, speaking my thoughts. "Where the fuck is Lexy?!"

"I'm sure she's fine," I reply as I pat his shoulder. "She might've got a ride home- being in the hospital isn't her favorite pastime." I remind him. Lies. You know that she isn't alright.

She's fine.

If she was fine, she would've let someone know that she left. She didn't.

I'm sure she's fine.

No-

"KENZ!" Jack yells, shaking my shoulders violently, bringing me out of my little talk with myself.

"What babe?" I kiss him passionately, holding him close.

Once we break the kiss, Cole asks if he should drive and that we can make out in the backseat. Jack and me, being us, say yes.

We walk out to the car, which must've had the back seat cleaned out a bit- before I gained unconsciousness earlier, I noticed I was bleeding a lot in the car.

Anyhow, we get in the car. I feel really bad for the whole hospital thing. No one knew until today. They wouldn't have known if I didn't pass out. Even Jack didn't know.

Jack, Cole, and Lexy don't know why. Even I don't. I'm done with it. But I have a few reasons why.

A few years back, when I was 12, 13, and 14 years old, I would always get blamed for everything. Dishes weren't washed- Kenzie's fault. Don't know where my older brother is- Kenzie's fault. My room isn't completely perfect- my fault yet again. I'm fat- my fault that I can't choose what we buy in my abusive household. I would get yelled at for the simplest things. Things out of my control even.

It's usually the older sibling getting yelled at. Not in my family.

Then my mom got a boyfriend. He treated me like shit. Called me a piece of shit, an asshole, and yelled at mom a quite a bit. But the day before he left, he hit my mom to the point where she had to go to the hospital.

I cried myself to sleep night after night. I used to talk to Lexy about these problems. But after a while, I closed her off too. So it was just me dealing with my own problems- I didn't like putting any stress on Lexy. I know she hated me complaining about it anyways.

The time I had asked my mother to see my actual father, whom I hadn't seen in a few years, was the first night. I got yelled at for wanting to see my own father!

But this had to be my fault, right? Everything else was. So I blamed myself. And that's the first time I-

"Kenz?" Jack questions while holding my chin up to look in my eyes.

I look back at him and wrap my arms around his neck to bring him closer for a kiss. He sucks on my lip, which he knows I love. Jack also knows I love when he touches my hips or shoulders. This time he opted for my hips since my shoulders were sore from two nights ago.

I get on his lap sometime between then and now and I realize I'm automatically grinding on him as he moves his fingers on my hips to decide how fast I move.

I may act dominant, but only for him will I be submissive.

The thoughts of Lexy keep flooding in my mind. Her family? Cole showed me the text she sent for a brief moment. I wish it was longer, it looked weird but I'm probably overreacting. But her family? Seriously? That's bull. shit. Honestly, she talks to none of her family anymore. Only her cousin, barely.

We get home and Jack sensed something a while ago while we were in the car. He assumed it was what just happened at the hospital, thank god, cause I wasn't about to explain this.

Lexy isn't okay. She needs me. She needs us. I know something's wrong.

"G-guys, I'm gonna go for a little drive to...keep my mind off of things," I say with a blank expression, obviously not being able to hide much once my secret was out.

Jack muttered an okay, trying to hold himself back from forcing me to stay, or that he's going with me.

Without saying anything, Cole brought me further into the house, into a room where jack wouldn't hear him before he started talking. "Kenz I know you don't feel good with all that happened and I know damn well that you aren't just going to drive to keep your mind off things. I know you. I need you to tell me the truth about what's going on and I need you to tell me now. Or else you aren't stepping foot out of this house," he says, using a tone he never had to use on me.

I couldn't say anything, my eyes were already tearing up.

"Come 'ere, it's okay," Cole says, his arms letting me into his hold, calming me down a little bit. Not enough to think completely straight, but enough to speak.

"Alexis doesn't see her family anymore. It can't be good. I cant... she... I... we need... t-to help her," I say, getting worked up once more.

Cole calms me down a little bit somehow, and he just sits with me in silence for a little bit. He knows she's not okay.

------

The cops came for a while asking us only a few questions. We filed a report and they told us they'd be back a bit later, maybe an hour.

They came back and we looked at the text.

"Alexis: hey baby. I'm okay. I was taken but that's okay. They're family and taking care of me. I'm being monitored while using my phone. Catfis. Browni mix. Lolipops. Black peper. Mushroons. Instant potatos. Just letting you know things you need to get at the store later. Love baby."

Catfish. The H is missing.
Brownie mix. The E is missing.
Lollipops. The L is missing.
Black pepper. The P is missing.
Mushrooms. The M is missing.
Instant potatoes. The E is missing.

Help me. Fûck. It wasn't until the police came back until we found that out. God dammît. I knew it.

And the investigation started.

Hey guys, I've been really busy and I've felt a lot better recently because I've found a few more people who make me feel amazing. Not saying I didn't have people before but I've found more people that I can fall back on. Plus I've started high school so I'm quite busy with that as well.

I know these aren't excuses that I should be using, but I thank everyone who's still with this story.

And as much as I liked writing this book, I've lost some interest since I've been recovering more than I've done before.
