Kidnapped at age 15

Chapter 13

Alex's pov

Sitting here has gotten very awkward. Luke's father made fish for dinner but I choose to play with it instead of eat it. They both looked at me like I was mental.. I think Luke's father just didn't like that I was playing with the food he made me instead of eating it.

"Are you not hungry?" Luke's father asked me.

"I'm just not feeling so well. I think I'll go upstairs and lay down for a bit"

I got up from my chair and rushed upstairs. When I got to the room I quietly shut the door so they didn't think I was mad or upset at them. It as to weird for me to sit down there with them like that. I only one of their names but nothing about them.

I walked over to the dark red and gold bed and plopped down on top. Why is my life so difficult? I never asked for any of this to happen yet it did.

"Alex? Its Luke.. can I come in?" I heard Luke ask from outside the door.

I groaned in my head as I forced myself up from the bed. The door wasn't even fully shut when I went to open it. I opened door and there stood Luke leaning on the door way resting his head on his arm. I moved out of the way to let him in and he walked slowly in taking a seat on the bed.

"Are you alright?" Luke asked staring at me.

I looked down at the ground while closing the door then leaning on it.

"Just peachy" I said trying to be honest as possible. "I mean I've been better"

"Why did you eat your dinner? I haven't seen you eat anything today.."

"I just wasn't hungry, alright?" I hopped over onto the bed next to Luke.

"I know we hardly know each other but something tells me were going to end up being really good friends. You can tell me what's up"

I picked my head up and looked into Luke's eyes. They showed care and concern.

"I promise there isn't a lot to tell you. Its not that I don't want to talk about it, there's just not much for me to say. Thank you for caring though. There isn't very many people in my life that do"

"There isn't very many caring people in mine either" Luke started drawing patterns on the blanket.

"Looks like we have something in common" I joked.

Luke smiled and sighed.

"At least you have your parents" I said quietly.

"Well one parent. Where's yours?" Luke turned his body so he was facing me directly.

"That's a really long story" I scratched my head. "What do you mean you only have one parent?"

"My mom died a couple of years ago in a car accident"

"I'm so sorry-"

"LUKE! COULD YOU COME DOWN HERE FOR A SECOND PLEASE" Luke's father yelled from downstairs.

"Uh, I'll be back I guess"

I watched Luke leave the room and run down the stairs. I couldn't hear any talking through the thick wooden walls which made me kinda nervous I mean what if they were talking about me?

"Alex!"

Luke called my name from downstairs and he didn't sound exactly happy. I crept my way down stairs where both of them were. Luke and his father both had their eyes on the tv that was up on the wall. I gave them both a confused look and ran over to Luke. I went from confused to shocked after seeing what was on the screen. Once again there was my name and face up on the television with the headline kidnapped once again.
