When Worlds Collide ~ A PTX love story

Chapter 31

I am not gonna try to edit I'm too tired but if there's a mistake try to figure it out. *Context Clues*

Bre POV
Caleb and I ran toward the jungle away from the men. My panting breath soon stopped as we leaned against a tree. "Caleb," I trembled, "where are we?" He nodded and told me he didn't know. But he said he would get us home.

~a week later~

"I don't even think they're looking for us, Caleb. Sometimes, I think they forgot about us." I sighed thinking of our friends back home. He grabbed my hand and softly spoke to me.

"I'm sure they're looking I mean they are our friends."

~ a week and a half later~

I gasped loudly and made a mad dash for the shore. "Caleb! A plane!"

~

The plane definitely noticed us. Few hours later, a helicopter came. They provided us with food and water. We told them all that happened.

~

The cops got involved with all of this and now Matt is locked up for good. All I wanted to do was see Leenie. Caleb and I walked hand-in- hand to our upstairs apartment.

I grabbed the spare key and opened the door. There was no one inside. "We should just wait here until they come. I'm sure they will soon." Caleb and I brushed up with reality. We put on our own clean clothes and took real showers.

A clammer of footsteps was heard in the hallway. My eyes widened and I ran out to the living room. The door creaked open. 4 unhappy faces greeted me.

"Where have you been for a whole month?" One of them asked me.

I nervously grabbed the end of my shirt. "We were kidnapped and sent to Africa." Caleb entered the room and nodded.

I heard Mitch whisper to them, "Wherever they must've been it turned their brains to mush." I ignored the comment because I saw a hint of plastic hidden behind Breanna's legs.

My smile widened. My baby girl..... "I can take Leenie now." I stated and rushed toward Breanna. She put the baby behind her even farther. She snapped at me not letting me have the child.

Before I could tell her the truth, she was already gone.

Caleb's ears were steaming. "She comes in here thinking she can take our child from us. She didn't even let us explain, or believe us!" I grabbed onto the couch. My throat started to close and my brain shuttered.

My body shook and I screamed. Images and flashes of the survival in the jungle entered my mind. My heart started to race.

In the flashback, Caleb was climbing a fruit tree. The branch snapped and made him fall to the ground. When this happened, I was almost sure I was going to be alone.

My vision started to align and Caleb sat in front of me petrified.

~

Caleb has been drinking all day but all I have been doing is sitting on the couch. I've been waiting for another one of those flashbacks. A knock was on the door and the door opened.

Breanna gave me Leenie and all I could do was smile. Leenie started crying when she entered my arms from my lack of communication with her.

Shortly after Breanna left, Leenie was smiling and giggling all over again. Caleb didn't have any idea his daughter was here. He had been throwing his bottles on the couch to keep for later. So I put Leenie on the floor in her carrier.

A blight flash of white entered my vision from the flash of a camera, my body jerked. I was having another flashback. My body shook and my memories filled my mind.

The second flashback was Caleb was hovering over me with almost white sunlight behind him. He looked horrible with sunken cheeks and hollow eyes. This image stayed in my head for a long time.

~
A slap across the  face snapped me into reality. Breanna has glaring at me with the whole band behind her. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" She screamed. Broken glass was everywhere around me and Leenie was in Scotts arms.

"Honestly I don't know. Where's Caleb?" I asked.

Breanna got up in my grill. "How should I know? Do you know that your daughter has been crying? You don't deserve her as a child! You left for a month! We sure as hell don't believe your Africa story." My face turned red.

I balled my fists. "The truth is I was watching Eileen on the floor because Caleb had his old beer bottles on the couch. I didn't want her to get hurt. A blinding light enter my vision, I had a flashback from Africa. It was scary and I just got out of the zone. I'm not drunk. Honestly, I don't know what happened."

Aislyn walked up next to Breanna. "You're such a liar! You weren't really in Africa! Where were you?" My face was steam red by then.

"I'm going to do this not because I want to. But so you'll believe me." I lifted my shirt to show my hollow stomach. The ribs were outlined and my waist barely noticeable. Everyone gasped and some looked away. Then, I lifted my pant leg to show the scars from the bushes. "Matt kidnapped us for trade for guns. Caleb and me ran away into the jungle. We were counting on you guys to help us but you didn't! The cops received no calls about us or our disappearance. You all were are only hope and why we kept going. Finally, we were saved."

I scurried around the coffee table and picked up paper. "Here's Matt's arrest papers and our alibi to the cops." The papers flew across the room and landed in front of them.

After silence, Mitch tried to walk over to me. "Bre, I'm sorry for saying th-" My head whipped towards him.

"Can it," I looked towards Scott. "Give me my child." He gave me Eileen and he tried to apologize as well. When I declined his apology, he ran out of the room crying with Breanna, Mitch, and Aislyn trailing behind.

Kirstie, Avi, and Kevin walked towards me. Kirstie spoke first, "We knew something was wrong but they refused to call. We think that they were too in love with the fact they were watching over a baby." Kevin walked towards the kitchen. He came back with cleaning tools.

"This isn't a safe place for a baby let's clean up." He smiled. Avi nursed Eileen while the rest of us cleaned up.

Kirstie agreed to stay with me for the night to watch Eileen. She only agreed because of my recent flashbacks. In the morning, she's taking me to a doctor.

Still though. There was no sign of Caleb.
