Chapter 18
Harry's pov
"Jaycie," I say," I think I should tell you what happened to me.
Her face shows curiosity and we both sit on the couch. Her focus doesn't leave me since she knows she is going to be the first one to find out what actually happened.
"It was two years ago," I start. I look down and take a deep breathe.
She grabs my hand and makes me look up at her. "It's okay, Harry. You can tell me anything," she reassured.
"I was sixteen years old."
*flashback* two years ago...
I sit on my bed and start to text my friend, Josh. We are both talking about this one girl that comes to our school. She is honestly one of the prettiest girls in school, maybe the prettiest. I put my phone back down and jut lay on my back, wondering when my uncle would be back from work. He usually comes home at around 5. He should be back in an hour. My phone started to ring, a blocked number. I pick up the phone and wait for a response.
"Hello?" I ask. All I hear is heavy breathing on the other side of the phone and then I hear a deep chuckle.
"Who is this?" I ask sternly.
"Watch your tone styles," the voice says from the other side.
I immediately stop talking and just listen. "Now you're going to do exactly as I say." "Why would I listen to you," I snap.
"Watch it boy. You're going to listen to me because you wouldn't want anyone of your little friends to get hurt now would you."
I froze at his words. What would be do to them. He can't hurt the people I love. What does he even want?
"Maybe you'll finally be silent. Now I have a job for you. I want you to go and get that little girl in your grade, Lena? The pretty one. Bring her to us and nothing will happen to you and your loved ones. If you refuse, you better keep an eye out for each one of your loved ones. Not that it would help much, you couldn't stop us if you tried." Us.. How many are there?
"Why do I have to do it?" I barked.
"Because I said your doing it. Don't worry that girl could never like you or your friend Josh anyway."
"Don't get near him!" I yell.
"Haha. We won't have too, if you just bring the girl."
"We'll I won't."
"Oh... Bad choice. We have one of your little friends here."
"Who?"
"Does it matter, you'll lose the rest soon enough and be left with nothing."
My heart starts pounding against my chest. What should I do?!? My hands are sweating and my breathing is all shaky.
"What will you do with Lena?" I ask.
"That's for us to know. Now are you doing it or not?"
A tear rolls down my face,"y..yes."
"Good, bring the girl to the back of the school at midnight. Tie her up and make her fall asleep with a cloth. We've mailed you the supplies. So go check. Leave her there am don't bring any cops. My men will be informed and you will be harshly punished. Got it."
"Yes," I say with tears running down my face. He hangs up the phone and I crumble on the floor. What am I going to do?
*a few hours later*
I leave Lena asleep on the ground and kiss her forehead.
"I'm so so sorry," i mumble hoping that somewhere in her mind she can hear me. I walk away crying all the way to my house. What have I done? I cry my eyes out and hope that this is all just a terrible nightmare.
*flash back ends*
"The guilt inside of me was tearing at me and I couldn't handle it. They used to call everyday and put Lena on the phone and she was cry and ask me how and why I did that to her. I was never given time to respond and everyday I would hear her sob. They sent me videos of what they would do to her and make her miserable. Eventually I had to move away. My uncle was starting to worry and when I told him what I did.... That's when he started drinking and saying I was a waste of space. I made him move everywhere because everything brought that moment back. Then at my last house they called again. I was scared out of my mind and I decided it was time to love out of the continent. I had locked away my emotions long before then, but it frightened me. So I ran, so my emotions wouldn't get the best of me and I wouldn't think about what a horrible piece of shit I am."
I was looking at my lap the whole time and when I finally look up I see that Jaycie backed away from me and she looks terrified.
"Jaycie, please," I say reaching out to her but she moves back. I feel the tears come on again.
"Jaycie, please. I didn't want to. I would never hurt you. I love you so much and I don't want you to be afraid of me. I want to keep you safe and I want you to feel safe with me. I'll protect you with my life. Please Jaycie. I don't want to lose you."
She doesn't look at me and I start to cry. I through my head into my hands and cry while pulling at me hair. I grunt. "Stupid, stupid, stupid," I mumble to myself.
I feel Jaycie sit closer to me.
"It's okay, Harry. I know you won't let anybody hurt me. I do feel safe. It's just a bit overwhelming," she says rubbing my back. I turn around quickly and bring her into my embrace. I hold her so tightly and I never want to let go.
"But, is that what the phone call was about," she asks worried.
"Kind of," I say.
She pulls away looking confused. "Then what is it?"
I feel the tears come on again. "They want you."
