Chapter 6: Suspicions

Alexa's POV:

I woke up, I was tied up in the same position, same place. The man was still in front of Heather, her cheek red from being slapped. The dream is continuing. "Heather!" I screamed again, but another man came from the shadows, taping my mouth shut. I mumbled through the tape, but I couldn't understand my own words. I started licking the tape, trying to loosen it. "Leave me alone!" Heather struggled to get out of the rope. "But you see, I can't let you go" I almost had the tape off. "Burn in hell" she sputtered, pissing the man off. He punched her square in the stomach, leaving her gasping for air. I blew the tape off my mouth, "Over here, bitch!" I called him, but he called the other man over to me, and he slapped me, sending a stinging pain through my cheek. The other man untied Heather, dragging her into the shadow. "No! Leave me alone! Help!" she screamed helplessly, "Nooo!" I tried to untie myself, but the man next to me punched me, blacking everything out. Soft voices were calling me, "Alexa, Alexa!" I woke up and jolted upright, hitting Tre in the forehead. "Fuck!" he yelled, falling off the couch. "Alexa! Are you alright!" Heather came rushing towards me, I realized that there were tears rolling down my face. "Yea I'm fine, just a nightmare" she hugged me, "What was it about?" I hesitated, I couldn't tell her about my dream. "Nothing, just something stupid" she rubbed my forehead, it was throbbing. "I'll get them some ice" Mike ran into the kitchen, "Hey, what happened?" Billie came into the living room, buttoning up his shirt, and finishing up his tie. "Bad dream" Heather repeated, handing me the ice Mike gave her, "Ohh, was it from the movie yesterday?" Tre got up, crawling near me. I slapped him with my bag of ice, "Go away fucktard" he giggled, scurrying off into the bathroom. "I'm just going to get dressed, I'll be fine" I went upstairs, put on a pair of shorts and a black shirt. I did my regular morning routine, then went back downstairs, Heather in her room getting ready. Billie walked up to me, "Hey, were going shopping downtown, you wanna come? Just don't bring Tre" I nodded, trying not to look stressed. Heather came down wearing shorts, and a tight fitting tanktop, with her usual black makeup and red lipstick, "Hey you're coming right Alexa?" she smiled at me, "Yep" I relaxed my shoulders. "Alrighty, let's go then" she walked out the door, holding Billie's hand, and I walked next to her. We got in the car, and drove away, the whole time I was quiet, thinking about the dream. When we got to our destination, we got out of the car, and walked down the sidewalks, looking at all the stores and restaurants. "Hey, why are you so quiet?" Heather looked at me, I shrugged, "Just thinking" she gave me a suspicious look,then turned back around. My feet started to hurt, but I kept it to myself, letting the other two have fun. I kinda wish I brought Tre, it's boring without him, but it's so cute, the way these two act together. We all sat on a bench, I watched them as they held hands laughing, foreheads together. I looked forward, trying not to be a creeper, then I spotted someone sitting on a bench, on the opposite side of the street. It was the... The man from my dreams, the one who hurt Heather, and the other man walked up to the bench, sitting down with him. I got up and dashed to the trash can nearest to me, Heather and Billie looking over and rushing to me. I threw up, many times, trying not to look back at the man. I sat down with my back to the trash can, holding my knees up to my face. "Alexa!" Heather kneeled down next to me, Billie doing the same on my other side. "We should get her home" Heather helped me up, hugging me close. "You're shaking Alexa! Something is wrong" I shook my head, pushing her away, "No I'm just a little sick" I walked to the car, the others following silently behind. On the car ride home, I decided to fall asleep, tired from throwing up. I woke up again, tied up, Heather still screaming, "Heather no!"

Billie's POV:

When we parked the car, Alexa was still asleep, "I'll get her" I whispered, opening the car door and picking her up, careful not to wake her. Heather opened the door for me, shutting Tre up before he could yell. "What's wrong with her?" Mike asked, feeling her forehead, "We don't know, she just threw up" Heather explained what happened, everyone following upstairs into her room. Heather pulled up the blanket, letting me lay her down, and then wrapping the blanket back around her. "I'll stay in here with her" Tre quietly laid down in the bed, wrapping his arms around her. Mike left the room, "I'm going to bed guys, night" I walked out of the room with Heather, she stopped me in front of her room. "You could come sleep in my room if you want" I nodded, at least she trusts me. "Let me go get into my pajamas" she walked into her room, turning on the light. I quickly ran down stairs, slipping into my pajamas and running back upstairs. She was already in her pajamas, slipping under the sheets, I quickly jumped into the bed with her, hugging her closely. "Hey, do you think Alexa is hiding something?" she asked me, holding my hand that was on her stomach, "I'm not sure, but it was a bit suspicious" she shook her head, "I don't know, I'll ask her tomorrow" she laid her head down on her pillow, I kissed her cheek before doing the same. She sighed, and before I knew it, my eyes shut, falling asleep. When I woke up, Heather was gone. I got up and walked out of the room, I heard noises coming from the bathroom. I walked in, Alexa was throwing up, Heather and Mike were comforting her. I looked out the bathroom and peered into Alexa's room, Tre was still sleeping. "Did she eat something bad? Why is she still throwing up?" I was confused, she just started throwing up out of nowhere. Alexa finally stopped, laying down on the bathroom floor, "Alexa, you're hiding something, you need to tell me" tears from throwing up so much started forming, "It's just that stupid movie, it was disgusting, all the blood" I knew that wasn't why, she was laughing at it the whole time. "Alright, but you need to go lay down in bed, we're here for you" Alexa stood up, shaking alot, Heather and Mike helped her to her room. I whacked Tre in the head "Get up Tre, Alexa needs to rest" he mumbled, and turned around. I grabbed his feet and drug him off, "AHH!" he yelled, hitting the floor, "Oh, sorry" he quickly got up and ran out of the room. "I'll go get ice" Mike walked out of the room, Heather helping her lay down. "Just get some sleep, I'll be back in a bit ok?" she felt her head, "She doesn't feel any different" something is going on, but she's not telling us. All I could do is help Heather with taking care of her, Mike came back in with the ice, "Here" he handed it to Heather, who handed it to Alexa. She was already asleep, so she set it besides her pillow.

Heather's POV:

I just can't figure out what's wrong with her, she won't tell me. I set the bag of ice besides her pillow, then stood up, walking over to Billie. I hugged him, "I don't know what to do Billie, I have no clue what happened" he kissed me lightly, reassuring me it would be ok. "Let's get out of here and let her rest" I nodded, even though I didn't want to leave her. Billie walked down the stairs with me, then sat down on the couch next to me. "So you guys have no clue what it is?" Mike sat down confused, and Tre sat down next to him, "I heard her whimpering in her sleep" he admitted, finally. "Oh really, anything else?" he put a thinking face on, "She was mumbling stuff, like 'Heather, no' and 'somebody help' " ok, so she was lying to me. "Thanks Tre, I can ask her later" if she will tell me, I mean, she's my best friend, she can tell me anything. Maybe I can take her shopping on friday, it's only Wednesday, that will give her time to rest.
