My One Life, My One Heart

Chapter 22- "Help!"

Alexis POV:

     Ronnie and I were at a coffee shop getting some more breakfast food. It's so embarassing that he tells all these other people that I'm his girlfriend. We were in line waiting to order.

"Welcome to Coffee Corner. What can I get you two?" the cashier asked. He was pretty built. He looked over at me, then Ronnie.

"What do you want, BABE?" he emphasized the babe. I rolled my eyes.

"I- I guess I'll have a Boston Kreme donut and French Vanilla coffee."

"That sounds good, can I get a number 1, 4, 5, and a number 8?"

"Wow, you're fat..." I mumbled.

"What was that, cupcake?" he seethed through his teeth and aggresively grabbed my hand.

"I said t-thank you."

"Excuse me, that'll be $15.35." the cashier interrupted.

      Ronnie nodded his head and started digging through his pants. He was looking in his pockets. He wasn't looking. YES! This would be the perfect chance to get help. I looked up at the cashier and waved to him to get his attention. He looked up.

"HELP" I mouthed to him. He looked confused and turned his head.

"Help me! I was kidnapped!" I mouthed again. His eyes widened and quickly nodded his head.

     The cashier told another employee to call the police. I was still standing here next to Ronnie. He still hasn't found his money. Is he really that dumb?

"Babe, can you pa--" he was cut off by the cashier tackling to the ground, holding him down.

"Go! RUN! GET OUT OF HERE!" the cashier screamed to me.

     I stole Ronnie's phone that he had dropped from his hand and I ran out of the building. All sorts of looks were coming in my direction as I was running. I looked back, and I saw Ronnie getting beat up. Thank the lord, he doesn't deserve to live on this earth. I was hearing faint police sirens coming from the left and right of me. 

"Fewww." I breathed out, relieved.

I dialed Brooke's number.

Ring...

Ring...

"Hello?"

"Brooke! Brooke, it's Alexis!!"

"Oh my god what is wrong with you? Where were you? You've been gone for 3 months! I was about to call the police! And you weren't answering your pho--"

"OKAY, okay chill out. Just pick me up from Coffee Corner, okay? I'll tell you what happened during the ride home."

"Sure... want to sleepover tonight? Only if you want to."

"I- I wish I could. But I'm not feeling it... I've gotta do some thinking. Anyway, I'll see you soon."

"Okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes. Bye"

--Convo ends--

     I looked back at Coffee Corner. The police took Ronnie away in handcuffs. I knew he was staring at me. His eyes burned into my flesh. There was blood all over his face. He entered the police car, and together the cars zoomed off. I was so relieved. He was gone, forever. Out of my life because he'll never be able to find out where I live or where Justin lives. He doesn't know that I moved.

     Suddenly, I grew really upset. I missed Justin too much. It's tough not seeing him by your side. Just yesterday I woke up, and whispered "Hey, Justin. Guess what? I love you!!" and I started crying because he wasn't there. He was locked up in a cold place where I could'nt see him for most of the year. I came back to reality and noticed my face was wet and Brooke was beeping her horn.

"Get in the car, Lex!" she shouted and giggled.

"Oh my god Brooke!" I got inside and hugged her.

"Okay, and why are you crying? You're getting your tears on my new cardigan!"

"I'm sorry and no reason... so on with the story..."

*12 minutes later*

"... And now I'm free. He won't be looking for me anytime soon. I'm totally safe. I've escaped."

Brooke was crying.

"I'm so... so sorry. I should've called the police sooner. I can't believe Justin's in jail.. Thank god you're alive." she attacked me with a hug.

"Awww Brooke you're gonna make me cry again..." I said in a low voice.

     I opened the car door and got out. I waved to her as she pulled out and she beeped in reply. I sighed and made my way onto the front porch. I took the key from under the mat and opened the door. I heard sniffles and sobs.

"My baby is missing... she's gone." a familiar voice said.

"Mom? DAD? Oh my god!" I shouted. I ran up to them and hugged them so tight.

"ALEXIS! HONEY WHERE WERE YOU? WE CAME BACK 2 MONTHS AGO! WE'VE BEEN SO WORRIED! I love you so much!" my dad said.

"Mom, dad... you remember Ronnie, right?" they nodded.

"Well, here's how the whole situation started..."
