TWENTY

- SEAN'S POINT OF VIEW -

I had just driven up Hala'a driveway and was now walking up to her doorstep. I rang the doorbell but no one answered. That's weird, I thought she was home. Well of course she's home her car is parked out front. I rang the doorbell once more but nobody came. I peaked threw the window and saw her just sitting there, staring at, well nothing.

I knocked on the window, trying to get her attention. She turned, looked at me then glared and turned back. What did I do? I decided to text her so I reached in my pocket for my phone but it wasn't there. What? I looked all through my jacket pockets, along with my pants pockets but it wasn't there.

God damn it.

- HALA'S POINT OF VIEW -

I ignored Sean the whole time and just sat there. I was seriously ticked off. My phone beeped, so looking at it I saw Sean had texted me. I sighed and decided to read it and that was probably a BIG mistake. I angrily slammed my fist on the table. Who does he think he is?

Stop being such a freakin bitch!

I got up, stomping my way over to the door and pulled it opened. He smiled at me but that smile disappeared as soon as my hand made contact with his face.

"Ow!" He yelped, holding his cheek. "Why did you do that?"

I glared. "For calling me a bitch! And this-" I slapped him across the face again but this time the other side. "-Is for cheating on me with that skank!"

"Hala-"

I held up a finger. "I don't wanna hear it."

"No plea-"

"No." I closed the door but it was stopped by his foot. He pushed it back open.

"I'm not going anywhere until you let me explain." He looked at me desperately.

"Fine." He smiled thankfully and walked in and sat in the living room.

"Explain." I said, once he took a seat.

"Well for starters, I did NOT cheat on you."

I raised an eyebrow. "Really? Then what the hell is this?" I showed him the picture "A" had sent me earlier. His eyes grew big and he stood up.

"You got it all wrong! Katrina threw herself at me! She kissed me! And I shoved her away-" I cut him off.

"Why were you over there in the first place?!"

"She has really pushed it too far and someone really needed to talk to her. I went over there to try and fix things. I already told you, I'm going to protect you with my life no matter what! And don't worry, I left her with a small threat." He smirked a little.

"What did you say...?" He walked closer towards me.

"I told her if she tried something like this again, she would be the one getting strangled the next time." He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug.

I sighed. "Thank you, but how many times do I have to tell you to stay out of it?"

"How many times do I have to tell you, not a chance." He whispered in my ear.

I groaned. He suddenly pulled away. "By the way I didn't call you a bitch."

"You texted me that."

"I don't have my phone, I lost it." He frowned.

"If you didn't text me then that means-" I was cut off by my phone beeping again. I looked down.

That's right bitch, I got your little boyfriend's phone -A

I looked up at Sean, then showed him the text. He then slapped his hand over his forehead. "Oh for god sake." He mumbled. He then turned around and started walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"To get my phone back." He growled.

"Then I'm coming with you."

He stopped in his tracks. "No you're not." I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of him.

"I'm coming whether you like it or not." I simply said, before pulling him out the door.

*****

We both walked up to Katrina's doorstep and rang the doorbell countless times. The door finally opened. Katrina smiled at Sean but as soon as her eyes landed on me, she sent daggers at me.

"What do you want?" She hissed at me. I rolled my eyes and didn't say anything. Sean stuck his hand out.

"My phone."

"I don't have it." I looked down and saw that Sean's hands were now clenched.

"Stop lying! I know you took it, now just freakin give it back or I'll do what I told you earlier RIGHT NOW."

She sighed. "Fine." We both started to walk but she stopped us.

"Not you." She said, pointing to me.

"No, she's coming with me." Sean took my hand in his. Katrina was about to protest but I cut her off.

"It's fine, I'll stay out here." Sean gave me a look but I just gave him a little shove towards the door.

"Just go, and hurry up." He sighed and walked into the house along with Katrina.

The door shut and I sighed. After about 5 minutes, I began tapping my foot impatiently. What was taking him so long? All of a sudden I heard a rustling noise in the bush. I quickly looked over but the sound stopped. I furrowed my eyebrows and walked a little closer towards the door, beginning to feel paranoid. I felt a presence behind me, so I quickly turned around but nobody was there. I took another deep breath. Hala you're just paranoid, don't let it get to your head.

But I spoke to soon. Someone grabbed me from behind and placed a cloth over my mouth, so I wouldn't scream. I tried to scream while I kicked and squirmed. The longer the cloth was on my mouth, I began to see darkness. I struggled and struggled, beginning to lose power but I had enough to bang against the door before everything went black.
