Chapter 1: Sequels and Loneliness

(a/n) so I've probably picked the worst time ever to return to Wattpad XD I just accepted two jobs, so I'm going to be working a lot, and next week is a bunch of AP testing. I'm not sure how long I'll be on or when I'll be able to post, but I'll definitely try since I miss and love you guys so much. I hope that you enjoy this chapter!

I've always thought that sequels were better than prequels. For example, anyone who thinks that Despicable Me is better than Despicable Me 2 is a liar.

In this case, however, I much prefer the first time I got kidnapped. At least I was surrounded by my friends so I wasn't alone, and the two girls who kidnapped us weren't that crazy. The pretty one, Allison, was a lot like me. But she was also a liar, something I'm not, and that's what ended things between us. She probably thought that Despicable Me was better than Despicable Me 2, that's how much of a liar she was.

The other one, Reese... she was something else. She was like a puzzle, always difficult to figure out, but once you put the pieces together, it made a logical sense. I wanted to be the person who put the puzzle pieces together. Unfortunately, my best friend beat me to it.

Nobody saw that coming. I sure didn't. I thought that it would be Calum, of all people. He was my main concern, but he backed off pretty quick.

To be fair, I didn't put a lot of effort into it. Reese intimidated me, but that was one of the things that I liked most about her. She was different from other girls; she was cool, confident, funny, determined. I thought that she was the thing that I was missing. But I was wrong.

I didn't know that I was wrong, even though it was so obvious. I wanted to know if I was right, so I finally put effort in at the wrong moment. I knew that it was wrong, but I didn't know that it was wrong. Does that make sense?

I might as well just dive right into it, because I'm confusing myself. That happens sometimes.

Well, this is how I ruined my life, all in under two minutes.

*~*~*~*

I could hear Reese and Michael making out in the other room, and the sound sickened me.

It sickened everyone, to be fair. It was absolutely disgusting, the way they moaned each other's names, said "Cool? Cool" all the time, dyed their hair the same color, and got matching tattoos. They really were the ultimate couple, the one every pair strived to be, the one every loner wished they could be in.

I hated it.

I felt like they were rubbing their togetherness in my face, especially since I was still trying to get over Allison. Everyone thought that I had gotten over her the day that she broke up with me, but that was a lie. I had really, really cared about her, but she had never cared about me.

On the other hand, with THEM, I remembered nights when Michael would stay up, toss and turn in his bed, and ask me if I was still awake. When I said yes, he would tell me how much he liked Reese, how beautiful she was, how much he wanted to be with her, but he couldn't fall for his kidnapper, that was some fanfiction crap right there. I had told him that it would pass, but nope, I could feel it, too. I wanted it to pass over him, but it never did. Maybe I had been a good friend, but that left me to suffer the consequences.

I was about to yell at them to shut up and get a room (even though they were in the room next door) when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out and nearly screamed.

Oh yeah, there's something I forgot to mention: on top of being unloveable, I was forced to be with someone I didn't even like to make myself lovable. According to management, anyway. Where was the logic in that?
