Taken

Chapter 22

I stood still,like standing still would make everything disappear. All the trials in my life would vanish before my eyes. In my head, every memory played back. I couldn't help but feel sad, now that Manny knew I was a princess there was nothing I could of do. It was over, Manny would tie me up, bury me alive,, and go back to Persusa acting like I was dead, and rule. What depression the people would have to go through. 

I looked around to see the person standing infront of me with bright red hair, my mouth drop open, I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't. That two faced bastard! I wanted to yell out to the the girl standing in front of me, I can't believe it!

"Cat's got your tongue." she says smugly 

"Why would you do this?" I asked her

"Josh you didn't tell her?" she said smirking evily at me

My head snapped to his direction, " Tell me what?" 

"I'm guessing you didn't." she said, " Well....I guess I might just tell you now."

"What is going on here?" I said in confusion

The red-head girl smiled at me, " It all started the week right after you came..." she said pacing around, " and you were the target."

"I was--

"Shhh!" she said in a rude manner, " Let me continue. You were a target for many girls, because you were quote on quote beautiful", she said scoffing at the beautiful part, "I dared Josh....to toy with you." she said smiling at this part, " At first your little Joshie Woshie was all no I don't wanna hurt her feelings, but enventually he gave in."

I felt like I've been slapped in the face multiple times by the news I was hearing. So you mean everything Josh had told me was a lie. The kiss, and everything was just fake. I stared at Josh with water in my eyes, ready to burst out crying. I can't believe this was happening to me. I just can't.

"I hate you!" I yelled at Josh," I HATE YOU!!! "

I lunged at Josh pounding away at him! I just let the anger flow out of me. I kept punching and slapping him. Matthew finally got a hold of me and pulled me off of him. Josh had already gotten a few scratched from my long nails, but nothing much. I guess my hands were really small and weak and made no impact. 

Josh, in a way, seemed not phazed about what was happening. He was taking it like he deserved it. Well he did. I hate him. I DAMN SURE WELL HATE HIM. I can't believe he played me like that. What the hell was going on! Why the heck did I have to come here. I don't care, Icould of went to any other place, but why here? 

"Elina..." Matthew whispered in my ear, " Please calm down."

"NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled at him spining around with tearing in my face, " You don't understand. I loved him! Iloved him!. Butit was just a dare! You kissed me! You toyed with my feelings! You made me hurt Matthew!" 

Matthew grabbed my hands, " Elina please....

I removed it from his, " And you! Pretending to be my friend Taj! Does Jamie know you're a backstabber huh? Does she?"

Taj smiles and steps back walking out like her job here was done.Like putting me in emotional distress was all she came here to do. I can't believe she did that. I just can't. She was suppose to me my friend, instead she's just a two-faced female dog.

"I wanna go home!" i said grabbing Matthews hand.

Matthew nodds and holds my hand leading me down the dark hallway. His black eye was throbbing from the punch that Josh had gave him. Josh just stood there looking sad. When I looked back, I saw a stubborn tear escape from his eye. Matthew pulled me along, and pulled my head to back to where I  was going. 

********************

I ran upstairs and grabbed a suitcase I came in. I grabbed my before and after picture. The pearl earring my mom gave to me. I opened a draw and pulled out numerous card. One card from Jamie who gave it to me as a welcoming gift. I went through it and I stopped at one card. It was from josh.I was about to stuff it in my suitcase, when I snapped and just shredded the card to car snowflakes.I didn't want to have anything that reminded me of him. I snapped the shades he bought for me in half. 

I grabbed the suitcase and bounded for the front door. Until Jack appeared from the other side of it. He looked confused and concerned.

"Elina, where are you going?" he asked me grabbing my suit case but I yanked it away from it.

"I hate this place. I hate your son and I hate AMERICA!"

He softens, " I'm sorry. Elina but calm down explain to me what happened?"

"Ask your son. He played me like a fool and toyed with my feeling like I was some type of video game he could of played everyday."

"You and my son have a thing?" he said in a shocked manner

"We had a thing, matter fact the 'thing' was all a joke."

"I'msorry." 

"I'm leavingg!"I told him heading forthe  door. I swung it open and there stood a man with white hair on his head. He was dressed in slacks and a trench jacket. He stared at me deeply like he knew me for many years. He looked at me expecting me to say hi, and hug him.Instead I stand here speechless.To what was going on.

"Hi Elina." the man gruff voice said.
