Hidden Love

Chapter 25

Amaya P.O.V

Ashley came barging into the restroom.

"What have yall been doing?" Ashley asked. "I heard yall got into a fight?" Kaitlyn and I busted into laughter.

"Yea it was pretty funny." I said. Then Ashley started laughing too and we came together into a group hug. Then i got text that said :

Meet me outside the gym. -Travis

I showed the text to Kaitlyn and Ashley and they asked should they come with me, but I told them to stay behind because I don't know what will happen when I go to those gym doors. When I got to the gym no one was there I looked all around the corner , down the hall, everywhere but no one was there. I started to walk off then I heard a voice.

"Where are you going baby?" Travis asked. Then I stopped but I didn't say anything.

"What's up with all these pictures that I see? Are you cheating on me?" Travis asked.

"No, I wasn't cheating on you because we aren't together anymore." I said.

"What do you mean, we aren't together anymore? I don't remember me breaking up with you." Travis said.

"Well, it should have been pretty obvious when you came in my house drunk and tried to beat me." I said.

"Do you really think that I'm just going to go away forever? I will get what I want." Travis said. "We're not done." Then he just walked away down the hallway. I watched him walking out of the school doors as soon as the door closed I broke down. I fell to my knees and started crying. My life is like a soap opera, I never get a break.

Chresanto P.O.V

I was in this boring math class when I hear soft sobs coming from the hallway. I don't know who it is but I'd rather be out there with them instead of in here. So I ask the teacher could I go to the restroom. Then I left the class when I got out there I see Amaya on her knees crying I ran to her getting on the floor with her and started rubbing her back.

"It's going to be ok. Everything will get better." I said. She cried harder and harder.

"At least tell me why your crying." I said. It took her a minute but she finally starting talking.

"Travis won't leave me alone. I think he wants me dead. I'm just tired of my life being like this. I can't live like this anymore." Amaya said.

"Don't worry. Travis won't mess with you anymore. I promise." I said. The thoughts revolving in my head weren't good ones but I had to do what I had to do.

I got Amaya's phone and texted Travis saying :

Meet me tomorrow at 6:00 by the abandoned building on Cray Street. See ya there.

Now he will think Amaya is asking to meet him when in reality a couple people and I will be meeting him there.

*The next day*

It was 5:50 and Ray, Jacob, Craig, Myles and I were all at the building ready to catch Travis. We all had on mask and bulletproof vest just in case he tried pull something. Then we heard him.

"Amaya? Amaya where are-" Travis was saying but he got cut off with Jacob hitting him with a pipe then Ray and Myles tying a bag around his head. Then we all picked him up and brought him into the warehouse and tied him to a chair. 30 minutes later he woke up struggling trying to get out of the chair.

"Why am I here?" Travis asked.

"Oh, don't play stupid with me Travis. You know exactly why your here. You messed with Amaya so now were going to mess with you." I said. Then Craig went across the room and got some gasoline and a lighter.

"Please don't kill me." Travis said.

"Who put you up to all this? Why are you doing this to Amaya?" I asked.

"Ok, well this girl named Madison she's paying me to hurt Amaya." Travis said. "Just please don't kill me."

"Oh I won't kill you. Your going to do it yourself. You have 3 options. You can pour this gasoline on yourself then burn yourself, you can overdose on these pills or we could just leave you here with no food or water so eventually you will die off." I said. I felt bad for him honestly. We were basically letting him die but he tried to beat Amaya to death so I guess its karma.

"I choose option number 3." Travis said.

"Terrific choice. It was not nice knowing you Travis." I said as we all walked out. Hopefully he won't find his way out.

The next day on the news something shocked me. The story was.

A 17 year old boy named Travis Jones was pronounced dead this morning at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Last night he overdosed on pills in an successful attempt to commit suicide. He was found laying outside an abandoned building on Cray Street. We're not sure why he was suicidal but he did leave a note saying: I'm sorry Amaya. Please forgive me. -Travis.

Travis gone. Check

My guilt level all the way up. Also Check.
