Kidnapped • REVISING

You Don't Understand

"Why?" I ask almost about to run towards Gabriella's lifeless body when Francisco pulls me back with a tight grip. I turned back towards him. Trying to pry his hand off of mine, but he wasn't letting go.

"Sage, she had a gun pointed at the both of us. I don't care whether you two had some sort of bond. But it's bullshit. Because she was going to kill you and I." Francisco says starting to loosen his grip. Bitting my lower to prevent myself from tearing up.

I ripped myself away from Francisco. Walking towards Gabriella's body. I hovered over her body. Her glasses were cracked and there was a red spot directly where her chest was.

There was blood slowly oozing out from her back as it turned the creamy carpet to crimson red. I see her gun a couple inches from her left hand.

Francisco could've been right. Maybe she was trying to get me to be comfortable with her, just to betray me. Shutting my eyes for five seconds, opening them back up turning around to see Francisco putting in more rounds.

I walked towards him, Julia appears through the doorway. She looked at me giving me a cold stare, I just gave her a blank one. Still processing what happened to Gabriella.

"Great, you found Sage. Now we can go." Julia says checking out her platinum pistol. Francisco nods putting his gun back into his vest. He stopped leaning against the wooden chair.

He follows behind Julia as she turned the other way, starting her way down the hall. Giovanni wasn't home, good. Francisco leans out of the doorway.

"Are you coming?" He says impatiently. I nodded walking towards him. Francisco continues walking down the hall. Which was dimmed. Julia was much ahead. She stopped waiting for Francisco to catch up.

I just had my arms folded, but in a lose and lazy type of way. Just walking slowly behind them. We had reached the front of the estate as Francisco opened the door.

"Come on Julia, we are going my office so I can show you some things." Francisco says leading Julia way from the kitchen. I stood there still feeling out of place.

As I started pulling off my black slip-ons, I hear a door being opened. I looked to see who it was. Sofia. She glances up to see me.

"Sage." Sofia mouthed, rushing over towards me, pulling me into a strong embrace. I wrapped my arounds her awkwardly.

"I am so glad you're okay." Sofia says pulling away from the embrace as she held onto my arms.

"I missed you so much." I reply.

"The other boys aren't home, but we are planning on throwing you a welcome home party." Sofia offers.

"That's is not necessary." I say. Sofia still continuing to smile even after my response.

"Fine. Well I am just glad you are home. A week was too long." Sofia replies.

"I'll wait until the guys are home and before then, I will be in my room organizing clothes." I bubbled.

"Okay." Sofia says walking over to the kitchen. We both parted our ways, as I headed towards the stairs.

I can't believe after a week of being gone, Francisco caught feelings for Julia. Like really! I had to admit it was jealousy.

Reaching the top of the steps, coming face to face with Francisco's bedroom door. That did not make me feel better one bit. Turning right to go down the hall, which was illuminated because of Jazz's and the bathroom door were opened.

Reaching my bedroom door. Turning the knob to open the door. My bedroom was revealed. Nothing had changed. It was the same as it was before I was gone.

I pushed my body against the door, causing the door to close. I leaned off the door making my way to my closet. I opened the door. All my clothes and shoes were in the right place.

As I was skimming my clothes. My phone notification went off. Stopping myself from searching through my clothes. I walked over to my phone. I see it was an iMessage, in the corner of the screen it said, AT&T LTE.

Unlocking my phone, immediately clicking on the phone app. Dialing 9-1-1. My finger hovered above the green phone icon. I shut my eyes, stopping myself from continuing.

They all trusted you. Even Francisco. The one who took everything away from me at first. But I got my data back. If I took everything they had away from them. I would feel horrible, not anyway satisfied.

I turned off my phone. All of the sudden my emotions changed at the speed of light. My eyes began to water as a tear slipped from my eye to my cheek.

Just remembering the good and old moments Grandma and I had together. From the photoshoot we had as I was sitting in Target's shopping car. Going shopping with her. Judging all her style.

Never having any of that back. Because of a stupid choice I made. Deciding to go to an end of the year high school party. Ended up getting myself in this disaster.

Sitting down on the floor right besides my bed. I slammed my head against the mattress. My stupid, clumsy decision. Tears came following down my cheek. Warm wet tears off my face onto the floor.

Getting up from the floor, carrying up my pathetic self. I reached my closet pulling out an old tee shirt with some shorts. I took off the clothes I had on throwing them into the basket.

I put on my shorts and shirt. Felt so good to finally be back to the estate. Didn't have to empress anyone but myself. Maybe just one person.

Seriously Sage? Why should you even care about him. He like barely knows you exist. He's a dick. He's so arrogant. He's careless. He doesn't even deserve you or...

you don't deserve him.
