Kidnapped by the emo trinity [complete]

"What movie do you wanna watch"
"I don't really care, anything"
Brendon inserted a disc to the tv, "how about ratatouille" I laughed "why not"

He plopped next to me on the couch and put his arm around me. I smiled at how comfortable his shoulder was.
"Don't look away from the screen but there's something I need to tell you" he said smiling at the tv

"What" I asked confused

"Don't react. He might be watching"
This sent a shiver down my spine. "What is it?" I asked trying to resist the urge to look paniced. "This kidnapping is more than you think it is, Julia. It wasn't our idea. Laugh"

"What"

"Laugh so it seems like I made a joke"
I forced a laugh but I don't think it was very believable

"Good. It's not safe for you to stay here any longer. I think I know a way to get you out."

"What do you mean it wasn't your idea?"
Was this what Pete meant when he said he was a prisoner?

"I can explain more when we get out of here."
Brendon stood up and paused the movie
"Ya we actually have a really nice garden out back if you wanna see that. I bet it's better than yours." He said much clearer now. Catching on I stood up and said, "I highly doubt that" and gave a more believable laugh.

"You'll see" he smiled and grabbed my hand and led me down the hall and towards the back door. He brought me out back and to my surprise, there actually was a quite beautiful garden. However this was no time to stop and smell the roses.

Brendon quickly brought me to the woods surrounding the house, not letting go of my hand.

"I know of a trail out here that leads to a convenience store, if I can bring you to it, you'll be able to find the rest of the way out on your own."

"Brendon what's going on!?"

"It's complicated."

"I'm smart"

After a moment of silence Brendon spoke, "one day we got a message from someone saying he needed you and you specifically. He explained to us what he wanted us to do exactly. We were supposed to keep you there till he came and got you. But I couldn't go along with it anymore. The only reason I did for as long as I did was cuz he was threatening us, threatening our families."

"Who was it?" I asked

"We don't know" he said as we reached a trail of rocks slightly hidden in leaves.
"You see that?" He asked and I nodded
"This is where I leave you. Follow that and you should be able to find someone who can help you."

I turned to Brendon, tears brimming in my eyes. "But what about you? What's gonna happen to you? I can't just leave you!" I didn't realize how much I had grown to care for him until now.

"Brendon, I-I love you"
Brendon grabbed my hands, tears now falling down my face.
"Julia listen to me, y-"

A Loud bang echoed through the forest and Brendon dropped to the ground.
I gasped and jumped back, my hands covering my mouth. In front of me lay Brendon's lifeless body, fresh blood oozing out of the bullet wound in his scull.

The tears are now rapidly flowing down my face and I quickly turn in the direction the bullet came in to see Gerard bolting towards me. I was too scared and shocked to move so I helplessly let him scoop me up and throw me over his shoulder.

Half way through the walk back I regained my strength and started punching his back and screaming. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PUT ME DOWN!" I choked "WHY?! WHY'D YOU KILL HIM?! PUT ME
DOWN PLEASE!"

"Please shut up" he snapped. "I didn't want to kill him. I had to. There was no other choice. Brendon shouldn't have told you anything. I'm sorry but I can't let you go Julia."

"YOURE CRAZY!! PLEASE"

"NO! You don't understand. I have a a family, a daughter. I can't die. I can't leave her. I don't know what he would do to her. You don't understand Julia I have to do this!"

The tears rolling down my face were now mixed with snot a drool but I didn't care. We finally reached the house and Gerard threw me in my room and locked the door. I curled into fetal position on my bed and stared off into space, now out of tears. I heard shouting from downstairs but was too exhausted to make out what they were saying.

After about ten minutes I heard a tap on the window. I looked up and and had to do a double take at the face of my best friend who was fiddling to open the window. Damon finally slid it open and climbed into the room. I had never felt so relieved to see him.

I immediately wrapped my arms around him and began to cry once again into his shoulder. I finally let him go and looked up at him. "Did you climb up to the window?"

"I had to get you out" he smiled

"How'd you know where I was?"

"I figured out how to trace the signal in your phone. I guess they still have it."
"Oh my gosh you're a genius thank you so much" I cried and pulled him in for another hug

"Of course" he said pulling away "but we don't have time for this, they could come up any moment. We need to get out of here"

Damon returned to the window and crawled out and started making his way back down. I walked up to the window but then stopped and looked at it.
"What are you doing? Let's go!" He shouted from the ground

"Ya it's just. I could've sworn they bolted the Windows"
"Julia, that doesn't matter, cmon! Now!"
I shook it off and climbed out to meet him. He took my hand and we both took off. "Where almost there" he shouted
He slowed down and came to a stop near the big crater I found before.

"Why are we stopping here?" I asked turning to Damon
"We're not I just need to catch my breath"
"STOP!"
I jumped at Petes voice and turned to Damon who had my hand in his and a knife in his other hand
"STOP!" He yelled again.
