Hostage

Hostage (5)

Sunday night Ricky drove me home. I feared stepping into my house but

it wasn't as bad as I thought it would've been. My parents were

peeved that I had ditched and was with three guys all weekend. I told

her we just hung out and there was other friends (female) as well and

it was hard to lie like that especially since I had slept with one of

those guys. My brother was probably the most pissed having to wait forever

for his sister who never showed up after school and went off with some teenage hormonal

guys and being the protective big brother he is certainly proved him

the least happiest of the situation. School the next was normal. Yes

normal. Your thinking, so what right? After what happened, it's normal; I

mean common normal was them all ignoring me and that's what they did. I

felt so lost but I didn't bother talking to them I guess it makes sense

because then it won't be obvious that something was up. It would look pretty odd if they suddenly took interest in someone low as me anyways.

I managed

through the week able to hide my thoughts from my family but Kenzie

wasn't so easily fooled. "Common are you ever gunna tell me what's up with

you? You weren't home all weekend and according to your parents you

were with some guys." she said throwing me a questioning look. I wanted

to say I wasn't but then that would be a lie and it's impossible to lie

to that girl. "I was just with some old friends okay." Kenzie sighed and gave up;

for now. "Fine well you can make it up to me this weekend okay? Are you

still coming to help me later on after school?" she asked as she

stopped at her locker. "umm can't. Gotta be somewhere, helping Corey (her brother)

sorry" I muttered quickly and took off to my own locker. That was for

sure a lie but it couldn't be helped. It was Wednesday and I was running

out of time before the weekend. I knew I had to get those drugs. In my

heart I knew I really really shouldn't and I wasn't afraid of Ricky but

rather afraid of him when he doesn't have his drugs or when he is on

them. The monster that he becomes. I was goin to sneak out around

midnight and make the dangerous trip to the east side. Sneaking out would

be easy since I do it quite often, bad I know. I was gunna get some

sleep before I went, setting a vibrating alarm on my phone to wake me

around midnight. "ugh Kenzie you and this crazy boyfriend of yours.

You just don't know when to quit do you?" I said with a laugh as we

walked down the steps to our seventh period. "Thanks Lexi. I feel the

love. What about you, you don't give up either." I was about to reply

when Ricky came around the corner and walked into the classroom. "Can

you blame me?" I said in a rather gushy voice. "Guess I can't." Kenzie
