Lost In Love

Chapter IX

♥♡♥Ever Lasting♥♡♥

I woke up to find myself tucked into my bed. I tried to rememver how I got here, but I culdn't. I thought back to the events of last night.

I was stargazing, with James, and I must have fallen asleep. So James must have carried me back.

I went and got dressed. I was already in my clothes when I woke up, but my jeans were getting uncomfortable. Bored, I put on some shorts and an old red karate tee and went.to the music room. The other day, I had discovered it had a dance studio next to it.

I went into the mini dance studio to practice my dancing. I had my bagpack with me, filled with my stuff. Since no-one was in here, or awake, since it was about 5am, I got my grey dress out of my bag. It was great for twirling. I turned on my music, put my dress on, and got a mic from the music room. I danced around, singing along and twirling for as long as I could, before falling over. I was on the floor laughing. I had no idea someone was watching through the open door. After my fit of laughter, I got up and decided to run through some of my dance excersises. I went to the store room and changed my dress for my tee and shorts, and went it. I started doing the dance routine, and sung along. I heard Megan join in, and saw her and Lara join me dance. We danced and sung for ages, and after a while we just had our own mini disco. Once we took a break from dancing, Lara went off, claiming she needed a drink. Megan seemed to feel as though this was a good time to have a serious talk.

"Why the seriousness," I complained

"Lara had a nightmare. About Ben, and Juliet. It seemed like it was just her memory, but then Jamie stared saying he was using her. It scared me. I hate seeing Lara so scared and upset."

I went pale. I remembered what happened with Ben and Juliet.

***FLASHBACK***

Ben was Lara's boyfriend. She had a crush on him for ages, and after a while he asked her out. She agreed. Megan and I weren't sure of him, but didn't want to upset Lara by saying we didn't like him.

It resulted in me over hearing him telling a girl, Juliet, about his fathers plan to kidnapp Lara because they wanted her money. I fell out of the tree I was hiding in, out of shock. They kidnapped me, but I couldn't do anything because of my broken ankle from falling.

I tried to escape from the building I was in after a week of being held captive.

I hated my little room that they kept me in. Every day, a man would come up to my room and beat me. I never cried, because it just made me more pain. But I never fought bavck, because I was too scared. My dark little black room was horrible. I had nothing in here - at all. I crawled over to my window one night. I couldn't walk because my ankle was still broken. I was bruised, but I was semi-okay. I smashed the window, but all that happened was I got a massive scar on my stomach from the glass. I kept on hitting at it, but never escaped. I hid in the cupboard, so it looked like I had escaped. This way I would survive from no beatings, and I could survive on what scraps of food I had saved up.

After a couple days, we were saved by the police, who managed to track Lara's cell phone, which she had hidden on her when she was kidnapped.

Since that day, Lara wouldn't trust anyone. It took her a couple years to get over it. She was only Eleven.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

Now she's 16! She now trusted people, but I was worried about what would happen if Jamie was using her.

"I never trusted Ben, and I don't trust Jamie," I said to Megan, still pale.

"It's okay Eve. Everythings fine."
