We start watching a movie, however, I wasn't paying attention to it, I was thinking. I was thinking about how I really know nothing about any of these boys. I knew them before they kidnapped me, but it was because I went to school with them. Looking at them in the hall, you wouldn't know that they were filthy rich. You also wouldn't know that they were planning on kidnapping you. Although, you also wouldn't know that they were incredible funny and sweet. At the same time, I wasn't going to praise them; they had taken my life away from me. My life before wasn't special. I wasn't happy and I had abusive parents, but it was what it was.
It was weird though. I liked being around them. I didn't want to but I did. I wish I didn't feel as comfortable around them as I do.
I just realized that I didn't have to be around them. I haven't yet been forced to be around them. Maybe if I stay away from them, then I will realize that I don't like or feel comfortable around them. It all has to be some lie.
No one has hurt me or been mean to me since the first day. There has to be some weird reason. I have to figure it out, maybe it could help me find out why I'm here.
I'm not one of the perfect girls at our school. I'm not fat, nor skinny. I had long black hair and blue-grey eyes. I wasn't anything special, so why did they kidnap me? They could have picked any pretty, popular girl. There has to be a reason. Maybe they picked a name out of a hat, which happened to be mine. Maybe they heard about my home life and thought that they could be some heroes. Maybe my dad is in the mafia, he does go on a lot of business trips. Maybe one of my parents had an affair with one of their parents. Uh-Oh. That wouldn't be so good.
I'm going to start getting answers. I deserve them. I don't know how I'm going to get them, but somehow, I will.
With that new goal freshly set, I pay attention to the movie. It was over and the credits rolled on the screen. Soon I see the title pop up on the screen; "The Conjuring". Supposedly it was the scariest movie of the year. It was fairly new as well, but it still managed to catch the rewarding title. I look around and see all the boys looking around with nervous smiles, as if they were trying to hide their fear. They all look at me, expecting me to be scared, I guess, to see me perfectly fine. I wasn't paying any attention to the movie, so why would I be scared.
"Did you like the movie Olivia?" Cam smirked at me.
"Not really. It wasn't even scary." I state, lying. I might as well act tough, while the truth was that I lacked focus.
They all looked at me shocked, then tried to act tough too. They all agreed with me and went upstairs, turning on all the lights in the process. We all scatter to our own rooms. I lay down in my bed, ready to slip into a long slumber.
About ten minutes later, I hear a knock on my door. I groan and hear the door creak open. I wake myself up, so I can defend myself if it was a scary monster, but it was worse.
"Hey. The power went out. I came in here to make sure you're okay. I'll stay with you tonight because I know that you're probably scared." Nash explained. The room was pitch black but I could hear him walking over and laying down on the floor next to the bed.
"I'm not afraid." I state. He had so little faith in me.
"No need to act tough. I'm here to protect you. You have no need to lie to me."
"I'm not lying." I say, laughing quietly to myself.
"Shhh. I'll protect you. You can go to sleep." He says tiredly.
I decide to accept the fact that he is not leaving, so I lay back down in my bed, relaxing myself. After finally feeling ready to go to sleep, I hear another knock on my door, followed by the creaking of the door.
"The power is out. I came in here so you wouldn't be afraid." Matt whispers.
"Join the club." Nash says from the floor.
I hear Matt walk over and lay next to me in the bed. I hear Nash mumble something angrily under his breath. I ignore and feel Matt's arm wrap around my waist. I nuzzle into his chest and feel sleepy once again.
I hear a knock on the door followed by the creaking of the door.
"Olivia?" I hear Cam whisper.
"I know the power is out. If you came to protect me, join the club." I state a little annoyed. He walks in and lays down on the floor.
This cycle repeats until all the boys are in my room to "protect me", even though I think that they were scared and didn't want to be alone. Plus, I was the only one that "wasn't" afraid of that movie, so why would they go anywhere else.
I lay there, in the presence of all the boys and finally fall into the slumber that I've been waiting for.
