Kidnapped

Chapter 26

I watch as she approaches, making me simmer more and more with each step.

"Why did you come here?" I ask her.

"Can we talk?"

"No. I don't think that's a good idea," I state.

"Please, just a few minutes. Please," She begs me.

"You left me! You left me to be alone in that hellhole. You gave me up just to save your own ass, Chloe! So no, we can't talk," I yell.

"I'm sorry! I truly am! I felt horrible, but it was after I had done it. I had only been thinking of myself! Please, you have to understand!" She pleads.

"No, because you know what I would've done? I would've let him keep me instead to save you. I'd rather have me be hurt, than my best friend." My voice cracks at the end and I can feel tears pricking at my eyes.

Nothing could have ever prepared me for this betrayal.

"Why? Why did you do it? Why did you do this to me?" I beg her to answer me, tears streaming down my face.

After a few moments of silence, I know she has no explanation as to why she did it.

"I knew it." I walk off, leaving her to stand alone.

(Chloe's POV)

Tears stream down my face as I watch my used-to-be best friend walk away. I feel bad for what I did to Lucy, but I couldn't help but think of myself and get the hell out of there.

My heart literally feels like it's breaking with every step Lucy takes away from me. I just lost my best friend.

All because I was being a selfish bitch.

I don't know what to do. I came here with the hopeful idea that'd she forgive me. Maybe in some parallel universe, but I was stupid to think she would ever consider forgiving me.

I feel like I have to do something. Something to make her forgive me.

I wipe away my tears on my tear stained face. After deciding I shouldn't go after her, I go back to my car. The car comes to life as I turn the key in the ignition. I really didn't believe she would forgive me. Nothing I could have done could have sufficed for what I did to her. It was truly stupid of me.

I nearly drive straight into another car on the opposite lane as my thoughts go elsewhere. I swerve away and back into my lane watching the car go by, honking and the driver giving me the bird on his way. After catching my breath, I focus on nothing but the road, hoping to make it home safely.

(Lucy's POV)

The nerve. The nerve of that bitch. She had no reason to come and 'talk' to me. She should have just stayed away and kept to herself with her perfect precious life. She obviously has no room for anyone but herself and her parents. My tears are now out of frustration and pure hatred for that girl. I'll never understand why she did it. I would have gladly taken her place for her not to have suffered. It goes to show who your real friends are.

After a few minutes of walking, I arrive at the group house. When I walk in, I can hear the clicking of heels again. What the hell? She seems so unaffected by all of this. I guess it took the most toll on me since I was favored most by Luke. The heels can't even compare to what just happened only moments ago. I walk into the living room where all eyes turn towards me.

I hate attention. I hate when everything is focused on me.

I rush by and into the kitchen, doing my best to ignore everyone's stares. I realize moments later that I hadn't wiped away my tears on my tear soaked face. I quickly brush away the new tears and drag away the dry ones. My eyes burn with the fresh air conditioning blowing on my face.
