I woke up in a fog, everything out of focus as I held my head up.
My hands and feet were bound as I sat on some cement ground.
"Julian?" I whispered as I squeezed my eyes shut for a second because my head hurt.
"Shh." I heard him whisper, "I only have a few minutes." He spoke as I gathered my whereabouts..
Some abandon factory.
"You're going to be taken, Deja. And no one can stop this, and if they try to, they'll be killed." He said and I gave him a weird look.
"So you're saying I'll never see R-" "Riggs, Roger, Trish, the lot. You'll never see them.. But.." He sighed heavily, looking around.
"I-I can give you one call before I smash your phone so they won't trace it." The o-so-confident Julian was suddenly nervous and stammering.
I nodded, still not fully getting the reality of the situation.
"Who will it be?" "Riggs." I spoke without hesitation.
"Remember- if they look for you, they'll end up at the bottom of a lake." He said and my heart started to race when I realized the danger of this ordeal.
He handed me the phone as it rang, I breathed heavily because I was on the edge of breaking down- because my life just did a 180.
"Hey babe, I'm at work right now, can I call you back?" Martin spoke, I inhaled deeply.
"Please listen, Martin. I'm calling because this is the last time you'll hear my voice. This is my goodbye." I spoke quietly.
"Goodbye? Baby, what are you talking about?" He sweetly spoke.
"You're scaring me, Deja." He whispered, slightly chuckling- mostly nervously.
"I can't stop thinking about you. About us. Our family. I wish it could be different. A-and please know that this is all my fault, you even tried to stop me. But there's no point in looking for me, now. I'll be gone soon.."
"Hey, hey, baby.." He cooed as I closed my eyes.
"I'm going to be taken. And don't look for me. Please." I spoke with my eyes still closed.
"Where are you? Tell me right now, I can find you." He spoke sternly but I could hear his fear and concern.
"Please." I quietly cried, "I have to go.. Tell my family I love them."
"Deja, come on now, you gotta work with me." He said as tears streamed freely.
"I love you. I love you so much, Martin. You changed my life." I sighed.
"Don't eat cheese puffs without me." I joked.
"Hey now, I-I can't go making promises." He spoke quietly.
"I love you, too. You changed my life forever. You-- you're in my heart." He spoke and I smiled to myself.
"Don't wait up for me." I whispered before I hung up.
