Never Look Back

19. He's found me!

Chapter 19:

Lily's POV:

I run as fast as I can through the forest. Tree limbs trying to hold me back, my breath coming out in short, ragged, pants.

He shouldn't be home for an hour or so, but I have no idea how far away the nearest town is. But seeing as how secluded his house is, I'm guessing a town and people are pretty far away.

It should give me time to get further away from his house since he will be driving to and from the town.


After about ten minutes I'm feeling hope, like I can actually get help and get back to Cole.

My hope then flies away as soon as it comes.

A large hole I didn't notice was in my path and I run right into it.

I land hard and skin my knees and hands. I cry out in pain when I feel my left wrist twist in an odd direction from the impact of my fall. I cradle my hurt wrist to my chest and slowly stand and look above me.

I'm in a large man made hole, its about eight feet deep and four feet wide. This must have been dug my Nick in case I ran. I walk to one side and try to climb it but its to sheer to get a grip and I can't use my left arm because of my wrist which I think is either broken or sprained.

"NOO!" I scream in anger, frustration, and sadness.

Nick will come for me now and do god only knows to me. Now I'm just an angel without wings, waiting for the devil to find me.


Not even an half of an hour later, I hear footsteps.

I stay sitting against the side of the pit, with my head resting on my knees, knowing who has come for me.

The footsteps stop and a figure looms over me, it's shadow hiding me from the setting sun.

"This experience should show you, that you can't run. You can't hide. You are mine!" his chilling voice that I once loved, hisses.

I don't say anything, I just keep staring at my feet.

He sighs,"Well lets get you out of there."

I still don't answer.

I can tell he's getting angry when he growls,"I could always just drag you out," he threatens.

I stand and brush off the dirt from my pants. He reaches down an arm and I'm forced to grab it.

He pulls me out but holds on tightly to my non hurt wrist while his other hand goes on my waist, pulling me into him.

"Never. Run. Again!" he hisses menacingly.

I just stare at him defiantly. His eyes narrow, and suddenly I'm upside down.

He starts walking back toward his house with me draped over his right shoulder.

"Nick! Put me down!" I yell and bang my fist onto his back.

He just ignores me, and eventually I give up. The long way back to his house is filled with silence. I contemplate my next move of escape, I won't like it, hell I'll hate it, but if I want to escape its my only chance.


All that is heard throughout the silent forest is the crunching of Nick's feet as he walks back to the house.

I swing back and forth with every step of his, and now I'm starting to get light headed from being upside down.

"Nick.." I moan,"Put me down! My head feels like its going to explode."

He sighs and sets me down, I wobble slightly on feet. My vision has spots and I feel dizzy but it soon clears as he steadies me.

When I'm good he grabs my wrist and tugs me to start walking. He happens to grab my hurt wrist and fucking yank on it!

"Ow!" I cry out in pain.

He stops and quickly lets to of my arm. He looks at me concerned then down at my now purple looking wrist.

"Jesus Lily! Why didn't you tell me?!" he gasps and gently holds my wrist to get a better look at it.

I wince as he runs his fingers over it,"It... isn't that... bad," I manage to get out through my clenched teeth.

He looks into my eyes and sees the tears in my eyes, he sighs,"I will wrap it when we get home," he says then wraps his arm around my waist and leads me through the forest.


Days go by and I've been actually good. I've been eating, talking with Nick and I guess just try to be as normal as I can in this situation. He wrapped up my wrist which turns out to just be badly sprained.

Now that he trusts me a bit better, I think it's time for phase two.


"Nickkk," I yell. I'm laying on the couch in the living room.

He walks into the room,"What?" he asks.

"I'm boreddd," I answer.

He chuckles and walks over to me, he lifts my legs and sits down then lays my legs over his lap."And what am I supposed to do about it?"

I shrug and sit up and crawl onto his lap. He looks surprised by my actions but smiles none the less.

I gulp and smile fakely,"I know something," please forgive me Cole!

I lean forward taking him by surprise once again and kiss him.

He gets over the surprise fast and kisses me back hard. His hand travels up my back and grips my hair while the other is on the small of my back pushing me closer to him.

I kiss him and curl my hands in his hair. My left hand releases his hair and trails down his chest and rests on his thigh, he groans wanting me to continue. My hand massages his thigh and I move it to the side closer to his pocket, my hand runs over the shape of his phone, Yes!

I gently weezle it out of his pocket while I distract him with my other hand and lips. When it's fully out I lean back breaking up our makeout session.

He frowns, I smile,"Can you order pizza?" I ask sweetly and hold up his phone.

He stares at me confused and looks at his phone probably wondering how I got and also why I didn't just take it."Uh sure...." he tells me.

I squeal happily and peck his lips then jump out and throw him his phone then announce I have to use the bathroom and skip there.

Once inside I quickly wash my mouth out and shiver in disgust at what I just had to do.

Ok so you might be thinking I'm stupid for not just taking his phone. Well it's all part of the plan. It's still early in the day so there's a chance he will be on it or look for it, so if I had it, it would ruin all the innocent good girl I have been pretending to be. So by giving it to him, he feels that he can trust me since I gave it up instead if taking it. Logic!

The rest of the day goes by fairly fast. Nick ordered the pizza and now we're just waiting around and watching TV.

Nick has his arm around me and I unfortunately had to cuddle up to him to keep up the act.

He smiles down at me and starts kissing my neck,"How about we finish what we started," he whispers in my ear.

I shiver in disgust but he takes it as excitement or something. He pulls me onto his lap and kisses me passionately.

I kiss back and I'll admit he's still a pretty good kisser since when we were a couple. Things start to go to far when I feel his hands inching up under my shirt.

Thank god I'm saved by the doorbell.

I leap off him and scream,"PIZZA!!" then run to the door. I may be acting weird but I'm not coming off like I'm pushing Nick away, I can't have him thinking that this is all an act.

Nick rushes after just as I'm about to open the door."No!" he shouts.

I stop and stare at him confused and shocked.

"You can't let anyone see you," he tells me.

I frown but remember that I'm here against my will and that no one can see me, even if Nick is treating me nicely and I'm good he still doesn't fully trust me, I don't blame him though.

I express my fake hurt and walk back into the living room quietly. Nick sighs,"Lily, I'm sorry but... they... they might recognize you," he says weakly.

I don't reply and just continue to the living room and sit on the couch. Nick comes back in a few seconds with the pizza.

We eat in silence for quite awhile then he breaks it.

"Lily I'm sorry."

I look at him,"Do you not trust me?" I ask.

"No I do, I'm just... waiting for everything to calm down a bit before I can let people see you. I know we're states away but I just want to be careful, I don't want them taking you away from me," he tells me.

Well now I know we're states away, thanks for the info Nick.

I nod and cuddle up to him,"I understand."

As we finish eating I grab his phone very obviously and start playing games. He seems fine with it and let's me play. I lean into him and he wraps his arm around me.

As we watch TV I give a few fake yawns then slowly pretend to fall asleep. As I feign sleeping I unnoticeably tuck his phone in my pocket. Once I've been "asleep" for about ten minutes Nick sighs and decides to take me to bed. He picks me up and walks to the bedroom.

Once I'm laid on the bed and tucked in, he lingers by the bed side conflicted by something then thinks better of it and leaves the room. Probably wanting to sleep with me but didn't want to freak me out and make me revert back to my cold self to him.

Smart boy, otherwise he would have made my mission ten times harder.

I lay bored out of my mind for hours. I need to be sure he's in a deep sleep before I do this.

Finally at 3 am I decide its time. I silently walk to the bedroom door in the pitch black room, I press my ear against it and listen for sounds of the TV still on.

I hear nothing so I quietly walk to the closet and open the door. It squeaks loudly making me wince, I open it slower and sneak through the crack then close the door.

I shuffle to the back of the small closet and sit down with my knees up against my chest. I take out Nick's phone and dial 911.

It rings and a female voice finally answers!

"You've reached 911, what is your emergency?" she asks.

I gulp,"I've been taken by my crazy ex-boyfriend. He's locked me in some house," I tell her.

"What is your name sweetie?"

"My name is Lily Colwells."

"Ok you need to tell me as much information as you can. Like what is your ex- boyfriends name? What does he look like? How old are you? Do you know where you are? How long have you've been kidnapped for? Do you have any family I can contact? Can do you that?" she asks nicely.

I nod,"Yes. I'm 20 years old," I tell her,"His name is Nick Withers, he's my ex. He's about 6 ft tall, brown hair and green eyes. He's also 20. And my boyfriend Cole Andrews is my only family contact, I was actually on my way home to see him about some surprise but then Nick grabbed me."

"Do you know where you are?"

I shake my head even though she can't see me,"No, I know that we're states away though. But I'm from Northridge Georgia, that's where I was taken."

"Ok your doing great. Now do you-"

Suddenly I hear my bedroom door slam open. I freeze as heavy footsteps come near.

"He...he's found me!" I whisper terrified into the phone.

"Just hang on, were doing everything we can to find you. Just don't hang up!"

The closet door swings open. A scream escapes my lips as Nick lunges towards me and grabs the phone.

He throws it to the floor and stomps on it then sets its furious gaze on me.

"You really shouldn't have done that!" he says in a menacing voice. Then he lunges toward me.

"Ah!"
