Falling In Love With A Monster

Chapter 12

Once everyone was awake I  walked into the hallway, gladly everyone had a shirt on so my girly hormones won't smack my plan in the face. "Shut up Chris." Ryan says. "It's true ok! You guys are crushing on the person you kiddnapped! Your all idiots if you think we can't see that!" Chris protests. "Your delusional." Erik says turning around to face me. "Oh hey Amelia." "Hi." I say. "How much did you hear of that?" Ryan asks. "Not all but a few sentences." I say walking past them into the kitchen. Jackson was standing there in the kitchen once again scrolling through his phone.

"Hey Jackson?" I say "Yeah?" He says turning to me. "Can I use your phone?" I ask. "Why?" He replies "I need to call my mom to make sure she's not worried about me. If she's not worried I'll be fine." I explain. "How do I know I can trust you?" He asks. "Well even if I do tell her I'm kidnapped I have absolutely no idea where I'm at right now so it would literally be no difference to my situation." I say. He sighs and hands his phone to me. I type in her number and it rings. "Hello?" I hear a hoarse voice say through the phone. "Mom?" I say. "Amelia! Oh god! I was worried sick! Where have you been!?" She exclaims. "Mom calm down. I'm fine. I just wanted to call you and say I'm fine. I won't be home for awhile but I'm fine." I explain. "Amelia what do you mean?" She asks. "I just can't come home mom. I love you. Bye." I hang up and hand him his phone back. "Thanks." I say hugging him. He hugs back. "No problem little lady." He says patting my back.

I walk out into the hallway and see Erik standing there against the wall. "Hey." I say standing in front of him. "Hi." He says looking at me.  Smile at him. "What are ya doing?" I ask. "Just hanging around waiting for Ryan. We have some business to attend to." He explains. "Let me guess gang business?" I scoff. "Listen this is our business and I'm sorry but it's my life. I've decided to live it like this ok?" He gets slightly aggressive. "It's not a very good life." I say folding my arms. "No it's not but I've chosen it to be this way." He says getting closer. I back up against the wall he comes closer. "You kill people." I say. "I don't kill people. We punish the people who deserve it. It's not a good living but it's a living." He says standing face to face with me. His chest was against mine his breath hitting my face. I put my hand onto his chest and push him back. I can't let him get in the way of my escape. I turn and walk into my room leaving him stand there in the hallway.
