Beneath the Eyes (Book 1)

Forgiven

There was no way he was going to leave me. No way. I watched though, as he left the alley and walked away. What? Part of my felt betrayed but I would really hurt if he never came and saved me. Maybe he had a plan or something.

            “Well that was easy.” The man said laughing. “Now, let’s go back to my place and have some fun.” He grinned.

            He pushed me forward, holding the gun now at my side, trying to make it hidden. We walked out of the alley and Seth was no where to be seen. My stomach was filled with butterflies and my heart was racing at the speed of light. Where was he at? We walked for a few minutes and I felt so betrayed, there was no way this was Seth. Something may have happened. I wanted to start crying, how could he do this to me? How could he let this monster take me?

Then I heard a familiar engine driving down the road. I turned to see the red Ferrari driving down the road. Though it wasn’t Seth who was driving it, it was Annabella. I felt myself sigh with relief. She slowed down and said to the guy, “Hey cutie, how about you leave her and come join me.”

I felt the gun at my side being taken away and put back into his coat pocket. This was my chance, I elbowed him in the stomach and turned around and kicked him where it counts.  He groaned in pain as he sunk to his knees. I went for another kick but a pair of hands stopped me and pulled me back.

I spun around and saw Seth standing there, smiling. He bent down, and punched the guy hard, his head started to bleed. I knew Seth had killed him, but it didn’t really bug me because he would do the same thing to another girl who wouldn’t have any help. Seth threw the body in the alley and came back over to me. I punched him in the arm and he said, “Ow, what was that for?”

“Making me think you’d just let me go with that pervert.” I said.

“Now, I would never let anyone hurt you.” He smiled.

I heard a long “aw” coming from Annabella, who was still sitting in the car, watching us. I blushed because I couldn’t help it, what he said was extremely nice and flattering. Seth handed me my knife that he had gotten from the man.

“You need a ride?” She asked.                

I nodded. Seth and I got in the car. I made him get in the backseat which he seemed to hate.

“Thanks for helping.” I said to her.

She just smiled. We pulled up to the apartment and I noticed that Brad was sitting out on the steps, which wasn’t probably a good thing.

“Thank you so much and I’ll see you later.” I said to both of them.

I slowly made my way to the front door, where Brad waited. He had an emotionless look on his face, which I hated. I wanted to know what the heck was he thinking and why he was outside.

“Brad? Is everything okay?” I asked.

“Yeah, I just wanted some fresh air, that apartment still smells like rotting eggs.” He grinned.

            “How is Cole?” I asked.

I had honestly forgotten about Cole because of meeting Annabella and then that creep trying to take me back to his house and rape me, I just forgot that Brad had went to talk to him.

            “He is fine I guess. He was pretty mad when I talked to him. I did complement him on his punch which put a grin on his face but he was still pissed off. He is trying to sleep but I doubt he is getting much. He was worried when you were gone when we got back here.” Brad said.
