In Your Dreams

Part 37

*Shennika's POV*

Me and Bethany walked up the hill and up Maggie's pebble lawn until we reached her front door. Knock, knock! A short moment passed before she opened the door, "Hey guys!" Maggie said stepping out of her house as we sat on her pouch enjoying the sun.

She squinted over at me smiling- well I think it was a smile "soo Shen you excited to be seeing the Lynch-most-wanted later? come on don't be secretive how you feeling?" I smiled staring at the yellow rose bush at the bottom of Maggie's front garden.

"What! The Lynch-most-wanted? wow really Mag, I knew you were bad with nicknames but-" I laughed hearing Bethany say that and the reaction Maggie had was priceless- she gasped in offense and hit Bethany on the arm.

I looked back at them "look guys I won't lie to you, I don't really know how I'm feeling, can't explain it- Ross is the best and...I know whatever he has for a surprise I just know I'd love it."

"AWWW" Bethany and Maggie shouted in unison then sighed looking up at the baby blue sky with that oh so familiar hazed look in their eyes- especially Bethany's, it reminded me of when we were at the R5 concert.. Oh Shennika, isn't Ross sooo Hot! Bethany's voice echoed as I recalled the memory.

Wow. The R5 concert seems so long ago- isn't it where it all started? I remember feeling tons of butterflies meeting Ross for the first time. Singing with him, looking into his gentle eyes and even just the fact that we connected a heck of a lot that night which I never would of thought possible seeing as we just met that night.

Now seeing where we are now- its a very good twist of events that has me thinking maybe there's more to it then just fate or even destiny...

"Earth to Shennika! lets go you can daydream all you want some other time" I snapped out of it seeing how close Maggie's grinning face was to mine. I laughed and stood up and walked with them back to the house to get my art folder.

Once I ran upstairs to get everything I came back down the stairs to grab my side bag. "Shennika... I think you should go and change into what you're going to be seeing Ross in later" Bethany said kind of shyly. I gave her a confused look, "why? that's not until later on and what's wrong with what I'm wearing now we're coming back here afterwards."

Bethany looked at Maggie who nodded in agreement "yeah go change and hurry about it you're wasting time" Maggie said waving her hands spending me along. "Fine!" I groaned rolling my eyes in defeat and ran up the stairs to change into the outfit that I was originally planning to put on later for when I saw Ross. After I was dressed I checked myself over in the mirror then went back downstairs.

"Mmm nice" Maggie nodded checking out my outfit, I picked up my art folder and put on my side bag sighing, "thanks but guys I don't see-" Maggie made loud noises silencing me then went behind me and started pushing me out the door, "enough talk let's go."

We walked some strange route- Maggie's short cut to my art tutor Kate's house, we walked along a main road then branched off down an alleyway then across a field similar to the one me and Ross was on.

Within 20 minutes we reached Kate's house. Bethany and Maggie stood by the gate as I spoke with my tutor, she invited me in to collect the new project brief. I looked down at the front page "Collage?" my tutor smiled nodding and went into a bit more detail about what I needed to do.

I scratched behind my neck and forced a smile back. Then after we said goodbye I slowly walked down her garden path to Bethany and Maggie who looked a little restless and kept looking at their phones for the time I assumed. "Collage!? I'm not sure if I'm feeling this topic" I frowned scanning the first page of the booklet then I rolled my eyes.

 Maggie bit her lip staring down at her watch then jumped up smiling widely as she marched over to me "come on give me that, forget about it, today is a day to remember and have fun, so art will just have to wait" she said holding the paper high over our heads after she snatched it from me.

"Yeah you're so right Maggie but can I have that back" she shook her head at me, "nope you'll get it back later, come on lets go" I rolled my eyes and followed them back the way we came but this time we just took the high road route.

The sun had gotten just the more hotter and the road ironically seemed just the more longer.

I let out a breath of air blowing the loose strands of my side fringe as well as pushing it off my face. I rubbed at my arms in hopes that it would block out the intense sun heat from them but it didn't really make a difference. I trailed behind with Bethany who looked just as hot and bothered as I did while Maggie was walking casually in front and looked up and down the road as if she was expecting something.

"Maggie how much longer?" Bethany whined as she ran her fingers through her hair putting it in a messy ponytail, I groaned agreeing with her "yeah this road seems longer then before and why is it so deserted out here anyway!? no cars on a high road don't sound right..."

Maggie span round and walked backwards so she was facing us "will you guys stop moaning already, especially you Shen" I opened my mouth to argue back but she hushed me so instead I pulled a face and took out my phone to read some of the messages Ross sent. I moved my phone around trying to see past the sunlight at the last message he sent me when I noticed a car in my phone reflection coming right at us.

The car increased in speed and pulled up right next to us then 2 men hiding their faces grabbed me "get off me!" I yelled fighting to free myself from the 2 men's grasp, the last thing I saw was Bethany run to stand by Maggie as I was being blindfolded and my hands were tightly tied behind my back then I was pushed into the back seat of their car and was driven away. BETHANY! MAGGIE!? Don't just stand there, HELP ME!
