Saving Her |The Unbroken Series: Book Two|

The Pact

"Chay go hide now", Jared said sternly ,"I'll answer the door"

Chay ran towards her room and locked the door. Jared opened the front door , and there stood Westyn with white v-neck shirt, a black leather jacket and black jeans. He had cunning smirk in his face, and chuckled.

"Can I help you?", Jared asked.

"Yes , I'm Westyn ...and you are?"

"That doesn't matter. What are you doing here?"

"I've come to visit Chay and to drop off a Christmas gift I got her", he said shaking a gift bag in his hand.

"She's not available to visit right now , but I'll be happy to give it to her", Jared said sarcastically.

Westyn just looked at him , "I know she's here ...I need to see her now"

Chay knew Westyn wasn't going to leave until he saw her so she walked into the living room and said , "Hello Westyn"

Both of their heads jerked and looked at her.

"Chay! How are you? I haven't seen you in long time", Westyn said gleaming. Chay knew he was faking this whole thing.

"So what's going on? Is everything okay?", Chay asked walking up towards Jared.

"Yes, everything is fine and I hate to intrude , but I wanted to give gifts", he said handing her two gifts bags with tissue paper stuffed in them.

"Aww that was so nice of you Westyn", Chay said smiling. Westyn pushed passed Jared and hugged her and whispered in her ear , "Merry Christmas darling Chay. I'll see you soon", Westyn's voice was cunning and a bit scary. He kissed her by her ear , and walked out.

Jared closed the door and said, "Chay are you crazy?!"

"He wouldn't have gone away until he saw me!"

"I don't give a rats behind if he wanted to see Oprah - I don't want him around you"

"I didn't want to see him either Jared. The quicker he saw me , the quicker he was going to leave..that's what I thought when I came in here"

"Well let's just see what's in these bags", Jared said grabbing them and walking towards the kitchen table. They both sat down , and took out the tissue paper out.

"Oh. My. God.", Chay said looking down into the bag. There was a surgical knife and a box of adhesive bandages. There was also a note inside the said , Take it out if you'd like. I won't pout or shout, but don't think for a second that I won't find you.

Love,
Westyn

Jared looked in the other bag and it was full of photo shopped pictures of Westyn and Chay. All of the pictures were fake, and you could tell.

"This guy has got some serious mental issues", Jared said shaking his head.

"He wasn't like this Jared", Chay said quietly, "he was my friend"

Chay and all of her friends were sitting at there usual lunch table. Everybody was so happy , and laughed until they ran out of breath.

"Kade that was so funny", Westyn said laughing a joke Kade told. Kade didn't talk much until he told a joke. He was really good at making people laugh. The rest of middle school was a blur ,but the best moments always were. The first day of freshman year everyone was super excited and ready to start high school.

Everyone was standing in a circle talking about all of the classes they were going to take.

"Okay", Westyn said speaking up, "we should all make a pact that no matter what happens to us we're all going to stay friends". Everyone smiled and nodded their heads. They all put their hands together , "On three", Donovan said.
"One", Chay said.

"Two", Caleb said.

"Three", Morgan said, they raised their hands in unison.

Two Months Later...

It was officially 2017 and it was almost Valentine's Day. Everyone was doing amazing. Chay and Kade were back in school. As you can imagine everyone hoovered over Chay the first day she came back as if she was a celebrity. Jared was in training to be a police officer, and Amy quit working at the daycare and became an artist. She left town for two months to go to art school in Memphis.

As Chay walked to her next class her phone buzzed in her back pocket. It was a text from an unknown number.

Meet me in the middle of the gym after school. I have a surprise for you.

She just ignored it and went to class. Kade wasn't in any of Chay's classes but one. Creative writing. They both wanted to be writers. Kade wanted to be a journalist , and Chay wanted to be a novelist. Today was their first test and tomorrow was their first class presentation.

"You're gonna do great..I know it", Kade whispered winking at her. Chay smiled nervously and turned back to the board.

After school let out Chay was headed toward the jeep. Unexpectedly she got another text from the same number from earlier.

Where are you?

She brushed it off , got in the jeep , and waited on Kade. Chay turned some music on to get her mind off of those creepy texts. Chay so tuned into Maroon 5 she didn't feel her phone buzz when she got a text, finally the person called her. Without paying attention to who it was Chay answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"I'd like to know where you are?"

"And I'd like to know who are?"

"Who do you think cupcake?"

Chay felt chills all over her body and an uneasy feeling in her stomach. She knew exactly who it was.

"Hellooooo? You still there?......Okay well I guess I'll just hurt Kade and the rest of that pathetic family"

"You wouldn't!", Chay blurted out.

"Ahhh for a second there I thought you hung up. Now when are you going to come to the gym Chay? I've been waiting all day and my patience is wearing thin", Westyn said conniving as ever.

"I'm on my way"

"I know you are", Westyn said hanging up. Chay covered her face with her hands and started crying. Everything was going perfect, now this lying dirt bag was screwing everything up. Chay wiped her tears ,and texted Kade.

Go ahead and go home without me, I'll catch a ride :)

Trying to make it convincing as possible she sent the message, and headed toward the gym. It was so windy that it felt like it was cutting Chay in half. Most of the students were gone, and the ones that remained were inside participating in extra curricular activities. She finally made to the gym and no one was inside. It was so pitch black inside that Chay couldn't see her own hand.

"Hello? Westyn if you're here come out or I'm leaving", Chay said sternly.

A light came on in the center of the gym. Chay thought of the first time her and Kade kissed after reciting their poems to each other. They were just children then, and now so much has changed. The only thing Chay had to worry about then was moving across the state ,and now she has to worry about keeping her family , friends, and herself safe from danger. It was childish now to think that moving was such a big deal, now keeping a mad man away was the only thing that was a big deal...no matter the cost. The light started to flicker and eventually went out, right after that all of the lights came on. Chay looked around looking for him. No one was in there , nothing but loneliness.

Chay knew what she had to do. She walked to the center of gym once more and said, "I'm here Westyn ...you won"
