*Tara's POV*
panic took over my emotions as i ran up the stairs, checking the bathroom. nothing. the guest bedroom. nothing. the storage room. nothing.
the only room left was Natalie's. Shit. why didn't i check it first. I was looking for Natalie, she screamed, therefore i should have checked her room first. how could i be so stupid. I knocked on the door. nothing. Shit, this is not good. I checked the door handle, locked. fuck. what do i do?
*Natalie's POV*
I could hear Tara checking in every room and i double checked my door was locked before setting the note, with Tom's messy handwriting, neatly on the bed. this was going to be brilliant. All of the boys, apart from Jay, and Big Kev agreed to help me and it was foolproof. When everything was set up in my room, i heard Big Kev bring the van onto my drive. let the fun begin. i climbed out of my window, and down the set of ladders neatly placed for my escape. it was all planned out. Tom and Siva would go with Nathan back to the hotel and wait for Tara to show up and panic, while Max stayed with me and Big Kev and took us to a hotel across town. If Tara asked, Max was out drinking and would probably not make it home. Jay was also out with Amy, calming her down. Prick. All we needed now was for Tara to run in, read the note, realise and meet us tomorrow. Even though I still don't like Max after what happened with Tara, he is certainly a whole lot better than Jay right now.
Bring on tomorrow.
*Tara's POV*
this door won't move. Natalie never locks doors, she even forgets to lock the front door sometimes, so now I'm truly scared, something isn't right.
once i finally got the door open, the room was trashed, Shit. i looked everywhere, she isn't here. then i noticed a note on her bed. i picked it up and began reading,
Tara,
I assume you have managed to find away into Natalie's room shame it was just a little too late. oh well. I know you have something that belongs to me, so how about a deal. a trade if you like. just remember what you have that is rightfully mine, and come to the train station tomorrow at noon, then we shall trade. Don't worry, Natalie is in safe hands, i'll make sure she is well looked after. if you fail to bring both you and my 'item' tomorrow, then i guess you lose someone else you care ever so much about. First it was Siva, but somehow he came back, and this time, your beloved 'Chummy', but Natalie may never come back. dont forget now, i'd hate to see you mess up again.
lots of love,
Chelsea xoxo
i just cried and cried. How can she take away the other happy thing in my life. and give me no clue as to what this item is! I just broke down, holding Natalie's favourite teddy, Lotso, close.
Then it hit me.
"Nathan"
