Hostage

Hostage (16)

Okay guys, here is the next chapter. I really, sadly and unfortunately, think that there might only be a few more chapters till it ends. I know, so sad. I'm thinking maybe 3 or 4 more chapters and the epilogue. Maybe, depends on if I think of more things to throw in. It's possible. I very much like this story so it could also continue a bit longer as well. Who knows. Anyways here is the next chapter, looking forward to read you comments. My 80 awesome fans rock!

PS I would read in full view. A lot of italics.

My life was spiraling down into a miserable torrent of hell. It had been almost a week, it was Friday. I hadn't talked to Ricky. I hadn't talked to Alex. I hadn't talked to Kenzie. Tyler tried talking to me. He failed. I was hurting everyone around me with every little move I made, and I couldn't think of a way to go without making things worse. I was stuck in the deepest mess of mud I could get myself in. worst of all I didn't have a bet friend to confide in.

I needed my best friend right now more than anything. She may be super mad at me right now, but there was a way I could fix that. One way, that may get me into HUGE trouble, but it was the only way.

In my final class of the day, Language Arts, a few minutes before the bell was when my plan began. I mentally crossed my fingers and prayed this would work. I got up from my desk and went up to the teacher. "Mr. Perry can I leave a few minutes early, I don't feel to good." The teacher nodded his head and I turned to the door. Going out I looked back to Alex, whom I had class with. He raised an eyebrow, confused, but I just turned away and darted down the hall.

The bell rang just as I reached Kenzie's classroom. She was one of the first ones out. "Kenzie! I need to talk to you now!" She stopped and stared at me. I looked around frantically. "Common!" when she didn't move I grabbed her arm and began to drag her down the long hall. "Need to go to your locker?" I looked back and she shook her head. Good. This was better for us. We could just run. We had to hurry, these guys moved fast.

People glared angrily at us as I pushed past but I ignored them, throwing open one of the doors as we ran. "Where did you park?" Kenzie hurriedly led me to the car. WE both hopped in and she started the car pulling out of the parking lot. "Can you please tell me where we are going?" I blinked.

"Uh..." I didn't know where to go exactly. "Um...somewhere alone so we can talk. Where no one would think to look." Kenzie gave me a look saying, 'Are you crazy?' I shrugged and she just shook her head and drove.

We ended up in one of the metro parks, on a bench where not many people where at. Who would expect us to be here? After awhile of just plain old silence, I felt tears streaming from my eyes and I broke down.

"Lexi?!" Kenzie called out in surprise. Best friend mode instantly took her over and she wrapped her arms around me. "Hush now. Shh, it's okay." She rubbed my arm and tried to calm me. It didn't take long considering I normally didn't shed many tears despite how emotional I could be.

When I finally calmed, I began to tell Kenzie everything that had happened the past few months. EVERYTHING. From that first weekend when I was kidnapped and held hostage, all up until last weekend. Every detail, well mostly every detail. Then it was silent again.

After what seemed like an eternity but was probably only 10 minutes, Kenzie spoke. "I can't believe. You really got yourself into some mess this time huh?" I didn't say anything. After a bit more of silence she spoke again. "Tell you what. I'm going to help you. We are going to find a way to fix this problem, we are going to help Ricky don't worry." She paused. "As for your love life.." she laughed. "I still think Ricky is a total jerk but who knows, really? He may like you after all. But Alex so does that's for sure." I couldn't help but laugh then. It felt sooo good to have my friend to talk to again, and to finally have this entire secret off my chest. "I forgive you for missing my party too. You'll make it up though." I grinned, and she returned the smile.
