Memories

Kidnapper

I opened my eyes to see rays of sunshine coming down on my face, making me squint. I got up and stretched like a cat. My white curtains were drawn back as I looked through the window.

Shawn's blinds were up and he was looking for something. He looked at me and smiled, waving. I gestured back with a pained expression and a frown on my face. I then closed the curtains back and went to the kitchen.

"Good morning honey," my mom said already putting a plate of food on the table as I walked towards it. It was the pancakes with a heart that was made out of whipped cream.

"Thanks mom," I went to kiss her on the cheek and ate away my breakfast.

After breakfast, I decided to shower last night events in the drain. My outfit for today are jeans, a regular pocket tee, and my black shoes. It looked a little windy so I put a beanie on and grabbed my skateboard.

"Where are you going?" a voice said. I turned around to see a woke up Luke that was standing by my door. "It's none of your business," I said, exiting out of my room. I closed the door and put my board on the ground.

I smiled thinking about me and Shawn getting kicked out of a store for playing marco polo. A honk pulled me through my thoughts, "Hey get out of the way," the man impatiently shouted. I was in the middle of the road, "Sorry, my mistake." I skated out of the road and onto the sidewalk. "Maybe it was for the best." Those words echoed in my head, leaving me curious. "What does that mean? Maybe it was for the best?" I thought to myself.

The image of a bridge came to my mind and I tried my best to remember the location. It took me a while to find the bridge but I finally did. When I got there, the bridge looked torn like someone had release their anger on it.

"Come on Jo. Lets go to the bridge where the magical unicorns and rainbow glitter river are at," a twelve year old Shawn said with glee.

I rolled my eyes, "Shawn, those are for little kids. I don't want to go.

After Shawn throwing a fit, I gave out and agreed to go. We stood at the middle of the bridge and stepped on the platform to look at the blue water.

"Look, its a frog," I pointed out to the green jumping frog below us. Shawn suddenly smirked, "I dare you to jump and if you do, I'll give you ten dollars." I agreed to it and stepped over the side. The jump looked ten feet and uneasiness started to kick in.

"Shawn I don't kno-"

My foot slipped from the wooden ground, "AHH. Shawn help me," I yelled out to him. My hands were slowly slipping off. "Jo, grab my hand," a frantic, scared Shawn said. I grabbed his hand and he lifted me up. Right when I got to safety, I immediately hugged him. "Thank you, Shawn for saving me."

"Jo?" I turned around to see Shawn at the end of the bridge. I was already getting on my skateboard and leave the opposite way. "Please don't."

"Don't what? Jump off the bridge? You won't even remember that because your stupid memories are gone of us," I shouted, trying not to cry.

He walked over to me while I was standing still with my skateboard in my hand. I showed no emotion. Shawn put my head into his chest and hugged me, "I'm so sorry, Jo."
I didn't hug him back but pushed him a little and skated away from him as fast as I can.

I decided that today was enough and went home. I slammed the door shut and ran to my room. Why am I so emotional today? I sat on my bed with my knees up and tears fell off my face. "Jo, is everything okay?" I heard my mom call out from the living room. I yelled back, "Yes mom, everything is okay."

After a crying session later, a hand gently knocked on my door. I wiped away my tears quickly and cleared my throat, "Who is it?"

"It's Shawn," his voice was muffled from the door between us.

"Go away," I shouted, throwing a shoe at the door.

The door opened to reveal his face and I covered myself with my blanket, facing the wall. I felt the bed dip down near my back. "Hey," Shawn softly said. I didn't say anything and he continued on. "I'm really sorry for what I said last night. I didn't know it was going to hurt you, Jo." Nothing came out of my mouth. He sighed, "Please, Jo. I don't want us fighting." I turned around and poked one of my eyes out of the blanket, "I'll accept your apology if you bring me pizza." Shawn shrugged his shoulders, "Well here goes nothing."

I was confused on that until he lifted me out of bed. "Shawn let go," I exclaimed thrashing around but he had a firm grip on me and threw me on his shoulder.

"Damn Shawn," I hollered. "Your ass is bigger than mine." He rolled his eyes, "What ass?"

He walked out of the room and went to my mom who was in the living room, a camera in her hand. "Thanks Evelyn for letting me."

My eyes went wide, "What?!? Mom, I thought you were on my side," I whined, still on Shawn's shoulders. "I am but you looked gloomy today so I asked Shawn to come," my mom said, still recording. "Say hi to the camera."

"When you watch this video, Shawn, you won't have any kids," I smiled, pointing to the camera. I heard a smack on my butt. "Hey," I shouted. "Oops," Shawn devilishly smirked. "Now smile you two," my mom said. Shawn smiled with his teeth showing and me rolling my eyes. "That's a keeper. You two have fun," she said, already waving us a goodbye. Shawn didn't let me go until he put my in the passenger seat in his car. "Buckle up, honey," he winked.

I rolled my eyes, "I didn't sign any contract with you kidnapping me. "Stop talking," he said. "Where the heck are we going?" He didn't respond.

After ten minutes, we were at a pizza parlor. My jaw dropped, "You kidnapped me to go to a pizza parlor?" He shrugged his shoulders, "You said you'll accept my apology if you got pizza so do you want pizza or not?"
"You are something, Shawn."

//Hey guys! Hope you had a good Thursday. I'm still shook from the TNHMB music video. Was I the only who screamed their butt off when Shawn missed her at the end?
