I get ready for my last class for this week. Government! Uugh! I make my way to my closet grabbing a white crop top, ripped blue jeans, and a pair of Nike sneakers. I head to the leaving room; where Autumn is in the kitchen on her tippy toes reaching for a glass cup on the top shelve.

Suddenly I hear the cup shattered on the floor which causes me to scream and startling Autumn.

"Oh my gosh! Emma don't do that you scared the crap out of me."

"I'm so sorry, Autumn. I didn't mean to scare you."

"Are you feeling okay? Because you look a little insipid." She scrunched her eyebrows looking at me with a concerned look.

"I-uh-yeah I'm feeling fabulous. By the way, did you give my phone number to anyone?"

"No. Like I said when you moved in here I don't talk to anyone other than Emily, Ollie, and Jacko. Why are you asking?"

Come on Emma think quick.

"Uhm.... Because someone called me but it was a wrong number. Well, I must go or else I'll be late for class. Bye."

I dashed out the door before she could say anything.

The minute I stepped onto the parking lot, I start feeling the small droplets of sweat running down my face. Good thing I didn't do my makeup this morning, I cleaned my sweat with the back of my palm letting out a groan.

Why is Texas so blistering humid during fall? My phone chimes notifying me that I received a text message.

Unknown Number:  I see you.

Just when I look up there's a black SUV with tinted black windows, calmly driving next to me. I quickly look down avoiding any eye contact. My pulse is speeding up, my nerves are a train wreck, and sweating like I'm in a sauna.

When I hear the windows slowly going down, and the strong smell of Versace comes running to my nostrils. I immediately stop walking, my eyes widen, my heart completely stops, and my whole body is catatonic. I gradually look up but before I can see the guys face someone grabs me by the shoulders.

"Aaaaaagh!" 

"Emma, are you okay?!"  Mateo is standing in front of me giving me this disturbed look.

I disregarded what he said and turned back around to the black SUV, but it took off and the only glimpse I saw from where I was, is his arm resting on the on the window. I recognize those tattoos very well who else would have a tattoo of a lighthouse on their left arm along with the saying Momentum.

And that's when it hit me "Bruno!?" I whispered to myself. Everything turned black.


I woke up inside a truck which I didn't recognize, when I glanced to my left Mateo is sitting quietly staring at me with such worry.
