Kidnapped By You

Chap.21

I wish I could back. If only Cameron told me where the apartment was then I’d be able to go back. Back to my new life- Kidnapped. I felt betrayed. My own best friends didn’t care about the disappearance of their own friend; Is this what they would’ve done if I had passed away infront of them? Move on just like that; in a heartbeat.

Whereas I, I hurt someone I began to actually care for. Guilt washed over me. Guilt and regret. I turned on my side, reaching for my bedside table. I grabbed the silver decorated photoframe and stared at it.

“A crab!” Bridget squealed whilst clapping her hands and jumping up and down in the water. My head darted upwards as I dashed towards her. “Oh my god! Lucas she actually found one!” I yelled, beckoning for him to come over. He jogged over from his sand pile and knelt down in the shallow water.

“I dare you to pick it up” I said with an evil grin. Bridget laughed, “Yeah! Go on big boy” She teased. Lucas hesitated before poking the crab. He looked up, his eyes were squinting from the light that was shining. “Fine” he raached down and slowly lifted it, “Fuck its pinching”

Bridget jumped backwards whilst I ran out the water, “Wait I wanna take a picture!” I called over my shoulder. I ran to our bags, searching for my phone. After grabbing it I ran back into the water.

“Photo time!” I sang happily. We all crouched down smiling at the camera. Lucas was still holding the crab. As soon as I snapped the picture he dropped the crab and we all shifted away from it.

“Oh my god. I cant believe you touched that” I gushed. He smiled proudly and pecked my cheek. “Babe, I don’t back down when it comes to dares” he said proudly and winked at me.

A tear made slowly made its way down my cheek as I smiled at the memory. But then reality struck me. Things were different now. I placed the photo back on my bedside table, facing downwards. I reached for Camerons phone and when I unlocked it there was the picture of the boy I missed. There he was drooling in his sleep. I sad smile formed as I wiped my face with my sleeve. I had to go back.

I wonder where Cameron was right now. Did he go back home to find an empty apartment? Did he notice that his phone was gone? Did he read my note; The note I regret writing. I wish I never stepped foot out of that apartment. Regret hit me- And it hit me hard.

A knock on the door snapped my out of my thoughts. I slowly walked down the stairs and to the front door. I peeked through the window to see Lucas standing staring at the ground. I froze and bit my lip. Slowly I opened the door slightly and his head snapped up, His eyes locking with mine.

“What?” I said bitterly. I shot him a solid glare of hatred. His eyebrows creased together, “I just… im sorry. I needed to see you. Look your my bestfriend and I missed you”

I scoffed, “You said you’d find me. You looked quite busy once I finally freed myself” I pushed the door but he blocked it, “Wait. Im sorry” I shook my head at him, “No Lucas. You don’t even know what I went through whilst I was kidnapped. I went through torture. But guess what, I also got helped by this guy called Cameron. And guess what, We developed feelings for eachother” I began. He looked confused. “But I hurt him! I left him and ran away for you! I hurt someone amazing for you! And in the end I find out your not worth it” I said with a raised voice. My blood was pumping through my body and I couldn’t control the rage that grew inside me. “Lucas go away. Don’t come back because I don’t need you. I hate you” I seethed through gritted teeth. I saw hurt flash in his eyes but I didn’t care. I slammed the door and made my way to the kitchen; still trying to process what just happened.

I opened the fridge to find run-off milk. I opened the cupboard and grabbed a packet of crisps. I tore the packet open and began munching on them. My leg started vibrating. At first it gave me a shock then I realised  it was Camerons phone. I pulled it out and accepted the call. Resting the phone between my ear and shoulder as I ate and made my way upstairs.

“Hello?” I said.

“Stacey! Where are you? You left!” Camerons voice replied.

“Cameron! Cameron I need you. Im sorry I wish I never left. I want to come back please come take me back? Im so sorry for everything I’ve done! Im sorry I hurt you Cameron!” I cried through the phone. I threw the crisps aside and sat on my bed clutching the phone to my ear.

“Where are you?” He asked, his voice was calm. I couldn’t even reply I was crying to much already. I realised how much I missed him, how much I wanted to be by his side.

“Im home...” I croaked out. I swallowed the lump in my throat, “Cameron please come get me? I miss you. Im so sorry I left” I said honestly.
