Red Sweater Tom

Captured

By now, the sun is starting to go down. It is starting to get a little cold out, but you don't want to go back inside just yet. You and Tom have spent the entire day together. After eating at the cafe, you and him shopped around at local boutiques the entire afternoon into the evening. Now you two are walking around the local park across the street from your house.
•
Tom notices you're shivering and rubs your arms. "Are you cold, darling? Should we go back?"
•
"No, no. It's fine. I want to keep walking with you," you say.
•
"Well, your house is just over there, let me run in quickly to get our jackets. Okay love?" He says to you.
•
You get another chill and hen agree. "Okay, just hurry!" You say. He is running towards your house before you can even finish.
•
You continue walking and let your mind drift to the past day or two. Your thinking about everything that happened with Tom. ~I still can't believe this is real...~ you think to yourself, then touch your lips at the memory of the last kiss he gave you.
•
It was in the last boutique. You had seen a vintage sign on a table with a jar in front of the sign. The sign had big red letters on it that read "ONE KISS ~ 25 CENTS" with a big red kiss print next to it. Tom had dropped a quarter on the jar and leaned down and kissed you. He then dumped out all his change into the jar, grabbed you by the waist pulling you towards him, then have you the a very romantic kiss.
•
The store owner giggled and jokingly said "get a room you two lovebirds" and we pulled away from eachother and giggle as well.
•
"Tom, you don't have to pay to kiss me, you can kiss me whenever you want!" You had said to him after you left.
•
"Oh really now?" He said with a mischievous grin. Before you could respond he had jumped in front of you and started giving you little kisses all over your face, then ended the kissing spree with a gentle kiss on your lips. You giggled, then grabbed his hand and you two continued walking towards the park.
•
You are pulled away from the recent memory when you see a dark rusty van pull up next to you. You look to your right and see Tom coming towards you from the other side of the park. ~I've already walked this far?~ you think. Then you hear the door to the van slide open. You look to see the same man you saw many weeks ago asking you for directions from the cafe to the bank.
•
You immediately know that it's him. The man. You start to run and look towards Tom once more. He is running towards you now and has dropped the jackets he was carrying for you. You see his mouth open and know he is yelling something at you, but you can't hear him. Your mind is too overwhelmed and you are just trying to get away.
•
You feel two strong arms wrap around your waist and pull you backwards.
•
You are screaming now, but nobody seems to be any where near you. Tom is getting closer, but you know he isn't going to make it.
•
The man throws you into the van and slides the door shut. You immediately try to open it but it is already locked. You hear the front driver door open and close, then the van takes off.
•
Your body slams against the back door from the force of taking off quickly. Your head hits against the metal door and everything goes black.
