Kidnapped By You

Chap.30

I jolted awake from my loud ringtone and the buzz of a vibration.

“What the-” I squinted my eyes as I looked at the brightly lit screen. I managed to make out a number but I didn’t recognise who’s it could be. My phone kept buzzing in my hand.

Cameron let out a tired groan as he twisted on his side, “What is it?” he asked sleepily. I shrugged and stared at the incoming call displayed on my screen. “Your mum?” Cameron asked. His voice was heavy and rough.

I slowly accepted the call and raised my phone up to my ear, “Hello?” I tried to get rid off the sleepiness in my voice as I spoke.

“Hi, Stacey. Its me- Your mother” She greeted. I recognised her voice. I soaked in the moment as I pushed aside the many memories flooding my mind.

“Oh Hi mum.” I answered simply.

“Stacey what did you mean by saying I don’t know where you are? You are at home, right?” She asked.

Immediately a smirk grew on my face. Curious lady. Cameron gave me an odd look and mouthed: Put it on loudspeaker. I nodded and did as he asked.

“Oh, No im not home… otherwise I wouldn’t of said that. Actually no, Im currently kidnapped.” I said casually, as if this were no big of a deal. Cameron nodded his head and eyed me as I continued smirking.

“Stacey, Im not joking around with you…” My mum replied sternly.

“No, Neither am I mum. Im kidnapped by this short stubby man, high pitched voice, ugly, saliva city and pretty violent” I said as I ticked them off on my fingers. Cameron pursed his lips.

“Roderick” Cameron whispered. Then he reached for the phone, bringing it closer to his face, “Hello Ma’am. Im Cameron and well I was hired to kidnapped your daughter but-”

Suddenly before he could even finish my mum began screaming through the phone, cursing and yelling at Cameron.

“Mum stop! He’s helping me for goodness sake. Let him finish!” I yelled over her voice. She finally hushed as Cameron began speaking,

“As I was saying, I was hired to kidnap Stacey but im actually secretly helping her. I promise I am trying my hardest to protect her simply because I’ve learned to love her. But shes not safe.” He informed her.

“Whos asked you to kidnap her?” She asked.

I paused and looked at Cameron. I didn’t know Mickeys real name.

“Roderick” Cameron said.

“No. Oh god no” My mum whispered. Her voice was hitched.

“Mum, what is it? Mum? He’s always asking me about you… is there something up?” I asked her. I was beginning to get nervous.

“Honey, Im sorry this was not meant to happen. I left so he wouldn’t take you. I was trying to protect you. Im so sorry. How did he find you?” She babbled. I was still confused. But it seemed like she did leave to try and help me, But still she did it the wrong way. She hurt me.

“I can answer that.” Cameron informed her before I could even think let alone speak.

“Roderick had hired someone else to spy on Stacey one day. He knew what school she went to but he didn’t know where she lived. Anyway he say Stacey and 2 of her friends go into a house at Benys Street.”

“Bentlys street- That’s bridgets house” I corrected him.

“As I was saying, I was then sent to follow them from that house. And I kidnapped Stacey as I was ordered.” Cameron finished.

My mum remained silent before snapping, “Why would you do that?”

Cameron pursed his lips as I could see pain flash in his eyes. I felt sorry for him, he must feel so bad.

“Mum stop it. He’s nice. Im glad he did because in the end Roderick would get me- Im just lucky he sent someone as kind as Cameron. He’s helping me mum. No one else helped me- Not even you.” I said; I knew my comment might’ve been hurtful but it was true, she was never there for me from the day she left.

“No, Your right Miss Bath. I do have a reason why I did what I did-” Cameron began before I hushed him by placing my finger over his lips mouthing ‘Not now’

He nodded and I picked up the phone, “Hey mum, Listen what am I meant to do? He’s been asking me where you where for ages. What do I say?” I asked, pleading for help.

“Stacey, im coming for you babygirl. Im coming back for you. Tell me where you are and I’ll be here. Im not letting my babygirl get hurt” She cried.

“Sorry to interrupt but I don’t think its safe for you to come. That’s who he wants- You.” Cameron pointed out.

“He can have me but not my baby girl. Stacey I’ll get you out of there somehow okay?”

“Mum why does he want you?” I blurted out. I wanted to know what was going on. Why would Mickey or shall I say- Roderick want my mum… Hmm…

“I-It doesn’t matter honey. All that matters is that I get you out of there. I’ll come for you” She promised.

I couldn’t help but smile although part of me felt as if this was just another broken promise. She had lied before, surely she can lie again- But this time im not alone, I have Cameron with me.
