The Tangled Rose (Book One in the Tangled Series) (Editing)

Chapter 12

About a 4 months of being engaged to Kyle I feel like the happiest woman alive! I love him and I can't wait to marry him!

"Hey hurry up we will be late," I yell looking around the house for Kyle. I run up to Mikes room and find him standing in front of the mirror fiddling with his bowtie.

"I'm sorry baby. I can't figure this out can you help me?" I walk over to him and start to tie his bowtie. I only know how because I was watching an advertisement on youtube. I can't believe the rehearsal dinner is tonight.

"There," I say with a smile as I place my hands on his shoulders. He pulls me up close to him.

"Last night was the best night of my life. I love you, Rose!"

"I love you too Kyle and last night was amazing." Then I lean in and give him a kiss. I pull away and realize what time it is. "Kyle we are going to be at least 10 minutes late to the diner. We have to go now." I start to drag him out of the room, outside and into the car.

When we got there I realized it took us 20 minutes so we were 15 minutes late. Kyle was moving too slow. "Kyle c'mon we are already 15 minutes late." Kyle gets out of the car I start to run towards the building but Kyle stops me. I don't want Mike to make fun of us.

"Hey slow down," he says with a small laugh.

"I can't, were late."

"So? The rehearsal dinner is for us. Let's calmly walk together." He says with a smile as he intertwined his fingers into mine. Then we both walk there together holding hands. We stand in front of the door and quickly open it. Everyone is sitting and talking. Mike is the first to notice us so he stands straight up.

"Well if it isn't the LATE engaged couple. Why you guys so late?" He asked with a smile. Kyle, please don't say anything to make it worse.

"We had some clothing difficulties." Crap Kyle really?!

"Ahh I see some 'clothing difficulties'," he replies with laughter. "Come sit down," he says gesturing toward the two empty seats next to each other. We go sit down and I hear Mike tap the side of his glass with the spoon.

"Okay, I would like to make a toast to the soon to be married couple. Rose, you are my little sis and it's kinda depressing that you are getting married before me but I am happy that you have found someone that you truly love. And Kyle ....... I have grown to like you. but if you hurt her I will kill you! ....... Cheers." After he sits down I give him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Hey I saw that...... so I don't get a kiss?" Kyle says with a pouty face.

"I would never leave you cold," I say with a smile as I lean in and give him a long kiss.

All the lights shut off. It is completely dark and I can't see a thing. I feel around for Kyle and finally, find the face that was just kissing.

"Kyle, is this you?"

"Yes. Are you okay?" He asks with caution in his voice.

"Yeah but I'm scared."

"The lights should be on soon." Then I feel something cold and scratchy cover my mouth.

"Squirm and I will kill Kyle. Calmly get up and come with me." I slowly start to stand up but as I stand up I give a small tug on kyles shirt. The mysterious man pulled me out of the room the next thing that was actually visible was Colton's face. I turn and realize that there is a brick wall behind me. "If you make a sound I will kill Mike as well."

"If you kidnapped me because you want to steal my virginity, I am sorry but your too late Kyle already did that." His face gets red then he slaps me. This time hard enough to make me fall to the floor.

"You are coming to New York with me! You are mine now!"

"Why the hell would I ever go with you?!"

"You will or you will regret it!" he says taking out a gun and holding it to my neck.

All of a sudden I hear footsteps running down the alley behind the building. It's Kyle! When Colton turns his head to see who is coming. No Kyle go back! Please, he has a gun! Colton points the gun at Kyle as he has me pinned against the wall so I can't do anything.

"Come any closer and I will shoot," he yelled. But Kyle kept running. NOOO!!!! Two gunshots go off and ring in my ears as tears start to fall. Kyle starts to wobble then falls to the ground because Colton shot him in the stomach and in his right leg. Tears now flood from my eyes and I struggle to get away then finally do. I run over to Kyle and turn him over. He is panting and bleeding all over.

"I will find you Rose!" he yells running off. I pull my cell phone out of my pocket and dial 911.

"Hello, this is 911 what's your emergency?"

"My fiance got shot in the stomach and leg. I'm in the alley next to Ford Theater. Please hurry!"

"Okay ma'am an ambulance is on its way. It should be there in about 10 minutes." I hang up the phone.

"Kyle, can you hear me?" I ask still crying.

"Rose. I. Can't. Let. Anyone. Hurt. You." He pants out.

"Kyle please stay with me I can't live without you!"

"I love you. Promise me you will live. You will get married. Have kids. Grow Old."

"I love you, Kyle! I promise. Nooo, Kyle please stay with me." I cry out holding him in my shaking arms.

"Kiss me before I go." I am still crying. I lean in to kiss him and we french kiss for the last time. When I pull away I realize that Kyle is gone. I lay on Kyle's lifeless body. about 5 minutes later I feel someone yank me up. It was Colton.

"No! Leave me with him!" I cry out.

"Get up now!" he says yanking me up harder. I was too dead inside to care. I want to jump off a bridge... Please.....

"Put these on." He hands me a mini skirt, red lace bra with a matching thong, a black vest that leaves about 4 or 5 inches of my belly showing, and black 3-inch heels.

"I called the cops," I say. We run across the street and into the restaurant bathroom he follows in behind and goes into the girl's bathroom locking the door behind him.

"Hurry up and change." I start to take my clothes off right in front of him as tears still fall down my face. I face the other way when I put on the bra and thong. Then I pull the miniskirt all the way up to my waist. It just barely covers my ass. Then I put on the vest. Finally, I slip into the heels.

"Wow! It was a mistake to dump you!"

"Fuck You!!" I say angrily but then go back to my dead self.

"Let's go my little slut." He drags me out of the restaurant and we got in a cab heading to the airport. We wait for our flight to be called.

"Flight 462 to New York."

"Well, we better get going."

When we get on the plane I look around for a phone that says I just got kidnapped I'm going to hell now!
