Hostage

Hostage (21)

Rarzz!! Last chapter omg!!! You have to let me know what you think! Alright. I know I'm really not a good writer, and this story probably sucked, but oh well. I had fun writing it, and some people enjoyed it. So it's okay with me. After this chapter, yes there is an epilogue, so yea...Anyways last chapter...

I let out a low sigh. Things have been a bit complicated with keeping the secret lately, much harder. It seemed everywhere I went there was something to remind me of it all, and I think it was beginning to haunt me. I had the sinking feeling we were being watched for weeks, though no one really seemed to be worried too much. I remember like not even two weeks ago I felt completely safe, that everything was okay, but the feeling came back again. Kenzie kept the secret but she didn't stick around much. It didn't bother me that much though; I was completely content with that. It had always been just us four so I was fine with that.

I looked out the window of my final class of the day. It was bright and sunshiny out, mocking my mood. It was almost summer vacation already, I couldn't believe that I had first ended up being held hostage by the guys in late fall. It's been so long.

Finally the bell rang, releasing us all out to the weekend. I jumped from my seat and stood by the door waiting for Alex. He came to my side, taking my hand and we walked out of the room. We walked down the hallway, eventually passing Kenzie's classroom. She had stood outside waiting for us. "Geez I wish it was Summer Vacation." She groaned falling into step beside us.

I laughed. "That's not till June, Kenz. Only a few more weeks." She shrugged and we both laughed.

"What are you guys doing later?" She asked us as we reached Alex's locker. I turned to her and shrugged.

"No clue. Something nice though, but he won't tell me anything." I rolled my eyes and Kenzie laughed. We watched Ricky walked past and he gave us a nod of his head. "It isn't getting any easier. I mean he's cool with Alex and all, but..."

She nodded her head sympathetically. "I know what you mean, but this can't go on forever. He just won't listen. You've got to do it." I had really thought he was quitting. Weeks had gone by that he hadn't had anything, but then something happened. I don't know what, but one day he was extremely upset, and then...

Alex shut his locker and stood at my side. "It's all anyone can do. We tried our best." I nodded my head, and he put his arms around me in a comforting hug. "It will be okay." I didn't say anything, trying to clear my head of all the horrible thoughts, and images filling up, and I felt like I was drowning in it all. I kept imagining the sound of sirens racing down the street to us. Shouts and yells filling the air, people telling us to get away as they went to him. Watching him walk away in cuffs and looking back at me, a look of betrayal on his face. Then the guilt washing over me as they took him away, and he disappeared forever.

"Let's not think about this right now. Common." Alex took my hand in his again and we walked to my locker. I grabbed my things, stuffing it into my bare locker and then slammed it shut.

"Are you ever going to tell me what we're going to do or not?" I asked as we headed out of the building. Alex shook his head and I sighed. "See ya later Kenzie." I waved to my best friend and headed to the car.

We stopped at the house for awhile to relax after school. I sat around just completely going nuts with curiosity. I hated having to be kept in the low down on things. Finally after about an hour Alex said we could go now.

"Where are we going?" I asked for the millionth time since we've been on the road.

"Wait and see." Was the answer that I got, like every time. I rolled my eyes and stared at the window. Finally the car stopped in a parking lot somewhere in the Metro Parks.
