Stuck In Reverse (#wattys2018)

(5) "why would you, of all peopke kidnap me?"

Recap
(I let out a shriek only to have to hands slammed back on my mouth... I've been kidnapped!)

My hands went to the ones that kept my mouth shut, trying to pry them away.

"Shh!" I heard and I panicked the more, why was I kidnapped??

Who did I wrong? What are they going to do to me? Kill me??

I whimpered, trying harder to claw the hands off me.

"Leah, stop it... it's me!!" The now familiar voice said and I froze.

Who the hell was that??

Why would I stop it when he would kill me.

Now I wouldn't get married, which was good trust me, but then I would die? I whimpered

I think my fate is to die a virgin.

I started to cry.

Why did I break Josh's pencil in the eight grade? Was he back for revenge? I begged him! I fucking begged him and bought him five new pencils, though he said he would get his revenge, was that what he was doing?

"Shit leah, please stop crying, I'm gonna lift my hands now... Promise not to shout?" The voice whispered and I nodded frantically.

I needed my mouth to beg him when he was about to kill me.

"Sure?" He asked uncertainly and I nodded again, why didn't he believe me?

I scoffed mentally, you don't believe yourself Leah, why the hell would he?

"Leah.."

What the hell?? I said yes already! I wasn't going to shout!

Okay, breathe Leah... Don't shout, don't even make a sound, got it?

I nodded more confidently and my captor sighed, as if he knew letting me go was a bad idea.

As soon as he let me go, I opened my mouth to shout again but he was faster, he turned me to face him and I froze mid shout to see Drake staring down at me in amusement.

I opened my mouth in awe, Drake was my captor??

What did I ever do to him?

Wait...

Oh god! Now he was going to think I was a freak!! Why didn't I just behave like those badass actresses in the movies when they kidnapped them?

You know, give a wink and stay calm or something?

He still stared at me, laughter threatening to burst from the corners of his mouth, I cleared my throat, deep bloody red creeping through my neck and up to my cheeks and ears.

I rolled my eyes mentally, normal people blushed pink, which was cute but I either blushed crimson or bloody red, what the hell?

Oh yeah, Drake's still here, now Leah no stammering...remember....NO STAMMERING AT ALL!

"D-dr-drake??"

Gosh! It was just a name Leah! A name! And you had to stammer!

"Hi..." He muttered scratching the back of his head nervously.

I smiled "hi..." I replied and then frowned.

Hi? Hi? Hi Leah? That's what you could say??
