K I D N A P P E D (Roc Royal Story)

Too Late

     

       As I turned around I noticed Chresanto standing by the door, I stopped dancing and turned the music off embarrassed. I looked to the floor to cover up my red face. He walked up to me and put his hand under my chin and smiled. "Hey, I thought that was pretty good dancing, looks like you and Ej may be in competition" He laughed. I stared at him in complete puzzlement. "Jacob said he sang, so he dances too?" I asked, he cringed as I said Jacob and his mood switched, he looked like he could kill right now. I backed up, scared of what he might do.

He just walked out of the room and slammed the door. I decided to roam around and find Ej, maybe he'll be friends with me. I knocked on the door that was labelled 'Ej Dude' as it was the only one not labelled as a name, besides mine. He answered with in the second knock. "Look Jake I don't know maybe he likes her!" He screamed without looking... I deliberately coughed, to get his attention. He turned around and I could already tell he was embarrassed.

"I just thought I'd make a friend." I said in a small voice. He looked at me wary and let me into his room. "I don't think Roc, I mean Chresanto would like it. Since you've came in the house, his been super protective. So it's best we just talk when we're working." I unexpectedly began to tear up, I felt like I had nobody to go to but Chresanto, but I just had this real bad feeling about him.

I decided to look for Chresanto, since he was the only person I could actually go to. First I looked in his room. He was crying in the corner of his room, holding onto a necklace? I felt so sorry for him, I lay down next to him and just embraced him in my arms. "It was my mothers, I took it when they dragged me from my house. So many times I've wanted to go back, but they said that even if I was to fail a mission, they'd kill my family!" He managed to blurt out beyond the tears.

Whenever my brother was down, he'd always make me sing a song to him to relax him, make him think about something else. So I decided to sing a song to Chresanto. "Across the ocean, across the sea, Starting to forget the way you look at me now. Over the mountains, across the sky, Need to see your face, I need to look in your eyes. Through the storm and through the clouds, Bumps in the road and upside downs. I know its hard, to sleep at night, Don't you worry, 'cause everything's gonna be alright." I sang softly in his ear whilst rocking him.

He turned around to face me and smiled, I looked down at him replying the smile. He started to lean in, I couldn't help myself but lean back down to him. Our lips placed perfectly together, I smiled as he put both his hands around my face. As he pulled away I felt my lips. It was my first kiss and my lips felt tingly. He chuckled as he watched me do so.

"You seem amazed, haven't you kissed anybody before?" he joked. I shook my head seriously, he looked at me in shock. "But you're beautiful, how could anybody not want to date you" he questioned looking at me seriously, he looked quite scary to be honest. I replied in my small voice, "Welcome to my world."

Jacob knocked on Chresano's room. He saw him smirked and kissed my cheek; Jacob looked down at his feet as he got back up and looked at me shaking his head hurt. "Big Man needs you." Chresanto nodded and walked out the door. I checked to see if he was gone and turned back around to Jacob. "I don't understand you, you completely ignore me, then you want to look all hurt when Chresanto kisses my cheek. What's up with that?" I questioned. Jacob looked around and took me into his room. His room was filled with posters of rock bands. 'My type of room' I thought to myself.

"Jamara, you cant be with Roc, well Chresanto-" I cut him off out of curiosity "why do you call him Roc?" "We all have nicknames for ourselves Chresanto is Roc, I'm Prince, Ej is Ejiah and Raquan is just Ray. Anyway listen, you can't be with him, you don't understand what his like. I'd stay away now before he becomes too attached to you."

Roc came busting in Prince's room. He looked at him with such anger, he basically dragged me outside and put me in his room, as I was being dragged out Prince mouthed 'too late'. I sat in my room, all our rooms have soundproof walls, made for if anybody wanted to get nasty . I couldn't help but think of what Prince said... what am I too late for?
