Jordan POV
"Did you want anything out of here?"BJ asked me as we walked through the aisles of a Circle K gas station.
I shook my head no and followed him around the store. "Why are you buying those?"I asked, watching him through multiple boxes of condoms into the small buggy he was holding.
"Don't worry about it."He mumbled. My heart started to race as we walked up to the counter so he could pay. What is he gonna do with those?, I asked myself.
"Come on."He snatched my hand and pulled me out of the store.
"Why you handling me like that?"I questioned, trying to jerk away. I don't know BJ all that well, this is only our second time going out. He never handled me roughly on our first outing and I thought he was a sweet guy. I don't like being grabbed on in such a way.
"Get your ass in the car."He literally flung me into the backseat and slammed the door. My eyebrows furrowed. He's never cussed at me or told me what to do...
"What's your problem?!"I tried to climb into the front seat until he pushed me back down. The fear in me was setting in so I whipped out my phone and went straight to text Jeremiah.
Me: COME GET ME
Best🤤: wya
Me: idk just come get me HURRY UP
Best🤤: drop location rfn
That was two hours ago and I knew Miah was worried about me. I was scared for my life, not knowing what was about to happen to me. An hour ago, it dawned on me that I should've just listened to what my best friend was saying. He was right about me not knowing my way around here and not having enough knowledge about some of the boys down here.
If he ever does find me, I just know he'll give him hell about not listening to me. At this moment, I didn't care. I just didn't want to be around BJ anymore.
"Drink this,"BJ shoved a cup in my face. I turned on the light in the car to try to see what the drink was but the cup was nowhere near see-through. It was black and shaped like a cup used for coffee.
"I don't want to!"I screamed, yanking the top off and throwing the cup on him. The black liquid splashed on him and the wheel.
"You dumb bitch!"He muttered just as the car stopped. "Let me out of here!"I demanded.
"She giving you a lil trouble in there?"I heard some guy say. I heard laughs.
"She's new and pretty darn stupid if ya ask me."BJ told them. Fuck you, I thought. The back door opened and parked next to us was a white van.
One of the guys opened it and I saw a bunch of other girls in there. The fuck is this...
BJ tried to throw me into the van to be with the other women in there but I kicked him in his stomach.
I was regretting wearing these stupid heels tonight because they were slowing me down as I tried to run away. I couldn't see where I was going, it was dark. The only light I had, came from the moon and stars in the sky; they weren't helping.
"Get back here!"One of the guys took off, running after me. As I ran, I nervously and quickly typed up a message.
Me: th y sex traffi
It doesn't take long to put two and two together when you see hella half naked girls in a van and men trying to push you to get in there with them. I knew what the hell they were trying to do.
I couldn't even finish the message before I felt my head bleeding. My body hit the hard ground. The last thing I saw were three guys standing over me.
THE NEXT DAY-
Haley POV
"I didn't even get to take pictures with the celebrities!"I whined to them over House-party. Miah dropped me off last night to go look for Jordan and I've been home ever since.
"Did he ever find her?"Aleja asked. "Why do you care so much about her?"Kaleigh asked before I could say something.
"She seems like a nice person. You just hating on her because you secretly like J- let me shut up."Aleja went back eating her popcorn.
"Yeah, shut up before you start something you can't finish."Kaleigh shot back.
"Guys! We're here to discuss Haley's night, not to hear y'all bicker."Kaden jumped in the middle. Kaden was right. I made a mental note to ask Kaleigh about her little crush since I've never heard anything about that situation.
"Anyways, he bought me home early so he could go look for her."
"Are you still gonna be insecure now that you've met his family?"Kaden asked.
"I was never insecure."I flipped my weave over shoulder. "Just a lil worried."
"Worried or not, are you okay now?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Maybe you should secure your spot a bit more. You say he knows a lot of people with money."Kaleigh suggested.
"Just because his people got money don't mean HE got money."Aleja gave her two cents. "Don't play on my baby like he broke."I checked her in a playful tone but everyone could tell I was serious.
"Back to what I was saying, you need to trap his ass. That way, you'll be in his life forever."Kaleigh finished.
"What you mean trap him?"
"I know you not tryna get that girl to trap that boy with a baby. Where my holy water at?"Kaden started to look around her room for some holy water. Kaden is the mom of our group. We needed her to keep us level. I like to believe that she was born way after her time; meaning that she should've been born back when other people had her frame of mind. It's the twenty first century and if you don't have a friend like her, I advise you to get one.
"Not necessarily with a baby."
"Yes, please explain because trapping him with a baby would be trapping myself as well."
"I'm saying you should wire his mind. Change the way he thinks about things. For example, the little rat he calls his best friend. Change the way he thinks about her. How do you think I got my ex to stay with me for such a long time."Kaleigh rambled.
"Not exactly a long time if y'all aren't together anymore."Kaden spoke.
"Girl hush. Me and him gonna get back together soon anyway."
"Explain more."
"Manipulate his ass! That's all there is to it."
Should Haley take her friends advice?
