The Abduction

Claire's POV:

I stood with Simon next to the camp fire and watched while some idiot teenage boys did handstands in the grass while drinking beer upside down.

"Why are we even here?" I asked Simon as I sat on one of the lawn chairs and he handed me a water bottle. "Because Amber invited us." He said and sighed and sat next to me opening a beer. Amber was his girlfriend. She was a slut. She told him she was going to get marshmallows for the s'mores but she was probably off hooking up with someone in the woods.

"Amber is not even here. Let's bail. I got 10 bucks lets go to starbucks." I said. "Starbucks isn't open." He sighed looking around for amber and impatiently tapping his fingers against the chair. "The one at the book store is open till 11pm.." I said. "How do you know that?" He asked. "I live at the bookstore simon. Don't you know me at all." I said and he chuckled.

Simon was my best friend since like pre school. Were always hanging out or studying together or something. Or on nights like tonight going to lame highschool camp fires together.

"Okay if she's not back in 10 minutes we'll go to starbucks." He said. "Andddd you'll buy me a new book since I had to waste 3 hours here with you." I said. "Fine." He said. "Yay." I said with a happy smile.

I sighed and got up. "I'm gonna go find a bathroom." I said and Simon nodded and I walked towards the barn by the woods. I walked inside to see long rows of horses all inside the barn. I walked past the horses looking around when I bumped into some guy. "Oh sorry." He said. "That's fine." I said and looked up at him to see max the highschools player. "You know I just got distracted... You're pretty cute." He said reaching up to run his fingers through my hair.

I laughed and slapped his hand away. "And you're pretty drunk." I said and walked past him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back towards me and shoved me against a wall. "Don't walk away from me!" He said. "Let go of me!" I said trying to squirm out of his grip. "Maybe I need to teach you a lesson." He said and I let out a loud scream but he covered my mouth. "Oh shut up. No one hears y-" he tried to say but simon punched him.

"LETS GO CLAIRE!" Simon yelled grabbing me and we ran back to Simons car and I got in and simon backed the car up and started driving. "How'd you know to come get me?" I asked out of breath. "I heard the scream. I knew it was you." He said and I nodded. "Simon slow down.." I said and he looked at the speed to see he was doing 80mph. "Whoops.." He said and slowed the car down. "You okay? He didn't hurt you?" Asked simon. "Nope I'm fine." I said and he nodded. "If I ever get my hands on that bastard again I swear I'll-" "Simon no." I cut him off. "The guys a freak. He could have seriously hurt you if I wouldn't have shown up. And you're just so tiny." He said and I rolled my eyes. " I can take care of myself mom." I said with a chuckle. "Hey don't mom me I saved your ass." He said and I sighed. "And I'm very thankful. Thank you simon." I laughed and hugged him while he drove. "Starbucks time?" I asked. "Okay Starbucks time." He laughed.

I sat in the middle of a ton of books spread out around the floor and sighed. "But this one comes with the laminated book mark which has quotes from the series." I said to Simon. He groaned and let his head hit the wooden book shelf. "Just pick a book and let's go I'm so tired." He whined. "It's only 10:30 shut up loser." I said and sighed and put the books back and held up the book I had chosen for Simon to buy me. "Okay great lets go." He said and paid for my book and then we walked over to the Starbucks.

"I'll have a grande unsweetened green tea please." I said with a smile. "And I'll have a grande Carmel frappuccino." Simon said and the guy nodded and we paid and stepped back and waited. "So what time do I have to be at the stadium?" I asked. "Next Friday? You gotta be there at 7." He said.

Simons in a band and they got a gig opening up for some bigger band at one of the stadiums close here. "Okay.. I'll be there. You got the backstage pass for me?" I asked and he nodded. "I'll give it to you when I see you Monday." He said and I nodded. "Sounds like a plan stan." I said and the guy handed us our starbucks and we left the bookstore.

Simon drove me home and dropped me off and I sighed and got out and waved goodbye to Simon and went inside my house and walked into the kitchen to see my dad looking through some work papers. "How was the party.. I expected you to be home later.. It's only 11:30.." He said not looking up at me. I opened the fridge and got an apple. "Parties just aren't my thing. So me and Simon ditched and went to the book store and got starbucks." I said. "Sounds fun hun." My dad said not looking up. "And I think I have some kind of std from that guy I hooked up with." I said sarcastically. "That's great I'm glad you had fun." My dad said still not listening. "Goodnight dad." I said walking out of the kitchen. "Okay." He said and I sighed.

I went to my room and started reading my new book and eating my apple when my phone beeped with a unknown number calling. "Hello?" I asked. No answer. "Hello?" I asked again. Still no answer. "Simon if you're pranking me you're an idiot." I said. Still no answer. I sighed and hung up and went back to my book. 5 minutes later the phone rang again. "Hello?" I asked. No answer. "Whoever this is this really isn't funny." I said and hung up. I heard a knock at the front door and sighed and got up and went and opened it..

No one was there..

I stepped out and looked around. "Funny prank guys now fuck off." I yelled into the darkness and sighed. I spun around and saw a envelope with my name written on it taped to the doorbell. I grabbed it and opened it.

"Im watching you now Claire. You will be mine." Said the note..

I looked around and shook my head and walked back inside and shut the door making sure it locked. "Just a prank.." I told myself and tore up the envelope and note and threw it in the fireplace that had a fire going in the living room and I sighed... I still couldn't shake the feeling of being watched while I went to bed...
