Kidnapped (Unrevised version)

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Chelsea's POV

I thought that in all those movies and books, girls running into the bathroom, locking the stall, sitting on the toilet, and sobbing only happens in books. Turns out I was wrong. I was wrong about a lot of things. The wind swirled around me. Branches whacked me in the face. No, not the time to start thinking about that time I was wrong. This is about this time. I thought Drew was actually a good person. I thought he actually cared about me. I thought I meant something to him. I thought...exactly; I thought. That's it. Just because I have stupid thoughts doesn't mean they actually mean something.

I buried my head in my hands. Something about Drew's girlfriend seemed familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Did I used to go to school with her? I don't know.

I heard footsteps tumble into the bathroom. "Did you hear about that girl who got kidnapped by her neighbor? Well, today's her first day," a girl's voice said above the running water of the faucet.

"I know. She's trying to make a move on my boyfriend." Drew's girlfriend.

"I thought he wasn't you're boyfriend, Tiffany," said girl number 2 .

"Excuse me!? He is too my boyfriend. And that little slut needs to know that," Tiffany spat.

"But, I don't think he wants a girlfriend. He's never had one before." Girl number 1.

"I saw the way he looks at Chelsea. I hate to admit it, but I won't have a chance with her in the picture. That's why we need to scare her into leaving Andrew alone."

I quietly raised my knees to my chest, hoping they wouldn't hear me. I held the sobs in my throat. Scare me? I've been scared enough.

"Come on, let's go talk to Ryan. She won't come back tomorrow." Tiffany and Girl 1 and 2 clicked their heels on the ground as they walked out. After counting to twenty, I put my feet down and let the sobs escape. I'm terrified and I have absolutely no one to turn to. What the hell am I supposed to do!? I have the up most respect for all those people who have bullied. How they stay strong and make it through the day blows my mind. Can I really be like them?

I heard one pair of footsteps approach the bathroom. I pulled my knees back up to my chest and held in the sobs. I could see a pair of shoes walking. It stopped in front of my stall. My heart race increased and I held my breath. "Chels', open up," Drew's soft voice called from the other side I put my feet down and stood up. My hand was right over the lock when I realized that this soft, nice Drew is just their plan to scare me. I removed my hand, and sat back down. I closed my eyes and hummed Fall For You under my breath.

"I know you don't think that I am trying, I know you're wearing thin down to the core. But hold your breathe, because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again," Drew sung in time to my humming.

That just put me over the edge. I ripped open the stall door. "No! You can't do that! You can't just come in here when I'm all messed up, sing, and expect it to be okay! You're an asshole! You can't-" I was paused by his lips on mine.
