Skip and Beau

Chapter 15 Part 1: Guess Who's Back?

THIS IS ONLY PART ONE. PART TWO WILL BE OUT IN A COUPLE HOURS. HAPPY READING!

*Sara's Point of View*

I woke up before Beau around 6PM, who was softly snoring next to me. I gave him a small kiss on the nose before putting my hair up into a messy bun. I almost left my room before looking down at myself.

Oh God! I'm naked! That would've been awkward if one of my parents came home.

I put on loose shorts and a t-shirt, and walked downstairs just as my mum got home from work. "So how's Beau?" she asked. "I thought you were gonna invite him over for the day after you picked him up from the hospital."

"Um...yeah." I said. Nope, definitely not telling her I lost my virginity to him. "He's upstairs sleeping...the uh...doctors gave him some pills with drowsy side effects so...yeah." I said awkwardly.

She took the bait. "Alright! Well he can stay for dinner if he'd like. Can you go up and ask him?"

"Sure." I said, quickly leaving. I'm the most awkward person in the world, even around mum.

I walked upstairs and into my room, poking Beau's bare stomach. "Beau!" I whispered.

He woke up. "Hmm?" he asked. "Sara, let's do it agai-"

"Beau! My mum's home! She thinks you just got knocked out from sleeping pills, get up and try to act normal." I harshly whispered.

His eyes widened. "Shit. Okay, yeah, sorry." he said, getting up. Thank God he was sensible to put his boxers on after...the uh...yeah. Sex.

He threw on his shirt and shorts and walked downstairs with me.

"Beau! So glad you're feeling better!" my mum said. "Your hair's a mess! You must be a pretty reckless sleeper!"

He turned bright red. "Um...yeah." I laughed so hard I snorted. He looked at me for help.

I shook my head. "You're on your own." I mouthed to him, still laughing at how naïve my mum was.

"You guys can have dinner, I'm going out with your father." she said to me, ignoring our reactions to her.

We each grabbed a plate of spaghetti and went into the living area to watch TV.

"You are so mean." he said, cutely pouting. "I didn't know what to say!"

I giggled. "Beau, you're even more awkward than me."

My phone buzzed. All it said was low battery. But next to the message it said, '3 New Messages' and '2 Missed Calls'.

I unlocked my phone, all were from Daniel.

I can't believe I forgot to check my phone again after I texted him to meet me at the hospital yesterday! I wonder why he never came.

I read the messages in the order they came.

9:03AM: Hey Sar! Sry I couldnt make it to the hospital. Maybe come over w/ Beau? We need to talk... :) -Skip

11:18AM: Uh, Sar? Whats up? Please answer your phone. Can you come over? -Skip

I sighed. I read the last text.

1:47PM: I'VE GOT HIM NOW YOU SNEAKY BITCH.

The second the final words processed in my brain, I reflexively chucked my phone across the room. It hit the wall, shattering. "SHIT!" I screamed.

"What's wrong?!" shouted Beau.

"Susan's got Daniel." I said, tears going down my face. Who knows what she's doing to him! I got up.

"Let's go to his house." said Beau.

All I could do was nod. She's got him and she's going to kill him. I'm sure of it. Oh my God. No. I began to hyperventilate. Are my feelings for Beau really stronger? What's happening to Skip? I'm such an idiot for letting him leave my sight! The police must've never found that damn car after sending one to chase it down! THEY'VE GOT DANIEL. THEY WON. THEY FUCKING WON.

Beau drove us over in my car, calling the police. They said they put out another car to find them. Once we got there, he told me where a key was under a bush. "It's the one to the right of the first step, I'm staying in here on the phone, I'll call Luke and Jai."

"How did you kn-?" I murmured, questioning the key.

"I've taken them over here before, but that's not what we're talking about. We're finding Skip right now and that's all that matters."

I nodded again.

"And don't you dare do anything in there besides take a step in and listen for noise. Don't even move once you walk in, ya hear me? I'll be off the phone and inside in just a minute. The police will be here soon."

"Okay Beau." i whispered. Alone, I got out of the car, unlocked the door, and walked in to the empty house. Dead empty. I sobbed. There was no one here.

With curiosity killing me, i disobeyed Beau and walked into the kitchen. There was a note on the counter. I read it.

Sara,

This is actually Skip writing this. I promise you, it's for the best. Please just leave. The screen door in front of you takes you to the backyard, where you can leave through the gate from there. And don't you fucking dare look behind you. You'll regret it. Go.

-Daniel

Like an idiot, I looked behind me. And there was Skip. Just standing there. No one around. But he looked deathly afraid. "Why did you turn?" he whispers.

"Daniel!" I said, running towards him.

And out of nowhere, a tall, large, rather scary man comes out. It must be Randy. He looks at me. He looks at Skip. And he runs to Skip.

The man named Randy begins to choke Daniel Sahyounie to death as I am left to stand and watch.

Author's Note: End of Part 1 of this chapter! Part two will be out in a couple hours. I just thought putting it into two parts would make it more suspenseful, plus each part is too short to be considered a chapter. xx Elissa
