Captured (COMPLETED)

Chapter Sixteen

Liam's POV

I sit, nervously, in the front seat of my truck waiting for this guy to show up. I glance at the clock on my radio. 6:55. I begin picking at my nails, which is one of my habits when I'm nervous. Why am I so nervous? He said he would bring her. I've been wanting to see her since the day I heard her whimpers and cries on the phone. And you weren't there to save her, my subconscious adds and I push him aside as tears begin to blur my vision.

After what feels like forever, I hear a car pull around the corner. I climb out of my truck as he pulls to a complete stop a few feet away. A guy, the same guy from the beach, gets out of the driver's side of the car. His eyes bore into me as he walks to the trunk. Oh God. She better be okay.

He opens the trunk, breaking eye contact to look down at something. He leans down and I hear her voice.

"Get away from me." She says and whimpers as he leans even closer. I fight the urge to go over to the car and take her away from him. 

The guy lifts her out of the car and stands her on her feet. Her right eye is black and blue and her clothes are teared in places, showing her skin. She looks rough.

Her eyes meet mine and my heart breaks into a million pieces. I watch her eyes tear up and her shoulders slouch as if all the energy from her body has been taken away from her. The guy has a firm grip on her arms, keeping her in place. She looks as if she wants to run into my arms but the only thing stopping her is his grip on her. I'm sure my face is all red from the anger of him having his hands on her. He has no right to put his hands on her. I'd rather him have his hands on me then on her.

The guy from the beach walks her over to the front of the car and mumbles something to her. She stands there, silently, as he lets go of her arms. He walks to the trunk and I watch until he's not looking.

"Hailee." I whisper, loudly. She looks toward the passenger side of the car and then looks back at me. She shakes her head slowly and her eyes begin to water again.

"It's okay baby. Come here."I try to comfort her and she shakes her head again. I feel my hot tears running down my face and I break again.

"C'mon baby it's okay." My voice breaks. I look over to the trunk and see that the guy is walking towards us again, but he stops at the passenger door and looks in the window. There's a woman.

He opens the door before speaking."Are you gonna get out and help me or not?' He says harshly and the woman looks toward me with worry in her eyes. Why is she worried? She doesn't even know me.

She gets out and her very dark brown eyes meet mine. The softness in her eyes is different from the sharpness in the his eyes. She's shorter than me, by what looks like a whole foot, and has dark hair. She looks a little like the guy but are they related? 

The man walks around in front of Hailee and looks at her. She looks completely terrified. 

"Get away from her." I shout. Everyone's eyes are suddenly on me and I couldn't care any less, he needs to get away from her.

The guy looks back and forth between Hailee and I. He chuckles and then looks at the ground.

"Please let me see him." Hailee's small voice says and I watch as the guy nods. He unties her hands and I watch her sigh in relief as she walks toward me. She smiles and I walk towards her, meeting her in the middle of the parking lot. I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck, tightly. She kisses me and I kiss her back. I'm so happy to have her in my arms again.

"I don't want to let go." She whispers in my ear.

"Then don't." I whisper in her ear and her arms wrap tighter around my neck."I won't let anyone hurt you again, I promise." I feel her shaking as she cries into the crook of my neck. 

"We need to talk, Liam." I hear the woman's soft voice. So, she knows my name too? I don't even know these people and they already figured out my name.

"How do they know my name, Hailee?" I whisper in her ear and she pulls back to look at me.

"Just talk to her, Liam. Please." She whispers back. I put her down and she stands next to me. I look down as our fingers interlock. I look back up to find her eyes on me.

"Please don't let them take me away from you again." She whispers. I look her right in the eyes.

"I won't, baby. I promise." I say and she nods, looking back at the woman and the guy.

I feel nervous, like I may get sick, but I have to keep it together. They are not gonna take Hailee away from me again, not without a fight.
