THE TELLYS COMPANY

Part Three

"Hey John how are you?" Emily attempts to make a conversation to whom seems to be a very uninterested male in front of me, gazing at me up and down. He comes forward closer to me and doesn't stop staring me, this causes me to shift uncomfortably.

"I'm good. How are you? How are the kids?" He asks finally not staring at me no more, but to Emily who's blushing at him. He's very intimidating and thank god he's not staring anymore because if he did any longer my heart would've dropped out my body.

"Their good. Annoying as usual, aha." She sends him a flirtatious smile but he's still in a way not giving her a single amount of attention. He's dressed an a navy dark blue suit. I swear in a way that's makes him even more intimidating.

I'll admit something I don't want to - he's not even ugly. He's not even close to ugly. He's actually dare I say it..hell no! No! I can't! This guy is just as sick as the rest of the men willing to do this.

"So John you've met her?" A man greets me with a smile that gives off the creepiest vibes. He also smiles at Emily and they talk for a while as we stand there awkwardly.

"John may I have a word with you?" John nods and leaves with the man as I stand there wondering if I should just make a run for it.

"That's his father. Johns not even an ass. His father is the asshole. Asshole isn't even the word to describe his father. His father is hell." Emily grumbles looking at Johns father in disgust. Even if I don't know his father at all, I already know he's disgusting.

"He's the devil." The hairstylist adds still listening in on our conversation

"Johns not a bad guy, so you don't have much to worry. But if his dad comes around then I feel bad for you." Emily stops talking as soon as she sees John and his father come back to us

"What's your name?" Johns father asks and I look away from him. They don't deserve to know that.

I ignore him and he asks again, with a louder slightly annoyed tone.

I still decide to ignore him. He chuckles and then grabs me roughly by the hand.

"Lighten up, doll. What's your name?" The chills that sent down my body caused me to just say it.

"Susan." I lie and he laughs,

"She's a liar. Wow good luck Johnny. Hopefully you can handle her." The pit in my stomach drops and my eyes widen.

"Your name is Lauren Rose Williams." John says with confidence. His posture is perfect and his eyes are steady on my face. His dark blue eyes gaze into my brown ones, trying to figure out if I'm going to try something.

"You guys need to go. I got more people coming. Get out." The father whispers to John and I. Wow already rude. John walks away and his father tells me to follow him. I nod and begin to follow John who doesn't even bother looking back to see if I'm there or not.

Maybe it's my chance to run..

I start to walk past John a little faster and out the door. I hear his footsteps behind me and I begin running as fast as I could.

"LAUREN!" I hear him yell behind me as my feet hit the pavement. The air is so chilly and I wish I was wearing a sweater and not in this type of environment.

Also not being chased by a man who just as I must say bought me.

"LAUREN DONT!" I hear him scream as I hear a gunshot. My eyes widen and I hit the floor. For a second I thought he might've even just shot me, but I don't feel a damn thing. I hear a few more and I look behind me.

Joey is standing right behind me with a gun in the air. He shoots it up at the sky once more while he stares me down, with cold eyes and not a single glance of mercy in them

"We warned you! Get up!" I stare in terror frozen at what just happened and he roughly grabs me as he had done before. I feel him yelling at me but I'm not paying attention, no, I look at John as he waits for me by the car.

"Leave her alone, Joe. I got it." John growls

"You sure you do? When? Before or after she escapes." He argues him

"Stop talking about her as if she isn't there. Get the hell out of my sight." He shockingly defends me in front of Joey. I'm at loss of words for how weird this all is. Joey and John have a stare down for a few seconds. Joey huffs, looks at me once more with a weird look, and leaves. Finally.

"Get in." John opens the car door for me and I look at him.

"Please take me home." I hear my voice crack and he looks away, knowing I'm about to cry.

"Just get in Lauren, please." He still doesn't look as he gets in the car. I look to my right to see Johns father and I know somehow if I make a move for it I might even die.

I get in the passenger seat next to John. He is trying to hard not to make this whole thing awkward and weird, but it is.

We drive to I'm assuming his house and the whole car ride is silent. He's quiet but observant, he glanced at me a few times when driving.

We get to the house and I notice 2 men waiting outside. Geez they really make it impossible for you to try anything. They open the car door for me and immediately hold my hand in a tight grip.

"Do not hold her hand, she's not a child." John says staring at the man who quickly stops holding it as soon as he catches Johns gaze.

"Sorry ma'am." He says to me and I just shake my head, making sure to get out his way. John and I walk into the house and my eyes widen.

It's huge. Not as big as the other place, but not a place I'm used to of course. I always lived in the same small house which I admired of course. Something I was used to.

"I'll show you the rooms." John begins heading up the stairs but all I do is look around. He turns back when he notices me not even moving a inch.

"You okay?"

"Am I okay? Are you serious? What did you think this was? Okay to kidnap a girl you don't know at all, take her to your house, say you bought her for however much? You think I'm going to be okay?" I grunt through my teeth. He heads back down the stairs and goes right in front of me. Looking down at me with a straight face.
