Next Day
Y/N POV:
I woke up to the sound of footsteps outside of my door. I look beside me and see Kate wide awake. I hear her mumble but can't make out what she is saying.
"Kate? Are you ok?" I ask, concern filling my voice. She jumps up out of the bed and starts to pace. I look at her face and see dark bags under her eyes. "Did you get any rest?"
"No!" She yells. I jump a little. "I'm sorry, Y/N. I haven't slept well a month after I got here." I get up and walk towards her. I pull her into the tightest embrace possible.
"It's going to be ok," I reassure her. "I want to leave just as much as you do." I hear her sniffle. I pull back and see that she is crying. I wipe a tear away from her face.
"I just want to leave this h*ll hole." I bring her back to the bed and lay her down.
"You need your rest, Kate," I say. I pull the covers over her. Her eyes flutter shut. I hear the door being opened. I freeze. I run toward the door.
"Hello, Y/N," I hear. I open the door to where I can see who is at the door.
"What do you want, Bruno?" I ask irritated.
"Calling me 'dad' will suffice," he says as he walks in.
"Sorry to break it to you but you aren't my dad anymore. I hate your guts," I say in disgust. He walks around the room and looks at the bed. He notices the lump on the bed. He looks at me then back to the bed.
"If you are trying to hide Kate, you are failing miserably," he says with pride. Kate comes up from under the covers. "Don't worry, she can stay."
I sigh in relief.
"Anyways, I'm off to do some business. And if you are wondering, the boyfriend situation is getting taken care of," Bruno says.
"We weren't wondering actually," Kate says with a smirk.
"Don't be a smart-a**," Bruno says as he leaves.
There was a silence after he left but Kate spoke up.
"We should escape! Tonight!" Kate yells.
"Shhhh!" I yell back. "The guards might hear us." I start to pace, deciding whether or not we should.
"So? What do you think?" Kate asks.
"Let's do it! We need the perfect time." I look over to my wooden desk chair and run over to it. I carefully put the chair on the floor and break the chair leg off. "This is what we will use a 'weapon'. I sure hope it works." Kate chuckles.
Evening (10:00 p.m.)
Kate and I open the door to make sure there is only one guard at the door. Luckily, there was. I grab the chair leg and hit him in the head with it. He fell to the the ground, unconscious.
"I didn't know a wooden stick would be that helpful," I joke. Kate and I run towards the staircase and stop in front of the stairs. All of the sudden, we both hear sirens. We look at each other with joy filling our eyes. We quietly go up the stairs and head into the kitchen. There were about four body guards in the kitchen. They all turned their heads.
"Sh*t," Kate says. The guards stopped what they were doing and started walking towards Kate and I. I hit one of the guards with the chair leg and Kate knees a guard where the sun doesn't shine. Both guards fall to the floor. We attack the other to guards until they fall.
"God, why can't they just cooperate," I say in between breaths.
"I know right but let's get out of here," Kate says. We both run out of the kitchen and into the living room. No guards were there but my dad was. That's when we hear:
"Come outside with the two hostages and hands above your head!"
Without thinking, Kate and I run out of the living room and outside. Kate is in front and I follow behind. Kate makes it with the police officers and I thought I did too but I get pulled back.
"Hey! Let go of me!" I yell. Bruno wraps his arm around my neck but not to the point where he chokes me. I feel a cold, metal thing press against the side of my forehead. My eyes widen in realization. It was a gun.
"Don't move. . . or else," he whispers in my ear. Shivers are sent down my spine. I look in front of me. I see police officers. I see my mom, who has tears streaming down her face. I see Jason, Mike, and James, who have a worried and angry emotion their faces. I see Kate hugging Jason tightly.
"I've wanted Y/N in my life for so long! I wanted the custody of her after the divorce! Now I finally have her!" My dad yells. "I don't care about Kate! I don't care about any of you!"
"You might've wanted me in your life, but I never wanted you in mine!" I yell back. I jerk against his hold but he wrenches me back tighter. The gun presses harder against the side of my forehead. I gulp.
"Let Y/N go, Bruno!" My mom yells. Bruno cackles and I feel less pressure on the side of my forehead.
This is my chance!
I grab his arm and twist it backwards and the gun drops. Still having his arm twisted behind him, I grab the gun and point directly at him. Sweat starts to drip because of fear.
The polices officers rush over and cuff him and some of the officers go inside to gather the bodyguards. I see Ryan walk over to me.
"We will put him in solitary confinement and make sure he never bothers you and your family again." I nod as a thank you. Ryan walks away and right behind him was Jason. He runs over and hugs me in the tightest embrace. We look at each other and he smashes his lips on mine. The kiss was passionate, like it was our last. We separate our lips and press our foreheads against each other's.
"Don't ever leave me again," he says. "Promise?"
"Promise," I say with a smile.
We walk towards everyone else and I am embraced in hugs by Mike and James.
"We were so worried about you," Mike says as we separate from the hug. "We missed you."
"I missed you guys too." I walk over to my mom. She still has tears coming down her face. I give a small smile. "Hi, mom." She runs up and hugs me and I do the same.
"I missed you so much!" She whispers in my ear.
"I missed you more." We pull apart and smile at each other. Ryan walks over to us and he asks questions about what had happened and all that police officer stuff. I told him everything, how it started and up until now.
"Go home and get some rest," Ryan says. My mom goes up to Ryan and kisses him. I walk over to Jason and he hugs me.
"Go to the car. I'll be right there." I nod an walk over to his car. I open the passenger door and hop in the car. My eyes feel heavy and my head falls to the side. I hear the car door open on the driver's and the back seat. I didn't bother to look who it was.
"Did you tell her mom she was riding in my car Kate?" I hear Jason ask.
"Yeah. Her mom said she was ok with it." Jason starts the engine and the car stays silent. I feel a kiss on my forehead and a small smile forms on my face. I drift off to sleep as we drive back home. It's easy to sleep now. I'm safe.A/N: AHA! Finally done! I'm so sorry it's been two months since I posted. You guys probably gave up on me. I don't blame ya lol. There will be an epilogue!
I am so thankful for your guys' support during this journey!
Another note is that I will not be doing short stories like I said in the last couple chapters. I will continue with books but I need to come up with some ideas and see which one I like. I will take requests for book ideas also. I am a terrible decision maker just to let you guys know.
Thirdly, I know this reminder is late but here it is. As you might've heard, Surly_Wombat and I have a shared account. We are doing short stories and I hope you enjoy them!
I love you guys so much! See ya next time!
