Kidnapped

13.)

*Alexas POV*
After the movie ended, I was in shock. I turned to Zach. "But then how did Laura die. And who killed all the others?" He shrugged and gripped my shoulders.

"Alexa I need to tell you something. It is very serious and I don't even care if you punch me after I tell you. Just please listen carefully." I frowned in confusion but nodded anyway.

"Can you remember the night where I told you that Thomas and Lucas went to a meeting?" He asked, breathing heavily.

"Of course I do. Why?" I said.
"Well. They didn't actually go to a meeting. They--" He stopped and sighed, wiping his forehead.

"They went to your house..." he sighed.

"Did they say to my brother when I will be back home??" I asked excitedly.

"No. They've...killed him." My face dropped. And all of a sudden, everything went in slow motion. The last thing I saw was Zach gripping my arm, then everything went black.

I woke up from my unusual slumber. My head hurt badly. And I remembered what he had said. No. He couldn't possibly mean it. I started screaming and crying. I heard footsteps running in and I looked up and saw Zach standing there. I scrambled off the bed and backed into the corner.

"Please tell me you didn't mean what you said. Please tell me my brother is still alive. Please, please." I sobbed. Zach pulled me onto his chest and I gripped onto his shirt.

"Princess I'm so so so sorry you had to hear that. I was told to do the job myself but I refused , for you." He said, picking up my crying and shaking body. He wrapped my legs around him but that still didn't calm me down.

I started hitting at his chest repeatedly, trying to get all the anger out of me. "You monsters!! You absolute monsters!!" I yelled. He sat down on the bed, me still wrapped around him. He started rocking me back and fourth and buried his head in the crook of my neck.

He somehow found me weak spot and started kissing it. I soon stopped crying and screaming. I was still whimpering slightly though. He put his hands on my hips and kissed his way up to my cheek. As soon as he found another weak spot of mine, he started kissing that too.

He was trying to calm me down, and it sure as hell was working! He pulled away slightly but still just enough to feel his skin on mine.

His fingertips rested lightly on my cheek. I looked up to his gorgeous blue eyes. He was smiling at me sweetly, because he knew that he had calmed me down. I wiped away my few remaining tears and took a shaky breath.

"Why did they kill him?" I asked quietly. "I can't tell you that sweetheart. You're going to have to ask Thomas." He said, his voice filled of truthfulness. I nodded and let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding.

He pulled me into another hug and this time, I hugged back. Another year slipped down my cheek. I tried to wipe it away quickly, but he saw it but he leaned back to look at me. He wiped the tear away with is thumb and placed his hands on my cheeks.

"You know I would never take that job because of the strong connection we have. You are such a beautiful and caring woman, I could never take your brother from you." He said, leaning forward.

Before I could reply, his lips connected with mine. Spark flew and fireworks burst. At first, I didn't believe it when girls said they had their 'perfect kiss.' I thought it would be wet and sloppy. But it really wasn't . It was perfect. 

He pulled back to take a breath and looked me in the eyes. He had no idea what he was doing to me right now. I gripped onto the hem of his shirt and pulled him closer to me. "Princess-"

"You have no idea how much you're teasing me right now." I whispered.
"I guess that makes us even then." He smiled at me. "But...when can I go home?" I asked, my eyes stinging. He sighed and played with a strand of my hair.

"We can't let you go home, because of how serious the case is." He leaned in for a hug when he saw tears rolling down my cheeks, but I pushed him away. "That's the only reason! You need to be locked up for what you've done. You've commuted 2 crimes. I yelled, and stomped off into the bathroom, locking myself in. I found some paper and pen so if Zach tried to talk to me, I would write it down.

"Princess when will you come out of there?" Zach pleaded after a few minutes of silence. 'When I'm Ready.' I wrote on a piece of paper and slipped under the door. "But Princess I need you. I miss you." He begged, sitting in front  of the door. 'Well I don't.' Once again, I slipped it under.

"Princess. You have no idea how much you're killing me right now. And after that kiss, I knew we had sparks."
'You felt it to?' (Paper)
"Of course I did. Did you?" (Zach)
'Maybe...' (P)
"So can you come out of there now?"

I slowly stood up and unlocked the door. I opened it and saw Zach, his hand in his hair. The moment he saw me, he grinned and scooped me up in his arms.

"I thought you would stay in there forever." He whispered into my ear. He let me down gently and I yawned. "Come on Princess, lets watch another movie. Pleaseeee?" Be said, he even pulled the puppy dog face. I laughed and nodded. He swiftly picked me up and laid me on top of him like last time.

He picked a movie but I turned round to him, shaking my head vigorously. "Not that one. It was my brothers favourite."  I said.
"If you do start crying, just let me know. I just wanna see how much you can get through the movie."

I took in a shaky breath and nodded as he clicked play. 'The Fault In Our Stars' was mine and my brothers signature movie when we had a rough day.

We were halfway through the film when I felt a tear slip down my cheek. Cmon Alexa. Stay strong. For William. I gripped onto Zach's arm as a few more tears slipped down my face.
