Life Changes

Chapter 13

After a long and hot day at Bondi, Harrison and Jessica are packing up the rhino with the flags.

Harrison's POV:

I still haven't told Jessica that I'm meeting Sarah tonight. I know I should tell her that I'm meeting Sarah, but I wated to wait until after I told Sarah nothing oculd happen between us. "Harrison, do you want to go see a movie with me tonight? There's a cute rom-com playing and Em was telling me about it." "I would love to, but the lads and I are going to one of our friends' party tonight. It's about a 2 hour drive from here, and the specific rules were: guys only. No girls." "Oh really?" "Yeah it's a werid rule, but I'm driving with my own car so I'm going to leave early cause I have to work te early shift tomorrow." Jessica came over to me and gave me a hug. "Ok dear. If you say so." Sighing, I turned away from her and started walking up the stairs to the tower. Looking up, I saw Hoppo standing there. Giving me a nod, I nodded back at him. I sure am glad I told him about me meeting Sarah; I am also glad he's letting me tell Jessica about my meeting with Sarah. I only hope Jessica doesn't follow me; if Sarah knew that I told her, she wouldn't be too happy.

Jessica's POV:

There is something suspicious going on with Harrison today. All day, he's been acting jumpy and eird; everytime I put my arms around him, he tensed up. It was unlike him. And this party he's going to tonight? What kindof lame party is it where only guys could go? On our way home, I held Harrison's hand, while rubbing his thumb. I wanted to ask him more details, but I don't want to be the kind of girlfriend who monitors his every move. After dropping me off, I went up to my room and got some comfy clothes on. While having classical music play throughout the house, I decided to call my mom. Even though it was late t night in the USA, I knew my mom wouldn't be asleep yet. After catching up with my mom and telling her about all of my adventures, I hung up and decided to make some comfort food. Meanwhile in the back of my head, I knew there was something happening tonight. After eating some mac and cheese, I decided to go out for ice cream. Yelling upstairs, "Uncle Hoppo? Aunt Karen? I'm going out for a ice cream; I'll be back in half an hour." "Ok! Be careful. If you need a ride home, text us." Walking outside, the fresh air hit me, and it felt good to get out of the house; walking the five minute walk towards the local ice cream place, I saw a familiar car parked on the side of the road. It was Harrison's car. What is it doing all the way here? Isn't that car supposed to be two hours away? Deciding to forego the ice cream, I walked up to Harrison's car. Walking towards the car, I heard a woman laughing. I crouched down behind a pair of bushes; I couldn't believe my eyes. In a wide opening, sitting on a bench, was Harrison and that girl Sarah. I can't believe he lied to me! Why would he not tell me that he was meeting her? Trying to hear more about the conversation, I made myself comfortable. But before I could hear more, I felt a hand clamp over my mouth. Struggling and kicking, I felt myself being dragged backwards and thrown into a car. Feeling for my phone, I had it in my hand when someone knocked it out of hand. Looking up, I saw a tall man with broad shoulders and a mask on. The last words I heard were, "Have a good night's rest." Before I knew it, he had slapped a cloth over my mouth, and trying to push him away, I felt my strength being drained of trying to fight against him; within seconds, darkness surrounded me.

Sarah's POV:

Buzz. Buzz. I felt my phone vibrating in my back pocket which could only mean one thing: Jared has Jessica. Not wanting to alert Harrison (because I wanted to keep him in suspense for a little bit longer), I grabbed my phone and swiped the notification away. "Isn't that an important message?" "No not at all! I can deal with it later. Now back to you. The reason I wanted to meet you in our spot, is that I started developing feelings for you again. I know that I'm the one who broke it off, but when I saw you with Jessica, the feelings came flooding back again." "Sarah, I'm going to have to stop you right there. I don't have feelings for you anymore, and I never will. You had your chance to be with me, but you left it. I'm with Jessica right now, and I see a future for us together. I love her, and I'll do anything to protect her." Ring! Ring! "Sorry Sarah I'm gonna take this; it's Hoppo. Hey Hoppo! What's up?" "Harrison, have you seen Jessica?" Putting his phone on speakerphone, I leaned in so I could hear better. "No I haven't seen her ever since I dropped her off at your place like three hours ago." "Oh great. Jessica left like an hour ago, and she said she would be back in half an hour and she usually texts me to let me know where she is." "I'll try calling her cell, Hoppo. If she doesn't pick up, call the cops. I'll let you know. Good-bye." While Harrison was dialing Jessica's number, I took the opportunity to text Jared. "Jared, Hoppo and Harrison are now both suspicious about Jessica being gone for so long. Don't do anything before I get there. I'll keep in touch."  The phone rang over three times, and before Harrison was about to hang up, I heard a slight ringing noise coming from behind the bushes. "You hear that? I think I hear someone's phone." Walking towards the sound, I saw Jessica's phone lying in the grass. Crouching down and picking it up, I smirked. Let the games begin.

Oh my goodness. Now that Jessica has been taken by one of Sarah's closest  friends, what is going to happen when Harrison rallies all of the boys to help him look for her?  And what will happen to Jessica as she is taken away to a place which she didn't even know existed?  Will Jessica ever get her happily ever after with Harrison? And how will everyone react when they find out that Sarah kidnapped Jessica to get Harrison back? Keep reading to find out.

Cheers ;)
