Can't Let Go

T W O

We pulled up to a local diner. I hesitated to get out, but followed him inside anyway. We were somewhere in Delaware, so half way to Virginia I think. My sister called me earlier but this asshole broke my phone and threw it out the window.

We went into the diner and got seated. I didn't want to eat so he just ordered for me. The food was placed in front of us, and he didn't hesitate to start eating.

"Eat." He demanded. I swallowed the lump in my throat and grabbed a plate of pancakes. I ate slowly but felt his eyes on me the whole time.

"Breaking news. Late last night a local nurse by the name Amber Davis went missing." The tv blasted. A picture of my face popped up.

"Amber huh?" He said. I ignored him and watched the tv.

"We have reason to believe that she was taken by this man, Rakim Mayers. The police have been looking for him for about five months now. The two were seen last at a motel just outside of the city, when Mayers shot and killed two police officers. This man is very dangerous, so if you see either of them, call this hotline."

"We gotta go." He said quietly. He pulled out some money and left it on the table. He grabbed my arm and led me out of there back to the car. He got it started and drove away from the diner.

"Fuck!" He yelled hitting the steering wheel. I jumped slightly and looked at him. He sighed and ran his hand over his face. We drove into the town and stopped at a pharmacy.

"Let's go, and keep your head down." He said as we got out. He grabbed a basket and started filling it up with different things. Some of those things included hair bleach and toiletries.

He quickly paid for everything, then led me to the nearby motel. He got us a room and led me there. Once inside, he locked the door and put a chair under the knob.

"Here, you gotta change your appearance." He said while handing me the bleach.

"I'm not bleaching my hair."

"You want me to cut it all off?" I glared at him and took the bleach.

"Go shower." He said handing me shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I took everything with me to the bathroom. I locked the door and sighed while starting the shower.

Why me? Why did this have to be me? I wanted to go home. To see my parents and my little sister. I missed my bed, my cat, my friends. I wrapped my arms around myself and cried.

After I managed to calm down a little, I bleached my hair sadly. I washed it and washed up before getting out. I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around me. A knock was heard at the door.

"I got you some clothes." He said. I opened the door slightly and held my hand out for the clothes. It was just a pair of jeans, some panties that happened to fit, and a black t-shirt. I dried my hair and walked out.

"You look like a lion." He smirked. I glared at him and put my socks and shoes on.

"I'm gonna rest for a minute, don't even think about leaving." He said while holding up the gun. He climbed in one of the beds and laid down with the gun under his pillow.

I sighed to myself and laid in my bed on my side. I couldn't stop the tears that fell. I closed my eyes and prayed silently. After he was well rested, we got back on the road. I fell asleep and when I woke up, we were passing the "welcome to Virginia" sign.

We drove for a while before we pulled up to this large house with a gate. He drove up and punched in the numbers so that the gate would open. I furrowed my eyebrows. He grinned and drove up the drive way.

He got out his side and opened my door. I followed him up the steps and inside the lavish house.

"There you are my nigga. We thought ya ass got got." A cute light skin said walking over. He dapped him up and smiled. Then a few other men came over and greeted him as well.

"Yo Rocky, who this broad you brought up in here?" The lightskinned one asked.

"That's the girl he kidnapped." One of the others laughed. I felt uncomfortable.

"This Amber. Amber these my boys. Chris, Ferg, Twelvy, Nast, Lou, and Dave." I just nodded.

"She probably scared shitless." Nast said.

"Kennedy." He called out. A pretty girl with red curly hair walked in and smiled.

"Yeah?"

"Get Amber here cleaned up, and get her some clothes." She nodded and walked over.

"Come on." I cautiously followed her up the set of beautiful stairs. She led me through a door that brought me into this beautiful bedroom.

"You like it?" She asked with a smirk. I just nodded softly. She asked me my sizes and everything, then told me to get cleaned up. I went in the bathroom and got in the shower. I instantly relaxed.

I finished my shower and got out grabbing a towel. I wrapped it around me and walked back into the room to see clothes laid out on the bed. A matching bra and panty along with black leggings and a grey hoodie. I got dressed and started pacing.

I needed to get out of here. I knew I didn't have a chance due to how many guys were downstairs but I had to try. I put on my shoes and walked over to the door. I opened it slightly, to see if anybody was on this floor.

Once I seen that nobody was here, I quietly moved to the staircase and made my way down. I heard voices but I was so close to the door, so I went for it. I ran over and swung the door open.

"Hey!" I heard as I ran out. I took off down the driveway, away from the person chasing me. Just as I reached the gate, someone grabbed me and threw me over their shoulder.

"Let me go!" I yelled as I struggled out of their grip. They walked back to the house and put me down on a couch. I kicked the person- Who I realized was the Chris guy- in the face and got up to run.

"Bitch!" I headed back to the door, but stopped when Rocky beat me to it.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"I'm trying to go home. So move." My chest was rising and falling due to all the running and screaming. He chuckled.

"I told your ass you wasn't going no where. What part did you not understand?" He said getting in my face. I pushed him.

"I want to go home!" He glared and grabbed my arm tightly. I used my free hand to slap him across the face. He clenched his jaw and wrapped his hands around my neck while pushing me up against the wall.

"You trying to get your ass killed!" Tears rolled down my face as my vision blurred. I scratched his hands to let me go so I could breathe.

"You belong to me now." He said lowly before letting me go. I gasped for air and sobbed as he dragged me up the stairs. He pushed me into the room I was previously in, causing me to fall. He closed the door on his way out. I heard a click so I figured he locked it.

I curled up on the floor and sobbed. I managed to calm down enough to fall asleep.
