The Stolen Innocent Boy | Joshler✓

8

Whenever there was a car on the same dirt road as us I noticed Josh gave me a Stern look and either, sped up to get ahead of them or stopped and waited till they passed us.

I was worried that if I made any forms of stress Josh might hurt them so I stayed obedient and kept my head down in the cold, silent car. God I wish Josh would turn on the radio, I leaned and noticed that there was not, infact, a radio. Someone must have ripped it out, maybe Brendon to sell it or maybe Before Josh took it.

"What?" Josh grumbled as he moved the gear shift getting onto the road

"No radio?" I leaned away from Josh and drop my head back on the seat

"Not my car" I could hear the shrug off his shoulder

"My head hurts" I wanted to rub my head but my hands where stuck

"You can deal with it" he hummed out

"Can you kiss it?" I breathed out

His humming stopped for a few seconds
"We don't talk about that"

"But we are right now"
I lifted my head up
"Can we please talk, I don't care what about. Let's gossip. Let's trash talk about basketball players. Let's spoil movies"

"Tyler we aren't friends" Josh sounded so hesitant "kidnappers and the napped don't socialize"

"But my head hurts" I groaned "pleaseee"

Josh was quite, I watched as his hand twitch on the wheel "..do you like.." Josh shifted in his seat "drum"

I perked "drum? As in one?"

"Yeah Ty which part of the drum is your favorite?"

"The one that makes sound" I giggled "you?"

"Same here. It goes thump thump"

"Like a heart?" I asked

Josh turned his head and looked at me for a second "I guess?"

"Thump thump" I repeated after awhile "a drum is a heart"

"Drum is a heart?" Josh asked before nodding "a drum. Is my heart. What's yours?"

I Didn't even have to think
"An out of tune uklele"
Everything has gone downhill five days ago but right now?
I don't even know what's happening right now.
Was he this angry twenty year old okay to kill, okay torture something by shooting them and making them drink blood?
The one of the first things he did after grabbing me was give me drugs to calm my anxiety, he also gave me food and water.

I noticed he was smiling, he didn't look as nervous when I begged for a conversation, who was Josh, why did I sorta feel sorry for him?

Why was I empathizing with him, the man who kidnap me. Why did he say he was sorry when he thought I was asleep. He didn't want to die.

I don't think I can relate to that, I was sure I hella couldn't now but..

But? I blink in surprise and looked around the car
Why am I saying but! He's a monster who stole me! I blushed when I asked if he could kiss my shoulder.. I just.. didn't know what else to ask, I wanted to believe my mom was right next to me.

But I know I can't believe, I need to see her to actually know she's here.

"What else should we talk about?"
Josh asked "this is kinda fun"

"Uhh" I thought for a second "oh! Wanna hear a story that happens a couple weeks ago?"

----

"And then I finally got out of class without the teacher noticing I was going to leave early... But dance class was down on the first floor and the couch saw me" I sighed and looked at Josh who had a grin on his face "she told me that I could go back to my class or join her for the last 30 minutes"

"So what you do?" Josh popped out

"I was a dancing Queen" I puffed my chest out "or.. King"

Josh laughed "it sounds like we would have been great friends. I was always ditching school for, uh, stuff"

"Well I didn't do it everyday" I looked out the window "just when I was bored"

"Then scratch great friends" I looked at Josh with a tilted head "we would have been best friends"

Best friends? My eyes soften at the thought, that would be nice.

" Tyler  listen to me" the way Josh stressed my name sent shivers down my spine "I'm going to get a motel room for us but" he popped the But

I tensed up waiting for him to continue
"If you even think about, and I cannot stress this enough, think about trying to escape"

I shook my head rapidly
"I won't"
I was actually kinda Happy that we were going to a motel. I didn't want to sleep in a car again, we been driving all day and my body was cramping, around noon Josh had parked the car at a gas station and I used the bathroom but that was all the walking I did sense we left.

Josh nodded before stopped on the side of the same road we've been on.

He stepped out of the car and opened my door, I had to scramble out at the sudden jolt of being pulled.

"Shit sorry!" Josh gasped

"It's- okay" I Sutter "why'd you get out?"

"To put you in the front" I pulled the key out of his pocket and freed one day, I followed behind him.

I opened my own door and closed it myself, well I tried too, Josh grabbed it.

"I need to do the handcuffs"

"Nonono" I plead "my wrist really hurt.. please don't, I'll behave, you know I will"

"Last time you tried to run away" Josh crossed his arms

"And I know what you'll do if I try to again!" I whimpered  and pulled my body away from Josh, the sudden rush of guilt.

Josh just huffed and slammed the car door, i flinched as he did so.

"Here's the deal" Josh sat in the car "you don't run, you don't ask for help, you don't make me nervous and we won't leave a body trail"

I nodded softly "d-deal"
