Her Warrior

Chapter 11

AC's POV

Thursday

When I wake my head pounds even harder like bricks dropping, the rope burns like holding your hand to fire, and my vision feels foggy and unfocused.

"Whats a girl gotta do around here to get a burger." I joke to myself quietly one thing I did gain from Jackson getting mad and leaving was remembering what had happen in the first place and how I ended up here.

Flashback

The air was humid but rain lightly drizzled from the sky, I didn't want to bother neither mom nor James because I knew I'd never hear the end of it so I slipped on black ripped jeans, a pair of black Vans, a shirt with BTS and Halsey on it, and a black leather jacket that would keep me pretty dry. I checked my phone quickly to see the time read 6:30 AM in big bold white letters and numbers across the screen. I wanted to stop at the flower shop in town to buy some sunflowers for Jenny, I was gonna work up the courage to ask her out on a date and pray she'd say yes. 

I had made it to and in the shop safely the lady at the counter smiled and greeted me, I quickly greeted her back and looked for the sunflowers, Jenny always had this way of making me think of sunflowers the way she was so beautiful but didn't flaunt it, the way she moved carefully and carefree at the same time, a beautiful and unique mess that was perfect and imperfect at the same time. The way she tried her hardest to be nice to everyone and include everyone but also the way she shy'd away from newer people. 

I moved through the shop more towards the back where two sunflowers as yellow as a dandelion stood proudly and healthy, I smile to myself and gently grab the two flowers. I take them up to the cashier and pay for them both happily.

"Aren't they beautiful this year, Dear." The women says, I smile and nod.

"The most beautiful I've seen yet."

"Me too, hopefully whoever you give these to will see that too." The women says handing me my change and flowers back.

"She has a beautiful mind so I'm almost sure she'll think the same thing." The women's smile brightens.

"Young love at its finest." she says, I quietly laugh and nod.

"We'll call it young love."

After that I quickly made it back to my bike, safely put the flowers in my bag, and started the bike only to be hit over the head and blank out. I woke up in a trunk of a car from the vibration of the music coming from the car, my breath got caught in my throat, I quickly looked around for something to help me out, I even screamed at the top of my lungs hoping to get noticed by another car. I waited and waited until I noticed the Headlights could be kicked out, I cursed at myself for not seeing that earlier and started kicking at the headlights I managed to get one out before the car stopped and the trunk popped open. I screamed at the man and tripped out the trunk in a attempt to get away only for him to punch me and knock me out once again.

Flashback Over

I had felt like I was in this room for hours and hours and hours at this point, I tried multiple times to get out of the rope only for it to burn my wrists and ankles even more and to get more frustrated with myself, if I was paying more attention I would of noticed Gil coming up behind me with a wooden bat.

Surely someone would have realized I'm missing by now. Right?

Someone defiantly notice. I think.

At the end of the day or what I think was the end of the day nobody ever entered the room, I was left in the room with my thoughts, struggles, and frustrations.

Thursday Night

"We can't just keep her here anymore, Jackson!" A distressed voice says, "we need to at least move her to another location!" They say, I wasn't awake yet I wasn't asleep at the same time and the voice sounded far away, like a old radio without signal coming in and out. 

"Relax Gilly, we've only been here for about two days." The voice says coolly.

"Yeah, a day to long!"

"Chill Gil" Jackson says with a chuckle "What's a little girl and her crap of a detective dad gonna do?" He asks with a scoff.

"You obviously don't know who Detective Luke Clint is!" Gil says harshly. "You're endangering the whole gang just to save your ass!"

"I'm doing this to save all our asses!" Jackson yells back with a annoyed tone.

"If you honestly think that you're lying to yourself and you need to open your fucking eyes!" Gil yells, and then I can't hear anything after that except my own breathing. 

Inhale. 

Exhale.

Author's Note: so this is a little weird but if ya'll haven't heard the song Chivalry Is Dead by Trevor Wesley please go listen to it because it's actually a cute bop lol. Thanks for reading! :)
