Chap. 19

POV: Logan (next day)

Too fricken tired. Melonie had left school and I had waited up all night for her to text me back. What was her prablem anyway? It's not like I posted it on the school website. I slammed the car door closed in the school parking lot, scanning the grounds for Melonie or someone from our group. 

I saw Felix. With Melonie. Yelling. what in the world? 

I watched them for a moment before going inside the school. I was too far away to hear what they where saying, but Melonie was obviously mad at him for something. After she walked away from him, I got my chance to talk to her. 

I ran up to her, trying to catch her before she went inside the school. "Melonie! Melonie wait up!" 

Melonie turned around, and looked at me with her blue eyes glistening in the sun light. She stopped for a moment to let me catch up to her. "How was your first day?" I asked, but instantly regretted it when her fake smile turned into a frown. "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that" 

"It's fine. It was not so great- you saw the picture, didn't you?" 

I nodded. Melonie wasn't looking at me, but at the ground. "um, want to get a bite after school?" I asked nervously. I really wanted to cheer her up, and A: she was HOT. B: Maybe she will actually like me.... 

Melonie shrugged and I couldnt help but smile. "Sure. Where and when?" She asked, still looking at the ground. 

"um, chubby's?" I asked. she nodded and my heart fluttered. A date, with Melonie Smith?! I cant beleive it! UGHM! 

Ouch.... "Logan you okay?!" Melonie helped me off the floor. what the heck? 

"SISTER SELLER SISTER SELLER!"

Melonie looked horrified. When my blurry vision focused, I saw someone standing infront of us, looking at us like we where an exibit at the zoo. He was laughing, and pointing. 

"What the heck, man?" I yelled, and stood infront of Melonie to protect her <3. The guy, who I didn't know the name of, just stared at me menacingly 

"what? You dont honestly thing Ramona just, flew away do you?" everyone around us laughed. 

"No, but I also dont beleive Melonie had anything to do with it!" I yelled back, gritting my teeth. I realy, REALY wanted to just strangle this prick. "She cares a lot for her sister. We are all under a lot of stress right now, so maybe you just need to chill out man. Stop with the whole sister selling thing. its not funny, and it doest make you cool. it makes you a jerk." 

He looked at me, stunned, before glaring and turning on his heels to walk the other direction. 

"T-Thanks Logan." Melonie chocked. I hugged her tight, breathing in her strawberry sented hair. She pulled away all too soon. 'Come on, we have to get to class." just then the bell rang. Freaky huh? We walked down the hall before going in seperate directions. I gave her a thumbs up as she went into her first class of the day. I couldnt wait for the end of the day. A date with Melonie Smith.... 

POV: Ramona 

Bored. This creep had no idea what the word 'fun' was. when he left, he gave me a book and yoyo. like, really? I was lying on my back, arms stretched out to my sides, staring at the stained ceiling. I sat up, looking around the room again. It was carpeted, an improvment, with grey walls and an attached bathroom, prabobly someones old room. 

A spider decended from the ceiling- I'd kill it, but it was the only thing I had to look at. My eye's began to close slowly- I haven't slept the past few days, afraid I'd have a nightmare again. The nights dragged by longer than the day's did. I did not have any way to tell time because the room did not have any windows.

Are they still looking for me, or have they given up? It has been a few months now. Iv'e lost a lot of weight (I was skinny before- but now I am basically skin and bone). 

The creep could have at least left me a radio or something. Anything. 

My eyes began to close again, i was too tired to resist sleep this time. Please no night mares, please no night ma- 

I run. I run and I dont stop. How I got out of that place I cant recall. I just know im free. I crash through the woods with a smile plastered to my face. I can go home. I can see Melonie and my friends, hek! I can even go to school! 

I stop abruptly as I see a group of people walking ahead of me. 

Melonie, she was with her friends. They were in the woods, searching for something, searching for me. I walk behind them, only feet away from the nearest one, Angel I think. Felix hold Melonie close as a figure, shaded by the dark, looks on. should I warn them? Maybe its just a shadow... 

While I contemplat this, "Ramona!" Melonie shrieks. I rush to her open arms, crying into her shoulder. "Ramona, Ramona oh I missed you so much!" 

"I missed you too Melonie." I cry. 

Everyone gathers around, patting my back and asking if Im okay. The I see it, the shadow, its definatly a person. "Melonie, Melonie?" Melonie is looking in the same direction as me, squinting against the light of the sun. 

"I bet it's nothing," she said, then turned back around to me. But It wasn't nothing- the shadow grew closer and closer. My heart began to race.

Could it be the guy. the kidnapper? Could it be an animal? Maybe it really was nothing. Maybe I was just paranoid? 

A figure revealed itself from the trees. It was a horrifying sight, to say the least- the kidnapper my kidnapper. He was holding a gun and it was pointed at Melonie. 

I woke up to the sound of a gunshot. 

For a second I felt like was in my room- I could picture it perfectly. It had pink walls and a purple bed. Posters where on the wall and my soccor trophies where on a shelf. But, when my eyes opened, I found myself in the same place that I was since he moved me out of the cabin. I sighed. 

I just wanna go home....
