Super Bad Luck

Chapter 6 - About Me

Daniel POV
I looked at him in his face while I told him I didn't have the key, of course I lied but he didn't know that. I saw his face change from hopeful to helpless and it was so satisfying. As I was leaving, Del gave me a confused look as Aidan told us we could let him go as long as we put a tracker on his phone but I didn't want him to leave, not yet. After I had told him I didn't have the keys, he went straight to Del who slipped his things into my jumper pocket he wore before saying that I was the one who had the keys.

Like the lost little puppy he was, he came chasing after me when he was told the keys were in my hands. I smirked as he gave me a dirty look before pushing his cuffed hands out to me once again. I move from the kitchen up to my bedroom with him following me, huffing along the way as I casually ate the dark chocolate from this morning.

When I got to my room I sat on the bed and offered him the chocolate which he quickly nodded to which made me chuckle. He bit off as much as he could manage and I scowled at him as he took more than he should have. He then offered me his hands again and I slowly bit off another piece of chocolate, making sure his eyes were on my mouth, I watched him lick his lips.

I pulled the keys out of my pocket and had an idea. "What's in it for me? You get to go home and do I get what?" He tried using my jumper as in him giving it back to me but I refused. Before we could talk anymore, he disappeared and reappeared again really quickly that I almost missed it. It was like the flicker of a lightbulb but I still managed to catch it and now I was wondering just what exactly he was.

I tediously grabbed his arms and pulled them close to me very slowly as he flickered away and came back. I was intrigued by his ability that was unknown to me. He watched me as if he had no clue what I was looking at so I decided to ignore it and I unlocked his handcuffs. Before I could talk, I was distracted with his eyes on my lips and how close he was to my face. He closed his eyes which made me close mine and I felt him come closer, my head turn harshly to the side and my eyes open up wide. He slapped me! I went to complain but before I could, he rushed out of the door and out of the house.

My hand ghosted over to where his hand had been prior to the moment and smirked slightly even though my skin felt hot under my hand. The unexpected gesture was confusing but I wasn't worried. He'd be back, I just knew it, I could feel it.

Alex POV
I slapped him, in the face, for no good reason. Oops... I mean, he kidnapped me, that's a good enough reason, right? I definitely did not do it just because I felt like it....

I ran out of the house while rubbing my wrists that aches from the handcuffs, they had red velvet on the insides that I didn't see before. They must do some kinky stuff in that house, I cringed at the thought. Then I slowed down from running when I realised, I have no f*cking clue where I was. I was stood in the morning light for about five minutes wondering what on earth I was going to do. Knowing my luck, I was bound to go the wrong way. I was about to sit down when I realised Delilah had put my phone back in my pocket. I pulled it out and only had 10% left which freaked me out. Luckily, the place had signal so I used maps to get home, it was not too bad, only a fifteen minute walk home which could have been worse.

I was absolutely shattered when I got home, I climbed the small window and laid on the floor of my bedroom like a drunkard. I could barely stand on my feet, so I wobbled over to my bed and jumped on it kicking my shoes off while laying my face in my pillow. I must have fallen asleep until the afternoon as I woke up and it was nearly dark outside. I woke up in my grotty clothes and felt claustrophobic and gross so I went to the shower while stripping my clothes off on my way. Although my family aren't that close, we are all very comfortable walking around naked in front of eachother. I don't really see why other people think it's weird, it's natural in our family. It's not that I go flaunting it around them, I just don't care if they see, you know?

Anyways, I had a shower, walked back to my room and put on some clothes then ate some cereal (even though it was lunch time) before doing homework that made me want to throw myself down the stairs. A normal Saturday really which was as boring as it sounds. I hadn't glitched since last time and only my brother was home and he stayed in his room all day.
When it was dinner time, my parents were home so I told them I was not hungry, although I wasn't, I also had the nagging feeling that I am too fat. Even though I know I am quite skinny, I always feel like I still have too much fat on me and it didn't help me eating that meal at the kidnappers house. I have atypical anorexia nervosa which means I'm basically not skinny enough to have anorexia but I have anorexic tendencies. There's no background story to it really, like in most books I've read, just one day I decided I wanted to be thinner and it lead to this.

I was diagnosed Half a year ago when my dad noticed me skipping meals, I had to go to the doctors and I was put through many tests. I thought it was a waste of time to be honest, even though I'm not at the weight that I probably should be, it wasn't too dangerous. As if on cue, mum came up to give me a few breakfast bars and chocolate to try and get me to eat before leaving to go back down stairs. Even though we are not that close, they still do small gestures which are appreciated by me. I put one of the bars in my pocket and hid the rest, I would hate to upset my mum if she realised I didn't eat it, I'd just have it for breakfast tomorrow.

After shoving a few things in my pockets, I climbed out the window without changing into my costume, tonight, I was just going to be me.
