IN CROWD

Chapter XV

Excuse all errors

Lina huffed as she got of the bus and was making her way up the long driveway towards the house. Clara the maid greeted her as she enter the house. She smiles "are my parents here?" She asked.

"Yes they are here in the sitting room with Mr and Mrs Steele's?" She nods as made her way to the sitting room. The grownups were deep in conversation "mom, dad"she says interrupting them.
They all turned to look at that "Lina, is something wrong"

"Mom, Dad, Mr and Mrs Steele's" she greets them. "I think I know who kidnapped Becca"

"What, you know who kidnapped my baby" Natalie Steele says getting up.

  Lina looks at her, I'm not sure, but I have a hunch it's the same hunch Becca had that may have cause her disappearance"

"Come sit"her mother gestures towards her.

"Do we need to contact the police" Mr Steele ask

Natalie shakes her head "No David let us hear what she have to say first"

  "I don't know much only what Becca thought I should know she thinks that Andrea was raped by someone we went to school with".

" Why haven't the police picked up this young man" David says

"Lack of evidence and the victim doesn't want to testify"

                         ***

  After her session with her therapist Andrea walked outside onto the busy street she continues on her way to the bus stop where she took the bus downtown. She got off twenty minutes later and was now walking up the path to an abandon house that went on notice to the public. She stilled look around to see if anyone was looking.

  She walks in and was greeted by two strong arms engulfing her. "Hey you"he says kissing her on the neck, she turns in his arms wrapping her hands around his neck. She smiles at him and kisses him. "She is here"he says between kisses. She stops kissing him and smiles up at him her big brown eyes twinkling up at him.

"That's good" she continues to kiss him.
Becca listened as two people converse on the other side of the door she couldn't quite hear what they were saying but she heard their voices. She could even hear kissing sounds. Why did she have to go snooping, why did she even leave the party without Lina. She cried into her arms thinking about that night. That night everything changed. She was trapped in a place she didn't even know how she was going to escape. The talking continues she puts her ear to the door and listens.

  "Help" she screams. "Somebody please help me".

  "Do you hear her pathetic screams for help" she laughs still kissing her man. He chuckled between her kisses.

She stops kissing him, and walks towards the door where Becca was been held captive.  "Shut up you dumb bitch" she says.

Becca sniffles on the other side of the door, she know that voice. It was none other than her used to be best friend.

"Andrea" she says "please help me"

She laughs "help you, girl I'm the reason why you're dumb ass is here in the first place "

"You set this whole thing up ?"she asked.

"I did, I set this whole thing up and I'm going to get what I want and me and Jamie will be boarding a plane to Aruba."

"Why I am here?" She asked her.

"Let's see, you have everything, mom and the dad. The huge ass house and money lots of money. What do I get nothing, a mom who makes minimum wage to make ends meet while our dad is playing father of the year with you not even caring he has another child out there" she says she was now crying.

Our father

"What do you mean our father?"

"Oh Becca didn't your perfect parents tell you. I could of been the one with the rich family not you but your whorish mother had to get in the way of that she had to come and flaunt her good looks and make daddy-dearest fall for her charms and instead of marrying my mom he marries yours."

"Why I'm here Andrea what did I do to you. I was nothing but a good friend to you"

She laughs " oh sweet Becca you flaunted your money and fancy clothes in my face and expect me to be your friend I hated you just as hate your mom and the reason why you here you are going to pay. I'm going to take back everything you took from me."

Becca cries "please don't do this. Were supposed to be friends."

"Our friendship ended the moment my mom told me truth."

"What happened at the party?"she questions. "Did you get raped"

Andrea laughs" where do I start" she says as she sat down to tell her side of the story.

[Flashback]

Andrea looks at her self in her standing mirror she was dressed in a skinny tight fitted dress that showed of her curves she paired it with black sandals and her gold Rolex watch she had got from her grandmother for her birthday. She was on her way to a party at Mona's house.
She had missed her friendship with Becca, it was just a couple of weeks since Becca called it quits. She pushed the thought of Becca behind her as she left her room, she was about to leave when her mother called her, she rolled her eyes, her mother would always have something to say to her when she was in the middle of something.

What she her mother told she didn't expect to hear. She told her about how trifling Natalie Steele was. That made Andrea boil so she had a plan. A plan she had to set up real quick. She knew Becca would coming looking snaking questions if something was to happen to her because that was the kind of person she was a kind soul.

 
She had called her boyfriend Jamie,  nobody new who he was. He was nineteen a highschool dropout. He worked as a mechanic at the auto shop on Maine Street. She told him her plan. Even though Jamie thought it was sick, she wanted him to go through with it. She and Jamie had sex at the party and she had him flim it and it was her who had posted the video. She even had him knocked her around a couple times.

Becca couldn't believe the story that her friend was telling her, this couldn't be the friend she knew. This couldn't be the girl she knew with the bubbly personality that light up a room. This couldn't be the individual she used to call her friend the person that sat on the other side of the door relying what had happened that night was a sick individual who needed help.
