The Emo Girl

The kidnapping

Linda POV (flashback)
Enough is enough! I can't stand these letters, phone calls and texts anymore! Who the heck is this guy, huh? Who does he think he is? He thinks he's so amazing that he calls himself PRINCE CHARMING?! I'm gonna put an end to this. He says he wants to meet me at the cafe in West Street. Alright, I'll go. I'll go and give him a piece of my mind!
The next day, I woke up and had my breakfast with my family. I must've looked really sour because Robin kept calling me Sour Milk Lindsey.
"Why are you so Sour today, Lindsey?" Robin asked. "Did you eat Umeboshi sour plum or something? Your ph level must be less than one!"
"Stop that..." I said. "I'm just, really sleepy. I didn't get enough sleep last night. Must be something wrong with the pillow..."
"There's an extra pillow in the guest room if you want," mom offered. "It's a new pillow, just exchange that one with the one you have now."
I nodded and continued to eat my breakfast. It was my favourite French Toast with honey. I don't know why, but deep down, it felt like this is my last breakfast. I just ignored the feeling and continued to eat. After that, I muttered a goodbye to my family and left. I went over to the cafe at West Street and went inside. I sat down at the second last table. I took out my phone and texted him to ask if he was here.
Me: Where are u?
Creep: In the cafe
Me: Where?
Creep: Behind u
My heart started thumping so fast as I turned around to see a guy waving at me from the next table. I was really surprised when I saw who it was. It was Anthony! The Anthony from my class! He's Prince Charming?!
I went over to his table and sat in front of him, extremely annoyed and EXTREMELY disgusted.
"We're you surprised babe?" He asked me. "Did you expect that it would be me, baby?"
"Okay first of all, Don't Call me Baby," I said. "You got some nerve to do that."
"For a second, I thought you were gonna sing the song 'Don't Call Me Baby' by Madison Avenue," said Anthony. "I was already imagining your sweet voice singing it!"
"What do you want with me?" I asked. "I don't like beating around the bush, so I expect you to be the same. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Well," said Anthony, grinning. "I want you."
"Well then, it's not your day," I said, and got up to walk away. "Goodbye."
"Wait wait!" He said and came after me. "I'm sorry I was just messing around. Can we sit and talk properly?"
"About what?" I asked. "I barely even know you."
"Oh come on," he said, pulling my hand, but I shook it free. "Just sit down and have a drink with me. It's on me."
"Fine whatever," I said and sat down. "I'll pay myself. What do you even want?"
"I just wanna talk to you," said Anthony. "I just wanna be with you."
"You could've skipped all those notes and calls right?" I said. "If you did, I might have considered. But now, I just feel like kicking you in the face."
Suddenly, his digital watch beeped. He just got up and called me.
"We have to go," he said suddenly. "Come on, we need to go now."
"What is it?" I asked, getting up. "Where are we going?"
"Just come," he said. "I wanna show you something."
"Show me what?" I asked, confused. "Where are you taking me?"
"It's a surprise," he said. "It's a huge surprise! Come with me."
I followed, feeling confused. I don't know why, but I could feel my stomach churning. I felt scared, like I was being led into a pit of fire or something.
I followed him out of the cafe, and he led me to the alleyway behind the cafe. I was confused. Why did he bring me here? I prepared myself to fight, just in case.
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked. "What are you gonna do to me?"
Just before he could reply, a big black Toyota Alphard parked at the entryway of the alley. Burly men wearing masks jumped out and pulled me in. I could see Anthony standing there, dumbfounded.
After that, they handed him a bundle of money and slid the door shut. He's in on this? But why? What did I ever do to him? I just can't take it anymore. I struggled to get free, and leave this van to beat the crap out of him! I looked at him out of the tinted window in anger. I really wanted to get up and punch him so hard until he's knocked out!
But I couldn't, because at that very moment, I felt something sharp go down my neck. It felt like the needle of an injection. I felt the liquid enter my system as I slowly lost consciousness.
I don't know how long I've been unconscious. When I woke up, I was in a place that looked like a warehouse. Just then, a guy came in. The guy was masked, I couldn't see his face. He looked like a thug. He put a pack of food and a bottle of water in front of me.
"Eat this," he said and then left.
I felt like I should eat it to gain energy, but then again, the food may be drugged. I went to the door to listen. I heard them speaking.
"Did you drug the food?" I heard someone ask.
"No I didn't," said another voice. "The boss said to not do anything like that. He says he wants to kill her after making her know who her killer is and drugging her won't do."
"Oh right," said the other voice. "When's he coming again?"
"In a few days' time," said the other guy. "Until then, the boss told us to keep her well fed."
Alright now I know that the food is safe to eat. I ate the food and it was a burger and some fries from a fast food restaurant. Normally, I would have enjoyed this. But now, I hated this. As soon as I was done, a guy came to check on me. They took the food wrappers away and left me alone in the room.
I'm guessing that they're gonna check on me tonight, before I sleep. It was already night because I could see from the small window that the sun had completely set and it was dark outside. I snuggled down closer too the wall and pretended to sleep.
After about an hour or so, I heard the door open. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping that they wouldn't notice that I'm not asleep. I think they didn't because I heard the door close and footsteps walking away from the door. I slowly went toward it to listen.
"The girl's asleep," said one of the guys. "So that means we can sleep too."
"Oh finally," said another guy. "I was beginning to think that we're supposed to stay awake throughout the whole night!"
I must get out of here as soon as they sleep. I must wait for my chance.
