Fixing My Heart ➣ Sam Pottorff

Chapter 17

grabbing her I ran, and ran, and ran, and continued to run. She screamed and cried, but honestly I wouldn't blame her.

I'd do the same, if I wasn't running.

I continued to run until I saw a building, entering it, hoping they wouldn't find me. I looked around, my heart dropping.

I just ran around in circles.

Ryan and Acacia walked torwards me, kicking me until I bled, pulling my sister away from me as I pled for them not to.

"I'd think after my special treatment you'd learn. Guess whores never learn they're medicine do they?" He kicks me again, grabbing me and pushing me forwards a strong guy.

"Dunn, take her. Fuck her so hard she won't ever be able to escape." He nods, grabbing me harshly, pushing me into an upstairs room, locking the door after him. He hovers over me, a shy smile playing on his lips.

"I'm not here to hurt you. I never even agreed to help Ryan and Acacia anyways." I sighed in relief but not entirely did I believe him. That was until I looked at him close.

"James?" He chuckled, looking straight at me now. James Michael Dunn. My childhood best friend. We practically grew up together in each other's front yards. Our parents were practically best friends. That was until James had to move away because his father had joined the army due to the fact his mother was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. I hope she's doing okay now.

"James what the hell are you doing here?" "I could ask the same thing to you if I could but I kinda already know your situation." I half smile, hugging him. He didn't hug back immediately, but once he did I felt a weight being lifted off my shoulder.

"James you have to get my sister out of here." His eyes are filled with worried, a sigh releasing his mouth.

"I can't." I push away from him, him standing up. "I don't know where she is. They took her to a separate room in the North wing. There has to be at least 5 different rooms there." I sigh, a lightbulb dinging in my little injured brain of mine.

"I have an idea."

"This drive is honestly taking forever." Connor sighs, I smacking him. "If it was your sister Con, you'd understand. Just a few more miles and we'll be in Reno." He scoffs, tossing and turning as he tries to sleep. After Sam showed me the sketchy text message, the boys and I decided we'd go look for Gabriela-well attempt to. I'd do anything for her. I feel absolutely terrible because of this but also because I promised my mom I would let anything happen to her but it did, and it's all my fucking fault.

It's always my fault, for everything.

"What the actual fuck." I mutter, watching as traffic unfolded before us. Just my fucking luck. We go into the carpool lane, yet that too was packed with people. "We're not gonna make it in time." I say under my breath, closing my eyes to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill. I'm not an emotional person, and absolutely hate crying in front of people. But this is my goddamn sister we're talking about. I can't lose her because of traffic, I should've never lost her in the first place. I hit my feet against the glove compartment, watching a cut unveil into a red mess throw my pants.

This is fucking ridiculous.

I beep the horn, people making their way out of the way to let us pass, yet we still ended up in traffic.

THREE CAR PILE UP ON I-27 HEADING TORWARDS LAS VEGAS

"IS THIS FUCKING SERIOUSLY WHY WE ARE FUCKING STUCK HERE?!" I exclaim, jumping out of the car, Sam following.

"Jc, Sam- where the fuck are you guys going?!" I chuckle, turning around as I begin to walk.

"To find my sister."

WELCOME TO FABULOUS LAS VEGAS!

The bright lights shown in my face like a pickup truck, covering my eyes. We had been walking for almost a good 5 hours, finally making it to vegas. Not to mention we passed by deadly places such as the toxic waste dumps. We stopped at a hotel, a The Excalibur to be exact, getting a room just for a night since we don't exactly know how long we'll be here. I plan on not sleeping tonight, or tomorrow, or any day till we find Gabriela.

And goddamnit, if she-

I won't be able to forgive myself.

"Jc!" I hear Sam exclaim, smacking my arm to get my attention. "Unless it's news about Gabriela, I don't care." He practically shoved the phone in my face, I reading the message once my vision came back into view.

From: Unknown Number

I need you to listen very carefully.

Go to Sunrise Mountain located in Sunrise Manor, Nevada. There you will find a bright blue note pinned against the back of school #105, also known as O'Callaghan Middle School. There it will tell you specific directions as of where you can sneak into the rooms in the Mansion Anjelieh, Gabriela, and Jessica are located at. The note will also have an invitation to the party Ryan and Acacia will be having Saturday night. There it will have specific directions on what to wear and what to do. This is all I can say, I hope you will be able to attend.

Gabriela has been staying in Mansion #403, South Wing while Anjelieh is in North Wing, beside the pool area.

Be careful, security guards will be blocking every side of the school since they will be holding a party tomorrow night. If you get caught, game is over.

See you soon.

And from this point on, I know myself that I will never be the Justin Castillo Caylen I was before.
