IN THE LONG RUN (BOOK 2 OF BAR BLUES!)

Chapter 6: I need...to...

Melody's Pov:

'Get the delivery guys to take it to the warehouse in Seattle!'

'Yes sir'

'Sir what do we do with the girl?'

My eyes flutter open at the mention of my presence.

'Take her to the boat and put her in one of the containers will move everything over night and deal with her aswell!' I hear a voice yell.

I am alone. Everyone has left. Who will fight for me? No one knows I have gone!

Suddenly, I hear footsteps coming from outside the back of the jeep. I quickly shut my eyes in hopes to look passed out.

'You!' I hear another man command his voice a lot deeper. Another set of footsteps approach. 'Help me take her to the boat!'

My whole body feels light as there greasy hands pick me up. We don't walk for long when I feel my legs sway to the rhythm of the boat.

'Put her down gently boss doesn't want her awake until we get there!' The deep voice booms inside the containment box.

Once the metal steal doors slam shut I begin to move searching for anything to use to get out. Luckily enough the idiots that carried me untied my ropes leaving me free to move.

Nothing. It's empty. I am stuck. All alone on a boat with people that are taking me to probably be killed. Fun.

I walk over to the containment steal doors and begin to shake them regretting it the minute I do.

My body stumbles back in shock at the doors being thrown open. The man I believe to have put me in here stomps towards me with a blank expression plastered on his face. When his arm begins to swing I duck running out the way towards the light.

I am free. My feet are taking me away towards the front of the ship when I hear feet stops closing in. I stop bluntly making the person chasing me full to the ground with a loud thud.

Quickly, I regain pace tracking my eyes around the deck looking for any sign of a lifeboat.

I undo the hooks that keep the boat in place, as I climb in I pull the trigger that drops it into the sea. Splash! It drops in swaying the boat fiercely but I settle it.

My arms begin to swing round and round spinning violently in hopes to make a distance between me and the ship.

                                 ***
It feels like years when I finally get at least a couple of miles away. My arms ache like hell and my head is dripping with sweat. I need...to sleep...I need...to...eat. Darkness.

Bobby's Pov:
My head spins in ideas of what could be happening to Melody right now. Is she okay? Where is she? Does Mr Faux have her? Is she dead? How could I have let this happen?

Suddenly I am pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of someone shouting my name.

'Bobby!' Layla yells as I turn to look at her.

'Sorry' I stumble.

'Are you okay? You really zoned out then?' She chuckles nervously 'I thought I was gonna have to slap you in a minute'

'Haha yeah...just in thought' I laugh.

'Oh okay...do you want to talk about it?' She asks.

'No it's okay don't worry let's talk about our wedding' I reply quickly changing the subject.

'Erm...if your sure?' She questions.

'Yh come on I want to know what you have planned and if we can afford it!' I joke.

'Haha it's not that extravagant' she replies. 'I want a outdoor wedding with flowers everywhere and daisies being thrown by the flower girl and boy and..' she continues but I slowly tune out my thoughts running wild with ways that Melody is being tortured or killed. What am I going to do?

'Bobby?!' Layla yells 'Are you even listening to me?'

'Of course baby!' I smile pulling her into my side.

'Okay good so as I was saying what do you want to do for our wedding?'

'Well erm, I actually have no clue' I reply sheepishly.

'You have to have some sort of idea!'

'Well I don't really want it traditional and I only want our intimate family there but other than that not a clue'

'Well that's helpful but why only our intimate family?' She asks.

'Well ever since my parents died I haven't really been close with anyone except you guys and my Nan but she can't make it so I just want your mum, dad and George there really'

My eyes begin to prick with tears at the thought of my parents. The way my dad used to pick me up and swing me about like a rocket and the amazing hugs my mum used to give me when I would cry or full over.

I never found out what happened to them. I just heard stories and rumours of what people thought happened. Car accident was the main one that everyone said and after a while I began to believe it but no one knows what actually happened. The doctors never said and no one could bare to ask.

My nan looked after me until I was old enough to look after my self and when I moved to New York a year later she died. Luckily though I always had George and Layla's family they took me in when I needed them and looked after me. Louise is like a third mum to me after to my nan.

'I just want your family there however if you want more I don't mind'

'That's okay I don't mind just my parents and my idiotic brother George it would be cheaper' she chuckles.

'Thank you' I whisper gently kissing her on the head. She snuggles into me wrapping her arms around me in comfort. Her beautiful head looks up to me smiling as I lean down and kiss her.

'That was nice'
