Don't make the same mistakes again

Back together

Carlo

Right now, there was only one thing in my mind. Emma. I was in such a hurry that when I trudged out of the house, I forgot to grab my phone and a shirt. 

Now, my teeth was chattering as I ran to Emma's place. 

When I finally reached her house, I don't know whether to be excited and grateful or nervous and worried. The lights were dim and I could sense no presence in both their rooms. It felt strange. 

Most of the time, there would be at least one person at home. 

With a flicker of hope, I rapped at the door and waited patiently.

Out of a sudden, it gushed open and my smile turned upside down when I saw a tied up mess. The girls were sprawled on the ground tied up at the counter. Uh oh......

"Well, well, well. Look what we've got here, if it isn't Brayleigh's little bait." Bait? She sent me here to get caught as bait? I gritted my teeth and growled at him. "What do you want?" 

He just shot me a smug look, "Oh... don't worry, we don't want you, we're just using Brayleigh's bait as ours right now, and she'll be falling heads over heels into our trap, into my arms." He shoved me to a corner and someone tied me from the back and blindfolded me, "Hey I---" 

A cloth was stuffed inside my mouth with something inside. My heart was thumping and my breathing was ragged. I tried my best to stay calm and hoped someone would come and save us. 

From the side, I heard someone fall on their side and the next thing I heard was Emma whispering to me. "Don't worry, my sister called the police before they could even step foot into this house, they'd be here in no time." I smiled through the thick cloth stuffed in my mouth. 

Brayleigh

I met Mark at his house and we drove over to Em's. The light was so dim it was almost dark, I stared at it long enough for Mark to walk up and slam a fist into the door. I could have sworn if the door was made of wood, the door would have broken off. My attention was sucked away from him when Tony stood at the door. "Tony," I hissed, "when will you realize playtime is over?"

"When will you realize all I ever wanted was you?" I shot him a look of disgust and said bitterly, "You're a serious asshole, your parents definitely didn't teach you the proper way of winning a girl's heart, and one of them is definitely not to wake them from beauty sleep and scaring her out of her wits and making her pissed, so pissed that she would send you to a hell of a ride." 

He gaped, but quickly recovered and released a baleful laugh, "And that my friends, is what you call guts h---" I retrieved my pocket knife and flung it, just right in front of him and beside Mark. "Are you nuts? I'm here professing my true l---" 

"Shut up! I swear if I am murderous enough, that knife, would have shot you in your damn mouth!" I could see him gulp, not sure of the words that escaped my mouth or of the FBI officers that had stepped out of their vehicles. 

A cop announced through a loudhailer, "Surrender yourselves and step out of the building. Tony grunted and stepped out of the building head held high, he walked past me and threatened, "I would never dream of hurting you, my love, but the next time we meet, which would be awfully soon, one of them would die if you continue refusing me." The cop gave me a questionable look, "Miss, is he giving you a problem?" 

"Not at all sir, he's just asking for a good and heavy punishment, one that a gangster delights." He shots daggers at me and I gave him one tight slap across his face leaving a red mark, and the cops took him and his gang away. Mark looked at me in awe, "I think next time I say something I better watch my mouth or I might just be lucky enough to get that."
