Possession [boyxboy]

26. "help! i'm being kidnapped"

Carter's POV:

I could feel the tears drying on my face. My hands were bound behind my back by rope. And there was a rag in my mouth.

I can't believe this is happening. I should've known it was a trap.

I'm such an idiot. How did I let this happen?

..~*Flashback*~..

"Carter, you need to go to the office. Your parents are here to pick you up," Mrs. Kinsley said to me, causing my eyes to widen and look up at her.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"Apparently a family friend has passed away, someone named Jared or..."

"Jerald?" I asked, my heart starting to hurt.

She gave me a sympathetic smile. "I'm so sorry, sweetie."

I gathered my stuff and stood from my seat. I passed Kaitlyn's seat as I got to the door and she stopped me. "Where ya going?" She asked.

"Um, my family's here to pick me up. It's an emergency."

"Oh no, what's happened?"

"Um, someone very close to me has, um, passed away," I responded, trying my best to hold back my tears.

Her eyes widened as she stood up to hug me. "I'm so sorry to hear that," I could feel a few teardrops slip out of my eyes and onto her shirt. "Text me if you need me," she said as she pulled away and smiled at me.

I nodded my head as I turned and made my way to the door of the classroom.

I left the classroom and made my way to the stairwell. I could feel my legs getting wobbly and weak. I could barely see through all the tears welling up in my eyes.

Before I knew it I was at the front office.

I walked in and the office ladies were talking to each other and joking around.

"Um, hi," I said, causing them to look over at me. "I'm Carter Martindale. My, um, parents said they're here," I said, and then realized what I had just said. My parents are here, and they're planning to pick me up and take me away from here, without Jesse.

"Oh yeah, they're out front. And they wanted me to tell you that your brother is with them as well."

I outwardly sighed. Thank God, Marcus will be there too. Now I'm not as nervous.

"I'm sorry about your loss," the lady said to me as I approached the front door to the school.

I didn't really know how to respond to that so all I said was, "um, thanks..."

I walked away from the school and towards the parking lot where I could see one of my fathers cars parked.

I didn't even notice until I was almost to the car but with every step closer, my heart race picked up more and more.

I opened the back door of the car and hopped in. As soon as I shut the door, the car took off. I looked around and realized that Marcus was, in fact, not here.

But my dad was, and my mom was in the drivers seat. I started to get a bad feeling.

"W-where's Marcus?" I stuttered out, nervously.

My dad just grimaced at me before his hand moved back quickly, forming into a fist. I knew what was going to happen, and I couldn't do anything about it.
