Stuck with him

Chapter 6

"SCARED"

Ariel's POV:

I kept staring at Joey in shock. Is he joking or something. Then looked back at my handcuffed hand. Yes, i am handcuffed to a frikking cupboard.

"You're kidding right? You can't be serious." I gave him a nervous chuckle as i tried to free my hand.

"Oh i am serious." He said smirking and walking backwards towards the door. Every step he took towards the door, my heart sank even more. "You are staying here for a little while babe. You'll learn your lesson here. While i finally get a day off from you." He turned around to get out the door. Is he really going to leave me alone here?

"Joey!"

"No!"

"Don't leave me alone. Come back please. I am scared." He just laughed.

"I'll be back." He looked at his watch. "In a few hours." He said grinning.

"HOURS!?!? Are u kidding me?" Maybe he's just messing with me.

"JOEY!!! DONT GO!!! JOEEEYYYY!!!" Aaaaand he shut the door and everything went silent. By now the school must be empty cause I can't hear anything. Where is everybody? Where is the freaking janitor??? How can they do this? How can they just leave me in here? "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!" I yelled but guess no one heard me. Suddenly i felt very scared and all of the scenes from the horror movie i saw few days ago seemed so realistic. I sat down on the ground, my left arm hanging in the air because of the handcuff. I wrapped my right arm around my legs and looked here and there. Scared af. At the windows. Then at the door. Then again at the windows. Then again at the door. Thinking someone would barge in. Then i looked at the window and I gasped. I swear i saw..... i think? A little girl in white clothes hanging upside down from the tree outside the window. These were just the scenes from that movie i saw playing in my head. No no no. I shook my head. I am just imagining things. Oh God i am going crazy thinking about all the scary stuff that could happen. What if something creepy came out of nowhere. Like a vampire? A zombie? Or a ghost? Or worse, a cockroach! I won't even be able to run. By the way I don't believe in ghosts but in this situation my mind is making me believe. Forget ghosts. What if a scary human came in at this moment. Like a serial killer or a rapist or something. Now i wish Joey had at least locked the door from outside then i would've felt safer knowing no one can get in except him. I sat there jumping at every little sound from outside. I took my phone out of my pocket and called Joey but he declined my call. Of course. I rolled my eyes. Such asshole. Should i call my mom? But I don't want her to be worried. I mean Joey said he'll come back. I am sure he'll come back. Maybe they are just trying to scare me off. I just wish he comes back sooner. If he didn't come back in like 20 minutes i'll call mom. I don't even know anyone else here. Wish i had David's number. He would've helped me. Oh God what've i gotten myself into.....

-few hours later-

Still waiting for Joey, i stood up and rubbed my left hand as it felt numb hanging in the air for so long. Its been hours and still no sign of anyone. I am so freaking scared. I even tried calling my mom but she isn't picking up. At this point i am even scared of screaming for help. Like what if i scream for help and attract some creepy guy's attention. I am just scared and so tired. I wanna cry. I wanna cry so hard. I think i should try calling my mom again. I unlocked my phone and just as i was about to call my mom, she called me. I picked up instantly.

"Hello! Mom!"

"Ariel, where are you-u?" Her voice was shaky and sounded weak.

"Mom? Are you okay?" I forgot about my situation and focused on her voice.
