Damaged Lover

Chapter 3: Plan to Trick Nathan

Myka's point of view

We won homecoming. After the game, we went to the locker room and took showers so we all wouldn't stink at the dance. Alek and I were standing at our lockers putting on our suits, I was excited to see Saige in a tux. Though I had a pretty good idea on how he'd look in one because Alek was his identical twin.

Alek and I were just finishing getting ready when a hysterical Tyson came bursting through the doors of the locker room.

"Alek!" Tyson screamed through tears.

Tyson came crashing into me, so I held him.

"Ty, where's Saige?" I asked worriedly when I didn't see Saige come following him in.

"Nathan" Tyson managed through tears, "he took Saige."

When Tyson said that, it was like everything had froze around me. Everyone in the room stopped moving and stared. No one moved until most of us jumped when Alek punched his locker.

"That bastard!" Alek yelled angrily.

"Did he say anything?" I asked weakly.

Tyson looked up at me with tears streaming down his face, "he said to tell Alek, he finally took what he's wanted for so long. That no one will be able to take Saige away from him again like Chancey took him away from him.... Myka I don't want to lose him, he's my best friend."

I finally let go of Tyson and sat down on the bench and called my dad.

"This better be good Myka James" my father Sargent Evan Night said as he answered the phone.

"Dad, it's Saige" I said as everything finally hit me.

"What about him?" he asked concerned.

"Nathan took him dad" I said as tears began to flow down my face. "Nathan has him."

"Shit" my father said as Alek sat beside me. "Did anyone see him take Saige?"

"Tyson saw him" I said weakly. "He spoke to Ty. Said no one was going to take Saige from him again or something like that. Dad what am I gonna do? I won't be able to live if something happens to Saige."

"Hey, calm down son" dad said seriously. "We will find him Myka."

"I really hope so Dad" I said and tried wiping tears off my face, but they wouldn't stop flowing.

"We are on our way son" dad said. "See you soon."

We hung up, and we all left the locker room. Once we were outside, the twins parents came rushing over. As soon as Mrs. Michaels saw me, she had me in a bone crushing hug and I finally just started crying hard.

"Hey honey it's gonna be okay" Mrs. Michaels said in her soft voice. "Saige is a fighter, he will figure something out."

"I just got him" I cried, "and I am losing him already."

She rubbed my back while fighting tears herself.

The police and my father showed up and started asking everyone questions.

That night I just went home instead of going to homecoming. That didn't last very long as Alek, Forest and Kayson came and made me go to the dance.

While at the dance, I was sitting in a chair miserable because Saige wasn't here with me. I watched couples dance to slow songs as I sat there with tears streaming down my face. I got up and went outside to get fresh air because I couldn't stand to be in there any longer.

Once I was outside, I pulled out my pack of cigarettes that I haven't touched in so long. 

"I thought you quit?" I heard Nathan ask.

I got pissed off and slammed him against the wall, "where is he, you sick son-of-a-bitch."

"Hmm now why would I tell you that?" Nathan asked seriously. "So you could take him from me just like Chancey?"

"Saige doesn't like you" I gritted out angrily, "now tell me where he is."

Nathan laughed in my face as I pressed a button on my phone that would call my father.

"Well he is safe is all I'm saying" Nathan said chuckling.

"You bastard" I said angrily, "if anything else happens to him because of you.."

"You'll what?" Nathan taunted. "You gonna kill me? If you kill me, you will never find Saige. Then he will die of hunger, of thirst."

"Tell me where he is" I screamed at him.

He just laughed in my face then his face dropped when we heard the police sirens. He tried and failed to get out of my grip.

"Let me go" Nathan said. "They can't get me yet."

I held him there, but he started to freak out and in order to get away he kneed me as hard as he could. I dropped to my knees in pain, and he ran away but not before the police got here and one tackled him to the ground. My father came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder when I stood up.

"You did a good job son" Dad said. "Now we just have to get him to tell us where Saige is."

"That's going to be a challenge" I said as we walked to his police cruiser.

"I don't doubt that one bit" dad said as we got in the cruiser.

On the way to the station, I was deep in thought while staring out the window. When we got to the station, we got out the cruiser and went inside the building.

"I know that look Myka" dad said looking at me. "What are you thinking?"

"I have an idea" I said honestly.

"What's that?" dad asked curiously.

"Alek and Saige are identical twins" I said and looked at him. "We can dress Alek up like Saige and make Nathan think we already found Saige. He will get frustrated and will tell us where he is."

My father smiled at me and patted my shoulder, "this is why I loved when you didn't move away with your mother."

I rolled my eyes, "mom and I never got along. So why would I move with mom just so we would do nothing but fight."

"Yeah, I don't blame you" dad said smiling.

After a while, we had Alek dressed exactly like Saige.

"You really think this is going to work?" Alek asked nervously.

"It has to work" I said frowning, "if he sees you dressed as Saige; I'm hoping he'll get upset thinking that we found him already. That way he will tell us where he actually is."

"Nathan is my --- or was my best friend" Alek said. "What if he can tell it is me... My leg isn't in a cast."

"Already ahead of you" I said as my father walked in with a fake cast.
