Our Future

33

For the past hour, Belle and I haven't said a word since the guys left. I think we were trying convince ourselves that everything would be okay. "Do you want coffee?" I asked her in a whisper and she nodded. "They would be back by morning, we should sleep early tonight for a fresh day tomorrow." Belle said to herself rather than me. I walked to the kitchen and made two cups of coffee with shaking hands, I couldn't help but worry about Senshi and he guys. Are they okay? What are they doing?

I carry the cups back to the living room and hand one to Belle "I-I'll be in the Family Room if you need me." I silently shuffled into family room and sat at the piano, lifting the cover off the keys and gently resting my slender fingers on them. This reminded me of the many times Senshi would play it for me, the kitchen reminded me of our times together cooking and the living room held too many to recall; this entire apartment was suffocating to me. I began to feel nauseous, dashing to bathroom and emptying the contents of my stomach in the toilet.

The door flung open revealing a worried looking Belle "Geez Anela are you sure you're okay?" I nod while getting up and washing my face "Yeah, just stress." She looked at me as she didn't believe me but she just walked away before yelling over her shoulder "Try to get some sleep, yeah? That might help." I didn't even bother answering, puking took all my energy away. After I finished brushing my teeth, I went into Senshi's room and lay on his bed and hugged his pillow tightly; it smelled just like him.

I don't know when I fell asleep but somehow I did. I sat up on the bed and checked the time, "8:15" I mumble. The boys have been gone for two hours, sighing, I go and use the bathroom. Again, I puked in the toilet; what's happening to me? This is all too much. I walk back to the room and change into Senshi's dark red hoodie, some black leggings and my red converse. I tie my hair up in a messy bun and took my phone, Belle was asleep on the sofa; perfect. I left her a note: 'Don't freak out, I'm going to the park. I'll be back late probably, I know I'm not supposed to be out until the boys get back (if they do) but its to suffocating in here. I can't stand it, don't come looking for me; I'll call you if something happens -Anela'

I stuck it on her phone screen and quietly slipped through the door. I strolled towards the park, enjoying the fresh air. I reach the park gates and see little children running in and out despite it being night time, giving their parents both a great but hard time. I smiled softly remembering the times Senshi and I had visited here in the past two weeks. I spent some time- okay a lot of time sitting on the swings and walking around the park. It was 10:36 pm, no wonder the park got so empty. I sat on the swing rocking back and forth, I put on my phone and saw 25 miss calls from Belle with 3 voicemails.

I listened to them, "ANELA WHERE THE F*CK ARE YOU, OH MY GOD?! THE PARK? REALLY? You know we aren't allowed to be out. just...just message me when you get this." I chuckled at her concern, I then moved onto the second one "Hey, on your way home can you pick up some creamed cheese at the grocery? I'm going to make a cheesecake when you get back, thanks and bye." As if on cue, my stomach growled a little, cheesecake did sound about good right now. I clicked on the last one "Anela where are you? You've been gone for hours with no word on your where-abouts, I'm getting worried; are you okay? Call me when you get this." Guilt began to settle in, I haven't messaged her in about two hours; it's in the middle of the night for god's sake.

I dialed her number and mentally cursed my stupidity for not calling my best friend. "Hi-ya! Obviously I, Belle, cannot come to the phone so just leave a message at the beep!" Just my luck, I'll just leave a message then. "Hey Belle, Annie here. I'm really sorry for not answering your calls but I needed to get out of the apartment. I'm coming back in a few minutes so don't worry, I'm not dead." "Yet" I turned around and saw a man standing behind me with a sinister grin on his scarred face, scared, I dropped my phone and slowly began to walk backwards "What? Who are you? What do you want?"

A slightly shorter person with silver hair stepped out from behind him "I think you already know who I am sweetheart." "Theadore..." I mumble and he laughed "Bingo! Points for you, now I am going to kidnap you and take you back to my boss, okay?" My breathing picked up, maybe I shouldn't have left the apartment, "No you're not." He stepped closer to me "It's not an option babygirl, either you comply or we take you the hard way. I step back again but bump into something- or someone.

I spin around and see a buff looking man with a mask on staring at me. "No where to go, choose quickly; I'm kind of running late." I try to run away but the buff man grab me before I could get a few steps away, Theadore sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "I really hoped you would have chosen the easy way but, looks like you made my time exciting." He then turned around and began to walk away, but he yelled over his shoulder "Take her away, no noise."

The buff man began to painfully drag me to a black SUV, I screamed, kicked and punched wildly and blindly around me but my attempt were futile. A bag went over my head and I was thrown into the van, tears streamed down my face as I begged them to let me go. I heard Theadore's voice behind me "Night night princess." Then I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, he hit me with something; hard. My vision swarmed and my head got heavy, along with my far away hearing; then everything went black.
