Escape

Chapter 4

Nakia's POV

1 WEEK LATER

It's been a week. A week since half my best friend group went missing. A week since I've seen my 3 other best friends. In this week, I've become extremely depressed, feeling like nothing is left inside of me. School started again 3 days ago from break, I'm a straight A student who hasn't missed a day of school. Now I've missed 3 in a row. I didn't have the energy to go and see people, I was exhausted from all the crying I've done straight for the past week.

The only progress I've made this week was when I visited the police station with Emma 4 days ago. I had explained the whole situation with all we knew about the night Janice and the 2 Katie's went missing. They opened the case to do some further investigation which made me happy to know that we might find out where they had disappeared. Hayley also went missing the night she left with Diego. She told us Diego was bringing her to his house but now thinking about it, I wonder if he was lying about taking her home. But he also went missing that night. Leaving just Emma and I together, alone.

I stayed in my house this past week, I haven't left once.

My mom started to get worried about me, asking if I wanted to talk or if I wanted to hang out with anyone, each time I denied.

My room was the place I stayed since the missing had happened, It was painted a light purple with a mini crystal chandelier. I had a white desk with pink decorations around it on one wall, on the other wall had my bed up against it and the last wall had crystal lights draping from the wall with clips of pictures with my best friends and I all hanging out. I miss them so much.

I took my pink fuzzy blanket that I had received from Emma last year on my birthday and put it on top of me. I sighed in relief from the warmth.

I walked over to my desk and grabbed my notebook and pencil and walked back over to my bed, sitting and opening my notebook to my most recent entry. I'm currently creating a story called "Memories" that mentions every memory I remember with being with my best friends.

Writing calms my mind and makes me forget everything going on at that moment. But I wanted to write something personal to myself. So I started writing my favorite song lyrics on a new clean page.

"She sleeps alone.
My heart wants to come home.
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.
She lies awake.
I'm trying to find the words to say.
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you.
Another day and I'm somewhere new.
I made a promise that I'll come home soon.
Bring me back, bring me back to you.
When we both wake up underneath the same sun.
Time stops, I wish that I could rewind.
So close but so far away."

I loved this song so much, I hummed it and sang the song in my mind. I write "Besides you" on the top of the page.

"Those are some beautiful song lyrics, 5 Seconds of Summer right?" I look up to see a lean man with dark hair and starring at me.

He smirks, my reaction must of been obvious.

I throw the pink fuzzy blanket off of me and jump off of the bed. I walk slowly backwards towards my bedroom door.

"Nakia Person, I've heard so many good things about you." He says in a raspy voice.

"W....What do you want with me." I said as I felt hot tears coming down my cheek.

"Don't cry, I'm only here to tell you something about your friends." He says looking at me directly in the eyes.

He walks over to me and pushes me against the wall so that our foreheads are touching. I try and squirm away but he locks my body against the wall so I couldn't move. His breath smells like mint as he breathes on top me.

"I know where your friends are, I can take you to them on one condition." He tells me looking into my eyes.

"What?" I ask sobbing.

"I'll let you know when I return later." He says letting go of me and walking to the window. I fall to the ground and stare at him, waiting to tell me how I can go and see my best friends. He puts his body out the window and looks back at me.

"The names Connor by the way. Connor Franta." As soon I go turn around to say something, he disappears.

All of this was happening, way to fast..
