His Hostage ✓

Until You're Here

Amara

"You know Brandon, you're a really cool guy"

"Thank you" He said and I noticed his cheeks went a little pink.

I felt bad, but I had to get out of here. Maybe he was a cool guy, maybe we could hang after all this. It's been a few days ever since I came here. I've had some opportunities to take his phone, but to be honest, I was scared. They were all risky.

"You seem really great too. I-I'm sorry that you're going through this" He said fiddling with his fingers.

"Going through what?" I asked.

Oh the constant kidnapping from different guys? It's cool, it's fun.

"Well ah- this" He said, "You're somewhere you don't want to be"

Should I say it? I'll say it.

"At least I have good company" I smiled.

"I'm glad to see that you're thinking of this positively" He chuckled.

I knew for a fact the phone was in his back pocket, I just had to get it somehow.

I don't want to touch his butt.

I was running out of ideas and I was getting so frustrated.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Who, me? Yeah totally" I said chuckling nervously.

My awkwardness will get me killed someday.

"I mean you have every right to not be okay" He said looking down.

"Brandon if you know how bad this is why don't you let me go?" I said getting straight to the point.

I mean it can't get much worse.

"What? I-I can't"

"Why?"

"I could lose everything. Including my life" He said.

"Well I've already lost everything" I said feeling my eyes tear up.

Oh no honey, we're not going to cry in front of him.

"Why did you choose to ruin people's lives as your job? Why didn't you want to be a normal person?"

He seemed speechless and shocked.

"I-It happened before I even realized it"

Great answer.

"I understand you're a little frustrated because of everything going on-"

"A little!?" I yelled.

"A-a lot!" He said standing up. He looked nervous, "Look, I'm sorry. If there's anything I can do to help other than helping you escape, I'll do it"

"I just miss home" I said hugging myself and sinking into my bed.

"Do you um-" He trailed off, "Do you want a hug?"

Just what I need.

I looked at him and nodded and he smiled and gestured for me to stand up.

We hugged for a few seconds and after I thanked him, he left saying he had to talk to Mr Scott.

I jumped into my bed getting under the covers.

"I guess stealing gums when I was five came in handy" I said looking at Brandon's phone.

Did I feel bad? Maybe.
