"What do I do?" I look around for somewhere to get out. "5 mins.. he comes back in 5mins Billie. Be smart."

I look around but there's deadass nothing but plastic paper covering everything. I look at this plant sitting on the ground. Usually when there's a plant somewhere, there's a key. I look through the plant, nothing. I lift it up and there it was, bingo. I start to unlock the first one, getting to the second before I hear the back door open but from where I'm standing, they can't see me yet.

I start panicking, unlocking the second one. Then doing the third. As I open the door, I hear a voice. "Aye! What do you think you're doing?!" He screams running towards me. I open the door, picking shark up and speeding down the street. I didn't even look back, I just kept running. After a couple mins, I turn around to make sure nobody was following me, walking up to my house.

I rang the doorbell 20 times before Riley could open it. "BABYIJUSTALMOSTGOTKIDNAPPEDBYTHEMANTHATWESEEALLTHETIMEHISFRIENDTRIEDTOKIDNAPPMETOOANDIWASATHISHOUSE WIT-"
She pushes me in, closing the door. "Woah baby! Calm down! What happened?" I go to sit on the couch, throwing my hoodie on the ground and taking shark off the leash.

"That creepy man that helped with the lawn mower baby. He tried to kidnap me. He had these creepy men following me in a white van while I was walking shark and he offered to walk with him till the van went away but then he took me to his house. He was being really touchy and weird. Then I tried to leave when he went outside to smoke and the door was locked from the outside. There was three locks and his house was covered in this plastic paper. And he knew my fucking name baby. He called me Billie and I think he's the one that broke in last week. Im not kidding, I don't feel safe here anymore."

She pulls me into a hug, rapping her arms around my waist. "So when you called me, why didn't you ask for help baby?" I knew this question was gonna come up. "I didn't want you going there and getting hurt. I don't care what happens to me, as long as I know you're breathing I'm okay."

"But billie we're a team. We're suppose to stick together. When one person is in trouble, the other helps. That's our promise and we have to keep it. You can't be scared to ask for help baby." She kisses my forehead. I put my head on her shoulder hoping to forget this ever happened.

"I've never ran that much in my life." I laugh petting shark. "I wish I would've seen that. Your little legs flopping everywhere." I look up at her, flicking her arm. "My legs aren't little you tree trunk."

She's the only one that can make me forget about reality even when it just happened and that's what I love most about her.
