Shit!
I said frantically jumping out of my bed. I turned my hed toward the alarm clock. 07:23 AM.
Lance? Lance! I shook Lance out of his sleep. What, what's going on? He asked in a confused tone. Half asleep. "Wake up Lance. My parents are coming home today"
Holy Shit! He sprung out of my bed.
"Weren't they coming back next week?" He asked, awoken from shock.
"My dad texted me saying they're taking their flight in 4 hours. That was THREE HOURS AGO!"
Lance quickly took his things and put them on. And I frantically tidied my room then ran through the passage, luckily the maids cleaned everything from last night.
I ran back to my room and found Lance washing his face then he quickly fixed himself up. He looked good. I told him to get his shirt off and gave him a turtle neck so he could look formal Infront of my parents. They knew him, but I didn't want them to think I was dating a junkie. He then pulled out his glasses and firmly placed them on his face. He looked like a nerdy guy.
He then went downstairs to make tea for him and me. He took a book a began to read it. About 20 or 25 minutes later my parents knocked at my door.
"Hey Amari, Lance is here to see you. Why are you still asleep? You know what nevermind". Yes! I said victorious in my head.
I scratched my head in act of convincing my mom I was asleep.
I walked downstairs to find my Dad talking to Lance.
Morning Dad, Hey Lance.
Hey Ami. You know? You made a good choice dating Lance. He said in a proud tone.
What do you mean Dad? Acting confused.
He reads books, he checks up on you and he's respectful.
'if only he knew what happened last night' I said to myself.
Last night's experience was surreal.
Yet I couldn't get the brown eyed boy outta my head. I thought. Who was he?
Lance left a few hours later
Jess (my best friend) came over
"So... Your eyes met and he just disappeared?"
"Yes, it was like a romance movie"
"Damn Ami. Ion think we gon find him anytime soon"
Aight, maybe it was a coincidence
We gotta go shopping, we got school next week remember?
Oh,yeah.
We going today or.....
Oh yeah yeah uhm. I'll ask Leonard to drive us to the mall.
On the way there I felt like it was my first time on earth, like I was breathing different air.
I leant my arms on the window of the car and the wind softly blew on my face, I just felt different.
While shopping and trying a few things on I felt a bit hungry.
Jessss I groaned. I'm starving.
Chick-fil-A? I asked
"Anyday" Jess answered
I felt watched on the way
Uneasy
As we ordered, I realized my card was maxed out, Jess payed tho-
Half done eating I excused myself to the bathroom
Before I even entered I felt a cloth over my face, then boom
Everything went black. I couldn't scream. I couldn't move.
I felt the person pick me up and carried me on his back.
Minutes later I felt a car move, it sounded like an old school car.
It felt like a really long drive. I woke up hours later. In a room. I froze.
I screamed. "Shit"
I stood up and ran for the door. It had no handle
I struggled and pushed forcefully.
There's no way you're getting out of here. I heard a voice, I recognized it
You can struggle all you want, you'll just tire yourself out.
Lance?
Lance!? I yelled confused. What's going on?
Just a little Vacay babe. Until your dad pays ransom
Ransom? What ransom!? Your family is the wealthiest in the country, why would you want ransom!?
See Amari, a little mishap happened between my father's deal with a client a few days ago and he needs money to pay him since weve gone bankrupt.
So you thought of kidnapping me of all people Lance!?
Your family is the second wealthiest in the country.
Lance please. Think about this, you can't be serious, where even are we?
You are where no one can find you.
Lance. Tell me you're joking.
I'm not.
I screamed Lances name in hatred and anger.
I Fucking Hate You!!
I jumped on him planning to puch his stupid face.
He gently grabbed my arms to stop me
Why Lance? I asked as I felt a tear roll down my cheek.
He gave me a cold look
"Don't take it personally"
WHAT! I felt my blood boil.
I pulled my arm away from his grip and punched him right in the eye.
It hurt, but I didn't show it
AMARIA! he yelled. Placing his hand on his eye.
I Hate You Lance I said calmly but deep down I wanted to lay another punch.
I climbed on the bed and sobbed.
He left.
Hours after crying my eyes out I walked around examining the room.
There was a bathroom and a half full walk in closet. I peeked through the window. Trees. Trees. Trees.
Clearly we were in a cabin far from other human contact.
I searched the drawers. There was underwear,new. Pads and tampons.
Towels.
A woman came to give me food hours later. A cheese sandwich and iced coffee.
I didn't eat.
After she left I forced myself not to eat hoping if just starve to death. But my hunger eventually gave in.
I took a shower and put on the pajamas neatly laid on the bed
I didn't even care who put them there anymore.
I just sat in a corner with a blanket and cried.
My tears we bitter, I could feel them burning my eyes before they fell.
After what felt like two weeks or three maybe.
A man walked in.
