Let Me Go

Chapter Six | Kidnapped

"Do you wanna go back to school?" he asked, pulling back.

His soft, sweet side, the one without walls was gone.

I would take what I could get.

"No, we've already ditched anyways. We might as well make a day out of it." I said.

He smiled at my answer.

Yeah, I know.

He smiled.

"What you want to do then?" he asked.

"Show me around town. You know, since I'm new and all."

He did. He took me to a park. We walked and talked for a while. He even took me to the Strip. We had all day. It's not like it mattered.

We messed around for a while. We wereJust being two stupid teenagers all day. I was cautious around him.

But guess what?!

He had a smile,

That never left his face.

All day it was there.

I knew I was pushing my limits here. The assignment never left my mind.

I couldn't be close with him.

But, the feelings in my stomach,

They had a different idea in mind.

I wasn't sure how he felt. I just enjoyed the time we had spent together.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"I would kill to eat right now!" I said.

I guess I didn't really think about what I had said out loud. It just slipped, I really hadn't meant to.

I saw the look on his face. He thought I didn't know about his history. I had to keep acting like I didn't.

"What do you want to eat?"

"I can eat anything right now."

"I know this really good diner, is that okay?"

"Sure" I said smiling.

He took me to the diner. It was near my house I noticed. We had finally driven back.

We ordered and just sat there talking. He was comfortable with talking to me at this point. He felt like he could trust me.

You don't even know the guilt that was inside of me.

"So, what was so bad about your dad that you had to move in with your uncle?" He asked me.

My stomach turned.

What do I say?

"My dad, he was controlling me. I needed some space. My uncle suggested I take a break and stay with him for a while. I mean my dad hated the idea, but I needed to do this for me. You know?" I asked him, hoping my lie was working.

"No Mom?" He asked.

"Uh, no. No mom. She died." I said hoping he wouldn't push it.

I mean that last part, I had said by mistake. I had been so used to the telling people the story it just came naturally I guess.

"Can I ask how it happened?" he asked truly caring. I could read it in his eyes.

There was one problem with that question.

My stomach..

 Why?

Because..

I felt like throwing up.

I couldn't just sit here, in this booth across from him and tell him the truth.

Not when we had gotten this far, already.

"Would you be upset if I said I didn't really want to talk about it?" I asked, scared of what his reaction might be.

"No. You just seem really bothered about it." He mumbled.

"Yeah, it's something I really hate talking about." I whispered.

"I should get you back." he said.

I could tell we had become awkward. I mean I didn't feel bad, but I did.

I handed him a 20 for my lunch since he had the check.

"No, I got it." He said, ignoring my hand.

"Jay! No! Here!" I said trying to toss it to him.

I stopped when I noticed him staring at me oddly.

"What?" I asked. I was a little nervous for his answer.

It then clicked in my mind, I had called him Jay. Not Jason, but Jay.

"Uhm.." He said not totally sure if he was okay with me calling him that.

"Am I not allowed to call you that?" I asked, teasing him.

He smirked.

"Another round of twenty questions?"

"Funny!" I said standing up.

We got back into his truck & drove to the school. I needed my car.

He pulled up next to it.

I hopped out, unlocking my car.

I turned to see him, staring at me.

I walked back up to the passenger window.

"Thank you, for kidnapping me. We should do it again sometime. I really needed it." I said turning to walk away.

"Ryder!" he called out, causing me to stop dead in my tracks.

"Yeah?" I called out.

"Do you think we could hang this weekend?" He asked, curiously.

I smiled, returning to the window.

I pulled a pen out of my back pocket holding my hand out for his.

He slowly placed his hand in mine. I turned it, and wrote on the inside my number.

"Bye Jason." I said walking away, getting into my car and driving away.

 There was just one problem.

I couldn't stop smiling.

Not, part of the plan.
