Two Ways to Love

Chapter 27

We have been driving for around 5 minutes and I can't help but notice Jackson has been following our car closely.

I hesitate in telling Eve, knowing she might have a heart attack.

I tell her anyway, just for fun.

"Don't panic, but Jackson has been following us the whole way." She looks in the rear view mirror and catches a glance at Jackson's grey Jeep.

She breathes in and out repeatedly, seeming to calm herself. "What are you talking about? Maybe they are just going the same way as us."

"I guess." I mutter, knowing that's completely bullshit.

Eve decides to go through the Bojangle's drive through, to calm her nerves, and orders us both food.

I still can't help but notice Jackson's lurking presence and I know something sketchy is going on. I don't bother telling Eve though, knowing she really might just pass out.

One Direction still plays and we just drive around while eating. But I can't take it anymore, getting annoyed that Jackson is still driving behind us!

"Jackson is deadass still following us."

Her eyebrows furrow and she speeds up. "What do we do!? We can't stop the car, or-or they are going to beat us up!"

I make a 'Really?' face. "Are you being for real?"

She nods her head and wipes her mouth. "I'll just keep driving, put them off our track you know?"

"Sureee." I drawl out, carelessly on my phone.

We for sure have been driving for a good 15 minutes now and they are still hot on our trail.

Eve starts swerving left and right and I calmly just look out the window, enjoying the nice weather.

"Valentina, I think we're lost! I don't know where we are!!" I snapback into reality, looking at my surroundings.

Indeed we were lost, I didn't recognize the isolated road we were on and for sure this was turning into a horror movie rather quickly.

I turned to see the grey Jeep speeding up to meet us and I yell, "Hit the gas honey, we really might just get killed out here!"

Eve goes into a state of panic and we continue speeding down the road, to make it worse, it's starting to get darker and there is really no other cars out here.

Eve isn't even hitting 50 mph and I yell, "Speed up Grandma! Pretend we in the fast and furious or something."

She does an unnecessary swerve again and yells back, "I'm trying, this is all too much!"

I giggle a little because this is a little funny, come on. I feel like we are in some type of movie.

Her head snaps to look at me, "Are you laughing right now!? Well why don't you do something to help this situation, like calling someone maybe!!"

Sighing, I pick up my phone. I dialled 3, my speed dial number, and put it up to my ear. Listening to the 2 seconds of my phone ring, then go straight to saying, 'I'm sorry, your phone is out of service! Please pay-' I hang up, knowing that voice machine all too well. I go to click my phone shut, but it seems to do it by itself. That's when I realize my phone really just died on me.

"Uh, Houston we may have a problem."

"What? What?!"

I bite my lip, "I have no service on my phone...and it just died."

She turns red in the face, "Valentina!? Maybe if you weren't on instagram the whole time we were at the mall, your phone wouldn't of died!"

I roll my eyes, "Like that could've helped, I wouldn't have been able to call anyone anyway because I have no service."

Just picture it, two girls in a car, listening to one direction, speeding down a sketchy road because one girls psychopath ex boyfriend is following us with his equally crazy friends!!

Well, how much worse can this get.

Oh, spoke too soon.

The car comes to a halt, the engine's sound withering away.

Eve looks at me, then turns the key to the ignition. We hear nothing and that's really when she starts to go into panic mode.

She clutches her chest, squeezing her eyes shut, breathing in and out.

"My heart feels like it's about to fly out of my chest!" She tells me.

I look around, the world not on our side because there is only a shred of light.

We hear the sound of a car pulling up and Eve quickly hits the button to make sure the doors are locked.

Jackson appears, his 3 friends following suit.

He brushes his hand through his hair and taps the window on Eve's side.

"Come out Evey, I just wanna talk." He pouts, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

His friends are surrounding our car, one looking through my window.

I put my middle finger up and say, "Fuck off." Making him bang the window.

Eve jumps up and covers her face as all the voices outside start shouting nasty stuff at us.

"Valentina what do we do. We are going to die-."

A loud bang is heard and Eve screams, jumping up in her seat.

Jackson is laughing with his friends, they are all banging on the car windows, trying to get us out.

"Come on girls, this would all be easier if you just came out to play."

My eyes travel down and I see Eve's phone just sitting there.

"Are you fucking kidding?! Eve you have your phone!"

Her eyes open in realization and she says, "Oh yeah!"

Her hands are shaking and all she manages to do is unlock her phone.

I take it out of her hands and dial the only reasonable person, 911 right? Wrong.

I call Angelo.

Jackson doesn't look very happy when he see's me calling for help and hits the car window's harder.

Eve yells for him to stop and I continue to listen to the phone ring. It finally stops and I hear the comforting voice of Angelo, "Hello?"

"Angelo!" I get out quickly.

"Valentina? What's wrong, why is it so loud over there?"

I eye the damage Jackson and his friends are doing to the car, every second they are getting closer and closer to breaking in.

"Angelo, Jackson and his friends are trying to fucking kill us! We're lost and-"

I hear scuffling on the other end of the line, "Valentina, baby I need you to go on maps and see where you are."

I quickly go and check, telling him our location.

Once he knows where we are he says, "I'm coming, don't get out of the car!"

I purse my lips, "Really, I was just about to jump into Jackson arms."

"Valentina." Angelo growls.

There's a loud bang and the window shatters onto me, Eve yells and it all happens too quick.

Eve's phone is thrown out of my hand's and I'm basically being dragged out of the car.

Welp, hope Angelo comes quick.
